	This podcast is about how the shift to green energy has been pushed by Western nations is really economic suicide.
	Now, it's not that green energy in and of itself is a bad thing, although there are far more problems than what you're being led to believe.
	The real problem is that green energy is unreliable, and it doesn't scale well, and it's extremely expensive to store it or to shift it.
	So, green energy, typically solar and also wind and some tidal wave energy and hydroelectric dam energy and so on.
	Most of the forms of green energy have production curves that do not coincide with the usage demand by the public.
	So, for example, Solar, right?
	Solar is being produced when the sun is out, but not when it's rainy.
	Well, do you still need electricity when it's cloudy and rainy?
	Yes, absolutely.
	And how about at night?
	Do you need electricity at night?
	Oh, yeah, it turns out you do, right?
	You still need water pressure, you still need to run electronic appliances, you know, dishwasher, what have you, the clothes dryer, all that.
	In fact, Especially during the summer when you have very high cooling costs, you want to run larger appliances in the evening, such as your cook stove if it's electric, and you have electric water heaters and clothes dryers and things like that.
	You want to run them in the evening when the sun is not out.
	So a similar thing happens with wind.
	Do you only need power when the wind is blowing?
	No, you need power all the time.
	You need power day and night, and the wind only blows at certain times and it's unpredictable.
	That's the problem.
	And sometimes then, it's both dark outside, i.e.
	night, and the wind isn't blowing at the same time.
	And then you have a crisis because all your green energy sources are now offline, or most of them.
	And then the only sources of energy you have are fossil fuels.
	You know, coal-fired power plants and natural gas energy, typically.
	Now, those are very scalable.
	Those, you can crank them up when you need more power.
	So, you know, the grid's drawing more juice.
	Well, you can just shovel more coal into the coal fire, basically.
	I mean, I'm simplifying it, but you get the idea.
	Or you can crank up more gas production into electricity.
	And to some extent, of course, nuclear power plants can also be scaled up or down, although it's a little bit of a slower response curve, but they can.
	So nuclear power doesn't rely on the weather, and nuclear power is a great choice.
	It's also really, in a way, a green energy because it does not release carbon.
	Although the whole war on carbon is a bunch of fakery and fraud to begin with, but for those who care about carbon, Nuclear should be something that you embrace.
	And yet, a lot of the environmentalists say they don't want nuclear, they want solar farms.
	Well, something happened this year in Texas that really gave pause to the whole solar farm question.
	And it was that hundreds of acres of solar farms in Texas got hit by massive hail.
	And hail, it turns out, shatters solar panels.
	Like, you know the game Rock, Paper, Scissors?
	There's also rock, paper, scissors, hail solar panel.
	And hail beats solar panel.
	It beats it to a pulp.
	It's kind of like rock beats solar panel.
	But hail beats solar panel for sure.
	Hail completely destroys them.
	There's really nothing salvageable.
	You can't just, you know, rescue it.
	So you have to strip out all the solar panels.
	You have to buy new ones, which requires a lot of dirty mining of, you know, rare earth minerals and so on.
	The mineral elements that go into solar are not themselves known to be very clean in terms of their sourcing.
	So you have to spend all this money again up front and you get nothing for that other than just bringing the solar farm back online.
	The cost is enormous.
	It's almost as expensive as installing the whole thing right up front in the first place, especially given that you have to rip out the old solar panels.
	And then you have landfill for that.
	You've got to figure out, where do we put all these old solar panels that are all smashed up and non-functional?
	Well, you have a lot of toxic metals in that, so now you're creating landfill.
	Whereas coal-fired power plants don't care about hail.
	Nuclear plants don't care about hail.
	You see?
	And what's funny is that the climate cultists are saying, well, the weather is going to get more extreme because of climate change.
	Well, that would mean more hail, wouldn't it?
	So then why do they say build more solar farms that are going to get destroyed by hail?
	Because they're not thinking.
	You need a source of energy that doesn't require the sun to shine, doesn't require the wind to blow, and doesn't get destroyed by hail.
	And what are those sources of energy?
	Well, nuclear, coal, natural gas.
	And, of course, hydroelectric dams as well.
	But there are only so many places that you can dam up rivers and generate electricity.
	Now, the biggest limiting factor in all of this is the lack of cost-effective battery storage and scalable battery storage.
	So if you could store, let's say, solar energy or wind-produced energy...
	If you could store it for, let's just say, free, frictionless storing, then you could overbuild, you know, the wind farms and they could generate power and it could be stored in these free batteries.
	And then when the wind isn't blowing, you could draw down the energy from the batteries.
	So the batteries would help buffer out the energy production and consumption curves.
	And in the energy industry, this is called time-shifting energy.
	Same thing with solar panels, right?
	So they only produce energy when the sun is shining.
	You want to put it into batteries and time shift that energy so that you can have access to it at night long after the sun has gone down and the solar panels are not producing energy.
	So time shifting of renewable energy is itself a massive industry.
	And I've looked at all the solutions that are out there.
	Lithium-ion is not very affordable and scalable.
	There are things called vanadium redox batteries or liquid batteries that are very scalable.
	They take up a lot of space, but they're quite expensive and a lot of the technology is not mature yet.
	There's iron redox flow batteries, as they're called, that replaces vanadium with iron.
	And that's better in many ways.
	It runs off iron and essentially salt water.
	So it's safe if there's a spill.
	But it's still very expensive to set up.
	It's expensive to run.
	And the technology is not very mature.
