The Hydrogen Filled Super-Grid Isn't a New Green Deal Idea

The idea of using cryogenic liquid hydrogen to enable superconducting power lines within across the nation was advanced in 2006 and 2007. https://www.designnews.com/electronics-test/supergrid-could-transport-electricity-and-hydrogen-parallel/177611891628539

It was and is a good idea that could serve as the first module of a national infrastructure upgrade toward a low-carbon sustainable economy.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/this-advance-brings-us-a-lot-closer-to-a-hydrogen-economy/

Besides moving energy cross country with low loss of electrons, the technology could be adapted to charge electric vehicles that draw power from the line indirectly.  As a first step three systems could be built in the meridian of select freeways on both coasts (Interstates 5 and 95) and Interstate 10 across the south. That would allow millions of new electric car owners to draw power while traveling and reduce gross greenhouse gas emissions. Even a practical Newer Green Deal political program would encounter significant obstacles. Yet after accomplishing one step toward a cleaner, faster, upgraded green economy, another might be taken.

Democrat politicians have the reputation of exploiting ecospheric ideas for election reasons yet falling short of doing solid work. A particular, specific, material objective that can be objectively evaluated and quantified is a better way to move legislation through Congress than general, vague, pass it to see what we can spend on whatever kinds of legislation.

Where are the Solar Powered Bicycle Tail lights?

Dollar stores sometimes sell fairly good rechargeable outdoor lights, yet bicycle tail lights that are solar recharged don't seem to be available even at Wal-mart. Why not?

It Should Be Illegal for Lawyers to Publicize Confidential FIles (eg. Michael Cohen)

There should be a law making it a crime for attorneys to publicize to congress or anyone else confidential client files without the consent of the former client. If it isn't a criminal offense, lawyers can just sell out there clients to interested parties whenever the price is right. Former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen is offering 14 million files to Congress in exchange for a lighter sentence.

Lawyers, psychiatrists, physicians and other privileged information access professional ought not be duplicitous loutish spook-trickster-con artists exploiting their clients for profit. The Congress should not be so unethical as to cooperate with such individuals routinely to further corrupt the fabric of American society.

Malthus Thought Population Growth Would Overtake Food Supply

The economist Thomas Malthus believed that humans would reproduce to the limit of the food supply, and population growth increases faster than food supply, so the food supply eventually would not be able to support the population.

Modern economists found that prosperity decreases population growth eventually as women choose comfort and pleasure through consumerism instead of extra child bearing.

An update to Matlhus' paradigm might be that the population will consume as much as it can, to the limits of the capacity for production of consumables, regardless of the rate of population growth. As society's median prosperity increases, consumer consumption skyrockets.

Salt Blocks for Endangered Bwindi Park Mountain Guerillas?

Recent reports have indicated that the 1000 remaining mountain guerrillas are evidently sodium challenged and have been raiding distant farming areas for sodium in Eucalyptus trees not available in the park. Cattle ranchers have salt blocks for cattle to lick that cost as little as $5 dollars apiece. Maybe conservation experts and the ecotourist guides bringing $400 million to see the guerrillas in Rwanda and Uganda could take in some of those 50lb salt blocks occasionally and leave them for the big apes. Amazon delivers groceries these days, maybe tourist guides should deliver some sodium blocks for the guerrillas (maybe in exchange for bananas).

Maybe some geodesic durable plastic rain umbrella hung from a tree would keep the blocks from being washed away in the rain.

Dems May Show Russian Collusion With IRS to Benefit Trump Posich

House Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee are asking the I.R.S. for six years worth of President Trump's tax returns from the I.R.S. One might read between the lines and discern that Democrats are following a trail of Russian-I.R.S. collusion to benefit Donald Trump financially so he could afford to run a winning campaign weaponized with the purchase of copious Facebook ads. If Russian agents have infiltrated the I.R.S. and taken over the organization from the top down it is possible that a vast left-wing conspiracy to force higher tax rates may crystalize.

The Effect of a Hypothetical Global Economic Collapse on an Administration

A collapse of the world ecosystem would be worse than the collapse of the U.S. and world economy. One might wonder how a Neanderthal or Denisovan would have regarded a question about the ecospheric decline. Probably he or she would have denied the possibility as a hoax.
Business interestingly is developing some carbon dioxide absorbing technology.
A government might invest in that as well as big oil. That is an irony; big oil is investing in technology to correct the greenhouse gassing issue; a problem it has played a large part in creating. Profit going in and profit going out for oil.

https://www.thisisinsider.com/ray-dalio-says-the-economy-poses-an-existential-threat-for-the-us-2019-4
Actually if the economy were to collapse few would care much about the administration that let it occur. They would be turned out in the next election unless already a lame duck with meager consolation of going home and investing their winnings. Business goes on regardless of the overall state of things. People have sold bread made from wheat horded before a general famine occurred. Politicians often exacerbate problems because they aren’t often good at business and rely on some academic ‘experts’ of one school that wouldn’t find agreement with others. They would deny eternal judgment and hell as an ‘externality’ that extremists are concerned about.
Apparently whatever best benefits the most rich is the policy that government will follow and train the public to accept as the best of all possible economic management.

