US Corporations Are Now Talking About Fukushima and the Death of the Pacific

stock here, see near bottom, this publicily held US corporation goes on record as stating that Fukushima killing the Pacific is part of their business strategy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MT. PLEASANT, UT–(Marketwired – May 19, 2016) –  Green PolkaDot Box (OTC PINK: GPDB) (or “the Company”) announced today the execution of Purchase Agreement for Day Boat Seafood LLC. Day Boat is a Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified fishery and PRIMARY PRODUCER of wild caught seafood in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, specializing in swordfish. Additional boats harvest yellowfin tuna, big eye tuna, mahi-mahi, snapper, grouper, golden tilefish, pompano, mackerel, golden crabs, shrimp, stone crabs, and lobster.

Day Boat profitably operates 14 “long line” vessels and manages six more, providing a year-round supply of millions of pounds of fresh wild caught seafood to customers such as, Gorton’s Seafood, Fulton Market (NY), Whole Foods Markets Global, Wegmans, Seattle Fish, Wakefern Grocery, and other national grocery stores chains through its network of wholesale distributors.
The Day Boat acquisition is the first of many contemplated by GPDB in essential CLEAN food production and processing categories; the first step in the Company’s plan to become vertically integrated in sourcing and processing of CLEAN foods.

“The anticipated purchase of Day Boat will give our Company several competitive advantages,” says GPDB CEO Rod Smith. “First, it gives us the ability to control our supply, to source millions of pounds of wild caught seafood in the most popular varieties. Second, direct sourcing will allow for improved margins on sales. Third, and most importantly, our online Health Merchants™ and the 45 million consumers they serve will enjoy the highest quality se

afood at special value pricing, including free home delivery anywhere in the continental U.S.”

Controlling the supply of seafood for millions of potential GPDB customers is a strategic necessity, afforded only through vertical integration. The average adult over 45 years old and living in the United States consumes seafood 3-4 times, monthly. Yet, because of the nuclear disasters in Japan and radioactive contamination spreading through the Pacific Ocean, vast species of fish and plant life are being adversely affected and are undesirable for human consumption. The best quality, wild caught seafood from the Atlantic and Caribbean is part of a well-managed sustainable but limited supply. This acquisition by GPDB is a critical move to ensure consistent access to popular high quality, sustainable-sourced seafood at the very best value for its customers.

Canada will allow GMO Salmon and NOT require any labelling
http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/1019586/Aquabounty-Wins-Approval-to-Sell-GMO-salmon-in-Canada

Health Canada said they would not require any labeling on GMO salmon.

Ruth Salmon, the executive director of the Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance, said because labelling is not required, consumers who oppose the genetically modified fish won't know what they are buying.

"It's a concern about confusing the consumer, for sure, because I think labelling allows that kind of clarity. So we'll look at other ways of trying to create that consumer information because that's important to us. ”

 

A Bubble In "BIG PHARMA" Detected Via Magazines

Around 2005 I was building houses and office buildings.    So I was receiving some Trade Magazines.   Then out of the blue, comes to my door, without asking for it, a magazine
called "Housing Giants".    

Just the arrogance of a group calling itself "Giants" was astounding.   But it alerted me to a very important fact.     This type of unsolicited advertising by an industry group, trying to increase their circulation numbers reported to advertisers by sending it to people who didn't ask, was the sign of an overheated, bubbly market.   Indeed it was.

I decided to sell a rental house that I owned, and that worked out very nicely on the timing.   I also decided to switch my business to 95% solar thermal and solar PV, which worked out very nicely.

Although I still do 2 to 3 months of work per year, I considered myself retired at the age of 49 three years ago.    The work I do now provides enough revenue that I do not need to touch retirement savings, which seems like a smart move, given the sheer number of black swans still circling the earth.

So some very good things came out of the simple perception of what a magazine really meant.

Now I have some hope that the magazine shown below is a foreboding for a bursting of the bubble that we call "Big Pharma".    Just recently the arrogant and narcissistic hedge fund manager who jacked up the price of critical medicines by 10s or hundreds of times their prior cost, being called into question, and sneering at the government officials, well....that about says it all.

Let's hope this bubble bursts, and hope that prices are brought down to earth, and that risky drugs are not brought to market.

