The problem with cheap gas and oil is that they brake the investments in new energy sources.




The main problem with the warming of the atmosphere is the use of fossil fuels. If fossil fuels or fossil energy sources are replaced, using some other energy source like hydrogen that is produced by clean energy will decrease carbon dioxide emission. 

But the problem is that the new energy sources like geothermal energy, wave and tide energy, wind and solar energy require new investments. The thing that gives brakes to those investments is the cheap fossil fuel. The investments that the new energy sources require are causing the rise in the price of energy. 

The Ukrainian crisis is opening the people's eyes that the Russian government can use its energy weapon against the West. That means the cheap oil and natural gas are not enticed to invest in some kind of green energy. That thing is the weapon in the hands of the deliverer of the energy source. When we are looking at history we should remember the oil crisis. 

The Ukrainian situation can cause a new "oil crisis". Gas and oil are effective tools in the hands of the people, who want to use them to drive their political goals. 

The reason for the oil crisis was that in 1973 the OPEC or Arabic nations that were members of OPEC decided to increase the price of oil, and tried to force the USA and its allies to stop the military aid to Israel. The reason why Arabs have so many friends is that they are controlling a very large part of the oil rigs of the world. The Islamic revolution in Iran was the reason for the second oil crisis in 1979. The leaders of the Muslim oil producers wanted to help their "Islamic brothers". 

The 1979 oil crisis caused the situation that outside nations didn't want to intervene in Iran's internal political situation. 

And that raised Khomeini to power. The fear was that OPEC will stop oil delivery to NATO. And that was the reason why Khomeini got power in Iran. Relationships between Iran and other Islamic nations are sometimes very cold. 

The oil crisis should warn the world about the scenario that governments can use their oil and energy weapons against countries. That is determined "hostile". Maybe Putin waits for the next winter when Europe needs the energy to start to use that energy weapon. If we would use green energy we would not face that kind of problem.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