More Than a Million Illegal Entries to U.S.A. Annually Would Change Things

People may have forgotten about 9-11 that view illegal entrants to the U.S.A. through rose-colored glasses. With the present illegal entry rate at more than one-hundred thousand monthly the border security people are maxed out, and many Democrats call for abandoning border security altogether and to make it an open border.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/04/02/trump-mexican-border-threatened-shutdown-would-raise-avocado-prices/3344041002/

With an open border the population of the U.S.A. probably would rise to one-billion within a decade. A semblance of democracy and ecospheric restoration in the nation would be lost. Taxation to create new infrastructure would take a great leap forward. The overall intellect of the boy politic would decrease amidst the chaos, confusion, crime and a myriad of stresses to the system and individuals.

Democrats may be living in a 19th century though paradigm on borders such that they should be open and open ranges able to absorb the teaming masses are unlimited. There is something unrealistic in their desire that makes some wonder if they are disingenuous in referencing anti-global warming measures as a Democrat legislative goal, since the New Green Deal had a minimum income and medicare for all measure that would attract maybe two billion people to utilize that opportunity.

President Trump should use the military to secure the border until a good security barrier using solar-pumped up saltwater can be desalinated in a security canal with berms and fence. The canals would have thin-film lids that would capture evaporation and condense it making millions of gallons of fresh water for local agriculture on both sides of the border.

Direct Gov Health Care for the Poor Eliminates Fraud, Overruns

A US Gov direct provisioning of health care for the poor and uninsurable would eliminate the fraud and superfluous charges permeating Obamacare and Medicaid. When a dull, insipid government imagine that corporate insurance for all is an efficient or cost effective way to provide health insurance to the poor and uninsurable they are quite spaced.

President Trump should take seriously the idea of a constellation of V.A. and poor person's community clinics as well as volunteer hospitals networked and connected by Musk hypertubes from rural areas (those getting a V.A. sticker validated would ride free) as a replacement for Obamacare. A pure government non-profit treating patients screened by a government status verification and referral agency is simply the best way to cover people realistically. It would also create a large networked system for emergency mass disaster services.

Double and triple billing, addition of unneeded services, hypochondria; there are many ways the middleman private insurance to hospitals and physicians runs up the cost of Obamacare and Medicaid. The idea may be that socialism is avoided by using inefficient means of delivering healthcare, and that is not correct. In fact even the Congress fails to understand the economic philosophy of Adam Smith or capitalism very well, and neither do they understand democracy well enough to know that it is perfectly fine to set reasonable tax rates upon the very rich to prevent them from owning everything through shared financial networks and stocks.

The Congress is remarkably daft these days, although that's the fault of Democrats principally. People are concerned about them.

Create a Sex Accusations 2020 Campaign Review Structure

Former VP Biden's recent accusations of inappropriate sex contacts by two women show the need for a formal review process for sex accusations made during a Presidential campaign--a standing board for investigation, that can be applied whenever those things arise should be established. The committee should wrap up its work two months before the election.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/437107-harris-i-believe-biden-accusers

The Investigations group could have a scoreboard for each candidate to keep track of the number and kind of incidents that are reported. Actually it might serve as a way to compare candidates in various ways, including false accusations.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nancy-pelosi-joe-biden-behavior-not-disqualifying-for-for-2020-election-says-biden-should-pretend-you-have-a-cold/

Accusations true and false and fake news are credited with influencing elections. With the regards so great the temptations arise. Ad hoc processing of accusations are sometimes slow or untimely and are feed for media frenzy that sways elections even when candidates are completely innocent. Accusations that Russians are taking out too many Facebook ads reinforcing trends favorable to there interests, or believed to be favorable are another issue that has been used to influence elections even if they are unimportant instances of influence. The elections investigation committee should perhaps look at that sort of thing too, although not exclusively, simply to determine if it has substance to it in a timely manner.

