New York's Future Commercial Nuclear Reactors

ESA and Ending the War in Ukraine

by Marcel F. Williams 

Ukraine will never be truly safe from Russian aggression unless its under the nuclear umbrella of a friendly nation or nations. Unfortunately, that can't be the US since Trump initially called Putin's invasion of Ukraine "Genius!" while continuing to exhibit hostility towards Ukraine.

So Ukraine will need security guarantees from Britain and France who are both nuclear armed nations. 

France, the UK, and Germany also need to immediately send in 1000 troops each to protect the three nuclear power plants in Ukraine still under Ukrainian control. For the environmental safety of Europe and for Russia, these nuclear facilities need to be protected-- non war zones. 

The UK and Europe also need to immediately start releasing $10 billion a month of Russian assets under their control to Ukraine until Russia returns all kidnapped Ukrainian children and returns all Ukrainian territory-- including Crimea-- and stops bombing Ukrainian territory. This will allow Ukraine to easily by arms from the Europe, the US, Canada, and other friendly nations.

Europe and the UK also need to start integrating Ukraine into various European organizations before finally admitting Ukraine to the EU. 

ESA (the European Space Agency) should be the first agency to admit Ukraine as a member, IMO.  Ukraine has a long history of experience with launching and developing space rockets including such ventures as the Sea Launch program. 

But ESA should insist that Ukraine pay $5 billion a year to be part of the space agency for at least the next ten years. This will help ESA finance a European Starlink service launched from French Guiana. France could also make a deal with Ukraine, to supply Ukraine with nuclear submarines France originally wanted to supply to Australia before Australia decided to get them instead from the US. 

Ukraine is a nation of nearly 40 million people that feeds more than 400 million people around the world.  So Ukraine will need a strong navy to protect its territory and its cargo ships needed to feed the world's hungry.

Global Warming and the Mitigation of Fires in California

by Marcel F. Williams

The surface of the Earth has always been a dangerous place for humans to live on: dangerous floods during exceptional rainfall near mountains or rivers, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires, dry grass fires, etc.  

And now that fossil fuels have created an artificial Pliocene atmosphere, its probably going to take nearly the rest of the century to restore the Earth's atmosphere back to normal Holocene temperatures by gradually transitioning from a fossil fuel economy to a carbon neutral energy economy. 

So California is simply going to have to adapt to increasing temperatures. 

Dry foliage, including dead trees, near urbanized areas is going to have to be aggressively harvested and converted into useful hydrocarbons through pyrolysis for the production of carbon neutral fuels and synthetic materials. 

Desalination and extraction of water directly from the atmosphere is going to have to be mandated in order for there to be adequate amounts of water for domestic urban use and to fight fires. Such water sources are too expensive for farming-- but they're not too expensive for utilization by urbanites. 

It would probably be a good idea to encourage swimming pools to be added to new housing in areas prone to heat waves, a large home water source that the fire department or resident can use-- as a last resort-- to possibly preserve a home from fire damage. And swimming pools, of course, add economic value to your estate.
