Older Russian Buildings and Homes are Energy Wastrels

News Analysis:  Older Russian Buildings And Homes Are Energy Wastrels which consume up to Double the Energy of their European Counterparts. Relying over the last 30 years on World War II Type fiberglass products, which are more Cosmetic than Functional, unfortunately, vast Energy Losses are common.

The Severe Russian Weather’s Effects can be greatly reduced by installing Mega-Temp™ Insulation in New Buildings and Residential Complexes. Having been used in Russian Mining Trucks for years, Mega-Temp™ Insulation performs in Weather Extremes. The Frigid Temperatures of Oymyakon, Siberia, for example,  which have reached -71.2 C ‘-96.2 F’ are not too cold for Mega-Temp™ Insulation. It does not freeze in Liquid Nitrogen ‘LN2’ at −195.8 C  ‘-320.4 F’. Merely Spray On three very light layers of this product dries to an operational thinness of one millimeter ‘.03937″‘.

The Speed of Installation of this Technology is remarkable. For example, as an illustration from another Applicable Industry, a Boeing 747 could be Insulated in ONE DAY. Another interesting aspect is the blowing wind will not damage Mega-Temp™ Insulation where fiberglass batting would be devastated.

The Billions of dollars spent in Russia Yearly, to keep the people warm, could be greatly reduced by using the Mega-Temp™ Insulation Technology through out its  16,377,742 km2 ‘6,323,482 mi2‘ of territory. The Desired Development of the Russian Far East in particular needs the proven Mega-Temp™ Insulation Technology for the Comfort and Safety of its residents. Reality.

Finland Building at Eight Billion+ Euros?

News Analysis:  Finland Building at Eight Billion+ Euros is currently being forecast by some people in Helsinki. Their contention is that a more-than-doubling of Estimated Construction Costs is primarily a result of delays in building. The date of Contract signing was  in 2002.  A purported Cost Estimate for Construction was initially 3.2 Billion Euros.

One might consider that since 2008 Global Financial Debacle, there has been a World-Wide Reduction in Nuclear Power Plant Construction ‘NPCC’. Additionally, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster in Japan on 11 March, 2011 further impeded ‘NPCC’.  As such,  allocating an additional Five Billion Euros, as an Estimated Increase in Construction Costs predominately due to a time delay, some would suggest is quite Problematic. 

One can assume the current Dearth of ‘NPCC’ makes such an Estimated Cost-To-Complete Increase, in this matter, Suspect for some Citizens of Finland. If the Eight Billion+ Euro Costs is correct it will be the World’s Most Expensive Building.

Trust, But Verify.

China Estimated with 36.8 Trillion Cubic Meters of Shale Gas

News Analysis: China Estimated With 36.8 Trillion Cubic Meters Of Shale Gas will help defuse soaring Gas Energy Costs, due to Demand, by Increasing Supply. It is estimated by some, to have the World’s Largest Deposits of Shale Gas. As China increases its  Prowess in ‘Fracking” Technology, more gas will be produced through this means.

Some people say: As more Energy Resources are discovered Everywhere in the World, perhaps its Citizens will realize that Petrochemical Formation is a “Natural Earth Process Occurring Over the Millennia”.

Often opined is: The “Scarcity of Supply” Mantra ‘Only benefits those who sell Petrochemical Products to Anxious Customers who believe such Drivel’. Commodity Traders sometimes make more money per barrel than those who actually produced the oil by drilling. Fantasies like ‘$200.00 a barrel” for oil are told to airlines, to sell more “lightweight” aircraft. A future with “$15.00 a Gallon ‘US’ gasoline” which was touted to the public to help sell  smaller cars with four and six cylinder engines, never materialized.

The Morality of the Marketing to the Masses is not very high. Reality.

National Security Agency ‘NSA’ Nets Data from “Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere”

News Analysis:  National Security Agency ‘NSA’  Nets Data From “Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere” ‘AAA’; it being its Operational Credo.  ‘AAA’ is allegedly revealed in ‘NSA’s’ Own Documents reports attest. Politicians who aver to other World Leaders that such Machinations have ceased, or will do so, are hiding the truth, some say. The NSA had destroyed the World’s Privacy long ago. 

The Power ‘NSA’ has attained WILL NOT be relinquished to satisfy some ‘Four or Six Year Term Washington Handshakers’. The Power was LEGALLY GIVEN to the ‘NSA’ by The U.S. Congress and the President. The ‘NSA’  has morphed into an “Above The Law” Entity. The ” Givers” are now Effete and can merely complain loudly to their Constituencies. Reality.

Netherlands Notes National Security Agency’s 50,000 Networks ‘Nosing’

News Analysis: Netherlands Notes National Security Agency’s 50,000 Computer Networks ‘Nosing’ Internationally for Data on 7.141 Billion People so it can “Find A Few Terrorists”. NSA admittedly “Created a Haystack so it could look for any Needles therein”. This ‘Tu Quoque’ Logic is the Foundation of a Global Privacy Invasion. This behavior is of the Greatest Scale in the History of Mankind.

