Energy Growth Transportation

The keys to "smart and sustainable growth" are strategically located existing villages with a Master Planned mix of low and medium density housing, local industry, institutions and commercial. They would have traditional downtown cores, but feature circular residential and industrial streets, augmented by spokes connecting to regional cities. Intervening farmland, forest and recreational areas would be spared development. Post-pandemic economic stimulation could start with a couple of village make-overs north and west of the GTA's green belt. This would set the stage for civic infrastructure projects through the balance of the century. Think round-abouts and Master Planned expansion of small town sltes dispersed in midst of heavy industry/major employment regions. Scan the NEOM site , a proposal to consider street-less urban clusters where families and businesses somehow thrive in harmony without transition and disruption. Just build Utopia and they come! An interesti...

Bulletin -UPDATES on ROLLOUT of SAFIRE REACTOR.   Aureon Energy Ltd, a Canadian start-up, engages investors in three key markets: Clean electricity generation, heating and nuclear waste remediation. Safire creates, controls, sustains and repeats any number of plasma regimes. It is able to contain plasma without powerful and expensive magnets. After 7 years of testing they have a patented stable spherical "SAFIRE" plasma reactor.    https://e-catworld.com/2021/02/16/update-from-aureon-energy/   A team of great engineering and scientific depth have just changed focus from lab work to do project planning and private placement. Phase 2 builds a commercial prototype and developes partnerships. Phase 3 involves building out manufacturing and distribution relationships.   ADDENDUM --------------------------------------- 0-0 ------------------------------------- /b>  https://www.nationalobserver.com/2021/05/25/news/opposition-grows-small-nuclear-reactors-over-ala...

With no space to sprawl, the Greater Toronto Area's populace grows 4 million in 30 years, bringing total population to about 11 million by 2050. Today, there's less than 10 years of developable land left in the GTA. And yet, with no time to waste, band-aid thinking remains fixated on new jobs going to the GTA with workers commuting to dormitory towns and cities -and provincial taxpayers forever funding new freeways within a confined GTA. The best way to confront urban sprawl is to promote compact and pleasant small towns. DAO) was created a by a group of developers to automate decision-making. A blockchain Decentralized Autonomous Organisation would help curb explosive GTA growth: Members buy tokens to get a share in operations and to support DAO governance. Blockchain stores and secures documents of planning, development and IP, plus a Web portal for collaboration. That's the new way of working -not playing lone wolf.

" The Club of Rome plans a global young leadership program based on Education, Engagement and Action -whilst realizing the learning curve must quickly be leveraged into planet-saving impacts. The doomsday clock (11:59) tolls the limits of oil, nuclear -and greed. Our takeover generation focuses on timely world-wide transition to affordable non-polluting and nonradioacive energy, rather than refurbished nuclear plants and continental EV recharging stations. It's time to face reality. http://www.gec.solutions/projects.html   If proven effective at scale, LENR provides a cheap, compact, non-polluting and safe power source. Early and wide E-Cat roll out rescues the environment and humanity. Over the next 5 years robotic production of Low Energy Nuclear Reactors changes how electricity, heat and light are generated and how every sector uses electricity. For CEOs, politicians and voters it’s not how LENR works. What matters is certification's impact on climate, health, jo...

  All is quiet on the Stockholm front pending results of the imminent SKL verification. Goodbye fossil and fission fuels even though their withdrawal causes disruptions in energy and financial markets. Industrialized nations will soon crowd LENR line-ups in order to meet Paris Co2 commitments -and keep their economies competitive.  While progressive nations engage in LENR r & d, Canada bets on dirty oil and risky nuclear energy.  Canadian policies won’t protect jobs and living standards as  competitors shift from centralized energy generation to cheap distributed pollution and radioactive-free heat and electricity production. Still, with  the help of mainline press old physicists try to convince the media, politicians and students that there is no cheap clean alternative to 1970's radioactive energy.  Friday's July 31st start of the Stockholm E-Cat test is related to high power density. Permanent SSM (self sustain mode) is the critical operational...

   For CEOs, politicians and voters, it’s not a matter of how LENR works, but rather early validation, a specific time frame, and the likely impacts on economies, jobs and transport. The  E-Cat World  Forum's  always-open-thread   is a great place for new readers to track LENR's march to market. T une in Friday, July 31st for progress on the SKL reactor's high power density trials.              COVID-19 restrictions present a window for industrial nations to plan a leap-frog of both polluting and radioactive energy. Already diminished markets for expensive fossil and nuclear fuels is pushed by geothermal, hydrogen, solar, wind and soon by on-site LENR -all accelerated by a warming climate and the pandemic catalyst. A major transition of the electricity system is key to solving the climate change problem. LENR allows us to move quickly to further electrify our building, heating and transportation sectors which accou...

                                          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...
