It really IS

a big deal! And it certainly will have an impact on the mid-terms.

President Donald Trump dropped one of the biggest energy announcements of his second term on Friday evening, revealing that the United States and Venezuela had signed what he called “the biggest oil deal in world history.” The agreement hands America majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela’s proven oil reserves…

… This deal is a game changer on several levels. Venezuela holds the largest proven crude oil reserves on the planet, somewhere between 303 and 304 billion barrels, or roughly 19% of the entire global total. Locking down majority control of even a slice of that changes the math on America’s energy security in a way few deals could. It also reduces U.S. dependence on Canadian heavy crude, giving Washington another lever to pull the next time prices spike.

Boy, that is really

good news!

I like it. Trump needs to get the price of gas down in time for the mid-terms.

Uhm, THAT

appears to be a very big deal! Assuming it is even a little accurate, it’s a real game-changer.

HUGE!

How do you

say, “more, please” in Japanese? Folks, THIS is the future!

Japan has quietly taken a radical step in nuclear energy innovation with the deployment of the Yoroi Reactor — a compact, self-contained nuclear power unit designed to operate autonomously in remote or disaster-prone regions. Unlike conventional reactors, Yoroi requires no towers, no operating crew, and no on-site refueling for up to a decade.

DUH! Energy

Boy, this is

really good news! We need to be self-sufficient in terms of energy. NOT buying from people who hate us and wish us harm. It’s a national security issue!

Is there anyone who wants what is best for the country (and who is not an ignorant shill) who disagrees?

I’m REALLY glad

to see this. I think that micro nuclear reacts ARE the future. Nuclear is head and shoulders better than solar or wind power. AND, it much better for the environment. No clogging up landfills with non-biodegradable windmill blades and toxic, “dirty” solar panels!

OK, so what is

the future of energy?

Well, futurists dream of small nuclear power reactor system spread out across the country, hardening the grid. Lefty “environmentalists” scoff at that–they say the technology is too dangerous to be widespread.

But wait, don’t we already have such technology? The first nuclear submarine was, IIRC, built in the early 1950s. Other than the Thresher in the early 60s, have we ever lost a nuclear sub? Plus, there are numerous aircraft carriers that are powered by small nuclear reactors.

Oh, and ALL these are run by 18-year-olds with only a high school degree. Don’t get me wrong, there are a TON of wicked smart people involved up and down the chain, but these nuclear reactors have been shown to be quite safe. And they work in one of the materially harshest settings known to man (salt water and combat)!

And the technology is well-established to make them safe–foolproof, really. Molten salt reactors are almost totally safe! The “environmentalist” kooks hate nuclear energy for completely irrational reasons, yet they also want electric cars and such, which, if adopted on a wide scale, would totally overwhelm the power grid.

Meanwhile, wind and solar farms are a total environmental nightmare! The blades and photo-voltaic panels are NOT recyclable. So these scammers just bury the waste in a great big hole. Unreal.

Serious environmentalists are BIG fans of modern nuclear power. And we have the technology and skills to implement nuclear power today! Someday we may have better batteries (NOT just bigger ones) and space-based solar might make sense. But today is not that day!

I hope

he does. One reason that a lot of us voted Trump is that we wanted common sense Energy policies. And the Democrats were horrible with that. What has been going on is a total travesty! It is the ultimate “America last” policy.

Do ya think

that “Biden” could ever make progress on this? I don’t. They are waaaaay too beholden to the wacko re-branded nuclear protester “environmentalist” crowd.

Granholm’s remarkable pronouncement may represent a turning point against the magical thinking behind the “Green New Deal” and Net-Zero if—and this is the key point—the Biden administration follows through with a serious program of regulatory reform to enable a new generation of nuclear power to be built more cheaply and quickly. Don’t hold your breath for this to occur. Our antediluvial environmentalists are foursquare against any meaningful regulatory reform for anything, and the Biden administration offers no evidence that it is prepared to have a “Sister Souljah moment” with its environmentalist constituency.

If you are a real environmentalist, you are a huge fan of nuclear energy!

FINALLY! A bit

of sanity!

Don’t you wish we were a bit more like Sweden in some ways? I sure do!
