Let our work show love healing the world
like Jesus did. Let’s meet this
emergency to help
BBC* 6/7/04: The top world expert, Colin
Campbell, has a dire warning:
"If the real [oil well depletion] figures were to come out there would be panic on the stock markets, in the end that
would suit no one.” (news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3777413.stm)
I
see w o r s e !, because all plans will be disrupted by both good and
bad energy news. US’s DOE is reviewing* revolutionary
non-radioactive atomic power which will drive fuel demand down but the bad news
is that global oil production is dropping.*
We can not start consuming oil faster than it can be obtained! New atomic power is too late to help liquid
fueled vehicles. Who will buy vehicles
made obsolete by incompatible power sources?
We must design a practical solution that will help industries and
economies. Some overlooked expired
patents may work miracles.
The majority of a vehicle's combustion heat is now dissipated, wasted.
Patents simply "recycle" the heat to help run the vehicle! US regulations now hinder modifications done
on vehicles. However, because this
emergency fuel shortage is world wide, entrepreneurs in other countries will
desperately grab any solution. We will
adapt but forget about having most foreign businesses pay any patent royalties.
Other
countries will prove retrofits are worth adjusting our rules to encourage their
use. Combustion industries must compete
globally. Wise governments will soon
adjust their rules so we can solve the global energy emergency threatening to
terrorize civilization’s ability to move.
Forget efficiency; retrofits may cut vehicle
manufacturing costs and attractively, dramatically increase performance at the
same time. These are huge incentives to
modify new vehicles even in advance of the revolutionary power sources that
will need some hopefully similar retrofitting technology to run all the old
vehicles, or oil's decline that will need an efficient retrofit to
economize. Such a technology would become
standard equipment tomorrow. And be
highly profitable. All over the world
this retrofit technology will help sell vehicles quickly.
Expert monitors say the natural pressure
pushing oil up in wells is peaking out and falling off sooner than hoped.* Fuel prices will go way up now to ration fuel
use. It is happening today! It is not the next generation's problem. Most will not be able to afford enough
fuel! The poor will not be able to
afford transportation to work etc. Businesses
will fail for lack of workers. We could
enter a deadly global depression unless all vehicles become more efficient
quickly. We can do much more with less
fuel by retrofitting engines with expired patents. Such attachments
which modify existing vehicles are the only realistic solution to imminent
global transportation paralysis. I need partners.
Whatever is believed first, either the good
or bad energy news, does not matter because we are not ready for either the
free atomic heat sources or the failing oil supplies because people have become
addicted to and totally dependant on liquid fuel in all our vehicles for moving
anything. Free atomic heat will not help
cars without adaptors. We need oil to
fuel our way of life. We will pay all we
have to get it. Therefore, everyone needs
to retrofit his vehicle with something that makes it much more efficient AND
able to use the new portable safe atomic reactors when they become
available. We need former fuels to
backup the strange new power source equipment that may fit into a trunk. I think adaptors can also boost performance
and let solar cells help run existing cars.
With enough such attachments, neither the good nor bad news will
discourage vehicle sales, create massive unemployment or invite fuel shortages to
inflate the cost of living globally.
People will want to switch to free power
sources fast. If vehicles can not run on
the new energy sources they will not run at all when the oil industry fades out
of business. Combustion industries, from
manufacturing (like M i t s u b i s h i ) to insurance (like S t a
t e F a r m ), could be devalued and lay staff off when enough people think that
their vehicles are becoming obsolete and depreciated as loan collateral, and
doubt they can get all the fuel they will need.* Vehicle depreciations may bankrupt personal
and corporate finances. People know
fuel suppliers can not always lower their prices to compete with the free
alternative energy sources that manufacturers will be rushing to build into
their new vehicles. On the other hand,
world growth and progress requires yet more fuel and when it becomes apparent
it does not come out of wells fast enough, the resulting shortages will drive
up fuel prices as more consumers and stockholders bid for the remaining fuel
capacity. Everyone must keep moving and
working. Meanwhile, during this transition
into free energy and oil’s depletion, controversies over timely rationing could
whip up fuel prices. Let us settle this
by reducing this transition time into the wonderful age of free energy with adapters
that make new hybrids. It should be a
lucrative service industry that urgently retrofits all vehicles with the
adaptors to do all this.
There is no readily available substitute
for oil at the rate we were able to get as simply as when it was gushing just
yesterday. Although ways have been
pioneered to grow liquid alternative fuels like corn alcohol for gasoline and
soybean oil for diesels, any significant new facilities for processing these
crops into fuel can not be built in time to help. Experience shows they will never become as
affordable as oil is now. Because the
remaining oil will soon be hard to "squeeze" out of the earth to
compensate for it gushing slower out of wells by itself, increasing oil's
production will not happen in time or be cost effective either. Wind, solar and biomass, although
"renewable," they are inconsistent and slow to install, besides they
are of the wrong kind demanded right now by growth and progress. The key critical shortage is liquid vehicle
fuel, not electrical power generation.
Conventional atomic fission electrical power plants also take many years
too long to become relevant in this immediate global fluid energy emergency. A hydrogen economy is on some distant
horizon, certainly no help now.
We can grow and progress in spite of any
combustion industry adjustments thanks to such retrofits. Without them both free energy's shock to
business cultures and oil's rationing by price or regulations, will horribly complicate
earth's health disabilities. Vehicles
will not sell when the fuel needed by them is becoming obsolete and
unavailable. Yet, neither free energy
nor oil's depletion can be stopped now.
Efficient retrofits promoted everywhere on earth could continually
reduce the rate of our use of liquid fuels, and then demand could match
dwindling production. With enough retrofits being installed fuel
prices may not increase. Depleting
oil fields can still dribble slower all they freely can and make oil pushers
glad oil addicts survived withdrawal to give them a good living for maybe
another generation.
With new choices, stock investors will not
bet on oil for fuel. The stocks of
poorly managed energy companies will be sold to buy those supplying equipment
for better power sources. Oil producers
will not be able to find investors in more recovery equipment for old oil wells
because fuel industries face total obsolescence from the new and ultimate
natural power sources that duplicate stars.*
The revolutionary star-like power sources are cold fusion similar to our
sun's core and the "Blacklight Power Process" that mimics the
energetic ultraviolet corona around the sun.
A significant amount of the earth’s heat comes from our sun's
corona. The rest radiates from the
colder white surface below.
Shoppers won’t pay much for any
inefficient vehicle if the fuel they need becomes hard to afford or even find. Former gas stations may stay in business by
buying power or byproducts from the new owners of vehicles with Free Energy
Devices, FEDs. Without retrofits the
whole combustion industry will be shocked into a depression and take the world
down with it. With retrofits; extravagant
Americans along with the Indians and Chinese etc. can enjoy more creative high paying jobs and efficient high powered
"green" vehicles, like tomorrow.
