    I saw the worlds largest wind turbine up in nc mtns in late 70s. & in mid 90s. Saw a wind farm near barstow ca. Was interesting as was just starting for the nite. i live on an east west corridor in missouri & see em go by alot. I also see pics of em on nearby barges. Im mostly all for it. Also driving thru wyo in mid 2000s. I saw old windmills refurbished to pump oil.

    Your mention of fracking touched a nerve. Ten to 15 years ago years ago Oklahoma was the most seismically active state in the nation , ahead of California by threefold in 2014!
    Hey, California: Oklahoma had 3 times as many earthquakes in 2014 - Reveal
    Here's Why Oklahoma May Be Having So Many Earthquakes
    Earthquakes, rare in the state before 2009, suddenly increased exponentially, from an average of fewer than two 3.0+ magnitude earthquakes per year since 1978 to hundreds each year in the 2014–17 period. Oklahoma has had a surge of earthquakes since 2009. Are they due to fracking? | U.S. Geological Survey
    In 2016, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake in north-central Oklahoma was felt as far away as Arizona, Arizona and south Texas. It was scary. I'd be awakened with my bed shaking and stuff falling off shelves.

    Unlike California, these were earthquake "swarms" caused by shifting human activity. Several scientific studies linked it to the increase in fracking with the "oil boom" during the period.
    Here's Why Oklahoma May Be Having So Many Earthquakes
    Oklahoma's earthquakes strongly linked to wastewater injection depth
    Oklahoma's rise in quakes linked to man-made causes
    By the end of 2016, Oklahoma introduced new regulations limiting fracking by 40%. Voila! The rate of earthquakes fell off dramatically.
    AP: Man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma decline after new regulations
    Last year, the rate of quakes was the lowest in decades, thanks to the regs and the decline in the price of oil.
    Oklahoma’s 2022 Earthquake Count lowest in over a decade
    I've been sleeping soundly ever since!

    Wow that is some lists of disaster. I am imagining that your brothers land title did not include mineral rights for such a thing to happen ?

    I am betting that we will have national bankruptcy before those disasters kick in.

    Correct.
    Most of the area had the surface rights and minerals rights separated back in the 1800s. He lives about ten miles from the West Virginia border, an area that's been mined for years.

    When I lived in that area we found a natural gas leak bubbling up through the stream that went through our property. We called the gas company and they came to look at it. They said they had no idea whose gas line it was as the area was littered with gas lines that were over a hundred years old and there were no maps identifying the lines.
    They never did anything. Probably still leaking.

    Room and pillar mining was the norm until the 1960s when long wall mining took over. In room and pillar sections of coal are removed but pillars of coal are left in place to support the surface.
    In long wall mining the pillars are removed and the surface collapses.

    Here's a picture of the Edna No. 1 mine about a half mile from my parents house. Note the waste piles in the background.

    We used to ride dirt bikes all over piles like that. Great for riding dirt bikes, terrible for the environment.
    Here's the remains of another mine at Hermine.

    When comparing wind farms to coal and natural gas extraction, not to mention the burning of those fuels, there is no comparison.

    One of the tricks of the coal industry is to sell off low producing mines to a lesser company.
    Federal law requires the companies to reclaim the land after mining so they form these small companies, transfer the obligation to them, and then the small companies declare bankruptcy.

    Result? No one left to clean up the mess.
    And that's not counting the damages to the environment.

    Thanks plz listen to john prines song paradise. Coincidentally my family & i were flying in a private plane over the same area. My older brother took several pics. From various altitudes my dad circled. Had i enuff sense back then i shoulda sent copies to various organizations. Not sure if these were burnt in one of our house fires.

    Ah capitalism! You gotta love it. Course doesn’t work so well for the 98% of us who are not wealthy. But the Rs keep telling us we’re gonna be winners and everyone else the losers….right,yea.

    We may have had capitalism betwixt closure of 2nd natl bank & formation of fed reserve. But since that, we moved into whats called fiat currency.

    One thing that I would like to say right out of the gate is that I think it’s important to make clear that I see a direct link between Cold Fusion and Newtonian Alchemy.

    If anyone were to study Sir Isaac Newton’s Alchemy thoroughly, you would come to the realization at some point that he saw a direct and sharp distinction between merely “mechanical” Chemical Reactions which are nothing more than the rearrangement of “larger corpuscles”, as opposed to something else which he called “Vegetation”. This Vegetation happens at a tinier and even more microscopic level and at the very underlying fabric of particles or “corpuscles” in a self-directing fashion.

    Here is one source of many that talks about these concepts:

    https://history.duke.edu/sites/history.duke.edu/files/documents/Newman Colloquium Paper 2014.pdf

    In other words, mechanical chemical changes and rearrangements were just “vulgar Chemistry” according to Newton, while Vegetation was true Transmutation.

    Contrast these ideas with the difference between a Chemical Reaction vs. a Nuclear Reaction and you can hopefully see why I see a direct connotation between a Nuclear Reaction and real Transmutation. The Cold Fusion book, “Nuclear Transmutation” by Tadahiko Mizuno seems to back up this claim of mine.

