Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat



Usually, we are in the situation where we are snatching defeat
from the jaws of victory, but for a change, I'm thinking we
should make a coherent effort to reverse that stereo-typical
behavior.
 
 In the following interview from Democracy Now:

puerto_rico_grid_related_issues

which contains many issues connected with recovery efforts
in Puerto Rico,  however, in particular there is an interview
with the head of the electric workers union in Puerto Rico.

In it he suggests that the offer by Elon Musk,
seen here:

elon-musk-puerto-rico-solar-power-tesla

is not an immediate solution for Puerto Rico's
grid issues, because of the studies that need to
be done, to insure that such a project moves
forward with the greatest effect.  In other words
he is not saying that sustainability efforts will
not benefit Puerto Rico, he is saying that
study needs to be done to implement the project
in a way that will provide the maximum benefit
for the over all effort ( or investment ) put into
it.

We need, to be brief, to design it before we build it.

I should repeat that 9 * 10 ^^42 times ,,,, ( big number )

however, if the U.S. or on a wider scale the Global
community is willing to invest, in these kinds of studies
in Puerto Rico, then the results of these studies should
have great significance in larger contexts.

One very interesting aspect of this might be the consideration
of somehow connecting the Puerto Rican grid to
some larger grid, perhaps connecting many of the Caribbean
 islands or perhaps somehow connecting back to the
main land, U.S..

This is an incredible opportunity, for success, which is
practical and reasonable, at the same time extending
that success to greater applicability.

 So to be brief such an effort, which would require modest
investment, could have very beneficial influence not just
on Puerto Rico not just in the near term ,  but also for the
long term and also provide wider benefits, both in the U.S.
or wider Global community.

Puerto Rico

A bit of a vision on a global energy transmission system



So basically this is what I imagine a a system that would
be capable of transferring energy from one spot on the
globe to pretty much any other.

First of all I believe somewhat of a reform on the distribution
level which would include neighborhood power
generation systems,  of modest power generation levels,
but would involve  co-operation within communities.  These
generation systems would not  necessarily produce a massive
or industrial level  of energy but would involve a substantial
reduction in  transmission and industrial scale power generation.

And you can also see this in individual
power generation systems...

But beyond that, to maintain an industrial infrastructure
requires industrial energy production.  So on a large scale
we would need to greatly expand our ability to share energy
on a large scale.  One idea connected to this would be a more
industrial scale power generation at a local or pre - distribution
level, which would create an energy supply independent of
the transmission system.

But in general, the system would be defined in a sense
as a process, evolving over time,  making gradual and
continuous performance and innovative progress.  Progress
on this system would also involve integration of the system
into general infrastructure.

These are just a few brief notes on what a global  energy
system might contain. But clearly a much different tone and
atmosphere of co-operation globally would be necessary to
succeed with such an enterprise.

Helium-3 fusion

So this is also interesting topic which I have mentioned ....

here:  Superfluids ---

So again, this is direct link :  Helium3

But you can find many more items related to this,

for example :

India: ISRO 

Helium-3 fusion

China & Mining

Helium-3 really?

So more interesting ideas here /////

Photonic Fusion and photon fusion



This is an article that appeared under photonic fusion search on google....

Nuclear photonic rocket

Characterization of photonic fusion

Laser Focus World

from 2013 ,,,,

but also found this:

W-states


and maybe a band called

Photonic Fusion

Now from google search photon fusion:

Quantum State Fusion

and this 2008:

Photon Fusion Reactor (PFR)


and this

Max Plank Institute

and this

What is photon fusion?

which includes the following from 2009:

Scientists have manipulated light - such as sunlight - to combine the photons' energy with particular wavelengths. Previously only possible with high-energy density laser light, the process could pave the way for more efficient solar cells.

An innovative process that converts low-energy longwave photons into higher-energy shortwave photons has been developed by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz and at the Sony Materials Science Laboratory in Stuttgart (both in Germany).


Something to think about:


Definitely food for what you call it ???
