Our future is now / by Williamknowsbest

Not that all of William Mook is ‘off the hook’, just 95+% is sort of
off-world and otherwise downright spendy unless it’s war like paid for
by countless generations to come.
What we need is to focus our resident wizard Mook expertise on that
terrestrial 5% worth of his mindset that’s affordably within our
grasp.
The likes of Warren Buffett, GE and even Dubai are going big-time into
wind energy investments, not to mention the other significant half of
Europe that isn’t already doing those failsafe thorium reactors, and
then we always have those pesky Norwegian/Netherlands that never know
when to give up, and perhaps because it all represents by far the
greatest energy density per green tower footprint. Dubai and a few
other nations based almost entirely upon exporting and/or utilizing
fossil energy by the supertanker loads are more than ever getting down
to their spendy dregs of their soon to be dry wells, with few viable
options other than to go into renewable energy alternatives before
it’s too late.
I’d mopre than once suggested my tower footprint of composite energy
density at 40 kw/m2, with a future of 50 kw/m2 within our grasp. Of
course our resident energy wizard Mook and company could not only care
less, but chose to summarily topic/author stalk and bash at every
possible consideration, taking as much out-of-context and turning it
all around in order to suit whatever his all-knowing naysay mindset
could muster.
However, perhaps we should never fear but fear itself, as lord Mook is
more than all-knowing and apparently never makes a mistake, that is
unless it's the sneaky fault of some crazy Muslims or some other than
Semitic faith-based group pulling off another fast one on us, though
I’m still a little surprised that constructive contributions to this
and other topics hasn’t been Mook authenticated, by yet another one of
his do-everything or else manifestos.
Even if given a green light for his vast surface area of complex
mirror enhanced PVs consuming space and thus creating those somewhat
inefficient methods of accomplishing his low energy density footprints
on behalf of green hydrogen production is technically doable, that is
once given enough free land and reverse tax incentives so that it's
essentially public funded to start with.
BTW, I totally agree with the use of 3He(He3) in future space energy
demanding applications, although terrestrial thorium reactors are also
quite failsafe doable as is, as well as He3/fusion seems worthy.
Notions of our lord Mook “pushing present day technology in the near
term” is asking a bit too much of our bipolar energy wizard, as is
anything of China or India CATS somehow taboo or off-limits according
to the all-or-nothing mindset of Mook. Silly old me for thinking we
have an ongoing global energy crisis.