Big Pharma is a sign of the times, it goes hand in hand with Financial Parasites that are killing the host.

LOL then after writing this, the next day NYT writes an article on a drop in opiod use.

Earthquake/Volcano Alert Plays Out, Huge Earthquake in Australia, Massive Eruptions in Central America

A few days ago, I issued an Earthquake / Volcano Alert, primarily due to intense activity on the Atlantic ridge and an overall quiet period.      It didn't play out where I expected, but it sure did play out:

1) 3rd biggest earthquake in 100 years in middle Australia
2) Volcanos popping off like champagne in Central America
3) Large EQs in Ecuador (h/t flying cuttlefish) https://flyingcuttlefish.wordpress.com/2016/05/20/volcanoes/

The European Union Pushes Hard For More Nuclear Power Plants All Over Europe, Germany Dissents

The "European Union" is an interesting construct.   The basic theory is that the primary purpose of the "Union" is to allow centralized control to the real powers that be, those who are pushing for a New World Order.    Basically it's the super rich, the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Bilderberg types.

Many of these types are sociopaths, which is a whole topic onto itself, of which I have several articles on the blog.    These are some of the most dangerous people on the planet.    Bottom line, they have no conscience, and power and manipulation over other people are very important to them.   Sociopaths will take unnecessary risks that are way out of proportion to the possible gain, especially when the risks can be primarily foisted onto other people.

Which brings us to our point.    Nuclear energy has so clearly failed at every level, but in a sales pitch it still looks like "a free lunch" to those driven by greed and power.

There are a few categories of people who are still motivated for nuclear, still fooled by nuclear power, to name a few:

1) The stupid who think they are smart (say readers of Popular Science, ruh roh, I used to be one)
2) The uninformed
3) The "true believers", perhaps smart people, Blinded By Science.
4) Profiteers of the Nuclear Industrial Complex /Cartel

The failures and dangers of nuclear are so obvious, so clear-cut, that rather than belabor them here, I simply refer you to this entire blog ---Nukepro

So, per the below, clearly the EU is not driven by altruistic motives in pushing for nuclear.   Europe is the worst place in the world for nuclear, nuclear disposal, and a nuclear reactor.   Not that there is a good place for any of that, just that is it the height on insanity to load Europe with nuclear.    

http://www.dw.com/en/european-union-to-publish-strategy-paper-on-nuclear-energy/a-19262144

Citing a strategy paper from the EU on Tuesday, "Spiegel Online" reported that the European Union plans to defend its technological dominance in the nuclear sector.

According to the document, the European Union's 28 member states should strengthen cooperation on researching, developing, financing and constructing innovative reactors.

The paper is reportedly the basis for the European Commission's future nuclear policy and is expected to be passed by the European commissioner for energy union on Wednesday. The report would then be presented to the European Parliament.

National ACademies of "$cience" is Now Promoting the Idea that GMO and GE Foods "Can't Be Proven To Be Bad For You"

This is a draft article, too busy finsihing my own totally non GMO, non GE, organic garden.  

-------------------------------------------
Hit the gym this morning for a good workout. I reflected that even at this pretty well healed gym, I saw only 1 or 2 people out of say 400 that I would consider "thin" or even "normal weight, in shape".

And they were trying hard, lots of cardio, weight training.

Its the food people. What else could it be? They are trying hard and still not even 1% can achieve "being in shape".

Its the food.

Then, after planting a heirloom crop of all non GMO products into the greenhouse and planning the direct plant for later today…..

I saw theNational Academies Press saying that GMO /GE crops are "pretty much OK". They also claim that they back up their assertions with DATA.

THEY DO NOT back up their assertions with data, nor with links to the referenced studies. They use weasel words to an amazing degree. They take pot shots at "natural methods".

They express concern and dismay that food testing is hard because it is complicated to increase the potential bad stuff in the food, to get quicker test results…and instead, OH MY GOD, they sometimes have to resort to feeding the actual GMO / Roundup treated food to the animal. The absurdity of it all!

