Always had some unanswerd questions about energy.
The Al Gore video about warming.
Yes, climate is on a warming phase.
But, Swiss scientists have shown the gletschers fronts have been higher around the first millenium.
Yes, we had strange hot seasons these last years.
But, never saw mention of the El Niño/La Niña cycles all agricultural traders watch.
Yes, peak-oil is passed, ask BP petro for the law suits.
Yes, we better should use "free" energy.
But, French philosopher Lavoisier (don't call an 18th century savvy a "scientist") told us the principle that: nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything transforms.
Question: which are the implications of deriving a transformation of "free" or "renewable energy" on the Global balance.
Yes, even green activists must accept that the nukes are the only short term answer to the energy shortage. Other fusion or effective solar captors are human generations away to be commercially effective.
There is a generations gap in energy.
And don't be fooled: if 10% of Chinese and Indians were to live by our Western military/economy complex, we would need two other Earths.
So, IMHO, for the 20 next years, focus will go to yellow cake.
Don(t forget, 10% of Chinese and Indians willing to live by our standards will want to take a shower.
What's gonna be the most valuable basic material ? U238 or H²O ? |
