Russia’s energy infrastructure attacks are depopulating Ukraine

International human rights groups have decried Russia’s most recent attacks, calling them a violation of international humanitarian law. Meanwhile, the United Nations’ Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said Russia’s indiscriminate attacks on Ukraine’s #energy infrastructure throughout the war may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

In addition to the military advantages afforded by decimating Ukraine’s power systems, Russia is using these attacks to de-populate Ukraine

How not to use your time as an energy superpower

#environment #energy #resource #future

As you know (especially if you’ve read the book) I’ve come recently to think that energy is more or less everything.

It’s certainly everywhere. All economic activity is, one way or another, a form of deploying energy to do stuff. Yet we typically understate the importance of energy to modern economics.

Wow! This is amazing. Imagine getting a visual of the bio-mechanical processes in our cell. How enzymes and molecules interact with each other. Gosh this is awesome to look at.
The channel WEHImovies that produces all these superb videos for education is: https://invidious.private.coffee/channel/UCdBrXvlJn60zgpIQcZ0Fe7w there is lots of cool films showing (and explaining/narrating) the inside of the cell and all the weird things and processes that goes on on the quantum level. Magnified x10,000,000 times gives a unique look.

I want to take a deeper look at the visualization of the energy production process in our organelle the mitochondria, step by step. This is the Cellular Respiration and metabolism process of how we make energy.

1) Glycolysis
The Glycolysis pathway process. This is the anaerobic pathway (no oxygen involved) where glucose sugar get broken down into two units of pyruvate: https://invidious.private.coffee/watch?v=1VrRl0UTlA8

2) Pyruvate Oxidation (also called Pyruvate decarboxylation)
This is an aerobic process. Here the pyruvate get converted to Acetyl-CoA by the enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase complex: https://invidious.private.coffee/watch?v=EuvUOxHmX7I

3) Citric Acid Cycle (also called Krebs cycle (after Hans Adolf Krebs who identified the process) or Tricarboxylic Acid cycle)
An eight step process and central driver of cellular respiration. Here the Acetyl-CoA, fatty acids and amino acids enter the cycle and goes through a series of chemical reactions that create 2 units of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphorate), CO2, NADH and FADH2 (both are coenzymes). Carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct which we need to expel through breathing (the main reason why we breath, to expel CO2, we usually have ample of oxygen in us): https://invidious.private.coffee/watch?v=aV-kI_ep1Rk

4) Electron Transport Chain
During the electron transport chain high-energy electrons are transferred from molecules such as NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, with the energy released being used to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This creates a proton gradient, which drives the synthesis of 34-38 units of ATP by the enzyme ATP synthase. Fun fact, that little nano motor unit (ATP Synthase) spins around at about 7800rpm: https://invidious.private.coffee/watch?v=nmoLoiFakxY

5) Oxidative Phosphorylation
During oxidative phosphorylation, ATP is produced as a result of the transfer of electrons through the electron transport chain. One key difference between oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain is that oxidative phosphorylation specifically refers to the production of ATP through the coupling of electron transport and ATP synthesis. This process involves the combination of electrons, protons and oxygen molecule that produce water as a byproduct.

"The 248 page patent for the Moderna technology that was administered to people in the COVID shots was filed in 2020. The patent lists several embodiments, or variations, of this technology. And while we don’t know who got what embodiment, we know that several different batch numbers were deployed. And some were far more deadly than others.

According to the Moderna patent, this technology contains self-assembled nanoparticles. And in certain variations these nanoparticles can be used for the controlled release of compounds once they are in the human body. These lipid nanoparticles are encapsulated into a polymer hydrogel, a controlled release coating that includes polyvinyls. This has been verified by Ana Mihalcea and Clifford Carnicom’s research.

In a 2013 TEDMED talk, Dr. Ido Bachelet says that these nano robots have already been successfully developed in Israel. And that they can be injected into the body with a basic syringe. He shows an image of what they look like, and they appear to be the same structures that the Fifth Column found in their research and claimed was powered by 5G, which was confirmed by Dr. Bachelet.

“My team developed nano-robots that carry antenna. These antenna are made from metal nanoparticles. Now the antenna enable the nanobots to respond to externally applied electromagnetic fields. So these version of nanobots can actually be activated with a press of a button on a joystick.” ~ Dr. Ido Bachelet

In the following video it is being discussed by developers in 2015.

