ELYSIUM INDUSTRIES @ 2020 MSR ORNL Virtual Workshop

Carl Perez, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Elysium Industries, presents part of the Elysium story during the "First Next Reactors" panel at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's 2020 Molten Salt Reactor Virtual Workshop.

What's the practical lower limit of heat production for a fast MSR?

We're always just 30 years away on Fusion devices.. About 6 years ago Lockheed Skunk Works actually went public with a surprising promotion video saying they expected to be in production with Truck-able Size mini-fusion devices to supply the power needs of "neighborhood to small community size fusion devices." .... in 5 years ( a deadline that passed a year ago).

They avoided political controversy by saying it would be sold to developing third world counties. Thus avoiding for example any discussion concerning how these devices would integrate into the US Energy Net and its implications on Public Utility Company financials.

11/06/2020 The PR surrounding molten salt thorium reactors is offering a forecast. Watch both videos above. The PR forecast suggests this:.... “It’s our turn for thorium.”

This holds significant global energy implications.

I’m going to start adding relevant posts to this thread following new inputs on molten salt thorium reactors pro and con. Other sources of energy will also be considered. The PR ramping up around molten salt thorium reactors is obviously backed by a serious contingency of highly technical experts in the field of applied physics, experts with access.

This is so far a successful PR effort; I see it as another wave, another push for the budget spotlight. The trouble with waves are, they peak and trough. Timing matters. This time the PR is surprisingly soft selling Thorium merits and being brought forward not by the usual cast of government characters. The usual cast of characters now have two new and respected, players for thorium both with credibility, (1) experts in applied physics in the field of liquid salt thorium reactors, overseen by the etheric ghost of a lovable Oak Ridge National Lab thorium reactor founder, Alvin Weinberg. (2) The inimitable David Adair. Weinberg represents durable cosmic truth, Adair represents gifted genius insights (Photo Insert).

11/07/2020 Some believe the Lockheed announcement was a diversionary tactic. So if the world has fusion energy, let’s sell off our uranium ore fields to the Russians.

Well documented political scandals followed. Multi generational ranching interests reaching back to statehood formation were accused of environmental land management abuses and evicted. The rancher’s 100+ year history of sustainable grazing practices ignored.

Meanwhile back in DC, a powerful senator hired his own family members to privately negotiate the selling of what then turned out to be uranium ore mining rights on these same public lands. This became the infamous uranium ore sale to Russian interests.

Back on the farm, several hundred patriots well aware of what their local corrupt senator and senator’s son were up to, men and women, grabbed their guns and came out in force to defend the well loved local ranching family on site to protect the family from the Department of Interior hired paramilitary armed civilian thug mercenaries. About this same time another rancher was shot by a provocateur in a second incident.

The sheriff, a DHS darling, staged a set up to create a killing corral so that paid paramilitary hitmen could kill Patriots out of sight of cameras to teach the Patriots a lesson. At first the hitmen did not realize how exposed their sniper position had become. Their not so secret strategy was to start killing these “deplorable” Bible toting, gun lover patriots out of sight of cameras, blame it all on the Patriots, then call in the National Guard, letting the incident conflate into a declaration of Marshall Law.

But Patriots had their own high ground snipers to kill the hitmen snipers, keeping the hitmen snippers in their sights, locked and loaded. Once the hitmen snipers finally realized they would be the first to die - instantly, they radioed their main body in the creek bed below near the highway bridge to pull out without a gunfight. A standoff ended with the hitmen packing up and pulling out entirely under peaceful passage arranged by the Patriots. Private iPhones put it all on the internet but with a few hours delay.

But still, high political officials including the State Department then oversaw the sale of the uranium ore bearing land rights to Russian interests.

Those of us talking about it were obviously conspiracy theory types. It’s all forgotten and what value is there possibly in reliving these events years later, let’s move on, nothing to see here. Right?

Water rights, mineral rights, hydrocarbon and gas rights, and now wind rights, each create unique episodes in Energy Policies. Timing is important. Policies each flow in waves that peak and trough. Catching the wave is an art.

Even Nikola Motors was more convincing.