    Newton also claimed that real Transmutations were happening both in Stars and at the core of the Earth, as well as on Comets (read the book, “Cold Fusion: The Making of a Scientific Controversy” (1989) by F. David Peat and you will find very striking similarities regarding Fusion happening in Comets and the core of the Earth mentioned by the author).

    So if one were to be able to recreate these Transmutations or Vegetation in a laboratory tabletop setting at room temperature, this is why I conclude that:

    Cold Fusion = Alchemy

    With that established, I would like to next turn to the work of Dean Radin and IONS.

    Radin studies psychic phenomena, or Psi, and many studies of his along with his books (see “Real Magic” (2018)) point to evidence that one’s Consciousness can interact with and/or influence matter on the Quantum level.

    Here is one of many studies of his:

    https://www.researchgate.net/public...tions_with_a_double-slit_interference_pattern

    I myself have experimented with the effects of Consciousness on fields of Probability, first experimenting with non-biased Dice. I conducted 25,000 rolls of a singular Vegas die between 2017-2019 and had results that went far beyond the mean.

    The Test was simple and along the same lineage as conducted by Radin, J.B. Rhine at Duke University, among others: Use Mental Intention to try to influence the die to roll a desired number. This “Chosen Number” always remained the same throughout every test conducted.

    After 25 tests of 1,000 rolls per test, the results were staggering:

    11/25 of the tests had some particular side or number surpass two standard deviations out of 1,000 rolls.

    5/25 tests were of my one and only “Chosen Number” for Mental Intention that surpassed two standard deviations.

    5/25 tests were of a second number surpassing two standard deviations. I call this the “Rival Number” as it seemed to be “competing” with my “Chosen Number”. (The reasons for why this second number made its presence known is still under further investigation, but I currently relate it to a Quantum Mechanical concept that Jack Sarfatti calls “back-action”.)
    https://philarchive.org/archive/PYLITB

    1/25 tests was a Third Number that surpassed two standard deviations only once, but which also set the record for highest tally in a single test.

    The facts are that somehow, these results went far beyond average. As one Mathematician told me on Quora:

    …“if we consider one particular face, it’s the same idea; every test of 1000 rolls has a 2.3% probability to surpass 191/1000. You do 25 tests, yielding yet another binomial distribution, this time with =25n=25 and =0.02301p=0.02301. The probability that that happens exactly five times is 0.000215142, and the probability that it happens five or more times is 0.000233172.

    If you consider all possible faces, it gets a bit more complicated to work it out exactly, but the probability is at most six times the figures I computed above. (This trick is called the union bound.)

    I don’t know or care what other people “consider rare”, but it seems like a rather low probability to me. :)

    “that’s two hundredths of 1%.“

    How many rolls out of 1,000 for any particular side of a non-biased Vegas die would surpass two standard deviations? - Quora

    To put it mildly, my results are very very unusual and rare statistically speaking. I have graduated from Dice and currently moved on to a truly random Quantum Radioactive Decay RNG. This will remove various interpretive issues that can arise from Dice rolling (such as the claim that I’m doing some sleight-of-hand physical technique or trick.) Results are very interesting so far but have only just begun in the past few months, and currently delayed by a house flood and remodeling while I am relocated to a new location and my RNG is in storage. It’s far too early to make any final deductions or conclusions at this moment.

    But Radin already has a wealth of studies regarding RNG as well, and with positive results above average. In fact, RNG is the largest database of Psi studies I believe. Human Verification

    So where am I going with all of this? Well, it’s simple, actually.

    I think you need to marry together Psychokinesis with a Cold Fusion experiment(s) in order to truly yield irrefutable results.

    The evidence is there that you can influence matter on the Quantum level and that Consciousness indeed collapses the wave function as per the Von Neumann-Wigner Interpretation.

    I believe that the Dice can also be influenced on the Classical level because I ultimately see any sort of dividing line between the Quantum and Classical as illusory.

    In fact, it was my own independent theory that Consciousness can influence the double-slit experiment that led to my Dice tests in the very first place. I didn’t have access to the equipment needed to do the Quantum version of the test, so since I don’t believe there’s any true “line” separating the Quantum and Classical regimes, I decided to do non-biased Dice instead. The RNG tests are now being conducted to verify my original thesis that these violations of the No-Communication Theorem can happen at every level, both Quantum and Classical.

    I then came across the work of Radin and IONS while in the middle of my Dice tests, and have communicated via email with Radin at various moments.

    I have a lifelong project of a theoretical basis for all of this that I'm currently working on, but I see it as nothing short of Quantum Gravity, or what I instead like to call Volity.

    Volity is a “volitional, yet volatile” Quantum Gravity, but is distinguished from merely being called “Quantum Gravity” due to the fact that it is incorporating Consciousness into the situation. It’s proposing that Quantum Gravity NEEDS Consciousness. Psi effects can be seen as a sort of “mental Gravity” that exists on the Quantum level but that can also be zoomed out into the macro. This is why Psi has effects on both Dice and Quantum radioactive decay RNG.

    I can go into more theoretical ideas on the details of Volity at one’s request, but for now I would simply like to announce its existence as a hypothesized solution to the iffy Probability problem of Cold Fusion. Digest all of this for now.

    I should also add that Psychedelics in conjunction with the experiment would be useful. One of my best tests was while on LSD.

    Thanks for confirming my suspicions about where you remarkable "insights" are coming from.
