In a nutshell only tonight, this meme may plainly explain quite clearly what it is I am trying to get across to humanity about nuclear war and all other things nuclear, and why some nations’ leaders are power crazy enough to intentionally destroy the world(s) simply out of some self-aggrandizing belief that he is a one-man hubristic superpower beyond an unknown god of some kind. We ought to be wondering how it is that we of common life and common sense allow such men to find a way to have power over the millions and billions of the rest of us. And then we should put a stop to it before it’s too late. Every lost day increases the odds that nuclear war will happen, so time is of the essence to put a stop to this kind of leadership.
At the highest level of nuclear mistakes, this is precisely what I’ve been railing about for a year and a half in my nightly Posts . . . and this meme also means the evil man will try to burn all other nations down before his own so that no one can rule over him nor his ashes. ~llaw

Some would say, and rightly so, that this Post is like the stories of “Henny Penny”, who, when an acorn falls from a tree and hits her on the head, believes the sky is falling, and rushes off in fear to warn the world that “The Sky is Falling”. But, depending on the version, the moral of the drama varies according to experience and reality. Where there is a “happy ending,” the moral of the story is to have courage rather than be a “chicken”. The tale is also sometimes regarded as a warning not to believe everything one is told in some versions, like when the chickens end up being eaten by the foxes, implying that Henny Penny’s tale of danger is a fact, but others don’t believe her preposterous story and dismiss it out of hand, paying no heed to her warnings only to be end up eaten. The real moral of the story, in any case, is that anyone who believes that their warnings are legitimate based on their own judgement and experience should not be ridiculed and laughed at, unceremoniously dismissed by those who are too disinterested or mentally lazy to check the warnings for themselves are courageous? “Courage” and “Ignorance” are not synonyms by any definition.
So it seems the two-sided story of “Chicken Little” is the same story as “All Things Nuclear”, including the threats of nuclear war and the dangers of nuclear power plants, where nuclear deterrence is a made-up agreement where the fox won’t eat the chicken for a political and/or commercial agreement kind of morality, while nuclear threats are, in fact, false warnings from those that we are told not to believe because they are extensions of the magical word deterrence in the form of intended fear of retaliation and that nuclear war can go no further than threats because the war can go no further than the deterrence ‘agreements’ allows (that are already being ripped to shreds by the way) . . . and therefor there is nothing to see here? The same insanity applies to nuclear generated power — perhaps moreso — because we are not smart enough to understand that all things nuclear are of the same ilk, no matter what it is used for.
Also, accepting the nuclear deterrence/ignorance insanity is “Courageous”? But not believing or accepting the political or commercial propaganda of greedy self-aggrandized men whose profession is lying to the rest of us, is being “Chicken”? llolloll! ~llaw

As a species we are allowing ourselves to be attacked by ourselves from virtually every possible irresponsible angle the human mind can divine or devise, and none of it is genuinely helpful to any kind of life on planet Earth, but we simply don’t seem to understand or care that we all may be dead tomorrow — or a week, a month, a year, over even a decade from today — dragging all other life on Earth over the proverbial cliff right along with us. The following article from today’s “Bulletin”, published by the Union of Atomic Scientists incorporates other related human activities that exponentially add to the nuclear and atmospheric danger we are facing today that can only end up destroying life on planet Earth. It is like a tangled web purposely weaved to create the 6th Extinction!
And for what? I cannot help but ask! (I do know the answer to the question. Do you?) There is a whole world of sensible people out there trying to tell you, including me. I have offered a brief summary of my thoughts and opinions following the article. ~llaw
Each of the various pathways to global catastrophe presents its own winding course of possibilities. Nuclear weapons, climate change, pandemics, advanced technologies, and space weather might appear as fundamentally different threats. However, they are not disconnected. They branch out from common drivers like geopolitical competition, economic growth, and technological advancement. The terrains for tackling the various threats are also similar, presenting shared challenges and features.
These routes don’t end in vastly different destinations either. Global catastrophes ultimately harm the same societal functions, among them critical infrastructure, health systems, food supply, and governance continuity.
