At last the sad truth start to reach mainstream media.

It is a civil war, a reciprocal bath of blood and hate, sectarian,
desperate, where each side know he will be exterminated like cockroach if
he lose.

the only solution of foreign invasion by regional forces and separation of
the communities until they stop hating each others... looks like Yugoslavia

From nearly 1000 miles away, it's hard to believe that level of detail
could be observed.  Aliens make for a more interesting story, but my bet
is that a volume of plasma developed around the missile to offset charge
stripped from the missile skin. Maybe bored aliens become mischievous?

In the long march of human affairs, gradualism and evolution have been
consistently shown to be the best strategy for orderly and prudent change.


The systems that have developed over the centuries cannot be overturned in
a shocking overnight revolution of disruption. That disruptive strategy
will lead to far more harm to the preservation of the common good and the
domestic tranquilly than chaotic replacement of existing critical
infrastructure.


The oil fields, refineries, and gas stations must remain open for years and
decades to fill the gas tanks of our current fleet of road transport. The
electric grid must remain supported for years through the bills faithfully
paid to the electric utilities by faithful rate payers.


The gas and oil pipelines should be gradually and slowly phased out as
demand for the products that they carry slowly decrease.


LENR must be presented to corporate leaders worldwide as an innovation and
technological advancement capable of providing increased margins rather
than a threat to their current interests.


Disorganized and chaotic revolution serves the interests, welfare and
prospects of no one, so great care and leadership must be taken to evolve
society and our energy infrastructure in a well-designed, thoughtful, and
decade’s long transitional process.

I'm not sure that moderation is the best way, but even if so, I think it is
impossible to control the spread of LENR.

LENR, once proven, even without retro-engineering, will be too easy to copy.
If Defkalion and rossi protect their IP, team lik Defkalion in Africa,
China, Asia, Brasil, will create clone...
some mafia will create clone and some informal citizen networks will
develop copies...

it will be uncontrollable.
If a neigbour propose me a Defkalion CHP clone for 5-10k$ I may discuss,
but a small business in Africa will not discuss, to save the awful price of
energy.

then the incumbent will have to increase prices because they are losing
clients, and finally they will push competitors... they will die in less
than 10 years, whatever the government or the corps decide.

At short term it may be reassuring to pretend it will be slow, you are
right.
but it will be a lie.

LENR is not like nuclear energy, or even oil digging... it is small-sized,
not hightech... it can be sold to individual at acceptable price...

If you forbid it it will be like US alcohol prohibition...

Oh yes they can. Automobiles wiped out the horse-and-buggy trade in 22
years, between 1908 and 1930. In 1908 the buggy business was still growing
by leaps and bounds. By 1930 it was moribund.

Airplanes wiped out the North Atlantic ocean liner business between 1945
and 1955.

Microcomputers took away nearly all mainframe and minicomputer business
between 1985 and 1990. By 1990, IBM had gone from being the most powerful
and profitable computer company to the brink of bankruptcy. It lost more
money than any American corporation in history.

The big chain bookstores crushed small bookstores in the 1990s. Ten years
later, Amazon put them out of business. Meanwhile, Google is making more
money than all newspapers *combined*. It has usurped the advertising
business. That is why Bezos bought the Washington Post for $250 million. It
was worth billions a decade ago. The Boston Globe sold for $70 million,
down from $1.1 billion in 1993. Newsweek magazine sold for $1 (one dollar
-- no kidding).

In commerce, there are no rules.

That disruptive strategy will lead to far more harm to the preservation of
 the common good and the domestic tranquilly than chaotic replacement of
 existing critical infrastructure.

This has never been a problem. No one cares what happened to the ocean
liner docks in New York City after 1955. They rotted away. No one noticed.
Infrastructure often goes from being critical to being abandoned in a few
years.



 The oil fields, refineries, and gas stations must remain open for years
 and decades to fill the gas tanks of our current fleet of road transport.

Probably not. Automobiles only last about 9 years on average. Gas stations
are always on the edge of bankruptcy. When they lose 10% of their revenue,
they will go bankrupt in droves. People with gasoline cars will have no
place to refuel them. They will be forced to trade in and buy cold fusion
powered cars sooner than they planned. This kind of transition speeds up in
the last stages. You would have seen how that works if you had tried to get
a minicomputer repaired in 1990.

Vladimir Putin today seemed to attribute the horrendous recent events in
Eastern Ghouta to the Syrian rebels and, with that in mind, the following
Youtube video from last year, apparently showing Syrian Jihadists  testing
self-produced chemical weapons on rabbits, is relevant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-6O-gApVrU

 

Some of the ingredients appear routine, others I can't readily identify, and
most originate from Tekkim, a Turkish company. Perhaps a competent chemist
on this group can make an assessment as to what sort of substance might have
been used here?

[Vo]:We abandon vast amounts of infrastructure, buildings, and so on

2013-09-06 Thread Jed Rothwell
I have often read the argument that we cannot afford to abandon our oil
production facilities, or we cannot afford to replace all automobiles. This
is wrong because we do abandon and replace all oil refinery equipment over
time, probably 20 or 30 years. We replace nearly every car on the road in
about 9 to 12 years (depending on the economy).

We also abandon hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure,
buildings, houses and so on before it wears out and has to replaced.

Here are some photos of Detroit, MI.:

http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2011/jan/02/photography-detroit

They show billions of dollars worth of buildings and infrastructure that
have been abruptly abandoned. Libraries with thousands of books, schools,
hospitals . . . all rotting away. It has all gone to waste.

In any rural district in Japan you will find depopulated areas with
abandoned roads, collapsed houses, abandoned factories and schools.
Billions and billions of dollars worth of stuff.

No one claims that we cannot afford to abandon Detroit. On the contrary, we
cannot afford to maintain it, because fewer people want to live there.

When cold fusion replaces a third of gasoline powered cars, the others will
soon be abandoned the same way Detroit has been. Yes, it will be a waste of
still-useful equipment, but that is what always happens when technology
changes. Not only can we afford it, it is actually cheaper than trying to
maintain obsolete equipment. If it was not cheaper to abandon obsolete but
still serviceable machines, we wouldn't abandon them. We would still be
cranking up 1980s IBM mainframes and DEC minicomputers. I am pretty sure
most of them would still work if they existed intact. (Most have been
recycled.)
