LLAW’s “ALL THINGS NUCLEAR” #486 (12/20/2023)
”End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity
LLAW’s COMMENTS TONIGHT
Tonight, for several reasons, I am reposting my nightly Post from November 21 (two days before my 82nd birthday) last month for those several reasons that seem to be more important, if not the only possibilities, for the last minute rescue of humanity and other life on planet Earth.
This Post will reinforce my long held belief that if humanity is to save itself and will also provide my readers with more information regarding why I so strongly feel this way. It will also allow me to condense my range of Posts, allowing me to concentrate on the precise issues I see as essential to avoid the 6th Extinction (which could well arrive before even the first full step is ever taken in realm of “getting serious” about saving ourselves from both nuclear weapons and nuclear power (radiation from nuclear fallout) and fossil fuel power (asphyxiation from CO2 and other greenhouse gasses). This will allow me to leave the current news (also Posted nightly) concerning our grave situation from “All Things Nuclear” for your own reading and concerns for what is clearly happening from day to day. So the race between survival and extinction is presented here as current events and also as future events — the future events being a study and understanding that there is only one way to turn this self-created doomsday around in time to accomplish a last ditch effort for survival.
There are three elements to my plan for survival, and they will require total cooperation and yet both individual and collective effort from virtually the entire world(s)’ population. Otherwise we will perish very soon or someday not far down the road. The days of ‘dear leaders’, political decisions, military concepts, and personal insurrection and their universal ‘empty promises and agreements’ are over because human history has proven forever that they don’t work, The three main issues that I will concentrate and write about include my own and others’ views concerning how to go about the basics of surviving (I call it the “Blue Print”) to forever rid ourselves of “All Things Nuclear”, and all burning of both fossil fuels and radioactive uranium (which is also a fossil fuel). Secondly there is the time factor, and time is of the essence. Third is a the mass movement of humanity to save ourselves from extinction by continuing on down the trail of life to live as selfish and greedy independent individuals to the extent that such things as corporate capitalism, war and other subversion among our species, and a world-wide communal effort to turn around and go back the other way in order to survive. We know what is wrong; we just don’t have the initiative to admit it, and by doing so, force ourselves to cooperate as a common world-wide society, which is what we should have been doing from day one. Everyone must understand that we are “one”.
If we can’t manage a universal co-op way of life in all our dealings with one another, we can forget about it . . . ~llaw

LLAW’s COMMENTARY:
[Why Yellowstone is a bonus Post to this “All Things Nuclear” Nightly Production. It and others could be a way out if we act soon enough.]
To my way of thinking, the Yellowstone Caldera (and others around the planet) may be by far the best chance to foil doomsday, as the ultimately successful solution to forging ahead, forgetting about the world-wide fear of nuclear weapons and nuclear power, as well as fossil fuels and their greenhouse gas global warming effect. It is incorporated into my “Blue Print” plan for destroying all things nuclear “Management”.
As for the Yellowstone Caldera and all the rest of them having their own life-ending potential, at least their devastating capability is not created by the activity of our human selves, and there is also the caveat concerning the ability to cool and control the destructive power of calderas by harnessing and using their natural power production that would reduce their potential to ‘boil over’, making them safer in the long run than we currently believe. Their collective power could comfortably provide enough electricity for the entire planet forever. Yellowstone alone could well support electrical power plants all over both of the American continents for hundreds of years. And there are others, such as the Long Valley caldera in western California, less than 800 miles southwest of Yellowstone. There are also several large calderas in South America. And the largest one of all is located in the Philippines. There are dozens of others around the world, some more active than Yellowstone. And harnessing them for power generation is much easier than one would tend to think. Yellowstone provides an example of how power generation could work by tapping the ready-made steam of calderas that could provide the heat to create electricity all by themselves. I will provide that video in a future Post of “All Things Nuclear”. You can also track it down yourself is you’ve a mind to, which might whet your interests by making the effort to broaden your scope and knowledge of our harrowing world crises from all things nuclear to its cousins, the other fossil fuels.
What follows is a brief primer considering the potential of developing the Yellowstone caldera and other similar calderas to provide all the electrical power we could ever need, and by doing so perhaps saving us in two ways from the 6th Extinction . . .
The following article by Dr. Thomas F. Arciuolo, gives us reinforcing look that the Earth’s human world(s)might well be able to get along without any fossil fuels, including uranium (nuclear fuel). The cooling affect of volcanic activity in the calderas might also allow us to live without fear of devastation from calderas such as the Yellowstone. The question is, though, can humanity buy into such an effort rather than go to war and more wars over who controls the potential natural energy production, needing only a delivery grid system. Could we possibly come together and create a global free energy program without letting greed and greenbacks get in the way? ~llaw
Supervolcano Could Solve the Climate and Energy Crises

SHARE THIS ARTICLE: Yellowstone Caldera Supervolcano: A Solution to the Climate and Energy Crises
Scientists propose a new and revolutionary method to harness the Yellowstone’s supervolcano., and generate enough electricity to power the American continent.
With the dawn of the 3rd decade of the 21st century, humanity is embarking on a 2nd Renaissance.”
— Dr. Thomas F. Arciuolo
MILFORD, CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The climate crisis poses a major threat to human civilization. Burning fossil fuels to generate energy is the primary cause of this crisis, due to greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, our energy requirements are expected to grow significantly in the future, as would be expected.
At the same time, we face another great crisis. Underneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming lies a powerful supervolcano, which has the guaranteed potential for an eruption that will be catastrophic to the entire world.
Researchers Dr Thomas Arciuolo and Dr Miad Faezipour propose a solution to these problems, by harnessing the mighty energy reserve within the Yellowstone Supervolcano to generate clean, emission-free energy.
The team’s proposed technology would generate phenomenal amounts of electricity – enough to power the entire American continent. Their plan would also cool the supervolcano’s magma chamber, preventing a super-eruption. NASA has predicted that cooling the magma by just 35% would prevent such a calamity. The project would also generate thousands of jobs and ensure energy-independence for the USA.
(Note: Concerning jobs creation, the total number of jobs lost would far outdistance the new jobs created. However, there would be thousands upon thousand of alternative jobs created by getting rid of all things nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants, mining reclamation, and ancillary supportive occupations ~llaw)
The proposed copper-based, volcanic energy harvesting technology has the potential to produce triple the USA’s predicted energy requirements for 2050. The excess power could be sold to other countries on the American continent for profit, and to fund the facility’s construction.
Arciuolo and Faezipour’s pioneering technology has been fully simulated, to prove that its methodology is both practical and efficient. The use of volcanoes to generate power has already proved successful in Iceland and Hawaii.
Harvesting energy from Yellowstone’s supervolcano would provide safer and more dependable power than any form of energy used today, including solar, wind, and nuclear. The team’s technology would not only generate huge profits, but it would also prevent a catastrophic eruption, while significantly mitigating the climate crisis and meeting the American continent’s energy needs for the years and centuries to come.
This technology could be adopted globally by other nations to provide a world-wide solution to climate change and energy production.