An effective and efficient method for reducing catastrophic risk would use an “all-hazards” approach, tackling the risk holistically by capitalizing on characteristics or conditions shared among the threats. This can be achieved by managing threats as a whole and finding common themes between them. A two-pronged approach, the tactic will save energy and resources by fighting multiple threats at once, giving humanity a better chance at reducing overall global catastrophic risk.
Catastrophic risk in its entirety. Not uncommon in emergency management, an all-hazards approach recognizes that various sources of risk are not siloed. But as a research topic or policy matter, global catastrophic risk is typically seen through a threat-specific lens.
The main, and most obvious, benefit of an all-hazards approach is that it can treat multiple catastrophic scenarios at the same time. For example, alleviating tensions and competition between countries could reduce risk from nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, as well as from artificial intelligence and other dual-use technologies.
A more subtle but equally important benefit of an all-hazard approach: It provides a failsafe for unknown or underestimated risk. Nuclear weapons, pandemics, and artificial intelligence risk receive a lion’s share of effort from global catastrophic risk research and advocates. These existential threats are assessed as more likely or impactful than others. But what if the assessment–including potential pathways or time frames–is wrong? And what if humans haven’t yet created or discovered the threat that wipes them out? Preventing and preparing for all catastrophes collectively circumvents human misjudgments and uncertainties.
Overarching policy manages risk as a whole. In practice, an all-hazard approach to global catastrophic risk policy can be achieved via two angles. The first takes a risk-management point of view. This approach involves several steps: governance, understanding, prevention, preparedness, response, communication, and collaboration. Each of these steps overarches not just one but a whole range of threats.
Let’s take risk governance, for instance. These structures, decision-making processes, and policy guidance would direct and coordinate government action on global catastrophic risk. For example, riskexperts and the House of Lords of the United Kingdom have proposed a national “chief risk officer” to oversee government efforts for extreme risk.
National risk assessments in many countries already receive the all-hazards treatment. And the United States is delivering a holistic assessment of existential and global catastrophic risk under the Global Catastrophic Risk Management Act of 2022. Further government action could look to study, analyze, assess, monitor, and warn about this level of risk.
Preparing for global catastrophe can capitalize on an all-hazards approach. Here, policymakers can focus on the systems that make humans weak or vulnerable. Food security in a catastrophe has received significant attention from some researchers. However, building resilience in political, societal, infrastructure, and health systems will also be critical to survival across multiple catastrophic scenarios.
Governments will also need to consider how they collaborate and communicate with stakeholders. Engaging with citizens, the private sector, civil society, and other countries is critical to reducing collective risk. For example, proactive yet careful communications—like the Swedish Government’s If Crisis or War Comes pamphlet—can alert citizens to extreme risk and spur action.
Finding common themes. The second angle for an all-hazards approach is thematic. These themes, or policy areas, are those that cut across multiple threats and hazards. Addressing how these policy areas intersect with global catastrophic risk would be a powerful strategy.
There are nine primary cross-cutting areas: international relations and foreign policy; politics and governance; security and defense; economics and finance; natural resources and the environment; infrastructure and the built environment; health and healthcare; knowledge and information; technology and innovation; and society and culture.
Risk is driven by these different areas. For example, security or economic factors can lead to the risk that emerges from artificial intelligence, climate change, and weapons of mass destruction. The push for advances in knowledge, technology, and innovation drive risk from dual-use technologies, while stoking the vulnerabilities of societies and governance.
Reducing how these factors drive or exacerbate risk could be critical to preventing a threat from arising in the first place.
The intersections just described also work in the other direction: These policy areas are affected by global catastrophic risk. National security and economic development are severely hampered by global crises. Critical infrastructure, such as energy grids and telecommunications networks, could face catastrophic collapse. And the normal operations of government would be disrupted.
In this case, building preparedness and resilience would reduce the impact of a global catastrophe. The challenge, and opportunity, with cross-cutting policy is how one area weaves its way through the risk.
