Wow Howard first time i have seen you rip on someone.   

I think war with Iran is in the MIC interests, but nothing more.

Obama is praying for a war so he can get his energy crisis he has wanted and blame someone else for it.

No doubt, and his spin doctors will blame higher gas prices on it when the sham of higher gas prices = a improving economy wears off like a alcohol buzz.

BOOM.

No no we have to attack some middle East country everything else is naive foreign policy, right Beach Bum?

[headhuntersix]

There aremany reasons not to go to war with Iran, using this piece of shit to make the case is bull....

1:13 in...

everything he's said so far is what has been in the plans. let the others rise while for those of us in the West will have to lower our standards and wages etc. Globalization. motherfucks 

he's trying to calm the masses. lol like the masses are listening. ... I love these vids, theyre a good guideline for whats to come. same when there is a Michael Scheuer video. alll these fucking shills.

cheers.

I feel a lot of STAYCATIONS this summer becoming in style.

why doesn't the world start building non-weaponized nuclear reactors?

Thorium: A safer alternative for nuclear power generation?

The world's growing need for energy, the limits of our supply of fossil fuels and concern about the effects of carbon emissions on the environment have all prompted interest in the increased use of nuclear power. Yet the very word "nuclear" carries with it an association of fear. People are concerned about the waste produced by reactors, the possibility of catastrophic accidents as highlighted by recent events in Japan and the link between nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Yet what if there existed a means of nuclear power generation with which these risks were drastically reduced?

The answer could be thorium - an element occurring as a silvery metal that's more abundant, cleaner and can produce more bang-per-buck in energy terms than uranium. So how does thorium differ from uranium and plutonium, and why isn't it being used? First, a quick run-down on how nuclear energy works.
What is nuclear power?

The word "nuclear" refers to the nucleus, or dense center of the atom. In a nuclear power reactor, these nuclei are split into smaller parts through a process known as fission. A sub-atomic particle known as a neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of suitable fuel (particular isotopes of the heavy elements uranium and plutonium) breaking it into its component parts. Each fission results in the release of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation and kinetic energy in the fragments of the split nucleus. This effect is twofold; the release of energy will produce heat, and the release of neutrons, which can in turn fission other atoms.

In material that has typically been employed as nuclear fuel, this reaction occurs in a "chain reaction" and is self-sustaining. When this is occurring, the reactor can be said to be"'critical". In a fission weapon, a mass of plutonium or uranium in excess of critical is assembled very quickly, with a flood of neutrons from a device known as an "initiator". The release of energy is extremely rapid and results in a massive explosion.

In a nuclear power reactor, the reaction is far slower and more controlled - the heat produced can be harnessed to boil water to spin turbines for the generation of electricity and this has been in practice for decades. The use of nuclear reactors for power generation began on 27 June 1954 at the Obninsk power plant in the former Soviet Union and has continued in numerous countries to this day.

There are of course, some significant problems with nuclear power. Fission reactions will always result in the production of radioactive waste products which require secure storage and pose a health risk to humans and the environment. There is the possibility that the operators may lose control of the fission chain reaction resulting in an accidental release of this material (often referred to as a "meltdown"). There's also the concern that reactors may also be used for the production of material suitable for nuclear weapons.
Modern nuclear reactors

The two main types of reactors used for commercial power generation are the pressurized water reactor (PBR) and the boiling water reactor (BWR), which both typically make use of uranium in the form of uranium oxide fuel rods. The criticality of the reactor is managed by control rods, which when inserted absorb neutrons that would otherwise cause the chain reaction to continue. The reactor can be shut down, or "scrammed", by the rapid insertion of these control rods. However, this is a manual process and there is a possibility of an error occurring.
Criticality, fertility and the potential of thorium

The element thorium, named after the Norse god of thunder, may provide a safer alternative as a fuel. The key difference between thorium and other nuclear fuels is that it cannot sustain a chain reaction on its own. Fissile fuels like uranium and plutonium are able to sustain a chain-reaction, yet fission can also be achieved in material like thorium that is not fissile but fertile - i.e. it can produce fissile material, if neutrons are provided from an outside source.

