Fortunately the sky rocketing costs of energy across the world are temporary - and primarily due to the war in Ukraine ... as soon as that ends prices will return to normal.

I was lectured about storing power in coiled springs or pumped hydro when I mentioned that we need a 1:1 replacement for oil and/or scalable battery storage technology to counter intermittent renewables. I said they need to solve fusion to continue growth at least more nuclear fission unless we want to experience blackouts and severe austerity. I mentioned the PJM grid warnings anout retiring on demand backup while adding renewables as well as moving beyond politics to focus on food and energy security. I got another lecture about taxing the rich to pay for energy innovation, infrastructure and to solve economic inequality.

The vast majority of people don't know this. Every day the TV news talks only about interest rates and the Federal Reserve and dollars as though they are the economy. Sure inflation is bad at the moment, but people think somehow it can be fixed with some sort of financial trickery.
In the end, money will simply be abandoned just as huge hoards of worthless coins were in the disintegrating late Roman empire.

Well as Richard Pryor once said, no one yet has been able to pass the Ultimate Test. And the ultimate test is whether you can survive death and no one has been able to pass the ultimate test.
The U.K. economy grew by 0.1% in the fourth quarter, beating expectations, according to a preliminary estimate from the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Thursday.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected the country’s GDP to contract by 0.1% over the period.
The services and construction sectors contributed to the better-than-expected performance in the economy, up 0.2% and 0.5% respectively, but production fell by 0.8%, the ONS said.
The British economy had recorded zero growth in the third quarter and lackluster monthly GDP data since then, with a 0.1% contraction in October and a 0.1% expansion in November. The ONS said on Thursday that growth had picked up in December, with an estimated 0.4% month-on-month expansion thanks to growth in services and production.
The British pound was up 0.4% against the dollar after the data release, and flat against the euro.
Sluggish growth and a recent drop in inflation prompted the Bank of England last week to make its first interest rate cut of the year, bringing its benchmark rate down to 4.5%.
The central bank signaled further rate trims were coming as inflationary pressures wane, but noted that higher global energy costs and regulated price changes are expected to push up headline inflation to 3.7% in the third quarter of 2025, “even as underlying domestic inflationary pressures are expected to wane further.” The BOE expected the inflation rate to fall back to its 2% target by 2027.
18th January 2025 – (Hong Kong) Following its removal from Hong Kong’s blue-chip index, New World Development (NWD) finds itself in a precarious position akin to that of a distressed seller trying to liquidate assets. Despite efforts to sell off prime holdings, the company continues to grapple with a substantial 27% drop in total assets, now standing at HK$445 billion. Furthermore, its formidable debt burden remains high at HK$220 billion, with additional risks posed by perpetual bonds that could potentially lead to a collapse of its financial structure.
The oil and gas would make the economy grow exponentially. The size of the economy and associated fossil fuel consumption would double roughly every 27 years at 3% growth. A few doublings and it would all be gone.
Can't even lead this horse to "water," much less let him drink.
But lots of people's eyes are going to open widely as they say, "Really? That means we're saved!"
BTW, any new "updates" on these manned missions to the moon? Seems these have faded into the background. Surprising, since the bloviator in Chief Trump would certainly have been bragging about them I would think. And with rocket man Musk at his side, how can we fail?
The same morons who insist there are free clean energy sources that are not deployed cuz Exxon... who scamper into a dark corner to suck their own dicks after I mention that if this was true - and we embarked on this path - then imagine how much more quickly we'd finish paving over the world.
Boeing has blown the SLS. Sounds like thats being wrapped up. Starship was never going to work for a moon mission. But we will probably see a few going up, and maybe getting to low Earth orbit yet.
Unfortunately, there is no way to keep the type of fuel we have for a moon mission in a usable form for long enough to get people to the moon and back. It all just fades away.
I wrote this a few months back. Not sure if I posted it anywhere...