	So if you were to put one of these next to a solar field, you would have massive 40-foot containers filled with these giant vats of flow materials, which are the anodes and the cathodes of the battery, in essence, sort of like iron in solution, and it's running through these pumps, and you have to have all these cooling fans and everything, and it's complicated.
	And it's not that well proven yet, although there are some electrical utilities that are installing this right now, but we haven't seen this running for, you know, 10, 20 years anyplace, whereas coal-fired power plants have been operating for, you know, 100 years.
	I mean, not the same plant, but I mean the idea of coal plants.
	And nuclear power plants have been operating for more than 50 years, right?
	So, the jury's still out on these flow batteries.
	Now, some companies, such as Lockheed Martin and I think Raytheon also, are working on micro-scale nuclear power plants.
	And one of them fits in basically like a vehicle garage bay.
	And you have a micro-fission reactor.
	It produces current, steady.
	I forgot the exact amounts that they produce, but let's say it's like 5 kilowatts steady, okay?
	Which is, you know, more than what a typical household would need.
	So 5 kilowatts, and then it lasts, what do they say, like 6 years or something, and then they come in and they replace the fuel.
	So you get 6 years of fuel out of this little micronuclear power system.
	That sounds pretty cool.
	Except I don't know what the cost is and I don't know what the requirements are because, of course, there may be severe controls on, you know, who can get nuclear material.
	What happens if terrorists come in and try to steal the whole unit and they take the nuclear fuel rods?
	Can they modify that?
	Can they turn that into a dirty bomb or enriched uranium?
	I don't know the answer to all that.
	But it's probably not practical to be installing Nuclear power plants in everybody's garage.
	And then the other form of abundant available energy today is cold fusion, or low energy nuclear reactions.
	Lener, as it's called.
	And cold fusion is real.
	But cold fusion generates heat.
	Not current, not directly.
	It generates heat, excess heat.
	It turns mass into heat, and so it heats water.
	And in order to turn that heat into something useful, well, you can either just use it as heat and just circulate the hot water into radiators or whatever, and you can heat buildings.
	So that's the most obvious use of cold fusion.
	But if you could also use the heat to boil water, And turn the water into steam and have the steam drive turbines, obviously.
	And then you can turn a crankshaft and turn copper coils and you can generate alternating current.
	So that's how you would turn heat into electricity, which is the way coal-fired power plants work, and that's how nuclear power plants work as well.
	They're basically boiling water and turning it into steam.
	And that's why what you see coming out of the top of the nuclear power plants It's just steam.
	It's not like radiation pollution or anything like that.
	It's mostly just steam.
	A lot of people don't know that.
	They're like, oh my god, it's polluting.
	It's polluting steam.
	Who cares?
	It's like clouds.
	But the problem with cold fusion is that, of course, it's been suppressed.
	So it was demonstrated in 1989 at the University of Utah, Salt Lake, by Fleischmann and Pons.
	But, of course, the conventional media and the conventional science industry attacked it and said, oh, this isn't real, this isn't happening.
	So they gaslit the whole nation and said, there's no such thing as cold fusion, and they buried it.
	And that was designed to protect the grant money going into hot fusion projects and all the salaries of all the scientists that are working on hot fusion who have made essentially no breakthroughs for decades.
	They keep promising, oh, we're going to have hot fusion in five years.
	And then five years later, they're like, we need more billions of dollars.
	It's kind of like the Zelensky of science.
	Every few months they show up begging for billions of dollars, but they never produce anything.
	So hot fusions, so far it's a pipe dream.
	Maybe they'll figure it out one day, but even if they do, what does that give you?
	Centralized control over electricity with the transmission distribution lines and the meters on your home so they can control your power, they can cut it off.
	So hot fusion is not freedom-oriented energy because it's centralized.
	Whereas cold fusion, small scale, even tabletop, it can be decentralized.
	You can have a cold fusion unit With every home, generating enough electricity to power the home.
	Now, interestingly, if you could combine cold fusion home generators with a cost-effective iron redox flow battery system, then what you would have is the ability to even out the supply and demand curves in your own home.
	So you could slowly generate excess electricity all night long, you know, extra kilowatt hours, and you can put them in the redox flow batteries.
	And then when you wake up in the morning and you're going to be using a lot more electricity for air conditioning, let's say, then you could tap into the stored battery as your cold fusion machine is also generating, let's say, one kilowatt, which would make it relatively small, very affordable to use.
	If you just generate one kilowatt steady throughout the day, for most homes, that's enough.
	As long as you have some storage system, because there may be times where you're using, you know, two or three kilowatts at the same time, but you're not doing that always.
	You're just doing it intermittently.
	You know, you have your stove on, your microwave, your clothes dryer, and your hair dryer.
	But that's not going to happen all at once all day long.
	It's just, you know, in a few times.
	So I believe that the future of decentralized power We'll combine cold fusion energy.
	And this will be very green, too, because cold fusion doesn't emit anything.
	It's cold fusion energy that heats water, drives a turbine, turns copper coils, generates AC energy.
	There's an inverter that turns it into DC. It gets charged into the redox flow batteries that will have to have an order of magnitude improvement in cost efficiency.
	And then you'll have, of course, a charge controller and you'll have another inverter to pull the DC out of that, turn it back into AC to power your home.
	And that'll be a setup that will probably be available for homes for less than $20,000, maybe a little bit more.
	But the point is you never have to buy electricity again.
	So then there will be finance companies that come along and they will sell you this system and they'll make it equal or less than your current monthly payment.
	So you're just paying off the loan, but they provide the capital to install the system.
	So this is coming.
