Covid-19 - Climate Change - Fossil Fuels
And - Power Generation
Electricity & Climate Change
Ok! They are all linked!
From the time I was a little boy growing up in London just after
WW-2, All the adults knew that the Industrial Revolution had
caused many health problems, not only for the Young boys, like me,
who, in Earlier times, had been the Chimney Sweeps (Child Slave
Labourers), but also the Adult Coal Miners and the Elderly that had
died from Lung Disease!...
Yes! The Government knew Then, as Now, that both Coal Dust in
The Mines and The Small Particles in the Smoke from burning Coal
KILLED People!... This was Confirmed with the Massive Kill Off of
the Elderly in the Early 1950’s with “The Smog” in London and
other Cities!...
That was The Start of the Clean Up in London with the Introduction
of Smokeless Fuels… Good Clean Coal!.. Humph! And New
'Advanced, Efficient, Sealed, Adjustable Combustion Rate Fires'; we
had a Courtier: One for Every home!...
They Knew!... As They Knew, (They being The Government!) about
Lung Cancer coming from Cigarette Smoking!...
There were adverts in all the Public Transport Buses, that we kids
travelled on going to and from School everyday!...
Big Red Double Deckers with Big Pictures of Ashtrays full to
overflowing with Cigarette Butts, with BIG LARGE LETTERS
proclaiming SMOKING Causes LUNG CANCER!
When it was full on the lower deck, we had to ride upstairs: In
those days adults could smoke upstairs!... We often could not see
the front of the bus because of the thick smelly smoke!... All the
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen back from the War, most with some
form of “Shell Shock” or to use the modern terminology “PTSD”…
We know what happened then, Don’t We!!... Same as Now!!... The
Right Wing Think Tanks "Decrying and Denying the Science" with
their own ... "Pseudo Scientists" ... Like the "Pseudo" or
"Commercial Artists", working in The Advertising Industry!... Only
We Know They are Bullshit Artists!... They at least proclaim with
the Word "Comercial" that they have Sold Out!.... Not So The
"Pseudo Scientists"... They are Purely Corrupted Liars!
They have Sold Their Souls to the Highest Bidders!... AND... We All
Know where The Money is.. Don't We?
Well it’s the Same Story Now with Big Coal, Big Oil, Big Gas (Big
COG), 0nly Now it’s Big Pharma instead of The Tobacco Industry:
How Ironic is That??!!...
It’s hard to know where to start on this story; but I think Michael
Moore’s New Documentary “Planet of The Humans” gets the
Picture across far better than I ever could!
Well!!!.......
For those that have been following the Saga of The Pre-Release of
"Planet of The Humans"... and The YouTube take Down... Instead of
Having The Link To The Movie directly Below; I have Pasted The
video of The Rolling Stone Interview with Michael Moore.
I will put The Actual Movie Up Below that Interview; using the "Fair
Use" Copyrite rule and the Permision from The Owners to use it on
my own Website.
Planet of The Humans will be shown Below The Rolling Stone
Interview, which is very informative in its own right!
After the Video Below, I have included some Graphs which also help
to clearly show some of the Points made without the Data, in the
Documentary; A sort of “Back-Up” if you like!...
On with The Motley!
Well at long last the full version of "Planet of The Humans has been
made available... (I guess without the controversial 4 seconds!)
The section from 1:14:00 forward to the end is a pretty good Indictment!
I hope that everyone can Learn and Take appropriate Action from seeing the Truth in This Video!
Imagine The Finalisation of The MSR Thorium - LFTR, and How
many Small Modular Reactors that could be built to Replace All
Fossil Fuels, and Start removing the Excess CO2 Out of The
Atmosphere, also making Carbon Neutral Fuels from some of The
Carbon regained from that CO2, and also providing the Energy for
De-Salinating Sea Water (and possibly some mineral rich Bore
Water!)
To Put Back into Agriculturally Depleted River Systems...
But Also Making Our Lifestyles Much More Sustainable by Making
Industrially Produced Items last as Long as They Used to in My
Youth!...
A Lot to do in The Next 30 Years...
…. We Can Do it!...
…….We Must Do It!...
And Blood and Gore's 40 to 50 TRILLION US Dollars Will Go a Long
Way towards accomplishing That Objective!
......
When Those Presently Invested Funds are Shifted to The Thorium -
LFTR and into New Corporations and Co-Operatives formed to
ReStructure The Industrial Agriculture and Manufacturing Processes
and to Re-Organise the Social Structure: So that The Service Sector
is Organised into Promoting and Educating Our Children and Adults
into the Absolutely Necessary Appreciation of:
"All Life on our Planet!"
== - "And of Our impacts on Our Spaceship Earth" - ==
Now we will see why the introduction of the Solar PV and Wind
Power and other Renewables is just not cutting it!
