A little more of this might help you.
This type or possibly very similar type of power plant was built in US southwest late 1980's. Also place I worked at early 80's did some photovoltaic device testing. Both systems showed some possibility of adaptation. So China is developing and possibly Morocco or that region.

Thorium is a rare metal, and would be too costly to acquire at the moment to be a feasible energy source for cities.
Sounds like you try and get to the nitty gritty of things. So, where in the world are Thorium deposits. I recall a bit of the history when the Curies were first experimenting and the great difficulty of separating materials. If China or any countries with good ties to China have Thorium deposits that would be interesting to know. I wonder if information regarding Thorium is even accurate. Did you pay any attention to the Enron fiasco?

passive solar design

earth mass homes

the other thing is you can make your own oil. Just need a giant press.

Most energy is already renewable, its just people are too lazy to walk or they are in too much of a hurry and consequently consume and waste more energy than they really need on things that dont even matter.

I agree I'm pretty old and disabled. I have an acre that we mow around our house. The thing is if I clean the spark plug and air filter. check the oil and fill the gas(oh and take off the carburetor once or twice a year to clean it) then after I pull and pull until it cranks up I'm usually out of breath and have to kill it and rest until I catch my breath. Several years ago I thought to myself all this modern mess is for the birds and went back to the old school reel mowers https://www.scotts.com/en-us/products/tools-accessories/scotts-elite-16-reel-push-mower we bought two of them that were marked down. I take one and my wife gets the other and we take our lawn chairs and move them ahead of us and then push the mowers back and forth until we get to the chairs and sit down. They don't weigh as much as a gas mower with a motor because they don't have a motor and you gotta push both right? So your either pushing an 80 pound gas mower that you gotta fight with or a 20 pound reel mower that a man in his 80's and his wife can mow an acre with and it looks like a golf course.

If Earth warms up, it should take thousands of years per degree, not 50 years per degree.
Rubbia further proposed the concept of an energy amplifier, a novel and safe way of producing nuclear energy exploiting present-day accelerator technologies, which is actively being studied worldwide in order to incinerate high activity waste from nuclear reactors, and produce energy from natural thorium and depleted uranium. In 2013 he proposed building a large number of small-scale thorium power plants[18]

Rubbia was principal Scientific Adviser of CIEMAT (Spain), a member of the high-level Advisory Group on global warming set up by EU's President Barroso in 2007 and of the board of trustees at the IMDEA Energy Institute. In 2009–2010, he was Special Adviser for Energy to the Secretary General of ECLAC, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America, based in Santiago (Chile). In June 2010, Rubbia has been appointed Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies in Potsdam (Germany). He is a member of the Italy-USA Foundation. During his term as President of ENEA (1999–2005) he has promoted a novel method for concentrating solar power at high temperatures for energy production, known as the Archimede Project, which is being developed by industry for commercial use.

Most of the hoopla about fossil fuels is sort-of like the new sneakers. Just as soon as everyone see's the new ones on TV and that fad is born,,,well all wisdom goes out the window and everyone's just got to have a pair or else face ridicule and shame...

This is the walker that I walk through our two gardens with(think about it now,lol) old man with a walker,old man with a walker? Pictures always help...

Your tool collection looks nice. Probably usable too.

Mankind has nothing to do with climate change. It is a natural cycle of the planet to have changes such as these, and even to the extreme, like the ice age. The arrogance of man to think we can effect God's creation! The elites use this as a means of control. The evil one's plan.

We as a species could try with all our might to destroy this earth, exploding EVERY nuclear device we have, and the earth would live on. Arrogance.

i do have a lot of old tools but that's not my collection. The old man in the overalls pushing the push cultivator(the photo on the page) I have one similar to it,had it for years. It's really no different from walking behind a walker. You can just walk behind it up and down the rows holding the handles and the cultivator rake dislodges the roots of the weeds growing between the rows. Push it little,stop and look around, push it a little and dig the tines into the dirt and it stands there by it's self and you can pick that ripe tomato and put it in your pocket and then push it a little more. In our heads it seems a lot of work but if you think abut it it's just a walker that gets rid of the weeds.

Control is all with God. My idea may not be just right but seems that Jesus is in control. John was inspired to write that Jesus is the Creator. All power was given to Jesus by His Father. As we are created in God's image, seems that father's like to pass on to offspring control and hopes and dreams.

And then again like in Malachi 4:1 and other Scriptures God himself might just be warming things up... https://www.openbible.info/topics/god_will_destroy_earth_by_fire

What is the evil in this world? Was not the father of lies loosed upon this earth?

“For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
Could be as temperatures increase relates to a burning oven.

I am new to chat platforms. Can you please explain how to "grab" a specific quote from a post? Like you did with mine?

you can pick that ripe tomato
How is your sense of taste? Maybe 15 years ago at a friends place he gave me just picked in his garden tomato and like hot house tomato had no flavor. I could hardly believe it. Probably GMO hybrid. Never did ask him about it since I took the tomato and didn't taste it till later and forgot about it. Some place in Minnesota maybe has heritage seeds.
