Oil Price Alert -for FYI, critque & distribution -edited & revised under title: Dec 9th, 2021 '"The Big Reveal" of the New Fire

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Oil-Prices-Collapse-To-69-On-New-COVID-Fears.html Short term oil prices are always volatile. Still, nuclear and fossil-fueled generation of electricity have recently produced a stream of stranded assets due mainly to cost competition of renewables. Europe and the US are already closing coal plants. The pandemic is just one cause; drilling, pipeline and nuclear accidents are contributors as well as production manipulations by major energy nations. Industries and consumers as well as poor nations are negatively impacted. Big media tend to put a spin on events favourable to their big energy advertisers, while providing no news coverage of promising pollution-free and radiation-free alternatives being readied for market by Aurion Energy, Brilliant Light & Powe r and Leonardo Corporation . E-Cat Electricity Productionn is now Certified. https://www.dw.com/en/world-nuclear-industry-status-report-climate-renewabes/a-59338202 Germany is ...

Risky Cooling Tubes at Bruce & Pickering Nuclear

https://www.cleanairalliance.org/cnsc/https://www.cleanairalliance.org/more-stunning-revelations-about-the-safety-of-ontarios-nuclear-reactors/ "New information has emerged about dangerous conditions in reactor tubing at 2 of the Bruce nuclear reactors. This comes on the heels of Ontario Power Generation (OPG) failing to supply the CNSC with reliable data (scrape samples) to show that the Pickering nuclear station’s pressure tubes are still fit for service." "The recent bad news from Bruce makes it critically important that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) do much more to ensure the safety of all these stations, including Pickering. This has to go beyond sending polite letters to nuclear operators asking them to revisit their computer models. We believe that Pickering must be shut down immediately until there is ironclad proof that its tubing is still fit for service. The only way to get that proof is to take physical samples from the tubes while the pla...

Villages Key to Containing Explosive GTA Growth

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...

Grassroots Blockchain for Growth & Transport

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.

E-Cat Certification + Robotic Manufacture = LENR Future -inc'l edits

" 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...

E-Cat SSM Verification & Demo

  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...