Thorium is estimated to be three to four times more plentiful than uranium in the Earth's crust and has the advantage of being found in nature in the one isotope, which makes it suitable as a nuclear fuel as it need not be enriched to separate the right isotope. For convenience, thorium fuel can be used in the form of a liquid molten salt mixture.
Accelerator Driven System

Fission occurs in thorium when atoms absorb a neutron to become a heavier isotope and quickly decay into an isotope of the element protactinium and then an isotope of uranium, which is fissioned when struck by an additional neutron. The number of neutrons produced is not sufficient for a self-sustained chain reaction.

A particle accelerator could be used to provide the necessary neutrons for fission to occur in thorium and a nuclear reactor making use of such an outside neutron source would be known as an 'accelerator driven system' (ADS).

The notion of the ADS is credited to Carlo Rubbia of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) joint winner of the 1984 Nobel Prize for Physics. The ADS would likely be far smaller than other reactors and if the accelerator were to be turned off, the nuclear reaction would cease, although it should be noted that even in a reactor which is not critical, the heat from the decay of materials can be significant and cooling is required.

In a thorium reactor, quantities of other fuels could be included, without the fuel being capable of sustaining a chain reaction, and thus the reactor could be used to provide energy from disposing of material such as plutonium from disassembled nuclear weapons. It's also possible to ensure that the reactors are designed in such a way that it is not possible to extract fissile material, which can be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Though all nuclear reactors will produce waste products, a reactor fulled by thorium will produce far less long-lived waste products than one fueled by uranium or plutonium, with waste decaying to the same level of radioactivity as coal ashes after 500 years.

Thorium also produces more energy from the same amount of material compared to uranium.

"Two hundred tonnes of uranium can give you the same amount of energy you can get from one tonne of thorium," Rubbia told the BBC News in a recent interview.
Towards a thorium reactor

Though several reactors have made use of thorium for experimental purposes, a thorium power reactor is not as yet a reality. Countries like Russia, India and China are looking at the use of thorium and such a reactor may one day soon be a viable energy source.

So why has it taken so long for thorium to hit the nuclear power agenda? The key reason seems to be that because it can't be used to make a nuclear bomb, it was largely ignored during the Manhattan project and in the development of nuclear power stations that followed.

Haha, I'm not a fan of Zbig either, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Plus, having someone beloved by the "liberal" left make the case against war in Iran will come in handy once Obama starts bombing them.

Ghettobama is going to sit back and blame the dastardly jews and the evil oil companies for everything. 




You heard it hear first as this communist ghetto c u n t collapses this nation.

Why don't you shut the fuck up and watch the video before commenting, you stupid piece of shit? Or fuck, even read the title for that matter?

I did watch the video you stupid fuck....all I did was ask you a question..if the question was too hard for you to answer then ignore it and move on....lashing out at me when your point isn't clear is really dumb you idiot fuck

[howardroark]

Let's get this straight: You don't understand that the point of a thread with "War With Iran Is Not In America's Interests" in the title is that, well, war with Iran is not in our interests, yet you have the gall to call me the idiot fuck? Pleeeaaase

so you agree with every single point he made in the video??

he's upset because I destroyed him in some other threads...don't mind him

Goddamn you get more and more stupid...why would Obama want an energy crisis?...that would doom his presidency...JESUS..you are a fucking retard!!!!!!

[Shockwave]

Youre a moron.
Obama himself has said a million times he wants to skyrocket energy costs on fossil fuels in order to try and "nudge" (read: force) citizens to do the "right thing" and buy more efficient vehicles.
The dude has been in a million vids talking about how he's going to raise the cost of fuel and energy.

How the fuck are you this stupid?
