WHY DID CHINA USE SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS TOO BUY ASSETS Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Sovereign Wealth Funds have been around for decades, but were not seen as a serious player in the global economy until 2005 when the US Federal Reserve, who were worried about the growing US budget deficit, made it clear they would not tolerate sovereign wealth funds buying up US assets This was seen as an attempt to protect the US economy and the US Dollar from the China threat Shortly thereafter, the US Congress passed the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007, and China announced that they would no longer buy US assets https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/PLAW-110publ49 With the US out of the picture, Chinese investors started to look elsewhere in the world for opportunities In 2007, the Chinese government created a sovereign wealth fund called the China Investment Corporation, and the next year it was announced that the CIC would be buying 10% of Blackstone Group, a US private equity firm The CIC's investment in Blackstone was seen as an investment in the US, and it was also seen as a way to get around the foreign ownership restrictions in China, and to invest in companies in China that were listed on the NYSE and other international stock exchanges In 2009, the CIC invested $3 billion in Morgan Stanley, and $5 billion in the Blackstone Group, valuing the two companies at $37 5 billion and $37 billion, respectively The CIC's Canadian investments have not always fared well. The fund bought a 17.2 percent stake in Canadian miner Teck Resources Ltd TCKb.TO in July 2009 for C$1.74 billion (£836.5 million). That stake has lost 72 percent of its value and is now worth C$492.3 million currently. CIC's bets on a string of other Canadian resource companies including Penn West Petroleum Ltd PWT.TO, SouthGobi Resources Ltd SGQ.TO and Sunshine Oilsands 2012.HK have also soured. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-cn-invst-new-york/exclusive-chinas-sovereign-wealth-fund-to-open-first-u-s-office-sources-idUKKBN0TX22320151214 Cic bought a 9 percent stake in Thames water https://www.bbc.com/news/business-16643989.amp I At the height of the financial crisis the CIC invested $5.8 billion in Morgan Stanley. It also bought shares in aig. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-cic/chinas-cic-gives-breakdown-of-u-s-equity-stakes-idUSTRE6181K620100209 https://www.morganstanley.com/press-releases/morgan-stanley-receives-regulatory-approvals-for-cicc-stake-sale_8b63041b-0256-11e0-a939-47eef5319fc1.

The cic believes renewables are the future of energy production. This is an error. Nuclear energy is the only way to achieve energy volume for future growth. http://www.china-inv.cn/chinainven/xhtml/Media/2020EN.pdf In 2020 cic assets valuations were $1.2 trillion and net income was $108 billion.

The Age of the Unthinkable Way ( Financial ) Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

1. Prosperity is based on the law of righteousness. America is a land of promise because the people are righteous God fearing people. 2. God blesses those who are righteous 3. The people that possess that land of America must remain righteous to preserve their inheritance. 4. America is a choice land above all other lands: freedom, liberty, resources, law, and vision. 5. God will not tolerate an unrighteous people to possess America 6. Repentance from unrighteousness is restores a people to productivity, industrialism, and safety.

Energy 1.0 producing electricity from bacteria and sunlight and waste water Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

1. Yat Li developed a solar-microbial device to produced hydrogen. The Microbial fuel cell (MFC) uses bacteria to degrade organic matter and produce electricity. The Photoelectrical cell generating the electricity splits the water using electrolysis. 2. The Li, hybrid device is self-sustaining, “bio battery”. The two energy sources are waste water and sunlight. 3. The device relies on a bacteria known as electrogenic bacteria. The bacteria generates electric by “transferring metabolically generated electrons across their cell membrane to an external electrode.”

Energy 1.0 nasa lenr model Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

1. LENR uses slow moving neutrons in a lattice with 1 ev of energy, one millionth of a fast moving electron 2. LENR slow moving neutrons do not create ionizing radiation nor radioactive waste 3. hydrogen ions are put in a nickel lattice. The lattice is vibrate between 5 to 30 teraherz forcing the nickel electrons into the hydrogen ions forming slowing moving neutrons. The nickel absorbs the neutrons making it unstable. To regain stability, the nickel strips a neutron of its electron becoming a proton. Nickel is turned into copper and products alot of excess heat.

Energy 1.0 Sun cell 40x the power of hydrino ions Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

22 years to create a breakthrough energy production available in 2018 Suncell He solved why an electron does not give off more energy as it gets closer to the proton. Randall says the electron defies conventional physics. He says electrons position is predictable and quantum infinities and parrell universe theory is nonsensical Randall discovered a form of hydrogen that does not emit light. This new form of hydrogen has massive power density. Hence the commercial application in the production of energy. Hydrinos ions have 16 times the energy characteristics of normal hydrogen ions. Hydrinos ions were used to create an arch reaction of 5 million watts at a micro second at ultra high frequencies. 40 x power output was achieved. The bursts were increased in frequency by automation to create sustainable power output.

Energy 1.0 Hydrogen is cost effective. 1 kilogram of hydrogen cost $1 and yielding 73 miles Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

Hydrogen cost $1 per kilogram or the equilivant of 1 gallon of gasoline, to produce. It takes three gallons of water to produce 1 kilogram of hydrogen or 1000 gallons of water to produce a 333 kilogram or 50 gallon drum.

There are 1740 fuel cell cars in Japan and 4000 world wide. 4. Japan wants energy independence. Hydrogen as a fuel source will provide Japan an energy independence. Reference Link 5. A cars fuel cell stack and hydrogen tank can power a home for up to a week in an emergency. 6. After Fukashima, Japan lost one third of its energy production due to nuclear plant shutdowns. 7. Toyota release 5,600 patents for companies to use to bring fuel cell cars to market, faster.

Energy 1.0 hydrogen from salt water Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

1. Solar energy water splitting panels create hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles. 2. A small amount of silicon and cobalt grown into a nanostructured thin films of iron oxide convert sunlight into electrons needed to form hydrogen from water. Cauliflower like structures have high surface area for splitting water. The silicon improves electron conductivity in the material. The cobalt acts as a catalyst. (Reference Link) 3. hypersolar generator produces hydrogen from salt water. (Reference Link) 4. Waste water can be used to produce electricity or hydrogen. (Reference Link) 5. The Electrolytic Cation Exchange Module is being used by Navy research to produce synthetic fuel ( liquid natural gas ) and hydrogen from salt water. (Reference Link) 6. Nanoflowcell uses salt water to create an electric charge which is stored in super capacitors. The car cars two 200 liter tanks with a 373 mile range and four electric motors in the tires.
