Contact Richard McPherson The only country that can bring other countries together to provide countries the energy needed to escape poverty, exploitation and oppression by other countries is the United States of America.

Americans are spoiled; some are even arrogant about having energy including electricity. Americans flip on a light switch and have light. A thermostat controls ambient temperature to their liking. Drinking water is available. Vehicles have fuel available close to almost every home, office, other workplace or school. Ample food is available at local stores. And, medical care is readily available for most Americans.

None of this is available in most countries.

America is rich in natural resources including for energy conversion to useful energy. Americans mastered mining and developing energy technologies to create the most industrial and prosperous nation on earth. America’s industrial might and desire for freedom helped free nations from oppression in World War I and World War II. Today many nations are under a new assault. The biggest difference is mostly an economic war for control over people, their countries natural resources, or geographical location. People without energy are at risk. There are countries with limited amounts of energy - energy is critical to their very existence.

There is no longer any reason to not have the energy required to live and prosper without being controlled by others. It’s time to break the leftist noise about climate change and renewable energy. It’s time for the truth about what is needed globally for baseload electricity and thermal (heat) energy for uses like desalinization.

The world needs nuclear generated electricity and thermal energy. We must exploit every natural energy source for its highest and best economical use. Nuclear power is the single best resource for mankind. American nuclear energy used by the U.S. Navy was carried over into commercial nuclear power in 1957.

American nuclear power plant designs have demonstrated load following for close to 70years. Don’t let people confuse you saying U.S. commercial nuclear plants are not able to load follow. Most were designed to operate most efficiently by being at 100% power. New American nuclear power plant designs are built to load follow other electricity sources like solar and wind; wind being the least predictable.

America has a safety, quality and success record unsurpassed in nuclear energy since Experimental Breeder Reactor I (EBR -I) went critical in the Idaho desert on December 20, 1951 lighting a few light bulbs.

Don’t be misled by people using the term “waste” for the estimated 90,000 metric tons of “partially spent fuel” from America’s fleet of commercial light water reactors, LWRs. Nothing could be further from the truth. Partially spent nuclear fuel is an asset waiting to be turned into new fuel. Americans have been safely managing partially spent fuel for close to 80-years. What we stopped doing is recycling and breeding new fuel for sustainability because of changes in public policy from leftist’s intents (see Thomas Cochran, John Holdren, Frank von Hippel. U.S. President Jimmy Carter, President Bill Clinton) on Americans not enjoying safe electricity and economic security from nuclear energy. These five Americans stopped the greatest energy program for America and the world based on false claims of proliferation. Theirs is one of the biggest lies ever told to the American public. See the true story here.

America’s and other countries’ leaders have to step forward and accept the challenge of an American led “Decade of Energy” to bring the majority of the world’s people out of oppression and poverty to live better lives.

The author has been involved in all aspects of energy since 1963 – especially nuclear. He lives in Idaho bringing together a group working on finding individual solutions that can be aggregated into executable solutions under the nexus of agriculture, water and energy. Let’s work together for a better world.

What the rest of the world thinks of the United States opposing fossil fuels and nuclear, forcing everyone to use wind and solar and taking years to campaign for Presidential Elections. It’s great for the media to influence the public and sell advertising.
