We are always so close because a test or experiment yielded a small burst of energy under the most extreme and perfect conditions. Face it! It is fossil fuels or bust, i.e. collapse. And those that think they have it made by living in a country that doesn't need much energy, look out because the food zombies will find you and every desperate nation will take and pillage what you have.
You're aware the planet is a finite size and that accessible resources on it are therefore also of a finite size, aren't you? Or do they skip that class in retard school?
they teach you that in grade 7 geography class. i was told we were using 8 earth amount of resources or something. apparently that isn’t a concern for most people and they wonder why their standard of living is dropping everyday. the retard words spew out every second. it’s the politician. it’s the billionaires. it’s the corrupt bankers. (lol)
Why bother. The cities will be disease ridden death zones inhabited by rats, wild dogs and malarial mosquitoes soon. I don't think you've understood what is about to happen.
"The formula, based on established physics, indicates that when a group of atoms is driven by an external source of energy (like the sun or chemical fuel) and surrounded by a heat bath (like the ocean or atmosphere), it will often gradually restructure itself in order to dissipate increasingly more energy. This could mean that under certain conditions, matter inexorably acquires the key physical attribute associated with life."
Fusion needs Tritium, a hydrogen isotope which has the energy density, and reaction level which would be necessary for the Fusion Reactors we have envisaged so far. We don't have that on Earth, at least not easily found. However, it is on the Moon.
So, we need two things.
1) A moon mining program (See movie: Moon)
2) An actual working Fusion Reactor
Put the two together, and BOOM, we are star borne. Its interesting that we don't actually have any of the stuff needed to operate a viable reactor here. The CANDU reactors are able to manufacture some of this material... and that is what is being used for testing these limited reactions. Apparently, the most expensive matter on the planet.
Obviously, humans were meant to get off this damned rock. But, at the moment, its looking like we are missing an important step or technology or something.
It's impossible to mine the moon. Moon dust gets everywhere, absolutely everywhere, and it destroys machinery and airlocks. It's jagged and sharp because it's never been eroded like on earth. You're not going to space. You'll die miserably like the rest of us in the collapse.
I will do you one better. Airlocks are not possible in space. Rubber and anything pliable will out gas, and expand. It becomes immediately useless. The only locks that work are metal on metal. But problem is, they are only one use. Cold welding will fuse similar metals. As soon as different metals are used, expansion issues occur, and once again, failure occurs.
Our earthbound technologies do not work in space. Airlocks will need something exotic.
I don't know what this 'torr' thing is about but airlocks work in space including on the moon before the dust erodes them. I remember someone crowing about how duct tape couldn't work in space, might have been you actually. I discovered they use a special space version.
Thing with conspiracy theorists is they never do any real research.
Snap. I had a reply, but somehow it got lost. Basically, it was ... that is always the answer to "how was this done?" "A special type of X (but we dont have the tech any more)"
I love the Apollo missions. I still do. This is because, it is a fascinating story. Either it happened, and we don't know how, or it didn't happen, and we have the most incredible cover up in history.
Its been 50 years, and it very much appears that there is a hard barrier from about 600km and up for many reasons.
There is a missing technology here for sure. Fusion gives us heat. We use heat to spin turbines, and then they turn motion to electricity. Right there, it is not viable. Heat direct to electricity is a requirement for fusion to be viable.
So, fusion will not work. This is disappointing, as it was held out as that ... once we figure out fusion, weve got it made. We dont have the fuel for it, or the subsequent technologies to convert energy to electricity at 80% or greater.
It takes more energy to contain the fusion reaction than it produces. The neutrons from the reaction also turn whatever physical container is used (magnetic forces are also necessary) into Swiss cheese.
That's a good question. I feel like there are probably endless layers of sub particles to discover beyond the atomic particles we already know about. We'll likely never really get to the bottom of it all before science ends along with our civilisation and of course ourselves.
There will be no need for science or books or mathematics in the future.
You should explore the idea some have that our ability to even harness nuclear fission is bunk or way harder than we are told. The entire thing could be another American Moon type yarn.
Take nukes, what makes me wonder about their existence is at the peak cold war there were supposedly ~60-80k warheads. I find it odd that with the amount of people and personalities involved never one vaporizing accident or rouge application. Sure there were near misses but never a news line with, whoops such and such city was destroyed today by accidental training gone wrong or a psycho pilot, etc.
Given most military’s carnage filled training records…I find the near flawless global handling of nukes a noodle scratcher.
I reckon they’d be hard to set off. But still seems odd with so many warheads handled by so many a single catastrophic explosion hasn’t occurred. Sure would set an amazing precedent as most human endeavors are rife with mishaps.
…Although maybe
that recent Tonga eruption was a old nuke sub getting its wires crossed? Lol
Art Berman appears to have lost the plot. He says Peak Oil is still way in the distance because no one accounted for Shale. It has saved us from catastrophe. He doesn't realize that Shale, Fracking, Tar Sands, Wind and Solar only exist because of debt. Take away the subsidies and all of that goes away. It just isn't the same and efficient as oil and that is getting harder to come by or we wouldn't even consider Shale, fracking, tar sands, wind or solar.
I have to confess that that tokamak looks really sexy. A device that could give you a jolt like nothing ever. Yes, dear, I realize that it is not meant to represent a sex organ but that is just how it appears, and what can one do about that. As for the Tritium, every nuclear weapon reportedly has to have its dose of Tritium topped up every 13 years to stay healthy and bangy. Imagine being the lad or lassie charged with that duty. Or if you're in a naughty mood you could always go sell some to the Iranians, who are pretending to build a nuclear weapon while they publicly deny all. What a world to be born into. No wonder the Visitors are repelled by humanity's antics, and want nothing to do with us (unless they do ... therein lies the great and frightening mystery).
On a related theme, we have to be very careful about the promise of the small nuclear reactors (SMR). Even Chris Martenson is joining the lemmings on this one.
What a fucking idiot that man is. Small nuclear reactors solve absolutely nothing, clearly. It is not in any way easier to build a bunch of small reactors than it is to build one big one. It's much harder and it's also much harder to manage them, fuel them (special fuel required) and connect them to grid infrastructure.
It's pretty much the same with Thorium. This is from a current Nuclear engineer.