It is illogical to presume that the NSA will cease Any of its  Electronic Eavesdropping now or in the future. The NSA’s Enormous Budget and Institutionalization give it the Power to Continue both Unabashed and Unabated. It will merely Feign Stoppage in monitoring of particular “Subjects”. To the Chagrin of the World’s People, presently, It is ‘Above the Law’. Reality.

Russian Aircraft are to be Russian Sourced

News Analysis: Russian Aircraft Are To Be Russian Sourced per President Vladimir Putin. His Appropriate Decision will mean Long-Term Benefit to the Russian Aircraft Industry. In Russia: Aircraft Design and Engineering Capabilities are present; Fabrication Equipment exists; Metal Resources are prodigious;  Personnel are available. Now, an important element of the ‘Aircraft Fabrication Industry’ has been provided: Presidential Direction.

The Purchasing of Aircraft Componentry made by others is a ‘Short-Term Solution’ which does NOT provide a Nation with ‘Long-Term Benefits’. By manufacturing most Componentry in Russia, employees of this industry gain necessary experience. Better quality aircraft can be manufactured at Lesser Costs in a Russia than that of Out-Sourced Supplied Aircraft. Non-Duplicatable Systems should be Out-Sourced, as, once in a while, might also be Aerospace Consultancy, if appropriate.

Antonov, Beriev, Ilyushin, Mikoyan, Sukhoi, Tupolev, Yakovlev, and other Russians have preceded Today’s Russians. The Men and Women of present Russia have the excellent histories of these Aircraft Predecessors to emulate.

Falkland Islands Fish Farming Facility Flourishes

News Analysis: Falklands Islands Fish Farming ‘FIFF’ Flourishes For Entrepreneur. Subsequent to years of experience, this Gentleman assumed the Investment Risk of establishing a Fish Farming Facility and will soon prosper.

‘FIFF’  should be an inspiration to others to examine Aquaculture as an Investment Medium. There is no reason Nations with Oceans, Seas, or Lakes cannot replicate such an Industry. Investors merely have to look at a Globe and identify locations which might meet their criteria geographically. Once Due Diligence is performed, as to Marine Elements ‘Piscatology’ of this Industry, they may make an Intelligent Decision to invest in Aquaculture. It will provide the world’s population with the Nutrition. Aquaculture can only Prosper a Businessman or Businesswoman since World Demand is much greater than Supply of its Products. Reality.

★ Too Much Aerospace Technology May Create Aircraft Scatology

Premium News Analysis:  Too Much Aerospace Technology May Create Aircraft Scatology more people are thinking. Soon Airline Boards will have to admit that their Engineering Departments did not properly advise their Managements as to foreseeable flaws in New Airframe Design and Manufacture. The Boards themselves used very poor judgement in leaping on the Airframes’ ‘New Sell”: “Lighter Weight Cannot Wait” ‘LWCW’. Thus, ‘LWCW’ became the ‘Holy Grail’ in Aircraft Design.

Some Airframes took a ‘Greater Plunge” into ‘LWCW’ than others. Those who went “All In” are now suffering Aircraft Event by Aircraft Event. How did they go “All In” regarding Aircraft Weight ? Electronic Systems  replaced Hydraulic and/or Pneumatic Technologies in order to save weight; Carbon/Carbon Composites replaced Metals in Structure and Fuselage Exteriors; Four Engines were replaced by Two; Engines Components were designed to be lighter ‘not necessarily stronger’; Passenger seats were made Narrower and Thinner; Even, Blankets given out to Cold Passengers are not readily available; and so it goes. Does the Technology aforementioned make an aircraft better or does it make it more  ‘Scatologic’? Only time will tell.

Aircraft Fuel Consumption became the Cause Celebre of the Airline Boards. Airlines were told “Oil is going to $200.00 a Barrel”; it did not. The Changes made helped produce the present Conundrum of the Airframes: Aircraft Reliability is now being questioned; Justly so. Recurring Down-times support the Public’s Growing Concern.

The ‘LWCW’ had the intended effect desire by Retiring Airframe Executives: It elevated the prices of their Companies’ Stocks; the ‘LWCW’ was marketed to airlines. When the airlines ‘Took The Bait”, Airframe Executives  Self-Concern was Financially Rewarded. Some people say, this ideology moved the Aircraft world into its present condition. While others support the ‘LWCW’ principle by arguing that Military Aircraft have had similar technologies, they forget something important in Engineering. To wit, “Increases of Unit Scale May Bring Decreases in Unit Efficiency”. That which works for a physical smaller Fighter Plane exhibits different: Acceptable Research, Development, and  Production Costs, Expend-ability, Operational Parameters, Longevity, and other norms from large Commercial Aircraft. Governments pay for Military Aircraft while ‘Individuals’ pay for Commercial Air Planes.

An Apple is not an Orange; But Both are Fruit.