Then they complain, that these "whole food" tests are kind of a joke, because you can't be sure who is funding them, and because we don't know how long of a test is good enough (90 days is a long test in their book)that we just maybe should use that type of "whole food testing"

Read it and weep
http://www.nap.edu/read/23395/chapter/2


 
I'll comment more as time allows.   For now I recommend you skim through it yourself.   Its looks like a massive sellout by the scientists who were given our public trust....BUT, and this is different, with so many obvious weasel words used in the report, that it would be hard to sue or convict any particular participant or group.  

As far as I can tell…you can't print it, but you can buy it for $80.

Also, it is still labelled as a "prepublication copy", another disgusting oversight or just intentional weasel method.

Aspects of DNA Damage from Internal Radionuclides --- Chris Busby

stock here--here is an introduction to an article by Busby.    He does a good job of putting information into a level that a "lay engineer" can wrap their head around.   

Bottom line--He says the existing radiation risk models are fully wrong.  I agree.

Aspects of DNA Damage from Internal Radionuclides

Christopher Busby¹

^[1] Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany

1. Introduction

In this chapter, there is insufficient space to exhaustively review the research which has been carried out on internal radionuclide effects. I hope only to highlight evidence which shows that internal radionuclides cannot be assessed by the current radiation risk model, and to suggest some research directions that may enable a new model to be developed, one which more accurately quantifies the real effects of such exposures. The biological effects of exposure to ionizing radiation have been studied extensively in the last 70 years and yet very little effort has gone into examining the health effects of exposure to internal incorporated radionuclides. This is curious, since the biosphere has been increasingly contaminated with novel man-made radioactive versions of naturally occurring elements which living creatures have adapted to over evolutionary timescales, and intuition might suggest that these substances could represent a significant hazard to health, one not easily or accurately modelled by analogy with external photon radiation (X-rays and gamma rays).

The question of the health effects of internal radionuclide exposures began to be asked in the early 1950s when there was widespread fallout contamination of food and milk from atmospheric nuclear tests. It quickly became the subject of disagreements between two committees of the newly formed International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)[1]. The questions of the equivalence of internal and external radiation exposure, which were the basis of these disagreements, have still not been resolved. In the West, up to very recently, the whole spectrum of health effects from internal incorporated radionuclides has focused on animal studies of Radium, Plutonium and Strontium-90 and human retrospective studies of those individuals exposed to Radium-226 and Thorium-232 in the contrast medium “Thorotrast”. These studies suffer from a number of problems which will be discussed.

Soviet scientists were more interested in internal radiation effects from fission-product radionuclides, but unfortunately their valuable studies have been difficult to access since they are published in Russian. In 1977 Gracheva and Korolev published a book summarising work in this area which was translated in India in 1980 as Genetic Effects of the Decay of Radionuclides in Cells [2]. This presented a wealth of interesting data relating to beta emitter genetic effects in various systems and drew attention to the distinction that must be made between external and internal radiation. This is important since the whole assessment of radiation in terms of health has been through the quantity “absorbed dose” and what can be called the bag-of-water model.

In this bag of water model, illustrated in Fig 1, the total energy transferred by the radiation to living tissue is diluted into a large mass, greater than a kilogram, as if the effects were uniform throughout the tissue being considered. In Fig 1 the tissue mass A represents an external irradiation by X-rays or gamma rays and here the effects are uniform across the tissue. But in the case B, for internal irradiation, it is clear that it is possible, for certain kinds of exposure, for tissue local to the source to receive very large amounts of radiation energy at the same overall energy transfer to the tissue mass.

Blast Data From Fukushima -- To Shred 18" Reinforced Concrete Walls, C4 Explosive Not Enough, Hydrogen -- No Way

Certainly in calculating damage from an explosive blast, we would need to consider not just peak pressure achieved, but also the "impulse" the rate of pressure change.    From C4 or TNT, peak pressures are achieved very quickly, say 1 to 3 milliseconds.

I used a study by the US Military on an 18" reinforced concrete wall, in which they ran explosive tests with documentation.

Their bombs were roughly 220 lbs of explosive material, placed 7 feet away from a wall.

Basically, even after 5 large bombs were set off, the damage seen was still less than the damage seen at Fukushima.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwjv_vX53d_MAhXEx4MKHbJ9A1AQFggmMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dtic.mil%2Fcgi-bin%2FGetTRDoc%3FAD%3DADA171947&usg=AFQjCNGcen5-USChXBXuEuGlf7jOQUvKSw&sig2=iW2KJxnsEMn9HHd_w6eZ1w&cad=rja

Fukushima 3 and 4 were NOT hydrogen explosions, they were a type of nuclear explosion. 