Combine College Logic and Scientifc Engineering Intro Course

Colleges and Universities might benefit from establishing critical reasoning and applications of ideas courses that combine logic, scientific method and engineering within an introductory course intended to provide college graduates a realistic way of evaluating their own ideas including political ideas before applying them, or trying to apply them to the real world.

The recent Green New Deal fiasco is an example of a half-baked idea that may have had good intentions (or not if it was a Trojan horse for establishing authoritarian socialism). It should have been written up in a book (there are numerous free publishing methods on line) and peer and publicly reviewed, criticized, improved and of course examined to determine its effects upon society; before ever becoming legislation in Congress. A logic and scientific method course for macro-engineering social projects might be useful.

Something does need to be done to rectify capitalism to the ecospheric degradation challenges of the contemporary planetary condition. Modular, synergetic improvement and upgrades using free enterprise are a preferred course for that. Those seeking to repair the world ecosphere also need to find ways to adapt capitalism and free enterprise to democracy better; that is democracy in-itself irrespective of the ecospheric degradation traditionally has problem with over-concentration of wealth, despotism, oligarchy and so forth. Aristotle wrote about that nearly 2500 years ago. People forget history. Adam Smith's ideas about capitalism were liberating in their day, reducing the royal monopoly on trade, today preventing global corporatism and plutocracy that degrades individual democratic power in nations is one challenge. The other challenge is preventing the rise of a global socialist autocratic power of an ostensible egalitarian political environment that in fact is nothing more than authoritarianism by and for an elite inner circle.

Mueller Report Should be Published as a Book

The Trump Administration should try to defrappe the cost of the Mueller Report by selling the report as a paperback for $11.95 and as an ebook for $1.99.  The government cannot continue to just pile up debt for everything the Democrat Party or others want to add on as if there were no tomorrow.

Avocado Party May Be Required to Overthrow Illegal Immigration

Like the Boston Tea Party, Americans may need to throw their foreign sourced avocados overboard when the boarder is shut down with Mexico to stop the emergency level illegal entry into the United States. Mexico is supplying most American avocados this time of year.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/america-would-run-out-of-avocados-in-weeks-if-trump-shuts-border-with-mexico-grower-warns

The avocado party will require austerity from Americans during the harsh spring time of year. Burritos will suffer. Yet Americans will persevere like the revolutionaries did long ago.

https://wkow.com/news/top-stories/2019/03/29/senator-ron-johnson-sides-with-trump-calls-border-out-of-control/

If the border closure goes on for several months F.E.M.A. may enter the dragon's lair and input South American avocados for emergency relief to afflicted communities. National guard units could be activated to help distribute avocados during the national crisis. President Trump will guide the ship of state through troubled waters and avoid a public panic.

Like F.D.R. the President may stimulate the nearly untapped power of American industry to grow the domestic avocado industry several times. Not only California avocados available in May, synthetic guacamole created from soy beans may appear during the crisis.

Converting to Christ

I haven't encountered much discourse with metaphor or analogy for converting to Christ in terms of electricity. Voltage, amps, current, quantity, quality are familiar ideas. God is omnipotent and omniscient. He has created people. Say they are small electrical units or technology that runs on electricity. God is eternal and people aren't. Like tiny mp3 or mp4 players they run down or die, the electrical power exhausted.

So people need a recharge, yet the entire Universe and hardware in it is temporal. It doesn't last and the people have original sin making them implicitly prone to breaking down. To live eternally, and the only acceptable way to do so, is with God. God has a much higher power rating though- infinite in fact. For human salvation a conversion is required for people to be acceptable to God. Jesus Christ is the converter and adapter for humanity.

Through the Lord Jesus Christ human beings have a relationship to God. God in the Lord Jesus is able to scale to human voltage and amp requirements without burning them up.

One may step up 12 volt battery power with an 18 volt converter adapter to recharge a laptop computer. Human beings have no sustainable energy for-themselves and require that God through the Lord and Holy Spirit provides their own being, the energy of it, and the conversion and adaption to the Lord in order to experience eternal life with God.