Food, for example, is relevant across many threats. As a risk driver, food contributes to climate change via greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss through land clearing, and naturally occurring pandemics via zoonosis. Food systems are also vulnerable to global catastrophes. Extreme climate change and abrupt sun-blocking scenarios, such as nuclear winter and impacts from near-Earth objects and volcanic super-eruptions, could greatly and suddenly reduce global food supplies.
Taking the fight on, together. There’s plenty of work needed to make an all-hazards policy a global reality. The first steps involve identifying the common drivers behind multiple threats and agreeing to the critical systems that are vulnerable to catastrophic risk.
To bring experts from each of the threats together so they map the shared landscape of risk will require resources, forums appropriate to such efforts, and mechanisms for creating concrete plans. And advocacy groups must translate this holistic understanding of global risks into practical options for governments to consider.
Tackling each of the threats on their own can feel daunting, so considering all of them together might seem an insurmountable challenge. However, the power of an all-hazards approach is that it re-conceptualizes a variety of daunting problems into a shared—and vincible—opponent. It would not be fighting different battles but fighting the same battle on multiple lines.
By embracing an all-hazards approach, researchers, advocates, and policymakers from each of the threat domains can discover what binds them together and tackle their shared challenges. Instead of lone warriors facing their respective Goliaths, they can join forces and beat all their foes with a single stone. (End of Story)
My thoughts about this article are, of course, that “risk management” is a buzz-phrase, and the only way out of our extinction dilemma is ‘risk elimination” because risk management still assumes ‘risk’; therefore it can’t possibly work even though the unification of the intertwined ‘risk issues’ as a tool may help unwind the tangled web that is leading us to our collective graves, but is important and helpful only if we have a common leadership politically, militarily, and a mindfully common agreement of necessity in a united world that chooses peace over war and love over hate. We must have a world where we all can live as one.
Those collective human issues must be resolved first. Otherwise the ‘management’ issue, which I am presently working on in a proposal to the U.S. government concerning destroying ‘all things nuclear’ that I call the “Blue Print” that leads to a world(s)-wide cooperative (think of the old co-ops where we were all involved in managing and pricing the same markets) concept that makes us all part of the ‘management’ rather than special interest groups with opposing agendas like countries, nations, corporations, banks, religions, racial and language conflicts or discrimination (like using the word “between” when meaning the word “among” in the above article), and all other human contradictory attitudes, beliefs, concepts, ideas, and intentions. Otherwise, it is all just more of the same with different artwork painted over the same canvas scene used over and over and over unto life’s extinction. ~llaw

Tonight’s “All Things Nuclear” Commentary (not the news) is from the 1st Anniversary of my daily Posts that explains, perhaps more plainly than elsewhere, why I continue to attempt to convince the modern World(s) that humanity and other life is seriously facing our own extinction because we misunderstand the Earth blanketing power of an all out nuclear war (or WWIII) and the accompanying danger of nuclear power plants whether they are used or not as weapons of mass destruction, simply because they are weapons of mass destruction – one way or another. I am into the 93rd day of year two, and every so often I like to reach back and provide a Post that came before I began adding them to Substack as well as to my personal website, which is an alternative place along with Facebook and “X” (formerly Twitter) where you can find my Posts.

LLAW’s COMMENTARY:
Today marks the 1st Anniversary of my essentially ‘one-man-band’ of singing a sad song of possible ‘armageddon’ every night. I call the song “LLAW’S ALL THINGS NUCLEAR”, a Daily Commentary and global Nuclear News Digest, including major media stories – but also including nature’s possible contribution to the massive destruction of mankind by keeping an eye on the Yellowstone Caldera in my old home State of Wyoming (with small parts of the caldera leaking north into Montana and west into Idaho because, like nuclear holocaust, volcanoes don’t give a damn about boundaries). But there is also a caveat that one day we may realize that sunken volcanoes, or calderas, may be the answer to our world(s)’ clean energy problems that, if we don’t change our ways, will one day be the death of us all.
