WATCH: Escaping Energy Poverty – #SolutionsWatch
Did somebody say “small modular, molten fuel salt, thorium fuel cycle, thermal spectrum, breeder reactors”? Well, guess what? Somebody said it. And maybe it’s happening soon! So, what does that mean? Good question!
Today on Solutions Watch, James talks to Thomas Pedersen of Copenhagen Atomics about their next gen small modular reactors and how independent communities of the future will be powered.

James doesn’t live in the real world selling you dud solutions.
If you want to sell your house within the EU and UK you need all the certifications that your house is on the grid and energy compliance.
it makes it a nightmare repeat NIGHTMARE to sell otherwise.
Solutions Watch get in the real fucking world.
IRAN SITUATION
Meryl Nass published larrycJohnson substack article:
–Dark of the moon ends after Sunday, which is best time for bombers to avoid anti-aircraft fire. Next dark period is mid-March.
–New poll has confirmed that US casualties in Iran would sink midterm elections.
–State of the Union is Tuesday & if war no one will listen cuz obsessed w war news
–Trump’s advisors are telling him to accept the Iranian deal he already turned down, pretending that it’s a new deal & his threats worked.
That is, he should pretend that Iran blinked.

Another factor outside of this article: UK rescinded US access to their airbases, saying that attacking another country is a violation of international law. (Maybe also cuz they don’t want to be recipients of Iranian missiles.)
Israel continues to push for attack. Likely outcome: If not Sunday, no war right now.
For energy poverty non can in more dire straights than Dark Green led Germany or Holland: the former has 21% gas reserves and the latter 14% today. They also use gas to generate a lot of electricity, so double whammy coming up.
The Green radicals now depend on prayer to their gods, hope and luck with the weather. As they keep on writing about every year that it was warmer than the last, they should be good emotionally. A frozen woke will still not come to her senses….
A lot of smokescreening there. The classic technique of, not lying, just omitting to mention, certain things, is of course in full swing.
The fuel is still Uranium, which is produced from the Thorium, and the waste products are still dangerous for long times, 500 years half-life kind of figures.
If you wish you and your descendants to live their lives on top of an unstable crust, with its earthquakes and volcanoes and shifting tectonic plates, in which are buried thousands of tons of radioactive nuclear waste, then carry on and follow these simple and hubristic, not wise, technologists.
And, ‘Energy-Poverty’? This can be looked at from two ends. Our ancestors could live full and useful and contented lives using, as a conservative estimate, a tenth of the energy to which we’ve become accustomed, energy that we squander and convince ourselves we absolutely need for uses and habits that are more and more unintelligent.
Economic history of England says that the island would have run out of an energy source due to centuries of clear-cutting of first growth forest had coal not been discovered as a way of driving steam engines, heating houses, et cetera these are the “ancestors” you are referring to, your comment?Are you saying that your ancestors in 1750 used 10 times less energy than you do? If they did, they still managed to run out of wood.
James’ beard makes his lower lip / chin moves like one of those hand-
up-its-arse-to-make-ir-talk dummies… Stiff lower lip ? Botox lip ?
(Once you see it, you cant unsee it !!)
Those evil-doing Satanic Iranians claim they have no intention of
using their Atomic Energy Program to develop nuclear weapons…
So why doesnt POTUS Trump offer those evil Israeli-nightmares
a swap – their nuclear program for some Thorium Molten Salt
Reactors ? He’s famed for making Deals, so why dont he ?
My god. First you refuse to admit what enormities the Epstein files reveal.
Now your pushing nuclear power.
What a load of shit.
Thorium is no better than any other nuclear power. Your expert’s job depends on his defending the indefensible.
Fie. Fie on you.