Hydrogen is good at making a very high temperature blast, but not a very high energy blast.

The flame from burning hydrogen has a very high heat content — its flame temperature is 3,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Hydrogen burns with an almost invisible flame, converting all energy into heat energy

 

from the reference above

Here is the RE, Relative Effectiveness of various explosive materials.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_effectiveness_factor


Here is another course of blast research material, less technical, more for management types

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0ahUKEwjv_vX53d_MAhXEx4MKHbJ9A1AQFgg4MAM&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fema.gov%2Fmedia-library-data%2F20130726-1455-20490-7465%2Ffema426_ch4.pdf&usg=AFQjCNE5LiQVJvzAyNhQyc8jzGmdoXkPDg&sig2=NCHEk752RWGSYNikj4NT3Q&cad=rja

--------------------------------------------
Now some data on the explosive power of hydrogen

 stock here, calculations by the NRC based on a reactor building full of hydrogen.

An equivalent amount of TNT is calculated, it is roughly equal to 61 bombs of the 220 lbs size the US Military used in trying to blow up a 18" reinforced concrete wall.

The damages from those 220lb bombs was minor in relation to the damages suffered at Fukushima.

Hi

I am a physical security consultant, i have a client who is concerned about a hydrogen / air explosion in his factory. I would like to know the pressures that could be attained using the following scenario

room size - 40m3
explosive - equivalent to 5kg TNT (is that possible for calculations)

what would pressure and impulse be on the walls of the room?

  

Compositepro (Chemical) 14 Jul 10 11:39

I have not done the calculation for hydrogen but for most hydrocarbons the maximum adiabatic combustion pressure is very close to 150 psi, or 10 times the initial pressure. This assumes all of the chemical energy goes into heating and expanding the mixture. The pressure rise is mainly limited by the available oxygen in air. I'm not sure if the shock wave pressure would go much above that. It won't be less than that.

ajs1972 (Chemical) 14 Jul 10 14:35

According to the volume of the room and UEL and LEL of hydrogen, the volume released of hydrogen that will cause an explosion will be between 2.08 and 39 kilograms and with an overpressure wave of 8.0 psi the buiding will be completely destroyed.

Overpressure (psi)        Expected Damage
   0.50-1.0                    Windows usually shattered.
   1.0-8.0                      Range for slight to serious injuries from flying glass and other missiles.
   2.0                             Partial collapse of walls and roofs of houses.

   2.4-12.2                    Range for 1-90% eardrum rupture among exposed populations.
   5.0                             Wooden utility poles snapped.
   5.0-7.0                       Nearly complete destruction of houses.
   7.0                             Loaded train cars overturned.
   10.0                           Probable total building destruction.
   14.5-29.0                   Range for 1-99% fatalities among exposed populations due to direct blast effects.

ajs1972 (Chemical) 14 Jul 10 15:02

With the values of UEL and LEL you will achieve more than 5 kilograms of TNT. An explosion in LEL value, the room will be destroyed.

StoneCold (Chemical) 15 Jul 10 13:40

ajs1972   How did you figure out the pressure wave of 8.0 psi?

Regards
StoneCold

ajs1972 (Chemical) 15 Jul 10 21:59

Hello StoneCold:

We have a 40 m3 room= 1.3 kg/m3 (density of air)*40 m3=52 kg of air. The LEL of hydrogen is 40000 ppm (weight)=0.04*52=2.08 kg. of hydrogen in leaks will reach the LEL.

The combustion heat of hydrogen is 33 859 kcal/kg, so 2.08 kg will produce 70426.72 kcal.

The combustion heat of TNT is 1080 kcal, so 2.08 kg of hydrogen are equal to 65.21 kg of TNT and 1 kg of TNT produces 0.73 m3 of gas, then 2.08 kg of hydrogen will produce 47.6 m3 of gas.

In a room of 40 m3, the pressure will increase by double, so the wave pressure will be 15 psi.

But if you review the table of wave overpressures, is necessary only 8 psi to destroy the building.