The “LLAW’s All Things Nuclear” digest of media news (not counting the Yellowstone Caldera) is divided into five Categories: All Things Nuclear News; Nuclear Power News; Nuclear War News; Nuclear Power Emergencies News; and Nuclear War Threats News for this Post from a daily late morning automated personally modeled Google search for the best and most important information, a daily compilation I created for this late evening report that most folks read the following morning.
The news roundup is proprietary to this Post and this particular compilation is available nowhere else and is meant to provide quick access with links to the major daily issues in the nuclear worlds of energy and war to enable the public to easily stay abreast of what’s going on in these incredibly important and dangerous corners of planet Earth’s many man-made world(s). The Posts’ mission is to apprise the general public around these world(s) of all the urgent nuclear issues and, more importantly, to convince the human world(s) that all things nuclear must be eliminated from the realms of human functions and existence if mankind and Mother Nature’s fauna and flora are to avoid future extinction.
I have a long professional background in the uranium and nuclear energy business and the years of experience (parts of three decades) together with knowledge and awareness of governmental and corporate incompetence along with lack of knowledge and care, creating misunderstandings in a vain attempt to control ‘all things nuclear’ together with the inevitable threat and eventual event of catastrophe grows nearer every day. Also for our awareness ‘The Bulletin of Atomic Scientist illustrates for us with the settings of its ‘Doomsday Clock’, which sits now at 90 seconds to Midnight – midnight meaning ‘Doomsday’ – based on world-wide nuclear and other destructive situations around the globe. This the closest it has ever been set to an immanent ‘Doomsday’ in the Bulletin’s long history dating back to the 1940s.
So it is, that this being my publication’s 1st anniversary, I am not going to dig up any earth-shattering tales of woe, hell, fire, and damnation tonight – but my normal beseeches will return on schedule tomorrow. For those of you who are already inclined to follow this project as I grow it into a larger and more wide-spread journal of worldly importance, I hope each of you will pass the word of this Post along to your family, friends, and acquaintances who are familiar with or use Facebook, although during the course of our 2nd year I will be adding other outlets – but as I’ve said several times over this past year, Facebook (the largest individually used app’s world(s)-wide popularity, reaching about a third of the entire human population) is the place that I see as having the best chance to bring the necessary community of humanity together to stop ‘all things nuclear’ by public demand, forcing removal of the entire mess of nuclear facilities, missile warheads, fuel, waste and other highly destructive radioactive poisons that we have created on and around planet Earth in less than 100 years of irrational thought, creation and use of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear energy (also, a potential WMD itself due to the Russia/Ukraine war) that will no doubt sooner, rather than later, lead to the extermination of our species as well as most all other life forms – probably with the immanent help of our also insane pollution of the Earth with CO2 gas, creating global warming and climate change.
We don’t have to exterminate ourselves this way, but there seems to be no serious consideration for doing away with all things nuclear, which to me at least, means that humanity will not cease and desist until its too late to save ourselves unless somehow our universal protests or intervention of some kind develops soon. In fact, some scientists believe that salvation is already too late, but I am, at heart, an optimist and I just know that if we devote our entire existential senses and purposes of being toward saving ourselves, we can get ‘er done, but it won’t be easy and it won’t be pleasant. ~llaw (and now back to the future:)

My comments tonight and every night are based on reflections I’ve had about nuclear energy since I first signed up in the business as a 20-something looking for a well paying job for my young family and me, as an accountant for a mining company in central Wyoming known as Lucky Mc Mine, and owned by a well-known growing corporation named Utah Construction and Mining Company, based in San Francisco, that had been the managing company in the construction of the Hoover Dam and other major projects around the country. The uranium mine was their first venture into the nuclear business, although they had large coal mining operations in Utah and New Mexico. I learned the basics of the entire business there and in a couple of years had been promoted to administrative manager.
