Hughes Skunk Works (posthumously named after Howard Hughes Jr) is similar to Lockheed Skunk Works, only so secret I wasn't aware it existed or I'd helped found it until 30 years after I left McDonnell Douglas. It never officially existed and is now part of Boeing Phantom Works.
On one occasion our work shamed Lockheed so badly, that the US defense department accused us of falsifying the entire project results because they were physically impossible. The VP of LSW came, saw the device covered in dirt from a mission and wrote "it does what they say it does."
Part of my training was national defense, crisis response which combined with my liberal social justice upbringing allowed me to write the 21st Century Civil Resistance Manual. Another part was preventing Catastrophic Cascade Failures darkskyinnovation.com/articles/cli... or "tipping points."
I refuse to water to down the danger we all face from #climate collapse by using the euphemism "tipping point," and use more correct terms such as singularity, bifurcation and Catastrophic Cascade Failure. Cascade failures cause history's greatest disasters from the Titanic to the Hindenburg.
But even the reporters and editors at the Guardian have been misled by "ignore the man behind the curtain" because EVERY ONE of these articles is focused on raising the alarm that the threat is real while not investigating - IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND OUR SOLUTIONS VALID? It is NOT.
For specific, legalistic clarity to avoid misinterpretation I am focusing solely on sustainable energy GENERATION, not conservation. Conservation works, but no amount of REDUCTION can ELIMINATE fossil fuels. Our existing wind, solar tech et. al. do work, but are INADEQUATE to stop the extinction.
This may be total coincidence, but even as I'm writing this, I have to keep changing VPNs to access our own articles to get the URLs. This has been going on here for the past three weeks and I have to change VPNs every hour or so.
This article walks you through the math of how Maxwell Sr's corrupted scientific publishing industry misleads you with energy pricing. It shows that your 3.5 mW solar panel system is really 3.5 mW HOURS / YEAR and only 400 watts!! 10% of a gas generator. darkskyinnovation.com/articles/one...
It seems, despite the entire fossil fuel industry's efforts to prevent it, our team found the first, hopefully of many, solution that can put fossil fuels out of business on PRICE and reverse #climate change in our lifetimes. Since they learned of us they are PANICKING!! But we're still here!
This is an artist's concept of an ocean going, atmospheric CO2 extraction system, scalable to 2GW, using eSAF tech to produce unlimited, synthetic version of current fuels at less than 50% of current cost to the consumer - with global ocean volume for supply. youtu.be/AL2BIEEXIYw
The only thing about the #climate crisis which is actually valid is, it's going to kill every man, woman, child, pet and animal on earth at some time in the next 100 or so years, if we do not take effective measures to prevent it.
Fossil fuel panic only proves the point: nuclear is the one replacement that lasts for decades and keeps grids stable.
Yes, generation, not conservation, is the issue. Nuclear gives the clean baseload that makes renewables reliable instead of fragile.
Sustainable means lasting many human lifetimes. We use a target of 500 years. True sustainability would need to be measured in millennia. Nuclear done properly is clean. Anything involving mining and extraction can never renewable. I assume you represent Russian uranium mining?
Can you please post your timeline to hit 50% conversion of total world energy consumption to nuclear? Please post your plans for how Indonesia, Nigeria and Philippines can convert 50% of their total consumption to nuclear and how fast? FYI, they are the 5th, 6th and 13th largest by population.
Please also include the number of new uranium mining leases required to provide the fissionable materials, along with the environmental remediation cost to restore the mining sites. Show us all that and your plan is FANTASTIC! Nuclear is the best solution for some locales, but not global.
Is this it? Thank you for mentioning. I will repost. darkskyinnovation.com/articles/civ...
