OPEC can argue whatever they dam well like and for any alleged reason. The rest of the world can and will follow the Chinese economy and switch from oil and OPEC. To electric vehicles and outlawed conventional engines by as soon as 2020!

PLEASE PLEASE OPEC, cut production and help accelerate that change and the nuclear future that alone will reverse climate change, without also tanking our fledgling and fragile export dependant economy!

If we were still using the brains we were born with? We would renegotiate most in not all our CNG deals and instead, use this gas here at home as our principle transition transport fuel, as a cleaner and cheaper option! Ditto value added processing and manufacture!

Particularly if pragmatism and rational logic prevails! And we divorce ourselves from this artificially imposed from without, global energy market. To just chart our own economy growing independent course!

And the inevitable nuclear future that simply has to be part of it and the widespread electrification of that turbocharged, growing economy! No longer anchored or held back by the "intended"profit curves of this or that, multinational energy baron!

What? No eternally stalking NNN and endless thorium powered gibberish?

Nick if you're there? The offer to slide down the focused bean of my brand new tactical torch holds good!

I only ask you come with an (Mary Poppins) umbrella, given I intend to turn the beam off to escape detection, when you're only half way down and need to descend the last 1,000 metres on your own devices!

And where your oversized golf brolly could come in handy?

Rest assured that in no part of the fall will you be hurt even as you call, as you pass each successive floor, so far so good. So far so good Sooooooooooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite!

Mary Poppins, I want my money back!

You all have a nice day now y'hear!

No but seriously ,
' Resident evil, also part of all there is, would have us believe we are just individuals, able to exist outside of the collective or unified field of energy! Were we able to do so, would simply cease to exist! '
Leading psychiatrists have tried and failed to detect human logical processes in these disturbed outbursts , with ! after each fractured clause. Is this series of funny phrasing caused by watching Thorium salts endlessly rotate in psychotic trances?

A Clown Diver? At least a clown would be funny or even mildly amusing! This joker is just a stalking humourless troll, a couple of baskets short of a picnic, trying to belittle anyone who makes sense?

Don't let him get under your skin with his self evident funny farm rhetoric! He's just a smart (!)
Cheers, Alan B.

"Stalking" when Alan keeps repeating himself on power and there are replies?
Sevaral times I've asked for facts on Thorium which never come .

"In 2014, the US Energy Information Administration estimated the levelized cost of electricity from new nuclear power plants going online in 2019 to be $0.096/kWh before government subsidies, comparable to the cost of electricity from a new coal-fired power plant without carbon capture, but higher than the cost from natural gas-fired plants."
" UK Royal Academy of Engineering report in 2004 .. the cost of standby capacity for wind, as well as carbon values up to £30 (€45.44) per tonne CO2 for coal and gas.. Without a carbon tax, the cost of production through coal, nuclear and gas ranged £0.022–0.026.kWh".

There is no commercial Thorium electrical power producer .