Unfortunately I figure that you are correct. But we could make our cities more habitable by getting the cars out of them still.
We could make the planet a better place by getting rid of all humans
Yeah, heard that one before. And it's still current.

Why don't you lay it out then.
Don't you know? How do you think cities can continue to operate with no energy and no food? What do you think happens?
Where are these cities of yours? Gaza?
Your city. And mine. What are you doing here if you don't understand this? If you live until the collapse, you have three choices:
1) Death by starvation
2) Death from epidemic waterborne disease such as cholera or dysentery
3) Death by violence, probably hacked or beaten to death by raiders.
Any questions?
Thorium reactors are another crock of shit that every retard who watches Youtube thinks they have discovered and they are going to save us all.
There are some startup scammers called Copenhagen Atomics making bank from the rubes.
Take a look at these assholes. They will be mass manufacturing them in a few years, they promise. Power too cheap to meter.

Cosmic radiation is a killer...
Yes that's true too. Another reason there could never be a moon or Mars base.

Yes but the contraption was still able to land on the moon!!!!
https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/another-quick-reminder-that-this/
Facts do NOT matter (to the retards)
It did land but if it had stayed much longer moon dust would likely have rendered it non functional.
Airlocks obviously are possible in space.
Only to Torr -6. This covers up to about 600 km. After that, nothing works. The moon is Torr -12
I don't know what this 'torr' thing is about but airlocks work in space including on the moon before the dust erodes them. I remember someone crowing about how duct tape couldn't work in space, might have been you actually. I discovered they use a special space version.

A working fusion reactor that produces net positive energy is a scientific impossibility.

Its good we tried. Is there anything left to be discovered at this point? I know people are counting on AI for it, but... that feels wrong somehow.

Nuclear weapons aren't like high explosives. They aren't going to explode if you accidentally drop one.
I reckon they’d be hard to set off. But still seems odd with so many warheads handled by so many a single catastrophic explosion hasn’t occurred. Sure would set an amazing precedent as most human endeavors are rife with mishaps.

A nuclear bomb is like a firecracker compared to what the earth can do.
It's utter bullshit, indeed. It will never ever happen for so many reasons.

Peak diesel is what matters, Art seems to have forgotten about that. There's also peak high quality coal.

Tokamaks have existed since the 1970s when fusion power was just around the corner.

Indeed, lies and clown show.
Your analysis is spot on, often is, but your suggested solutions are not different than they are at the top end of town.
There are no solutions.
Come on, the elders will just round em up the old fashion way if it comes down to it.