The nano-robot we designed and fabricated is a machine that can be programmed to autonomously recognize target cells and deliver payloads to those cells. ~ Dr. Ido Bachelet So the basic idea is to make a cage or a basket that protects a fragile, or toxic, or precious payload, and only releases it when it's at the right moment. ~ George Church The nano-robot that we designed actually looks like an open ended barrel or a clam-shell that has two halves. So the two halves of this open ended barrel or clam-shell are linked together by flexible DNA hinges, and the entire structure is held shut by latches or locks that are actually DNA double helixes. The way it works is that, in the absence of the key, which is a molecule or protein, the duplexes are held sufficiently strong to maintain the entire structure closed. But when the key is present, that piece of DNA that we designed to recognize that key, switches to bind to that key and the duplex zips open. ~ Dr. Ido Bachelet

The work of Todd Callender’s team at vaxxchoice.com have concluded that these shots contain a variety of synthetic pathogens that can be released with external 5G frequencies. The Moderna patent describes these nanoparticle mimics, which mimic the delivery of a variety of pathogens and lists over a hundred of them within the patent.

And according to the work at vaxxchoice, these synthetic pathogens each have an IP address, they are cataloged by the Department of Energy, and they use Caesium-137, which we have been contaminated with from the environment, as a building block for their construction within our bodies using external frequency. And their research shows that the Microsoft patent filed in 2020, 060606 cryptocurrency system using body activity data, is now in effect and that this technology is turning the human body into an antenna which can output energy. Meaning that humans are being turned into batteries to fuel the digital A.I. prison that is being built around us. And if you choose not to comply, the technology includes a kill switch.

Thanks to many independent researchers and scientists, we are figuring out their agenda. But they continue to walk freely among us, unrestrained by any justice whatsoever."

"How a solar revolution in farming is depleting the world's groundwater."

"There is a solar-powered revolution going on in the fields of India. By 2026, more than 3 million farmers will be raising irrigation water from beneath their fields using solar-powered pumps. With effectively free water available in almost unlimited quantities to grow their crops, their lives could be transformed. Until the water runs out."

"The desert state of Rajasthan is the Indian pioneer and has more solar pumps than any other. Over the past decade, the government has given subsidized solar pumps to almost 100,000 farmers. Those pumps now water more than a million acres and have enabled agricultural water use to increase by more than a quarter. But as a result, water tables are falling rapidly."

The main source for energy is wind energy only in a few countries like Spain and Lithuania. Mostly the main source aren`t regenerative at all. I like this graphic because it visualizes what we have to change.

Out riding the motorcycle and taking the long scenic way into work. This is the hydroelectric dam up the river from my house. If I wasn't off grid solar this is where my electricity would come from. But I like having the reliability of solar in case the storms knock out the transmission lines which always happens.

This energy may be green energy, but the trash burning electric plant a city away negates this so much. Yes that city burns trash. And has advertising on large billboards pretending it's a great thing. Not cool. And I can smell it.

"South Korea's HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering plans to develop a small modular reactor for use in shipping in cooperation with the UK's Core Power and the USA's Southern Company and TerraPower."

We know there are nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers. How you you all feel about nuclear powered container ships?

"The shipping industry consumes some 350 million tonnes of fossil fuel annually and accounts for about 3% of total worldwide carbon emissions. In July last year, the shipping industry, via the International Maritime Organization, approved new targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions, aiming to reach net-zero emissions by or around 2050."

"There is no net-zero without nuclear."

"In January this year, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Lloyd's Register, Zodiac Maritime, Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering and Kepco Engineering & Construction for the development of nuclear-propelled ship designs, including bulk carriers and container ships."

"The reactor to be jointly developed centres around TerraPower's Molten Chloride Fast Reactor design. The technology uses molten chloride salt as both reactor coolant and fuel, allowing for so-called fast spectrum operation which the company says makes the fission reaction more efficient. It operates at higher temperatures than conventional reactors, generating electricity more efficiently, and also offers potential for process heat applications and thermal storage. An iteration of the Molten Chloride Fast Reactor -- known as the m-MSR -- intended for marine use is being developed by TerraPower."