European Origins of the American Left

Classical liberalism as it is known to the west differs from and is prior to the rise of the left. The left is Marxist while classical liberalism followed Jesus Christ, Adam Smith and free enterprise capitalism for individuals.
Individual freedom and self-directed independence within a nation of free individuals without a legally superior class over them required millenia to develop. The left, and Karl Marx, saw only the hard side of English industrial capitalism with workers thrown off rural farmland and into dirty, dank, polluted factories with long hours, low pay and a vast difference between the poor and rich company owners. The urban struggle for a humane standard of living and work conditions required a couple of centuries to develop in the west. Marxist philosophy and the communist manifesto developed during that period. It was entirely unAmerican and neo-Hegelian.
Karl Marx formalized a theoretical account for human social evolution that was based on conflict and dialectical progress or evolution. Over the 19th and 20th centuries the left added whatever new idea they could to their platform, such as atheism and evolution, as a hardening of their front against capitalism.
Anti-capitalists of the Marxist variety had little experience of the United States and its foundation upon classical liberalism with properties of rights for individuals to be free from adverse interference by the state. Instead they viewed history through the neo-Hegelian evolutionary dialectical lens of class conflict. For quite a lengthy period the United States was made mostly of rural farming people. With industrialization and the rise of a consumer culture people quite farm labor and moved to cities. The American south after the civil war saw quite a number of free former slaves moving north for their own new deal (before FDR’s).
The integration movements in American 20th century culture were piggybacked with anti-capitalist socialist agitators. People like Bernie Sanders were first arrested for protesting against negro discriminatory policies not uncommonly, before any socialist agitation. Anti-war policies in the 1960s and the new left were existential-dialectical neo-utopians disinterested in the military industrial complex. Following TImothy Leary’s maxim they turned on, tuned, in and dropped out. The new left had pacific sentiments without much regard for classical liberalism which they had lost sight of in the midst of white collar conservative, big business, IBM computer, capitalist, big banked urbanism.
With the development of fast transistor chips society and communications went through several economic qualitative technological upgrades. The left were as drawn to computers as formerly were the management corp. The left saw capitalism and big business rather than free enterprise and individualism. The left regarded themselves as individualists and the urban blue collar and white collar workers as tools for the machine, the matrix etc.
Presently the left is without a solid understanding of capitalism, free enterprise or history. As an identity movement of women, homosexuals, and internal proletariats such as Hispanics, the left simply wishes to move in and take over. Socializing business from the top down. Ossifying business at a level of Marxist synthesis for a Corporatism political philosophy including the left, brings the dictatorship of the proletariat into being and eliminates individual sovereignty as the foundation of the United States of America.
Fundamentally the left as an opposition party is incompetent and unable to reform capitalism and free enterprise without socialism (or with it either). The left has no ability to comprehend ecological economics and merge it into free market practices. The left has largely killed the Democrat Party as an opposition party to Republican who are oriented toward allowing the concentration of wealth.
The left cannot bring itself to shed its Marxist orientation and simply study how to make a democracy work effectively for the well-being of all citizens. Leaving no one behind, a contemporary democracy would not hinder individuals from inventing and upgrading personal, private and public sectors investments.
Democracy has all of the tools it needs to reform economic methods and to make them consistent with a healthy ecosystem. There is no need of socialism or communist dictatorship to rectify Adam Smith’s outlook with modern reality. If the left are the Democrat Party and they have abandoned capitalism and finding its limits and capacities for making ordinary life better and survivable ecospherically, they are displacing new party formations with time consuming spoilt political philosophy. If Donald Trump was knowledgeable about ecological economics he would get 25% more votes in the next election. He is not all bad.

Air Force Bungles Base Location Planning

The Air Force wants $5 billion for flood and hurricane damage to bases. Global warming has been well known to science for decades, why can't Air Force base and runway planners factor in reasonable scientific analysis and plan ahead a little. They should build runways in places not prone to global warming or flood damage at least 100 feet above potential flood level.

Superfluous sorts of build in a flood plain federal project financing needs to stop. Global warming is a fact. Look ahead a half century at least and put private sector thinking caps on. Unnecessary financial loss by the military is a military defeat for national security.

https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2019/03/us-air-force-we-need-5-billion-fix-weather-damaged-bases/155863/

Hopefully the dummies won't build a dike around previously flooded runways. They should reopen closed bases that are above flood and hurricane surge levels, and reduce flooded bases to temporary landing pads.

If Demos Promote a Pawn to Queen, Who Wins in 2020?

The Democratic Party is running at minimum five female candidates that hope to be promoted from pawns to Queen in winning the 2020 Presidential election. The question arises; who wins if promoting a pawn is the end-in-itself?

Democrats are a party of identity these days without any solid ideas that are worth taking up four years of the public's time. Not that Republicans have so many, although President Trump has a few solid ideas like getting a moon base going and a man on the moon within five years (via VP Pence). President Trump would deal with the southern border emergency better than a Queen, yet what else has he got?

Democrats have some front ideas about global warming concerns that aren't well formed or packaged. President Trump believes global warming will save on winter building heating costs if it does occur, of which he is doubtful. Neither party can be relied on for good ideas about transitioning to ecological economics. Democratic candidates are vacuous though they would like to pass major ineffective and expensive legislation of great symbolic value.

