AMAZON AND GOOGLE WANT TO TRIPLE NUCLEAR ENERGY PRODUCTION

With all the attention on autopens, Elon Musk, and the Ukraine in the news lately, there are a lot of stories being ignored that I think are quite significant, and that deserve some  high octane speculation, and that's true of today's article shared by K.M. (with our gratitude):

Amazon, Google sign pledge to support tripling of nuclear energy capacity by 2050

There are a couple of particular statements in this article that grabbed my attention and which, I think, is indeed the crux interpretum for the short article, and which provokes my high octane speculation of today. It's this:

Major companies such as Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab and Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab on Wednesday signed a pledge to support the goal of at least tripling the world's nuclear energy capacity by 2050, on the sidelines of the CERAWeek conference in Houston.

...

"We are truly at the beginning of a new industry," U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Reuters in an interview at the CERAWeek conference on Tuesday.
The pledge is expected to gain more support in the coming months from industries including maritime, aviation and oil and gas, said the World Nuclear Association (WNA), the nuclear industry group that facilitated the pledge, in a press release.
It adds on to the vow from over 30 countries, which also aimed to triple capacity by 2050 in 2023.
Nuclear energy, a source of clean power, generates 9% of the world's electricity from 439 power reactors, according to WNA.
...
It has also become a compelling solution for power-guzzling data centers, with Big Tech firms already having signed multiple billion-dollar deals with utilities. (Italicized emphases added)
So we note three things: (1) The goal is to triple the globe's output of power production by nuclear means by 2050; (2) this is heralding the beginning "of a new industry"; and (3) the assertion that nuclear energy is "clean."  The article then ends by noting the skyrocketing price of uranium oxide, which leads one to conclude that the kind of nuclear power production that is in view in the article is production via fission reactions, since uranium would be used in most fission reactors, though there are compelling designs for thorium-based fission reactors. My point in dwelling on fission is merely that the claim that such reactors are "clean" is, at the minimum, stretching the point, for no fission reactor is "clean", and every fission reactor produces by products - nuclear waste - that themselves have to carefully stored. For those who think that fission reactors are "clean" I have three phrases: Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima.
But perhaps we're looking at something else being signaled by this article. Recently China set another record for a sustained fusion reaction  of 1066 seconds (see today's tidbit). Fusion, by comparison to fission, is a much cleaner process, and while I continue to maintain that there are dangers to fusion reactors that "they" are not telling us - like sudden and catastrophic breakdown of the containment of a fusion plasma, similar in fashion to the breakdown of gravitational and electromagnetic containment in stars (with a similar result) - fusion reactors are, from the standpoint of byproducts, nowhere near as "dirty" as a fission reactor. So the phrase "we are at the beginning of a new industry" perhaps is referring to the expected coming breakthroughs in controlled hot fusion reactors.
The question then becomes rather different, and it is one that Catherine Austin Fitts has warned about many times in her broadcasts and her quarterly wrapups that we record: the massive amounts of power are going to be needed to run two things: (1) the expected emergence of artificial intelligence and data centers; and (2) the expected world of "digital currency" which, as most people know, consume more energy than a panzer division to run, if I may borrow the phrase of Ms. Fitts once again.
In other words, the article is a strong indicator that Mr. Globalooney plans to go forward with his plans for artificial intelligence and a cashless "digital currency" world. But all of it depends on being able to make that controlled hot fusion work, and of course, you'll have noticed that the one thing they never talk about in their fusion euphoria is the amount of electrical power required to power those massive electromagnets that contain the fusion plasma to power the AI's that mine the digital currencies. There's always a cost to the manufacture and minting of money, howsoever it is made: from coins in a roller mill to blips on a computer screen. That cost of money manufacture has a name, and it is seigniorage, which is usually a profit made by the mint making the money, but technically, it's merely the cost of money production.  I have to wonder, therefore, why the electrical power requirements for the big magnets are never discussed: will it really be cost effective to build out such an infrastructure when compared to, let us say, the costs of producing pennies in a roller mill?
I don't know about you, but when I look at the comparative infrastructures of rolling mills, printing presses, and cutting machines, versus that of tokamak electromagnets, cooling towers, artificial intelligence, and crypto-currencies, it strikes me that the whole thing seems more expensive than it might be worth, especially as the technocratic infrastructure needed to run and maintain the latter is so much more cost intensive... just a thought. And while we're noticing things that "they" do not like to talk about, you'll also have noticed that missing entirely from the discussion is any mention of cold fusion....
See you on the flip side...

    Amazon and Google may have noticed what will soon be produced by a couple of startup companies in Oak Ridge: nuclear reactors that use nuclear fuel “pellets” about the size of softballs. They can be thought of as a sort of nuclear pellet stove. The pellets are fed into the reactor chamber. Cut off the input of pellets and the reaction quickly stops. No control rods or runaway reactions, so much safer. Supposedly the reaction burns more cleanly.

    I first read about this concept way back in the 1990s. The question is why it took all this time to put into development.

    You bring up an interesting question Joseph what would a Fusion Reactor Meltdown a la Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, or Fukushima be like, and question how do our scientists know that the stars operate by fusion? There is the Electric Universe Plasma theory to ponder.

    When you’re just a dozen or so billionaire or trillionaire families trying to bring about your version of the Messianic Golden Age and your greatest sages say you have to do this before the seventh millennium (which is only a little over two hundred years away) you would hypothetically have multiple plans in play simultaneously to achieve this end. If one fails because your target wises up perhaps the other scenarios will slip by under their radar until its too late and succeed. AI robot armies may need some refining and take more AI infrastructure and power than we currently have. Nuclear dominoes of all the world’s top powers looks like it’s not going to happen so better start funding the build up of the infrastructure of your other mad plans pronto because the world is waking up to who you are and what you hypothetically may be about.

    From headline; i suspect AI

    First line autopen[AP]. Which Trump declared Biden’s pardon AP’s, null & void.

    US allegedy shuts dpwn probe into children’s kidnapping[Russain/The Ukraine proxy war]

    I lump Google/AI into the CIA secret finance operations[others too, like Uber]

    The nuclear energy push is to support the AI energy & CBDC currency digital prison grids.
    Amd, of corse; other nefarious stacked operations, within that nuclear energy orbit.
    From my perspective, “clean nuclear energy” is…
    a JumbO Shrimp, Military Intelligence oxymoron.

    Also, reading between the lines; expect power blackouts/brownouts.
    Again, all part of the Deep State stacked operations.

    Yes, I remember that telltale article of China’s fushion breakthrough.
    Portends well for China.
    However; West will endeavor to sabotage those fushion reactors.

    Of course; the West will continue to lead in domestic population reductions,
    due to its dirty energies, dirty injections, and other ongoing population reduction programs.
    Chemtrails being Its superstar.

    Afterall; a digital globalized prison tenchnocratic totalitarian complex is..
    extremely energy-intensive.
    The inhuman, unauthorized, horrific experimentations; however, will be a HUGE plus.

    Yep! The Western leadershi is one…
    To Die For.

    The tradition of chopping heads of oligarchs, and toasting them to hell, by using their skulls, as drinking cups, began in the 7th century BC, which is aptly named the “Scythian century”.

    Transnational corporations are modern techno-empires, whereas, the Last Supper toast is a Scythian revival, sworn on grandaddy’s cranium, in a pledge, to blow up a Death Star.

    I should think Mr Globalooney’s underlining desire for nuclear power is for development of nuclear fusion for spaceship power and propulsion.
