This is important for all of us. But, it will definitely boost Chinese chip manufacturing if prices are awesome even if they need to improve yields.

article didn’t say anything. How does denser plasma achieve higher temperatures or other benefits? What advances did their denser plasma produce?

then I am way off. I read off blury thumbnai, GWh-thermal. Your version makes it negligeable gold production.

can’t have war if everyone surrenders too soon.

No. The Tianmen Square video is of tank man who made a tank stop instead of running him over. The protests were over a previous (1-3 nights before) protest or, according to Chinese Government, riot where protesters were killed. Deaths did not happen after tankman.

All of the ICE vehicles I’ve seen are unmarked, with non-uniformed masked men jumping out of them and attacking people or their vehicles. Maybe 10 years ago, a Florida Man shot a black kid for wearing a hoodie, and got off on “stand your ground laws”. Apparentlly, MAGA thinks “if they could be ICE, give them all your money and vehicles” or you, as domestic terrorist scum, deserve to get killed.

I indeed have heard that before. I think they say that to make us part of the alliance against China.

global mine production is 10t per day. 120t/day from single 1gw e plant does sink value substantially, but is a drop in the bucket compared to 80k tons of copper/day. Gold is a better copper I think, so maybe a floor value of $20/kg. But to subsidize fusion energy by 20c/kwh, it needs to stay above $11/oz . Gold is also a better silver, but silver production is 80t/day, and so gold is unlikely to hold that threshhold value.

A bigger deal is that we are collectively too politically stupid to have “golden goose fusion”. Our blessed oligarchs deserve better than their heathen oligarchs, and it is perfectly normal to diminish and warcruise them. Nuclear power already isn’t war resilient, and destroying one is something Ukraine has seen propaganda value in doing due to media control that would blame Russia for it. So, our collective stupidity is already at extreme levels. But the play in golden goose fusion is buy all the ultra cheap gold after mine closures, and then destroy all the golden geese. Destroy all attempts to build new ones.

uhm… if gold198 turns back into mercury in 64 hours, and is radioactive in the meantime… that sucks. But what they are doing is turning Mercury198 into mercury197, and that decays into (real) gold197 … afaiu.

The safe level isn’t that important, because the gold can be put into an ETF investment vehicle, which is a substantial enough demand for gold. National reserves (the vast majority of gold demand) too are long term holders.

2t/GWhth is a huge amount. While the best case economics for fusion is 30c/kwh cost = $3m/Gwhe, that would be 3GWhth = 6T of gold. Even at $45/oz (1/100th of current value) that would be $8m/Gwhe revenue, and would likely be able to sell electricity at market rates as the “waste product”, or not even bother with the expense/complexity of electricity generation.

Negotiating quotas, dealership investments, factories, is reasonable to reduce tariffs to a “revenue raising” level, but also pressure US/western firms to invest more (without subsidy) to keep the large Canadian auto market access.

The irony of joining team genocide is that self defense means you deserve to be genocided. Racist genocide will increase racial tensions by design, and pet eating accusations are a tool even if stories debunked, and then masked non-uniformed fascist thugs scaring away then killing a white mom dropping off kid at school is a small price to pay to support further escalation to genociding the right people.

The bigger picture for politicians is team white/team Christian is performative for capturing support for team zionist oligarchy

Good riddance. Nazis belong with their kind, and hopefuly, but unlikely, Canada won’t contribute to more Ukrainian corruption.

He relies on many government contracts for the future.

If White men become a minority, we will be slaughtered.

The Zionazi minority survives just fine. That Musk allies with them helps with Zionist first rule over us. Not long ago, we praised multicultural society as a strength, that welcomed more immigrants to enter at bottom of class pyramid. A great benefit to business and oligarchy alike. Naturalize immigrants with citizenship status seem to have the strongest views against other immigrants.

While I agree that wearing a dress or identifying as a race should not be a job qualification, our laws, constitution, principles generally protect survival on the basis of race, including the white one. Replacement theory is essentially hate/criminalizing people for choosing to have a baby, accusing them of voting for future healthcare.

Musk, the most oligarchist of all lizard people, telling you to vote for the most oligarchist fascist party because that party loves white people is a lie, because that party loves oligarchy more. Freedom from fascist oligarchy is not anti-white. There are 1000s of reasons to hate fascist oligarchist supremacy other than the fake sales job that if you don’t support it, the black panthers with Shaft will revive to kill us all.

I’m just pissed that Canadian prices are higher than US when we don’t have tariffs on the countries making their products. I believe Apple is subsidizing its US customers with rest of world.

China’s interference in domestic affairs and election is strong not only in Canada but everywhere

CIA talking point. Only CIA is allowed to determine elections.

Just name one country that ever benefited from a ‘tight relationship’ with China in the long term?

The ones where the US hasn’t invaded or created a puppet government in yet? All the US colonies are doing poorly in growth terms. Those trading freely with China are booming.

China will use any leverage to bully its so-called ‘allies’ as it has been doing for decades.

This is a false accusation. The alternative is waiting for loving US capital and policy to be more apparently loving.

The only option for Canada is a strong diversification of its trade, particularly with democracies in Europe, in the Indo-Pacific, and elsewhere imo.

Democracies that are determined, like Canada’s, by the CIA. Instead of having “fake democracy” values, value countries that aren’t corrupt. The US colonies aren’t in the list.

local battery and motor plants with local materials would boost Canadian economy.

Seems like Ford and GM are blowing up their EV programs. Korea has good models. For battery plants, Stelantis/LG has started production, though Stelantis doesn’t make EVs. They are building for ESS. Volkswagen has started building a battery plant. Skyview 2 is primarily ESS too. Tons of cancelations though, and Governments begging for refunds.

may be quite difficult unless the government is willing to spend lots of money

The future of auto industry is more automation and less jobs. $50B in funding since 2020 could be more than $5M per direct job created, and then so many cancelled projects looks bad. The 2009 bailout was $150k per every worker. $75B in last 20 years for auto subisidies. At 1.9m vehicles sold per year, the $10B/year over last 5 years is $5000+/vehicle sold (without any consumer price breaks), which is ok metric if exports/imports balance, I doubt employment will increase. I’m sure another economic collapse will happen that politicians tell us need more auto sector subsidies

Getting to a more precise point, Canada has one of the largest auto markets in the world about equal to France and UK despite half the population. China investing its own money in Canada manufacturing of autos, robots with deal for Canadian supply chain and resources is probably Canada’s only future. It would provide much better value autos to consumers, and better value robots to Canadian manufacturers that lets them outcompete US. Canadian employment for factory building. EVs are better cars, and there would be no need for extra tax credits for good value vehicles.

Whether negotiating with US automakers or US government, posture should be that they need to make massive investments in Canada instead as compensation for past bailouts instead of weaseling more subsidies. Far more geopolitical tributes are owed by US to Canada. If they refuse then China, South east Asia, South Korea (a recent maybe), would be Canada’s economic future.

2m annual Canadian vehicle market is a prize that the world should covet, and give it to the highest bidder, instead of a false, for the future, political employment football. Instead of Canadian taxpayers paying $5k per vehicle, auto buyers could save $5-$15k on vehicles with lower insurance rates, and lower taxi/uber rates due to lower capital and fuel/maintenance costs.
