The current call for immediate cessation of the use of Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil, has the logic viability of walking across Lake Baikal in the Summer. The well-being of nations’ citizens, especially in inclement weather, must be addressed first. We think that the “Not Always There” {NAT} Energy sources can be used by the “Greenies” as they deem fit. If such sources are not sufficient to keep them warm in the Winter or cool in the Summer, so be it. To these people we say: “The odds of operating a nation successfully, with NAT Energy, is at present, mere wishful thinking. It has the substance and endurance, large scale, of a hologram.
As a nation with strong leadership, such as China, utilizes Coal to maintain high commerce levels, it also seeks other technologies to fuse into its economic system; this takes time. It is what it is.
Another advancement in Oil and Natural Gas exploration is taking place in the Arctic as Russia both develops its Northern Transportation Corridor as well as new fields in the far northern Gydan Peninsula. Russian oil company Gazprom Neft is exploring the resources in this ‘tough’ climate. We expect that Russian scientists will develop technologies to clean the hydrocarbons so atmospheric contamination is minimized. The important fact to consider is that Natural Gas and Oil: Are of immediate use; readily available; provide high levels of energy; and are economical to citizens.
Another area of energy technology developed and proven by Russia are its ‘small’ nuclear reactors. Some are placed in their Ice Breakers, on barges, and can be placed in remote areas for consistent energy, safely provided. The Russian Leaders are to be congratulated, we think, because of their great success in ‘miniaturization’ of nuclear plants; phenomenal! Also, Russia’s minimal country debt allows it the resources to seek new technologies in other energy areas.
The Americans have unfortunately been saddled with a Selected President who, both he and his ‘Crew’ have little, if any, understanding of Energy. Just like the same political party’s leadership in the earlier presidency, that fellow, was adept at shutting down Energy Projects in favor of NAT Energy. Today, fuel for automobiles, heating oil, and the like are at record levels in America due to inept and mediocre ‘littership’ in the White House. The irate public, we assess will create a tsunami of discontent that will sweep the other political party into office.
The Americans penchants for having Attorney-Politicians run the country have put it into a financial bind of $30,790,945,000,000.00+ presently. Unfortunately, these ‘Barristers’ appear to have not taken classes in Economics prior to “Law School”. The unbelievable amount of American debt, ties the country’s hands as to new technologies for Energy development, it would appear. Now do these same Attorney-Politicians say: “Print More Money” [thereby devaluing the currency], we think so.
As we, in International Business, state: “There is NO Free Lunch. Leaders look ahead before you make ‘rash moves’. The solid soil you think you are standing on, may prove to be ‘quicksand’. Other, Wise Nations’ Leaders will laugh as you sink into the morass.” Energy development by Wise Leaders is two-part, minimally, Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil in conjunction with developing NAT Energies, to become more reliable in availability.
Reality: A Politician wearing a fancy suit, a beautiful silk-tie, with hair coiffed, might be hiding behind him, in his hand: a ‘Dunce’ Cap.