Compositepro (Chemical) 16 Jul 10 14:16

AJS I've checked very little of your math, but one mistake you make is that the combustion products are not at room temperature, they will be at thousands of degrees.
The peak pressures in a high explosive detonations are on the order of a million psi (at zero distance). As I said earlier, the peak pressure in a fuel-air deflagration is about 150 psi.  

ajs1972 (Chemical) 17 Jul 10 00:34

Hello Compositero:

You are right, a deflagration will produce, in a closed system, a maximum of 10 times the initial pressure.

Like you say a peak or maximum pressure could be 150 psi in atmospheric initial conditions. I said, overpressure waves 150 psi or 15 psi, twice are dangerous.

According to EPA tables, from 8 psi and more, the damages will be catastrophic.

Regards.

Shoefly (Chemical) 16 Nov 10 17:39

ajs1972
Careful!  Your concepts are flawed.

The use of ppm in the context of gases means parts per million - a concentration by volume - not a concentration by weight.

40,000ppm = 4%.

4% of a 40m3 volume of gas air/hydrogen mixture = 1.6m3 of hydrogen.

1.6m3 x 0.08375kg/m3 (mass of H2 at NTP) = 0.134kg of H2

Also, there is a difference in the lower flammable level and lower explosive level (LEL) for hydrogen.  A hydrogen air mixture explosion is most powerful at a stoichiometric mixture ~30% H2.
 

hacksaw (Mechanical) 21 Nov 10 09:59

Hardly a proper forum for such a calculation especially without a complete set of drawings describing the building, leak sources and ventilation methods.

my own limited experience is that hydrogen generally goes off as a burning process (significant and distructive in its own right) and is difficult to get it to detonate except in very special circumstances.

you really need a specialist to answer you questions, good luck

Radioactive Cesium 137 Is Being Intentionally Placed Into Our Environment

Cesium 137 (and its shorter lived cousin Cesium 134 with a 2 year half life) is one of the most dangerous nuclear power plant "fission products".

It goes into muscles, like the heart and does lots of damage quickly.

But the nucleo apes with their 3 pound monkey brains figure, hey this stuff is really cool!   Rather than finding another way to track oil shipments, we can add Cesium 137 to oil and use it to track shipments.   Then when the oil is burned, the radiation will be spread all over the atmosphere.   But is sure is "cool".

As an example, cesium-137 can be used to monitor the flow of oil in a pipeline. In many cases, more than one oil company may use the same pipeline. How does a receiving station know whose oil is coming through the pipeline? One way to solve that problem is to add a little cesium-137 when a new batch of oil is being sent. The cesium-137 gives off radiation. That radiation can be detected easily by holding a detector at the end of the pipeline. When the detector shows the presence of radiation, a new batch of oil has arrived.

Read more: http://www.chemistryexplained.com/elements/A-C/Cesium.html#ixzz48rbkcuI2

 And in true Ape Like form, mankind's deems is smart to put Cesium 137 into the dirt so that we can measure erosion-----

Cesium-137 is often used in scientific research also. For example, cesium tends to stick to particles of sand and gravel. This fact can be used to measure the speed of erosion in an area. Cesium-137 is injected into the ground at some point. Some time later, a detector is used to see how far the isotope has moved. The distance moved tells a scientist how fast soil is being carried away. In other words, it tells how fast erosion is taking place.

Oyster Creek, A Dangerous Old Nuke Plant, Now Guilty of Gross Negligence in Maintenance on Key Safety Systems

stock here: We are living on borrowed time.   As the nuclear industry gets more and more desperate, as solar drinks its milkshake, nuclear becomes more and more dangerous.

The negligent operators of Oyster Creek failed to inspect or replace a cooling hose for their Diesel Genset.
http://patch.com/new-jersey/lacey/nrc-oyster-creek-emergency-diesel-generator-cooling-system-failed-during-test-due-aging-hose

Oyster Creek is the oldest nuclear plant in the United States. It went online on Dec. 23, 1969.

The Diesel Gensets is a key safety feature.    In event of local utility outage, the nuke plant will melt down unless it has emergency power to allow a structured shut down and cool down.  

