Posts: 6730I wonder how Ray Kurzweils main prediction for 2030 will pan out. He predicted energy prices would all be at near zero by 2030. Mainly due to solar power. Right now that prediction looks bleak. We need a shitload of these new small nuclear plants in order for that prediction to come true. And even here where I live, there are lobbyists who doesn't want these new reactors. Even when it is clear that thorium can be used instead of uraniaum. And we have a shitload of thorium. Like over 1000 times more energy in the thorium we have than in all the oil and gas we have combined.
Premanufactured thorium powered nuclear plants is the future 10 years ahead. With a break even energy cost of 30 (US) cent per kw / h.

Posts: 22387Russians start to wake up a bit, many leaving their country, despite deep nationalism, but refusing to be fresh flesh to kill. Wake up Russia, you would have better life without Putin and with your brothers Ukrainians, when so many mixed families. We don't need nordstream, we will manage without Russia.

A big winner from the energy crisis in Europe: the U.S. economy.
Battered by skyrocketing gas prices, companies in Europe that make steel, fertilizer and other feedstocks of economic activity are shifting operations to the U.S., attracted by more stable energy prices and muscular government support.
As wild swings in energy prices and persistent supply-chain troubles threaten Europe with what some economists warn could be a new era of deindustrialization, Washington has unveiled a raft of incentives for manufacturing and green energy. The upshot is a playing field increasingly tilted in the U.S.’s favor, executives say, particularly for companies placing bets on projects to make chemicals, batteries and other energy-intensive products.
“It’s a no-brainer to go and do that in the United States,” said Ahmed El-Hoshy, chief executive of Amsterdam-based chemical firm OCI NV, which this month announced an expansion of an ammonia plant in Texas.

In arguments of USA versus most world nations, given the choice between a ship on fire and ship with a leak, I can choose to stay on the ship with a leak whole cursing the engineers at the same time.
Whatever approach one may choose, it's probably better than being a hopelessly nihilistic and racist poser.

Several other individual stories of white collar friends working for smaller companies as consultants and engineers also seem to generate favorable accounts. Cynically, a common statement I hear from them when working on multi-national teams are comments about how their European branch counterparts are only putting in 35 hours work so they're not going to overextend themselves here state-side.

Posts: 6730It is all a setup in order to crush the fiat currency and start anew with central bank digital currencies. And soon we in europe will get basic income paid out directly from the central bank. Because the current interest rate increases will force the central banks to pull the rates far far down below zero 2 years after the rates got hiked. Or leave them where they are and also start with basic income payouts. Just wait 18 months or something like that. Maybe 24.