I soon began to commute between Riverton, Wyoming, and San Francisco where I was able to get a strong feel for how the company and the general nuclear industry worked at all levels up to and including pricing of our mined and milled prior to further refined uranium fuel product, known as U308 or Yellow Cake, all over the world including selling our product to Germany, France, and other foreign countries and dozens of nuclear power plants here in the United States after the TVA and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission allowed independent sales directly to commercial power plant facilities, directly from the corporations’ mines. By the late 1960s we had expanded to two uranium mining operations in Wyoming during those early years enjoying the hay-days of the uranium industry.
I loved the job, the association and camaraderie with the people I worked for and with, and was definitely “sold” on the future of nuclear energy and the insane idea of fueling the world with our very rare enriched uranium product (U235) for nuclear power plants instead of coal, oil, and gas. There was a bit of an environmental pride involved in what we were doing, and we thought of our product as a much more efficient and cleaner product than the other fossil fuels, and just those two advantages made me feel like uranium was the epitome of providing fuel for energy-producing power forever.
And then, in the spring of 1979, the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, causing a cooling malfunction that began to melt the core in one of the two nuclear reactors. The plant had been constructed to shut itself down in such a situation, and luckily, the accident was minimal compared to what could have happened, but large amounts of radioactive fuel were released to the open atmosphere and the situation that a meltdown remained a possibility that was eventually avoided. Many scientists, nuclear operations managers, environmental experts, politicians, and nuclear protestors, and others exploited the ‘what if’ element of the accident and the industry’s never-ending and constant vulnerability, but the entire corporate commercial side of the industry looked the other way, debunking the idea (or fact) that nuclear accidents were an issue, then, or in the future. The corporate presidents, to a man, took an extremely negative position about the concerns of a huge group of knowledgeable scientists and a nervous, even frightened, public opposition. The entire industry rallied around the dark rallying phrase, which I heard personally at an early meeting, involving corporate management and strategies to contradict the growing outrage against nuclear power and the nuclear industry.
The first speaker at the assembly, whom I will not name, stood before dozens of us in the audience, and his opening words were, “Let the bastards freeze to death in the dark.” I was instantly revolted at the words and what they meant — it was like a declaration of war, completely the opposite of how I thought our industry would have handled the dangerous situation that an accident at any nuclear power plant could be responsible for killing thousands upon thousands of people, and I knew from general industry knowledge that ‘accidents’ were an issue at many start-up and/or the few actually operating nuclear power plants in those days. Because of those nine words, representing the entire nuclear industry, I decided, with a sad heart, to get out of the nuclear business entirely.
Had the message been something like, say, “Folks, we have a problem!”, I might have been of a mind to remain in the industry in order to help ensure the future safety of ‘all things nuclear’. So I transferred out of that part of the corporation that had grown over the years to have mines and production facilities all over the country and the globe, as a subsidiary of GE, which began to build nuclear reactors for commercial use in the mid 1950s. I moved on to their more docile and reliable tungsten mining and production operations, or the ‘light bulb’ industry if you will. But in the spring of 1980, I resigned from the company and created my own start-up gold exploration company.
Since those days I have been against the idea of ‘all things nuclear’, but kept my thoughts mostly to myself, even quietly enduring the tragic (that still remains so) of Chernobyl and Fukushima in silent disapproval, but with the beginning of the Russia/Ukraine war and the Russian attacks on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which I, and many others, view as an act of nuclear war, if only in its infancy, that it is incumbent on me to tell the world that if we are to survive as a human race, we must do away forever with ‘all things nuclear’. I would know how to do that, but humanity must do an instant‘ about face’ to allow it to happen. Ant I do believe ‘time’ is of the essence.
