Such as Mokenergy hydrogen derived from solar energy would be a good
start, even if that started out badly at $1000/tonne, because that's
still only 5 cents/kwhr when derived from a Bloom fuel cell unit.
Once solar energy is fully developed should bring that delivered
hydrogen cost near $100/tonne, and Mook has many other clean synfuel
from coal alternatives that shouldn't be excluded.

Of course I'm all for creating and using HTP, as well geothermal in
addition to wind, solar and maximum hydroelectric, not to mention my
support for those failsafe thorium fueled reactors.

Big Energy insider traders and market speculators are taking us to the
cleaners. In legal terms of extortion, that’s essentially treason, if
not an act of war.

At best, the USA only imported a little over 20 million barrels per
year from Libya before everything turned ugly (that’s roughly a day’s
worth), which is hardly a drop in the overall Big Energy bucket that's
currently making us pay more than $4/gallon (with their summer sights
set on $5/gallon). In other words, the disruption to the US market is
only shot us down by at most a couple million barrels thus far,
although I'd bet we've only missed out on one supertanker load,
because if anyone can get a supertanker hauling a million barrels of
Libyan oil safely underway, that would be us.

I'm certain that you and others (including William Mook) can add a
great deal of valuable history and current event information to this
most recent topic by Michael Moore.

It seems our very own homegrown banking, investment and insurance
cabals of monetary terrorist have each gotten the Rothschild green
light and their stamp of approval.

Any time a government agency or their special ops and hired
mercenaries need loot and/or spendy resources, there’s never any
shortage. Just like when the rich and powerful decide to play
monopoly with public and privet loot that’s leveraged way past the
point of no return as is, there’s little if anything to fear as long
as those offshore banks and stealth investments are being kept as
covert or secret and untaxable to boot.

So, unless your God has a robust ledger of offshore accounts stuffed
with loot and other precious resources, it’s unlikely that the rich
and powerful that are above government and in charge of most
everything that counts, have anything to fear.
