What we need is to be able to rely on ourselves locally, at least for the basics of life.
Such alliances only complicate life and divert us from being independent and self-sufficient.

What is needed and rigidly resisted by many nations putting puerile self interest ahead of any other consideration, is nuclear energy!

Not just any nuclear energy but thorium energy!

Thorium is abundant and found almost anywhere/everywhere! India has around 40% of the world's thorium and is along with China, throwing billions into this super fuel, green energy, research.

Thorium remains the most energy dense material on the planet, and may even lend itself to the creation from abundant seawater, of a range of alternative diesel/jet fuel/gasoline hydrocarbons!?

A handful of Mumbai beach sand, contains on average, enough thorium to power India for a year!?

Without question almost every nation state will have some useful deposits of this material!?

And only able to be used for peaceful energy provision purposes, given thorium is fertile not fissile!

We could if we but used the brains we were born with, create a new industry, creating, in the shipping container, mass produced and ready to use, 40 MW thorium reactors.

And based on a successfully trialled Oak Ridge, Tennessee, successfully run, between the fifties and seventies, without a single incident, as a walk away safe, molten salt, thorium reactor!

No other energy solution comes close as cheap, safe, clean, 24/7 baseload power? Except maybe endless biogas production!?

But who's listening! Certainly not those fossil fuel advocates, with their fingers shoved/plugged in their ears! As they sing, la, la, la boom de eh, at the top of their voices!

That noted, I mean, it's not like we are ever going to run out of organic biological waste, or fossil fueled fools, are we!?
