“.. Nuclear Power Revealed

So let me tell you what else they did. They just showed you what's wrong with nuclear power. "Safe to the maximum," they said. "Our devices are strong and cannot fail." But they did. They are no match for Gaia.

It seems that for more than 20 years, every single time we sit in the chair and speak of electric power, we tell you that hundreds of thousands of tons of push/pull energy on a regular schedule is available to you. It is moon-driven, forever. It can make all of the electricity for all of the cities on your planet, no matter how much you use. There's no environmental impact at all. Use the power of the tides, the oceans, the waves in clever ways. Use them in a bigger way than any designer has ever put together yet, to power your cities. The largest cities on your planet are on the coasts, and that's where the power source is. Hydro is the answer. It's not dangerous. You've ignored it because it seems harder to engineer and it's not in a controlled environment. Yet, you've chosen to build one of the most complex and dangerous steam engines on Earth - nuclear power.

We also have indicated that all you have to do is dig down deep enough and the planet will give you heat. It's right below the surface, not too far away all the time. You'll have a Gaia steam engine that way, too. There's no danger at all and you don't have to dig that far. All you have to do is heat fluid, and there are some fluids that boil far faster than water. So we say it again and again. Maybe this will show you what's wrong with what you've been doing, and this will turn the attitudes of your science to create something so beautiful and so powerful for your grandchildren. Why do you think you were given the moon? Now you know.

This benevolent Universe gave you an astral body that allows the waters in your ocean to push and pull and push on the most regular schedule of anything you know of. Yet there you sit enjoying just looking at it instead of using it. It could be enormous, free energy forever, ready to be converted when you design the methods of capturing it. It's time. …”

BRR mission to rebuild Nias Island wraps up

Adianto P. Simamora, The Jakarta Post, Medan | Sat, 12/20/2008 9:44 AM 

 

After three and a half years on the job, BRR Nias, the agency overseeing the reconstruction of Nias Island, officially closed up shop Friday, leaving as its legacy nearly Rp 2 trillion worth of infrastructure.

 

BRR head Kuntoro Mang-kusubroto said that by December, the agency had handed over infrastructure assets valued at Rp 1.8 trillion (US$160 million), including houses, roads, government offices, medical facilities, schools and airports.



 


“But some of the road construction is still in the finishing stages so that will be transferred in January,” Kuntoro told reporters in Medan before departing for the Nias capital of Gunung Sitoli.

 

The BRR also handed over on Friday a well-furnished local parliament building worth Rp 9.3 billion.

 

Kuntoro said the closure of the BRR office in Nias would be followed by the end of the agency’s mission in Aceh, the region hardest hit by the devastating tsunami in December 2004. “We have so far closed several offices in Banda Aceh. We hope to close the BRR office in Lhokseumawe on Tuesday,” he added.

 

The BRR, tasked with the recovery of the tsunami-ravaged areas in both Aceh and Nias, will have to end its mission by April 2009.

 

The agency started the rehabilitation in Nias in June 2005, three months after a devastating earthquake flattened the island.

 

The disaster cost Nias, one of the poorest regencies in North Sumatra, nearly 1,000 lives and about Rp 6 trillion in total damage.

 

Kuntoro said there was no need to worry about the capability of the local workforce in managing the assets.

 

“We have provided a series of training workshops for local residents, including the local administration staff. Let them develop self-reliance,” he said.

 

Vice President Jusuf Kalla had earlier expressed concern about the sustainability of the reconstruction projects in Nias because of the local workforce’s lack of skills.

 

Kalla asked donor countries involved in the Aceh and Nias rehabilitation projects to help sustain the projects by such means as providing scholarships to local people.

 

Kuntoro said that the BRR had also helped revive economic development by rebuilding the maritime, fishery, agriculture and tourism sectors, which were worst affected by the tsunami.

 

Former environment minister Emil Salim, representing the BRR supervisory board, praised the work of the agency after the tsunami.

 

“The government needs to adopt the working system of the BRR to speed up the construction of infrastructure across the rest of the country, including housing,” Emil said.
