Trump Calling Up His Blackmail Cards As Midterms Approach

Ten new large nuclear plants scheduled to be constructed in the US. Backed by $17.5 billion in loans against $80 billion contracts.  Awarded to Westinghouse whose ownership is Canadian Cameco, a uranium company, and Brookfield Asset Management whose Chair is Frank McKenna, a former Liberal Canadian politician turned hedge fund manager.

Eight large scale nuclear plants slated to be built by South Korea at a price tag of $120 billion. Trump is calling out Japan’s very unfavorable PM, Sanae Takaichi, who pledged $550 billion in US investment in 2025. Trump claims a portion of the pledge should be used toward energy, shipbuilding and critical minerals and semi-conductors.

Trump will push extradited nuclear plant permits which typically take 2-3 years.  The ten plant deal is through Westinghouse whose ownership is Canadian Cameco, a uranium company, and Brookfield Asset Management whose Chair is Frank McKenna, a former Liberal Canadian politician turned hedge fund manager.

It will be 2040 before any nuclear plants are operational.  The means of blackmail?  The leverage forcing South Korea, Canada and Japan? Tariffs. If these countries do not agree to these investments, Trump and Lutnik have declared they will destroy their economy with Tariffs

The reason for the push? Trump’s meeting with Tech Giants. Data Centers. Robots. By 2035 20% to 25% of all US electricity will be redirected to Data Centers. Robots consume electricity or battery pacts.  Battery packs have a charge of 2-4 hours before recharging using electricity. The demand load will shorten the lifespan of neighborhood transformers which have a current lifespan of 15-30 years.

Problem: Scientists are actively researching nuclear fusion and space based solar to solve the world’s energy fault lines.

Nuclear Fusion:

Facilities like the ITER magnetic confinement reactor in France are testing feasibility, while labs explore spin polarization to boost efficiency. The benefits include no long-lived radioactive waste and zero risk of a runaway chain reaction meltdown.

Space based Solar:

Placing solar collecting arrays in orbit above Earth’s atmosphere to harvest unfiltered solar energy 24/7. This mechanism would beam the captured energy wirelessly down to ground receivers using lasers.

Advanced Ocean and Quantum Concepts:

Utilizing temperature differences between deep and surface ocean waters to spin turbines.

Nuclear Fusion would be the most likely logical choice given space based solar could be destroyed by asteroids and/or changes in magnetic fields. While ocean concepts could severely decay our ocean environment leading to a host of problems. We already have CERN testing capabilities while it searches for portholes into other dimensions.

The Question regarding Trump’s hype? Why aren’t American companies getting the contracts?

Alaska Pipeline a $54 billion LNG project awarded to South Korea to build a pipeline 807 miles long. While Trump has claimed it is a final deal – South Korea has adamantly denied this assertion claiming it is simply ‘under review’ given the cost to profit practicality. It would take 5 years before exports to Asian countries became viable. When forecasting into the future, the unknowns could make an entire project worthless as the energy sources change.

Given LNG can be more adverse to the climate via continual methane leaks, Scientists are researching green hydrogen, ammonia, and green methanol made from renewable electricity.  Thus, demand for LNG would collapse. 

According to Lutnik, America will become a super giant in the world of power with these investments. But forward thinking is not always congruent with reality when that timeline is 5 to 25 years in the future.  Currently, Russia and Iran have the largest reserves of LNG deposits. The distance between Russia and Korea via the Arctic is the same distance between Alaska and Korea.  Without the pipeline investment.

In 25 years advances will exponentiate. Change is inevitable. Even plastic waste could be cut by 80% to 90% globally if countries adopted parameters.  Plastics as well as fertilizers, synthetic fibers, and industrial chemicals account for roughly 14% of global oil demand. A debilitating waste that has infinitely harmed planet earth. And unnecessarily so. Why? Simple greed.

Fertilizers degrade soil. Which is why humans require additives in order to obtain a mineral rich diet. Natural fertilization enhances soil using manure, seaweed, compost and plant meals.  Those minerals improve body and brain health.

The Trump/Lutnik regime are motivated by one asset money – now – for them.  And to maintain that flow, they need to secure the midterms. Blackmail would appear common within political circles. And they are well aware of its consequences. IF they lose the midterms, they don’t just lose their lifeline to money, they could lose everything. And they are willing to do anything to preserve their respective positions. One month is all they have left. Desperation is setting in.