Any mechanic / handy type knows that when dealing with old cars, at around 10 years max, one would simply replace all the cooling hoses, even if they don't look bad.

Exelon just ignored this key cooling component, and IT DID result in a failure of the emergency backup system on Jan 4, 2016.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When was the last time they changed the cooling hose?

22 years ago.

State of Morro Bay, California; 4.6 years into the Fukushima meltdown

John Dearing2 months ago

When this nuclear facility first got damaged and went kapoof it sent a huge amount of radiation directly towards us. In less than a month's time it covered our entire country. The west coast got the most and continues to receive it daily. Combine this with the methane and now helium 3 leaking and blowing all over out there. Fukushima is lost people it cannot be contained I believe it even worse than they've admitted to. I believe all the reactors there have melted down and are rapidly burning their way through the earth. I saw a video where they are saying that in protective gear the best we have if you stand there it will kill you in 45 minutes or less. Indian point in New York state leaking radiation into the ground water one well showed a 65,000% increase over the acceptable allowed amount of radiation in a water supply that's for public use. Down south underground fire burning its way towards a nuclear waste dump with nothing in between to block its path. An underground fire with a little explosion at a nuclear waste dump site in Nevada not far from Vegas they don't know what's burning due to bad record keeping they say. I ask you this they attacked the coal burning power plants shutting them down sighting its bad for us and environment right? They say for some reason nuclear energy is cleaner and safer for us but it produces highly toxic by products that take hundreds if not thousands of years to be safe to handle. These plants produce many tons of this waste yearly and we have over 100 in operation that's a lot of glow in the dark shit to get rid of. They have the nerve to call us crazy and label us domestic terrorists if we question any government narrative or policy they adopt. We are screwed, chewed and irradiated bbq'd. God help us all.

Earthquake/Volcano Alert Issued by Nukepro for Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, Possibly Northern Russian Area

Update, a sizable 6.7 to 6.9 hit Ecuador overnight.   Keep in mind that EQ "bounce" back in forth across the Pacific, its not just a movement phenomenon, there is also momentum involved, on a VERY slow but very grand scale. 

So I am keeping the large EQ forecast open for a while.   See below.

Also trying out Earthquake 3D, the free version.   The upgraded version is only $20 and a likely purchase.   Here is what it looks like.

Bristol Island and the Atlantic Ridge are fairly unusual places for large earthquakes.   The whole North AND South American plates have slide over to the east.   This fact AND the 22 EQ/D1.5 are now very quiet and now a bigger move on the Pacific Plate is now expected.


Following the VERY unusual monster earthquake in Kumamoto Japan last month, my intuition tell me some 7.5 to 8.5 EQ along with deadly Volcanic Eruptions is expected in Japan, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea/Fiji, and least likely--- Indonesia

Another Nuclear Plant Bites The Dust, Fort Calhoun To Be Closed This Year

And good Riddance!  Fort Calhoun Nuke Plant Is To Be Closed

Aloha!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

http://journalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/nebraska/oppd-looks-to-shut-down-fort-calhoun-nuclear-plant/article_9b559bec-a087-5c3a-a9bc-c187d66322ea.html

Continued operation of Fort Calhoun Station is not in the long-term financial interests of Omaha Public Power District or its customer-owners, President and CEO Tim Burke told the OPPD board Thursday.

Senior OPPD management is recommending engineers split their last atom by the end of this year and begin the decommissioning process.

“Overall this was a financial decision. The bottom line was that it is just not economically viable to continue operations there,” OPPD spokesman Mike Jones said in an interview following the meeting.

And here is a longer article
http://www.omaha.com/money/oppd-ceo-shut-down-fort-calhoun-nuclear-plant-by-end/article_f8b86658-184e-11e6-b852-8f5144170b67.html

OPPD ratepayer Mark Welsch, who attended Thursday’s meeting, commended the utility’s management team and board for taking up the issue. Welsch is the head of the Omaha chapter of the advocacy group Nebraskans for Peace. He said the utility should be tilting toward renewable sources of energy, like wind.
“I’m very proud to be a customer-owner of OPPD right now,” he said. “The board is taking a hard look at a very hard potential decision it will have to make.”
If the board follows through on the recommendation, OPPD’s wind and renewable generation will make up 49 percent of its energy portfolio by 2020, up from 38 percent that is currently forecast.

