Sunday Silliness: Trumped oil

“It is almost as if Millennials are clueless about Socialism”
I would guess not so, as most would like to retire at 18 under a parents roof or on Bernie’s dole with lots of free stuff. Support of Illegals &immigrants obviously won’t hurt their tax payer supported lifestyle and provides a venue for activity and the corrupt corporate world loves that part of their psyche for the cheap and sometimes cash only labor. I sometimes believe that they create extreme PC/safe spaces/micro insults &crybullying strictly for entertainment & to relieve boredom. Unfortunately the rest of us mostly have to live with it. Probably most of them are eventually going to be working street corners when the parents & politicians wise up. The major upside is that this group can in no way be competitive in the real world of jobs or business leadership, so those with greater common sense will have a distinct advantage for the better positions.

“Unless somebody can prove something to me, I believe there’s weather. I believe there’s change,” Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt in September. ”
And that the view of most American and large amount of the rest of the world.
The only thing required is looking at polls of what people think are important matters- and “climate change” or “global warming” are not it.
But, though it’s probably unlikely, it’s possible that evidence of humans effecting the global climate could occur in the future.
And one could have issues related to human activity affecting regions of the world’s climate.
So all this is telling me, is the Trump is generally informed about the issue and does not pay lip service
to the lefty crazies [if there was a larger part the population of true believers- or part of his base of supporters believed, he might state it in less definite terms].
I would guess it’s the media hysteria about global warming which is part of reason he has a low opinion of the media. Which again is a common perceived problem of the Media. Or WUWT is a very popular website regarding issues related to climate change- for good reason, the lack of good reporting about
climate issues.

I said “Such as rocket fuel market in space. Settlements on Mars. Etc”.
To explain further.
The government policy related to this, is explore the Moon to determine if and where there is minable
lunar water at lunar poles. And in regards to Mars settlements, explore Mars to determine if and where
human settlement on Mars could be most viable.
The lunar water can be split to make rocket fuel [liquid hydrogen and oxygen]. A possible price of rocket fuel on the lunar surface could be around $1000 per kg for LOX and $4000 per kg of Liquid Hydrogen.
And within a decade such prices could be halved. And within 50 years such prices could 1/10th or less.
But without lower by half or 1/10th, such prices would reduce the cost of going to the Moon by 1/2 or less and it lower the cost of a NASA Mars exploration which determine whether human settlement on Mars is viable.
The government does not pay for lunar mining or Mars settlement, rather it does the exploration that allows this to be possible or to be considered worth the private investment to do such activities.
And within 50 years of finishing such exploration, people on Earth could getting energy harvested from the Space environment transmitted from space to anywhere on the Earth surface.
Or 50 to 60 year after one has a market for rocket fuel in space. So one converting electrical power into the chemical energy of rocket fuel, and this makes a market for electrical power in space, and once this electrical grows and matures as market, one can export this electrical energy [which has been made cheaper per kwh in space] to the earth surface.Or at the moment the price of electrical power in space is too expensive, but it could become dramatically cheaper by creating a electrical market in space.
Or roughly at time people are settling Mars, one will have electrical power harvested in space and shipped to earth surface- about 50 to 60 years from now- if we start now, exploring the Moon, and etc.
And such exploration could cost no more than we are currently spending on so called space exploration- it’s a change of policy, rather than increase of money spent by government- of course the private sector would be significantly increasing the amount it invests in space markets- but that would involve making profits- making money, rather than spending public money.

The US produces more oil than it consumes these days, and has since 2013 – so you folks are already independent.