Although it would be very nice to see humanity get to the planets while there is still the will to do it, we are very far away from reaching this goal. Keeping liquid fuels from gassing off will require technologies which simply do not exist.
Pressurized liquids will get warm quickly. In order to prevent heating, state change through gassing off a liquid, must be used to keep the remaining pressurized fuels as liquid. In the vacuum of space, there is no way to dissipate heat other than state change, throwing off expensive material, or infrared. Infrared radiation is inefficient.
Insulation is important, and aerogel and similar substances might benefit a solution, but the expense of it will be astronomical. Delicate substances will fail in the violence of >205 db lift off, and in the vacuum of space.
Because of vacuum and radiation concerns for propellant stored in deep space, propellant is gradually lost as it waits. In the vacuum of space anything operating without an atmosphere will cold weld. Problems are numerous. For example, rubber gaskets quickly breakdown. Machines with interlocking parts are needed to open and close valves. Compressors and cooling systems have many moving parts. Liquid lubricants will out gas quickly, and ball bearings will soon become warm. Non metal materials are as much of a challenge to work with as are metal materials.
This is why we are looking at a show stopper. If you listen to the Keynote address to NASA which was provided by the owner of the excellent Smarter Every Day channel:
... it will be clear that we need to send up an incredible number of fuel tankers, which by the time they get to a useful orbit, each will have only just a small fraction (~1/100th) left. For reasons explained within the video, fuel tanks must be distributed between the earth and moon (or Mars). Each second stage tanker will need to use most of its fuel to get to a higher parking orbit or precisely between the Earth and Moon. It becomes a complex supply line where fuel from several second stages will need to be transferred to just one stage in order to provide the propulsion to lift a tank of fuel to somewhere outsides Earth's gravity well.
The problem with parking is that, you need to be going the same speed as the primary spacecraft in order to catch and transfer fuel, using compressors. It either means more fuel to align speeds, of have an incredible and perfect ballet of impossibly complex systems all coalescing precisely as needed. Just a single badly timed solar flare would be like a bowling ball meeting pins.
The problem with bulky liquid fuel is that you can't do this months in advance because of the out gassing and gassing off requirements. Essentially, all rockets required for the mission would need to be launched within hours or days of each other. Where are all the launch pads to be able to do this? This fuel issue spoils all dreams of returning to the moon, let alone getting anything human bearing to Mars. The fuel would be long gone through out gassing.
There is no way, using any current technology, to maintain liquid atmosphere vessels, at a cool temperature in space and ferried to where it all needs to be. Hypergolic fuels might be necessary, but they are just as heavy, corrosive, toxic, and generally concerning. To date, even though this is currently the only means to get modern human supporting rockets to the moon, there have been no fuel transfers yet achieved in space. Cold welding, and other extreme vacuum effects nearly all materials.
We might as well be in the stone age attempting to imagine a telephone network. We just cannot get any of us from here to Mars.... yet... at least not in any realistic way.
If it was possible to survive the Belts and blast off into space and survive the cosmic radiation and space particles... and never return.... I would volunteer... just load up a thousand books onto my hard drive and tally ho.... last man standing cuz all the Earth bound fuckers gonna die soon....
I'd want some Fent just in case the boredom got to me.... oh ... and I need 200lbs of red smarties loaded on board... only red... and how about a 200lb sack of Bolivian... do I get a choice of any woman on the planet to come along? Nah... skip that ... it would get boring after awhile... and then she'd start nagging me 'when are we gonna go back - I miss tik tok'
They were going to send all the people from Gaza there until they found out about the oil & gas reserves, they just can't win.
Great Idea! Build a Rocket Bus and ship the fucker into space hahaha c'ya!
But they need to make sure that cnnbbc tells them they are pioneers... that we found a new Earth and they get to settle it...
Kinda like telling Jews that the ovens are cinemas ... hahahahaha
I like it, a rocket bus sponsored by Musk, Comalco alfoil & clubcar.
