There hasn't been enough of a follow up from me on this subject. Well, there's some discussion out there not covered here, and here's something I'll link to here.

Kirk Sorensen's response linked to above was to a guy that I've posted on recently. Turns out that Peter Zeihan is a Stratfor guy. I knew a little about Stratfor, so it wasn't unfamiliar territory for me.

Current events don't seem to revolve much around this, except maybe for data centers. Data Centers will need a lot of energy, and chemical based energy just isn't going to cut it these days, and so-called renewables are ridiculous in most contexts, especially data centers.

Here's Zeihan's video that Sorensen responded to.







I think the trouble is the lack of knowledge all along the continuum of the mindshare on the entire subject of energy. Throwing out some terms I've seen used, as you may note. Doesn't mean I understand them, but it may make me seem smart.

What I mean is, people need to smarten up out there. The solution is right in front of us, but we refuse to see it.

Here's another Kirk Sorensen video. If you listen to this guy enough, you will be a believer too.

Excellent educational video that will show you the advantages of the thorium molten salt reactor.

It is a very complex subject, but the material can be mastered and understood provided that the person is interested enough.

If you aren't interested, you are making a mistake.  Polls show things are not on the right track.  You cannot get back on the right track unless you understand why things are on the wrong track.  Here is a video that will show you why we have been on the wrong track with regards to energy.  This cascades into other areas.  For example, if we had made the right decisions in the seventies, it would have avoided the Energy Crisis of the seventies, and possibly even the terrorism of the recent age.

We need this technology.  The shame is that we could have had it forty years ago.  It is still not too late.
