Kirk Sorensen @ MRU on LFTR - Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors

Hey all, just wanted to share a video about a better energy source that has already been proven at the research level... 50 years ago.

LFTR

We are on the road to fossil fueled depletion into an over heated biosphere.
Unless we become aware of what is and what is not possible.
Trivial amounts are not good enough.
Exponential growth!

The distribution of needs (and wants) via advance machine automation shall be based upon available resources in an environmentally appropriate manner. I believe that Jacque Fresco was the first to come up with that idea. Unfortunately, (I think) he believes that this money system has to first collapse. There is absolutely NO way we could maintain current infrastructure (water, food supplies, electrical, and internet, and sewer, not to mention the million other industries that these depend on) AND build the machine economy, necessary for sustaining a 10 billion person strong planetary civilization if today's monetary system was to collapse. However, the monetary system will most probably become "obsolete" by its very creation... EXPONENTIAL MACHINES.

Following are a few steps to be considered:

1, Promote awareness that we ALL must agree on a best fit clean energy and economic plan.

2, To ALL agree on the “best” form of clean energy and only concentrate on the few sources that can rival fossil fuels (the only 3 options that fit this criteria are solar, wind and advanced, LFTR type nuclear). We can NOT continue to emit excess CO2 into the very air the biosphere depends on at this time.

3, Since, working within the money system is still mandatory at this stage, choose to initiate the solar option (and because of concerns about nuclear risks) so as to create (literally) hundreds of thousands of sq mi of global solar installation jobs. (We may have to make sure that whatever the collection medium is, it is made so it is not too dark in color, as we don’t want to much sunlight being converted into excess infrared!). This will help “continue” the work-ability of the money system up to a certain point in time where machines are (also) capable to complete the install process. This happens once trucks drive themselves and when human operated drilling machines etc, etc, operate themselves. We must ALL also agree to dis-enable laws that prohibit necessary mining and resource extraction which is ESSENTIAL for the planning, development, and completion of the solar and wind powered infrastructure. It is also essential for the building of molten salt and metals electricity storage facilities (which will be kinda like high tech giant pools of such placed in an environmentally safe and strategic manner).

4, To ALL be reminded that machines will displace human jobs at an ever accelerating pace, and thus make null and void, the money system (which sustains human security) unless machine made profits are distributed BACK to the populations at large.

5, To agree to distribute profits made from machine based suppliers to the people, equally, which is REQUIRED in order to give people the ability to implement the next steps. Some people call this “the basic income guarantee” or BIG.

6, To continue to support research and development of the machinery AND infrastructure required to provide necessities according to environmentally sound resource extraction methods. Also to agree on building cities which best accommodates the efficient machine distribution of resources. Cities can be machine built high rise 3D structures with most infrastructure, including transportation built in (and they would be awesome). This would entail “digging” deep below the biosphere, into the crust for most of the raw ingredients. This, in turn, requires a re-writing of silly enviro laws against mining, etc at the get go, as we can NOT afford fashionable retorts and trivialism to squander our destiny, which is survival past basic needs and the conscious ability to want others to have the same.

7, Realize that at this stage of advanced machine automation, evolve a way to socially transition away from the archaic money system which was needed to build civilization up to this point. This can only happen when machines can distribute and maintain needed (and wanted) resources and when people are willing to "chip in" whenever non machine labor is required (such as when machines can not yet repair themselves or when people want others to help with human labor "around the house").

The sky is then the limit. There will no longer be a need to mine the Earth at all. Yet tens of billions of additional souls will be able to thrive!