Tonight is my written public protest number 461, all in succession, without an evening’s break, to explain to the world that we are, as supposedly humanitarian human beings, rapidly creating a probable death march to the 6th Extinction of all life on our beautiful blue/green/tan planet Earth that has only endured five extinctions in its 4.5+ billion years of existence, and the first one that we humans, whose sole fault it is, are involved in because we did not exist back then. What a totally unnecessary and pathetic shame! Our planet Earth, and our Mother Nature, deserve better. ~llaw

LLAW’s COMMENTARY:
Okay, I just finished watching Rachel Maddow’s (with Chris Hayes) two hour “Podcast” on MSNBC. The last thing she said, after telling us for two hours with reference to her new #1 Best Seller “Prequel“, how poorly America has avoided defending our Democratic freedom internally and how externally we often were not defending ‘freedom’ at all in many of our wars, but rather invading and conquering other countries comparable to how we conquered the Indigenous people who were here long before we were. I so absolutely relate to that, having lived in the western Rocky Mountain States for so much of my life educating me automatically about how we treat non-white people. And you who have lived in the south know even better.
Oh yeah, back to the last thing Rachel said — she said next year was going to be a tough year for America and that meant the next few years would also be bad years. It does not take a political genius to understand what she meant by that . . . and she was only talking about what the political world would do to us, not about what non-political tools might be used to help cause our grief. She makes a point, repeatedly, how fascism and autocratic government has always been a gleam in the USA’s political eyes and points out that some Presidents, such as “Old Hickory”, FDR, and others were utter racists, and that next year’s elections may make it become a reality the following year when a new President in sworn in. If she is right, we have only 2024 to deal with the concept of saving our living souls from the tools of oppression and war that are already constantly threatening us with probable self-extinction.
So how does this relate to “All Things Nuclear”? The connections are too numerous to describe in one evening, but as a broad blanket I will just use the word, “everything” — meaning nothing has changed, but the rules and methods will change from treacherous lies called threats to treacherous reality called WWIII because the ‘lies’ right now (called pretentious deterrence) are the only thing keeping us alive right now. We are staring in the face of a one-man rules world, and there is not an autocratic leader alive who does not believe he is the man for the job, and if the concept of Democracy no longer exists, even though it is also a prevarication, there is nothing left to deter — instead it’s the world against the world(s) with no exceptions. Words like peace, freedom, tranquility, felicity, community, and even love will have lost their meaning.
The two major wars we have going in the the Ukraine and the Middle East, as pathetic as they are, clearly point that out, and with Iran about to have a nuclear bomb, and the USA and other already nuclear-armed endowed countries building more powerful bombs and more of them, coupled with the USA selling nuclear fuel to non-nuclear armed countries, plus the easy conversion of nuclear power plants to nuclear weapons of mass destruction, it is easy to see the writing on the wall. If one-man rule can’t exist, then the second rule is no-one rules.
Rachel Maddow knows far more than she says (I urge you to read all of her books), and I would say that when she offers a political warning about the USA insanely losing its lonely Democracy to an international world of power-crazy Hitler-style racist fascists, the 6th Extinction cannot help but end humanity and most all life on this beautiful blue-green planet Earth. ~llaw

Each of these steps overarches not just one but a whole range of threats. RELATED: Another warning from industry leaders on dangers posed by AI. Let’s …
About 1983’s movie “The Day After” and how a nuclear war would affect the average public citizen from their normal lives before, some about their lives during, and a little about their lives after. As the filmmakers said at the end of the movie, they felt their depiction of nuclear war was likely less harrowing, less difficult, less problematic, less destructive, and less painful in all-life threatening ways than portrayed in the film — indicating that the real thing would be even more horrible to bear than shown. I would agree, but still it was horrendous enough to force everyday citizens to seriously consider what would happen in an actual nuclear war.
By today’s potential WWIII standards, and considering the number and power of today’s weapons of mass destruction, and instead of two countries involved as portrayed in the movie, there could be eight primary countries as well as their allied countries facing the worst of war, too.
And then there are today’s ‘sitting duck’ nuclear power plants spread around the globe that these days are also considered by major countries and their political and military leaders to be an attacked country’s gift to help destroy themselves — what I call a ‘two-fer-one’ weapon of mass destruction. The Russia/Ukraine war has shown exactly how that could happen, and since that war remains ongoing, it could still actually happen because Ukraine has four huge and powerful nuclear plants with 15 nuclear reactors, ranking that country 7th in the world in commercial nuclear power. Of course the USA is far and away the country with the most reactors and plants.
