Requiem for Internal Combustion

                                          Automotive Re-make  Robotic manufacturing and 3-D printing now converge with major energy breakthroughs. Automotive and energy suppliers will see more changes in the next 5 years than they absorbed in the last 25; the speed and scope of disruptions are taking, CEOs, elected, graduates and investors by surprise.  Yes, the internal combustion engine and transmission drive train are already being replaced by battery platforms; these platforms will in turn be adapted to cheap space-saving LENR-type electricity generators; no limited range or chaging stations required.   Look how fast Elon Musk, batteries and robotics change the automotive industry:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=G8dcGQWlc7E   And, how fast Ulrich Kranz and Hyundai move on their "skate board" ev platform: https://electrek.co...

LENR Self Sustain Mode -Verification & Demo Event

     All is quiet on the Stockholm  front pending release of summer's Independent LENR Test and Demonstration event. Good by coal, other fossil fuels and fission nuclear; their withdrawal are causing r everberations  in energy markets. Industrialized nations will crowd LENR line-ups in order to meet Paris Co2 commitments -and to keep their economies competitive.   Permanent SSM (Self Sustain Mode) is the critical operational change that suddenly simplifies verification; with SSM there is no out-side electricity input to start up or sustain a running LENR reactor.      Stocks of champagne and roast crow run low. Grumbling skeptics have gone silent.     It’s not just climate deniers in national capitals who would now deny transition to the cheapest cleanest energy available as vintage physicists try to convince politicians there is no alternative to 1970’s radioactive energy.   The World Nuclear Status Report sums ...

Obfuscation in LENR's Last Mile

    https://www. nytimes.com/2020/ 01/08/opinion /nuclear-power- germany.html     Here are some short extracts from a recent   blog post   applicable to the  New York Times energy op ed.   As weeds among rocks, predjuices are tenacious. Leverage the best of existing with the emerging. Public action & consensus make a difference. Learn by recalling the fate of Nicola Tesla. Lemmings and their leaders are all losers. Seek safe, low-cost and no-cost options. Solution applied too late is no solution. Do it now, not soon, not tomorrow.    Having the largest and oldest operating nuclear complex in the world, it is time Canada followed the example of Austria, Australia, New Zeland, Germany, Italy, Japan and Switzerland and shedule closure of aged nuclear reactors -or follow France in issuing iodine pills to millions put at risk of thyroid cancer. E ducating voters on the urgency  of iodine pills, sets of...

Seven- Minute MBA Minus Case Studies and Presentations

   Insightful ideas are best expressed in short sentences. Students, and word-smiths ably compress essence of long notes into one-liners.   Edward de Bono, of lateral thinking fame, challenged us to distill profundities into 7-word phrases.  The following compilation was by JD Sweeney. Use gift of words to lift others. We are in this alone all together. Dare to think and do new things. Learn from a good idea gone bad. Find a niche, then scratch to win. A dreamer be, but become a doer. Sell the vision and build the team. Think big, start small, but act fast. Do it now; not soon, not tomorrow. Be alert and share all that matters. I t's never too late to cease smoking. Chain smoke, go fast; be a statistic. Be a connector of ideas and people. Spot the best ideas and adapt them. A good excuse doesn’t fix a problem. Getting most out of every word pays. Turn an ugly idea into elegant reality. See opportunity in  midst of disruption. Solution...

All Aboard -for the Health of the Environment & Humanity

          LENR Experimentation  is Over, Testing Winds Up as Production Nears     Big Media extol the benefits of legacy energy suppliers and the potential of fission research, while neglecting to inform readers of the arrival of affordable, practical and ultra-clean energy.  With on-site LENR we are no longer captive energy consumers. Hence, NGOs and small press need not await full verification before heralding  LENR's last mile to market.      Without taxpayer assistance, Leonardo Corporation and Brilliant Light Power finalize follow through on their respective patents and business models of selling clean heat and electricity. as services.  Underwriters Lab certification of clean generation of energy plus robotic manufacture, are keys to world-wide reduction in Co2 emissions and elimination  of radiation accidents. Clean means no polluting emissions and  no radiation.   The failure...

Flashback & Nov 2019 Up-date

  It's the first quarter of a new century and rumour has it that a pair of bicycle mechanics are flying around in their motorized heavier than air  machine.   A hundred years later, while a trade war wages and prospect of nuclear re-armarment appears, a trio of inventors try to market their respective versions of a LENR-type heating device that solves the industrial world's twin self-inflicted catastropic ills of atmospheric pollution and nuclear risks;  and, supposedly enlightened voters and elected pay little attention.                        Excerpt  from December 2018 post. (606 hits)  " Early and wide use of LENR helps arrest rising temperatures, rising coastal waters, air pollution, hunger, over-population -and in turn diminishes the threat of nuclear accident and/or war."    Yet many still celebrate New Years by dancing on Titanic's tilting deck.  ...

Northern 519 Thruway -part of Expanded Freeway Grid

                 For  Learners and Leaders, a  time-saving 13-point abstract of a 7-page blog post: https://neuenergy.blogspot.com/2019/05/ontarios-new-freeway-for-new-towns.html     H aving fallen off CN/CP rural rails in the 1960s and losing rural population and municipal revenue, county collaboration on getting a Georgian Bay Freeway is crucial.                      1.    Promoted is a freeway from the 402 near Strathroy, north towards  Walkerton, and thence east to the 400 south of Barrie.    2.     M aki ng the Southern Georgian Bay Freeway visible to residents and to local, provincial and federal politicians is a challenge.    3.    Assessment of chaotic impacts of GTA congestion and rural disconnects has to be made part of long-range freeway planning.  4.    Rural and urban b...
