ReplyDelete@Redneck1Grammar Nuclear is not part of a "closed loop" model because it's end product is radioactive waste which is extremely dangerous to the health of the species on this planet. - We need to stop thinking about money and taking shortcuts. Things need to be done properly and follow the laws of nature. - Excellent video.

ReplyDeleteFascinating info here. Sad though that hundreds of thousands to millions of people watch the garbage that is on YouTube and so relatively few are seeing this. Share this with your peeps. Get the word out as far as you can.
ReplyDeletePLEASE, you lost me with use of Arabian Gulf, I love you ideas, but why do you destroy the name Persian Gulf?

ReplyDeleteEloquent, direct to the point, simple yet fool of wisdom, the guy is spectacular and thanks so much for mentioning my Country Bolivia with such a great connotation, because is humiliating and unfair that my Country is referenced only as fine cocaine producer, my Country is a normal one.
ReplyDeleteIf only our government had a closed loop model.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, best yet! Realize a reason this type of innovation is not explored is due to a global economic system based upon consumption driving profit margins. Corporate controlled government want to continue their hegemony via margin maximization and control over the economy and political control models are based upon tax revenues. If existing consumptive based models diminish due to innovative efficiency they would lose their hegemony. The failure to adopt is an economic command control issue.
ReplyDeleteloooooooovvve it
