Coal to Fill China’s Nuclear Gap

Posted on by

“China aims to raise its nuclear capacity to 200 gigawatts by 2030, from only 14.6 gigawatts last year. But it probably won’t reach that goal, energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie forecast —which will offer opportunities for coal mining companies to make up the power shortfall.  Technology constraints, inadequate infrastructure for uranium-fuel fabrication and disposal, public opposition to inland nuclear plants, and shortages of qualified personnel all mean a more realistic nuclear capacity in 2030 will be 175 gigawatts.  One shorter-term clean-energy target—increasing natural gas to 10% of the power mix by 2020, from about 5% last year—might be achievable.”

China Plans Ban on Imports of Coal With High Ash, High Sulfur

Posted on by

“China plans to ban imports of coal with high-ash and high-sulfur content as the nation seeks to limit the dirtiest fuels to fight pollution.  The world’s largest coal consumer will encourage imports of higher-quality supplies, according to Ren Lixin, the head of the coal division at the National Energy Administration. The NEA has drafted different versions of plans since last May. A previous draft proposed limiting imports of lignite with a heating value lower than 4,540 kilocalories per kilogram, more than 1 percent sulfur and ash higher than 25 percent. China imported a record 330 million metric tons of coal last year. Overseas purchases may fall this year as the nation tries to meet energy-saving targets.”

U.N. Urged to Treat Medical Marijuana As Human Right

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“The elite’s support of legal cannabis makes the prospects of industry participation a good deal more attractive, one reason High Alert has financially partnered with a cannabis company. From a larger perspective, the evident support of elite globalists for cannabis proves out a major analytical point of ours – that elite backing of various industries is still a most valuable endorsement. Chances are that marijuana is the first drug to be removed from the war on drugs but not the last. This is because the top elites are apparently in search of ‘problems’ that demand a global solution.”

Oklahoma medical marijuana petition drive underway for November

Posted on by

“There’s a new push to legalize medical marijuana in Oklahoma. Supporters went door-to-door Monday afternoon in Norman to help get the needed signatures to get a proposal on the November ballot. They need more than 155,000 signatures from registered voters, and they’ve only got 90 days to get them.  ‘I talked to the legislature back in February. Nobody would hear the bill; nobody would even talk to us about it, so we are taking it to the people,’ said Norma Sapp, one of the supporters asking for signatures on Monday.  The 90-day period to get the signatures needed ends in mid-August. You can find more information here: Http://legalizeok.org/”

States Ask Feds for Bigger Budgets to Fix Obamacare Exchanges

Posted on by

“Few states have embraced the ideas behind the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with more enthusiasm than Maryland and Massachusetts, which adopted many of them years before the passage of the federal law. But the two now find themselves trying to fix their malfunctioning health insurance exchanges and seeking federal approval to spend more money to do so.  When states first applied for what are called Establishment Grants to build their online marketplaces, they had to predict the costs. Going over those costs requires them to resubmit plans to spend money that would have either returned to the federal government or gone to future changes.”

DC Will Tax Non-Participating Insurers To Pay For Obamacare Exchange

Posted on by

“Washington, D.C. will tax all insurers selling policies to district residents to fund the city’s Obamacare exchange.  The plan was proposed by DC Health Link, D.C.’s exchange. The city’s health care law marketplace was allotted $133 million in federal grants to launch, but was expected to be sustainable via a flat tax placed on each insurance plan sold through the marketplace.  When taxing those buying insurance didn’t turn out to be as lucrative as Congress had hoped, D.C. began to look at taxing those selling insurance instead. The exchange reportedly opted to tax all insurers, including those who deliberately chose to stay out of the risky Obamacare exchange, to lower the cost per-insurance company.”

Activists Disrupt Construction of New UK Nuclear Weapons Factory

Posted on by

“The government will vote in 2016 to decide whether to invest in the UK’s Trident nuclear weapon system for another 30 years.  Operated by a consortium of Jacobs Engineering Group, Lockheed Martin and Serco, AWE Burghfield plays an integral part in the final assembly and maintenance of nuclear warheads for use in the Trident system. In 2011 Peter Luff, the then Minister for Defence Equipment, announced £2 billion of spending for redevelopment of the Burghfield and Aldermaston weapons factories. The total spending on Weapons of Mass Destruction in the UK will soar to over £100 Billion should the government take the decision to renew Trident in 2016.”

Underestimate the Internet at Your Peril

Posted on by

“A decade ago we predicted that the mainstream media was a failed ‘sunk cost’ that kept people like Rupert Murdoch up at night. But the metamorphosis is even bigger than that. What we have also predicted is that the same sort of radical undermining is now beginning to infect the rest of the West’s gigantism. Big Finance, Big Politics, even Big Justice are all going to come under significant challenge in the next few years. In fact, it is already happening. Western governments – especially the US – are arming themselves against this occurrence, but bullets are useless against ideas … and the ideas that we are reporting on are fairly unstoppable until they run their course.”

Europe’s Unraveling Is Not Political but Technological

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“The EU and the euro are facilities of globalism and those globalists that have pursued the project for so long are loath to let it die. It is important, even integral to their plans for worldwide political and socio-economic control. This is [why] Hollande and other leaders do not break away from Brussels’s destructive policies. They don’t because they cannot. They are not, in fact, representing their citizens but are evidently beholden to the same tiny elite that created the EU to begin with.  The increasing decline in EU’s economies bodes ill for the longevity of the EU experiment. It is the Internet itself that is making it difficult for the power elite to control the narrative the way it did in the 20th century.”

Europe Sinks … As Predicted

Posted on by

“The headlines exploded last night with EU election results showing clearly that voters in France, England, Germany, Denmark, Hungary and Greece (among others) had had enough of the EU.What happens when a vast network of seamless information begins to inform people of the Matrix-like reality of their lives? What happens when people have access to unadulterated news and information over a relatively long period of time? Inevitably, it has an effect. As we predicted, the tribes of Europe are getting restless. These tribes were happy to take the cash when the EU was handing it out. But now, stuck with austerity and open borders, they are a good deal less content.”