Should Russia nuke all four of the Ukraine plants (or even one) WWIII would begin immediately. This scenario clearly tells us how all nuclear power plants just like ‘all other things nuclear’, including all uranium fuel, must be removed from existence on this planet in order for humans and other life to survive . . . In an all-out nuclear war, their are no survivors, much less a winning country.
So, if you did not watch that film last night and still would like to get a watered-down version of the reality of nuclear war and what it does to human society, I have added the You Tube link you can copy for your convenience again tonight, but don’t forget today’s number one categorized world news, as always, is on down this Post for you to read and personally selected articles of interest . . . ~llaw

[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.

It is clear that as a human race, we have no more understanding of ‘all things nuclear’ than a looney tune rabbit or coyote trying to kill each other – or any other species of animals on planet Earth doing their level best to survive, because they are blissfully ignorant of ‘all things nuclear’. Let me point out how that is and what it means, not only to us humans, but also to all other living critters and creatures on Earth . . .

These three lame examples above of media news stories today annoyed me enough today that I decided to expand what I believe to be a presently human-inhabited world of the massively uninformed, and to make matters worse my entire purpose of this nightly Post is based on the proposition of specifically informing the deathly humankind world(s) of ‘all things nuclear’ that we human created. So, once again, I am on the warpath about unnecessary ignorance and apathy handed out as gospel from uninformed media sources who simply mimic what they are told by an unscrupulous world of wealth-seeking bandits that can best be described as the ‘nuclear industry’.
To change our death-wish direction, we must open our myopic eyes to reality and remove the entire world of nuclear-everything from this world of uranium and its nuclear products. I wonder, knowing from my own long ago education and occupational profession how nuclear radiation came to be present long after the 5th Extinction that was caused by a meteorite that somehow (likely from its own uranium-rich earth), created and left behind the fossil fuel we are presently excavating and refining these days from that former reptilian world of known existence, eons prior to our human arrival, leaving behind the fossil fuels that provided the radiation that we are presently using to potentially annihilate ourselves today.
We have only known about the destructive nature of uranium for a few short human generations, and many of us are still alive (including me) after the USA constructed two atomic bombs and dropped them on the civilian cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, promptly ending WWII. It took a mass murder of a few hundred thousand Japanese citizens, absolutely far beyond the scope of a military war, to stop us earthly humans, for a very short time, from killing off those who might not agree with our particular agenda, although we have not yet stooped once more to using nuclear weapons as weapons of mass destruction, but rather as weapons of ‘deterrence’, which is finally being recognized for what it is – useless and impossible to control. We were proud of ourselves when we so brutally ended WWII, and today it seems that we still are, so we (and other countries) are building more powerful nuclear weapons of mass destruction to some illogically insane way to prevent WWIII by this moronic thing called ‘deterrence’. Stalwart, thoughtful, and knowledgeable men, such as Albert Einstein, for instance, have stated that WWIII will end all wars. Einstein remarked that all future wars “will be fought with sticks and stones.
If nothing else, perhaps all of us, including our elite scientific community, should think about about all that. If we do, we might well begin to understand that the 5th Extinction was more than an act of ‘god’ or ‘nature’, but an other-worldly humanoid intentional method of getting rid of the kind of cold-blooded life existing on our planet Earth 65+ million years ago. And could it be that ‘human life’ came along intentionally and knowingly later after the half-life radiation decay of the 5rh Extinction made new life here a possibility allowing early forms of human and other warm-blooded animals to survive here on our beautiful blue/green planet Earth?
There are some brave human souls today who believe that planet Earth was designated and designed, before, during, or after the 5th Extinction, to be a penal colony for an inferior humanoid race. That certainly could be us because here we are destroying planet Earth by the parasitical way we live, and also insanely trying, consciously or not, to destroy ourselves while we’re at it. Who can categorically say that’s not true? No one. ~llaw