It is obvious from the Graph of Energy Use in the USA, below, that
so far, the builds of Solar, Wind and other Renewables has only
managed to maintain a small percentage of the Total Power Usage
per annum of about 10% to 15% of the Total Power Used… Sure it
has increased its overall Areas of land covered with Solar Panels
and Number of Units of Wind Generators, but not made or shown
any substantial ability to Replace Coal Or Nuclear… And because it
cannot match the Energy Density of Coal or Nuclear, Nor, The Cost
To Build per TW produced; could it ever do so Economically or
efficiently!...
See The Two Graphs Below, and Note Other Countries are Similar,
and also Note That Most of the Developed Countries have Off-
Shored most of their Heavy Industrial Energy Requirements to Low
Wage and Low Environmentally Controlled Nations Like China…
Also Note That This Graph of Energy Use in The USA Does NOT
include Transport Power produced by Petroleum Products or Gas;
and if Fossil Fueled Transport is to be Replaced by Rlectric Powered
Vehicles, and it has been shown that approximately an Additional
25% of Electric Power will have to be produced to charge and
recharge the Batteries, in order to replace The Fossil Fuel Petroleum
Products and Gas!
"Electricity Production in The USA TW.h"
"Mass of Materials Required in tonnes per terra Wat Hour produced"
Why Burning Wood is Not a Solution to either The Climate Change
Problem OR The Power Generation required .... I mean why Burn a
fuel that has less energy per kg which; in its natural Form, prior to
being cut down or harvested, actually removes CO2 From The
Atmosphere as well!!
.... Very Clever action and Investment by our GREEN Environmental
Leaders!!... Ho! Hum!
"Energy Densities of Some Non-Nuclear Fuels"
Now We will see what could be achieved Using Molten Salt -
Thorium LFTR Fail Safe Reactors ...
"Comparison-of-Fuels-Required-for-Power-Required"
If interested, figures can be updated for your own satisfaction... no
BS here!
And just to Make the Point about the Wasted Power in The
Conventional Nuclear Power Generation .... The Pressurised Water
Reactor (PWR) ....
OR Why So much Fuel in Their Fuel Rods is "Wasted"...
"Energy Wasted - The PWR Vs.-The-Thorium-LFTR"
And Now the Real Picture of Deaths Caused By Conventional "Fossil
Fuels" :-
----- What The Medical Profession has to say! -----
The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change – 2017 report
The 2017 report shows that climate change is already a critical
public health issue. While the delayed response to climate change
over the past two decades has jeopardised human life and
livelihoods, the past 5 years have seen an accelerated response,
with momentum building across many sectors.
Tackling climate change has clear and unprecedented opportunities
to improve public health.
Infographics from lancet:
The 'Lancet' Site is very deep, but Extremely Informative...
Although I MUST say that their RESEARCERS need to Re-Assess their Data Sources with Regard to The So-Called "Renewables" capabilities of Replacing "Big C O G" (Coal Oil Gas) AND NUCLEAR with Solar PV and WindMills!!!
The sections that we are all interested in concerning 'The Infographics' are open access, but do require free registration and checking out the 'Cookie Policy'... It is a very similar set up for cookies, to the one that 'mysustainableworld.co' is intending to employ soon...
But it would be helpful if the Link to 'Infographics' actually worked something like the Link from 'Videos' does!
The Third Link below is the one I looked at previously (I think!!.. lol... but things are Dynamic due to All sorts of reasons...
Patience is required..lol...
In The Mean-Time a 5 minute meal of 'Food for Thought'
Now for those Links to The Infographics associated with the 2017 Report mentione in The First Lancet Video...

Pandemic Effects
The Video below gives a lot of information on this issue which is applicable Globally, perhaps...
But, one aspect that seems to have been missed and not even mentioned (that I am aware of!); is the absolute lack of any planning or action in the last two years of Covid 19, is the requirement in all countries to create a Government Department of "Pandemic Emergency Field Medical Demountable Facilities".
claiming that Hospital and Medical Facilities are NOT OVERWHELMED!... When in fact they are and have been, because Their Prime Purpose of Catering for the NORMAL , Non-Pandemic Needs of the General Electorate, has been CLOSED DOWN!... And access to GP's and Hospital's for simple and/or Complicated Operations has been Curtailed, and has Postponed "INDEFINITELY" Operations that even under Normal, Non-Pandemic conditions, were subject to Long Wait Times Due to "Privatisation" and The chanelling of a large portion of Private Health Fees into The Bank Accounts of Their Corporate Investors "Off Shore Tax Haven" Accounts!... Rather than going into Increasing Investment in Public Health Facilities!!!