============================
The reality....no company has set aside enough money to decomission these plants.....

OPPD in its 2015 annual report estimated that the costs to decommission Fort Calhoun would be about $884 million. The utility has socked away about $373 million for those costs.

============================================
And the NRC is headed by weasels.....

Stephen Burns, chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, recently sat down with The Energy Times for a broad discussion about nuclear power in America. This is the last of a two-part series.
ENERGY TIMES: For existing nuclear plants, will there be universal attempts to extend license goings for another 20 years, up to a total of 60 years or more?
BURNS: For 60 years - certainly yes. About 80 percent of the existing fleet has received initial license renewal for 40 to 60 years.  For a plant that came online in the mid-1980’s, 0 years gets you to 2025 and another 20 gets you potentially 2045.  The industry is looking at the possibility of moving from 60 to 80 years.
ENERGY TIMES: To get from 60 to 80 years - will it require massive capital investment?
BURNS: I don’t probably have any particulars on the investment.  There’s going to be some costs with that.

TY, yes I lived in Illinois, I know how incredibly corrupt it is.   No coincidence with all the race bating and the emergence of Obama from that area.

Illinois exports equivalent of 3 nuke plants to other states.   Illinois considering handing citizen money to bolster corporate profits to "bailout" three nuke plants.

hmmmmmmmm

Would an Earth Magnetic Reversal Result in Earth Being Stripped of Its Oxygen?

stock here--saw this interesting discussion at Suspicious Observers.

The author "CindyDiesintheEnd" is kind of a taunting arsehole, but does finally provide some decent links, and some degree of interpretation, but not in any impressive, helpful, or convincing way.  

I think I can sum up the "Cindy" take as this...the Earth is going to be stripped of all its oxygen and
that it will happen in the next few generations of humans. 

I have personally been looking at the pole shift issue for many years.    Here is one article I wrote:

http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2012/11/magnetic-pole-shift.html

I believe a "pole shift" occurred about 40,000 years ago, and with it, of course, came reduced magnetic field (aka shield) and much higher gamma radiation from space and sun.    It also marked a massive uptick in human "cave art" indicating quite possibly that the increased gamma had caused a successful human mutation.   We got lucky on that one.

Oxygen was not stripped and there was not a mass extinction.    We have plenty of black swans, we don't need to take white ones and paint them black.

Sure appreciate any and all comments!

I am very pressed for time, but between FOTW, and the serendipity of the following addition to the riddle.

Briefly, I digress to Tony’s wild goose chase with Einstein and Velikovsky. True, he was one of the last to have Einstein reviewing his manuscript, but it had much more to do with common cultural ties and perhaps nostalgia, more than anything else.

Einstein spent most of his time with Velikovsky trying to talk him out if some of his ideas that challenged “conventional science”. This was ironic given his views on censorship. However he felt Velikovsky’s ideas would be more “palatable” if they were a bit “toned down”.

Towards the end of his life Einstein had grown a bit cynical of the Establishment, and a bit bored with relativity.

And that brings the Gift of Fire, to make his Unified Field Theory work, he decided he had to “get around relativity”.  In the 1700 or so manuscript pages that were “found” behind Dukas’ archival office in Princeton’s filing cabinet just shortly before the whole batch was shipped to Jerusalem in the 80s, is your answer to defeating the answer to the riddle.

Its very unlikely those pages accidentally ended up there. Dukas was devoted to her rask, detail oriented, and fastidious. (they were found after she passed, i believe) I don t believe much progress has been made working with those pages.

Which perhaps is fortuitous, because the fact our increasingly weakening magnetosphere, is probably going to make your glorious paper as useful as a paperweight. Ok, we’ll maybe less so.
It was not mentioned before, but there is lag time between what is happening with the sun, and the effects on Earth, here. So I wonder what else happens? Well, if you get past the lousy weather, the Earth wooziness of a excursion or reversal, breathing is going to become a real problem. That’s gonna leave a mark.  Winner of the intergalactic lottery, remember?
Ben, that is all I can get on that, at this time.
Now, I am finding translations or doing them myself on some articles that of are substantial interest.  In the meantime, I would ask you to reconsider this article you discussed previously in light of what’s going on now.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X14001629#br0220
this may help you further flesh out some aspects. Be aware that always, what happens at the Sun, affects here.