Democrats have a brave new world platform of identity politics that has all government workers being safe and secure and the public dependent upon them. It is a kind of softer, gentler, feminist communist party utopia united with Mussolini'Hitler business corporatism. It's all bad.

Obamacare is bad, invasive and expensive, yet everyone needs health care sometime. Getting rid of it is good, though Republican replacements would be bad ineffective and leave out the poor. My policy of tripling the V.A. system and uniting it with the nation's homeless clinics to provide free walk-in health care for the poor that are registered and screened by government screening agencies, is actually the least costly and most effective way to deliver health care to those that need it. My policy would require Musk hypertubes connecting cities and homeless clinics nationally so everyone could get to them for free with validated hospital or clinic visit.

It is a fact that non-profit clinic and hospital structures with quality staff (maybe free Medical School for those willing to work ten years in the V.A. system) are the best delivery systems for millions and millions of poor and uninsurable people. Democratic candidates hate a practical idea like it.

Democrats don't really want to reform the patent system so anyone can afford a patent or manufacture patented inventions after three years of inventor exclusivity (and pay the inventor 10% royalties). Democrats don't really want to provide incentives to hire those out of work longest, first. Democrats posture much and work for identity politics where qualification for politics is largely no more than being female, queer, transgender or daughter of immigrants. Democratic President candidates reflect the party's lack of ideas. 

Another Theoretical Paradigm of the Universe



Scientists have exploited Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity to develop a theory of expansion of the Universe from a singularity. Lemaitre developed that theory before quantum mechanics was developed very far. Later after Gamow, and then Guth expanded the paradigm adding inflation unto it, Tegmark decided that the entire big bang, inflation, expansion paradigm might be based in pure mathematics. Mathematics led to a theory of mind at the heart of everything with the steady state of matter decohered from the quantum realm with symmetry-breaking enabled with mind.

Sure one may postulate a universal mind that coagulates or precipitates mass in a phenomenal spot that becomes a singularity with clusters of mass and energy forming around it decohered from the perfect ocean of mind. There is a simpler way to approach the subject of how or where mass and energy appear in the Universe from virtually nowhere. One may use the General Theory parameters to describe mechanics of expansion of mass in a gravitational field given a certain endowment of initial energy poshing outward. One may also hypothesize that the quantum realm hasn't a necessary delimitation restricting it to the singularity position 1 contiguous field of being. Instead it may decohere outside the contiguous field with any topographic geometry (such as a circular) to interact with the initial Universe singularity field mass-energy.

If the all-possible world lines positions of quanta arisen from Universal Mind may enter a Universe mass-energy field at any place according to the designer’s will or intent, it would be understandable that gravity from locations beyond the known mass energy field of Universe1 could draw Universe 1 content toward it at an accelerating pace. Virtual particles decohered from any place might appear like rain soaking through a porous membrane.

Time doesn't exist in the quantum realm supporting the steady state of decohered mass Universe-clump at all, or if it does, in a one to one relative equivalence. It may enter the Universe forward or backward in the Universe 1 time without concern except for the designer’s, with it’s non-temporal super-positions.

Quantitative meta-structure super-positioned effects interacting from beyond the contiguous, physical Universe may have natural explanations too, though they arise from a mind field or field from an undefined source. It may be possible that quantitative super-positioning may displace 

The quantum realm in its own time/timeless way of change, creating temporary voids. Past Universe 1 expansion events may cause 'dark energy events' elsewhen indirectly, because of the voids created in the realm of all possible super-positioning decoherence. Virtual gravity may temporarily present.

It is interesting to think about.

All-Female Identity Politics in Space

N.A.S.A. has delayed a spacewalk by an all-female team- no transgenders there apparently, putting on hold the start of identity politics in space. It was a clever idea bringing identity politics to space. After an all-female team an all-negro team of space-walkers followed by all-Hispanic could bring in more voters to continue the program.

An all-queer team perhaps is some way down the space-out program for N.A.S.A.

https://www.khou.com/article/features/nasa-clarifies-why-it-put-all-female-spacewalk-on-hold/285-a1856344-1330-40fa-94cc-6866dae7a6d0

If 50% of astronauts have herpes virus, the thrills of space-walking may be tempered with the sober realism of disease.

It could be that Democrat Presidential candidates have tricks up their sleeves such as all-godless atheist spacewalking synchronization teams, all new green deal spacewalking teams while Donald Trump may field an all-Christian space-walking team. What about sending lotto winners to moon-walk in space?