this article does not consider more recent developments such as the “oceans” under the surface, nor does it consider abrupt scenarios, but its quite juicy. I don’t believe you have read it previously.

here is the abstract,

[1] The discovery of the reversals of Earth’s magnetic field and the description of plate tectonics are two of the main breakthroughs in geophysics in the 20th century. We claim that these two phenomena are correlated and that plate tectonics controls long-term changes in geomagnetic reversal frequency. More precisely, geological intervals characterized by an asymmetrical distribution of the continents with respect to the equator are followed by intervals of high reversal frequency. We speculate that the distribution and symmetry of mantle structures driving continental motions at the surface influence the equatorial symmetry of the flow within the core and thus change the coupling between the dipolar and quadrupolar modes which controls the occurrence of reversals.

Momentum transport in the solar wind erosion of the Mars ionosphere (Article)
(As u know, Mars and Venus do not have a strong magnetic field, but we do know at some point, their atmosphere got sucked into space, so to speak)
So um, like, at what point does our weakening fields cause an acute increase of atmospheric loss of oxygen ions from earth through magnetospheric processes?
And my personal doomy fave:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2014JA020549/abstract
Abstract
The Earth’s dipole moment has been decaying over the past 1.5 centuries. The magnetosphere thus has been shrinking and the chance of geosynchronous magnetopause crossings has been increasing. We quantitatively evaluate the increasing exposure of geosynchronous orbit in the solar wind caused by the decay of dipole moment and the variation of solar wind condition, and study the possible situation if such decay persists for several more centuries. The results show that the average subsolar magnetopause distance would move earthward by ~0.3 RE per century, assuming the linear decreasing of the Earth’s dipole moment at present rate. The minimum solar wind dynamic pressure required for geosynchronous magnetopause crossings will decrease by ~4 nPa (2 nPa) in the next 100 years under northward (southward) interplanetary magnetic field. Under normal solar wind conditions, the noon region of the geosynchronous orbit will be exposed to the solar wind in the next few centuries. These results suggest that the secular variations of geomagnetic field are of paramount importance for our understanding of space climate

Well somebody starting to get it. Too bad their assumption are a bit wrong and timing is off.
But see,

http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?eid=2-s2.0-0035831319&origin=inward&txGid=7592DD3789A790EC9FE88090BB7C188D.53bsOu7mi7A1NSY7fPJf1g%3a6

(Avoids catastrophic or acute scenarios, but informative)

So now might be a good time to get around that whole relativity thing. Be glad you have some resources available you can talk to. That guy that helped build the space shuttle might be useful.
Good Times.

will be back to read comments eventually, and will be posting more tools needed, in the meantime, happy hunting guys and gals

PSS-brilliant albeit probably unreliable and a bullshitter, but check out Eric Dollard’s lectures, especially on the History of electromagnetism. Probably gonna need to grasp some of that, for starters

(There are articles for and against Fuller out there, btw)
For extra points, guess what phase of orbital eccentricity we are in/ heading for?

We have a lot of things coalescing roughly close in time. This is the ghost story of our children’s children, and this is After the other stuff. If we are also truly close to the end of the interglacial, I think we are so f$&@ked we can’t even take a bus, back to f$&@ked. Even if its by degrees of severity, its still gonna leave a huge mark.

Chelation, a Panacea to Our Toxic World? Or a Threat to Our Health and Pocketbook?

Those who are "selling" Chelation seem to have a one sided "good" or "great" view on chelation.

Then there are those who spend massive efforts trying to show how chelation is not a panacea.

I would like to hear your opinion, or send links to your own research, I will post them into the article.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally, I like chelation through basic and cheap means like Miso soup with dandelion leafs.   I think that form is useful and not harmful.   First, do no harm.   How far the medical industry has drifted.

Why have I never been diagnosed with accumulation of mercury from medical personnel? My dad was a coal miner for 40 years he was never diagnosed with an accumulation of mercury, nor was my grandfather who was miner for over 50 years? There should be multiple people with accumulation of mercury built up in their system in the area where I live. Coal has been mined here since the 1880s.
