In 1968, I lived right here: https://goo.gl/maps/5KuSmrGS8N7Jcjoq7

That is 65 miles north of "The Cape". Both are exactly where we left them, 55 years ago.

Just got this notification on my phone. Can't start summer without scaring people early.

Don't forget to buy an EV this year to save the temperature frail elderly. Cabal owned businesses and their legal lobbying teams need your money.

There's more that's happening in the climate mitigation arena. It's not just about EVs.

Yeah, it's also giant, bird-whacking gee-haw whimmy diddles.

And "invisible" solar-electric panels.

Not literally invisible. Just artfully camouflaged to look like curved terracotta roof tiles. Ideal for preserving the look of "heritage" architecture.

None other than the "Electric Viking" himself explains how this Dyaqua Invisible Solar Roof Tile product has drawn the interest of the Italian antiquities preservation "boffins".

Yes, you are a barrel of laughs. Why didn't you tell us what they are and why are not telling us ?

Unless you do, I am not going to tell you a sure fire way to cut in half 50% of CO2 emissions.

Ok rinselberg. It is not a scheme. It is sure fire. As you will have to agree.
Global Warming is a scheme.

First, I have to warn you that you will have to make extreme sacrifices. Secondly, it is going to be quite expensive, sacrifices as well as money. I have to wonder. Do you know what ROI means ?

Yes.

For some, it means:


Ranting On the Internet

Ranting because if someone has a positive ROI, he obviously didn't pay enough taxes.

YouTube'r "The Electric Viking" has just reported on the prospects for mining Rare Earth Elements in "bigly" quantities, in North Dakota.

The list of valuable minerals and other resources that could be recovered from lignite deposits in North Dakota is veritably as "long as your arm"; to wit: aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barite, beryllium, bismuth, cesium, chromium, cobalt, fluorspar, gallium, germanium, graphite, hafnium, helium, indium, lithium, magnesium, manganese, niobium, platinum group metals, potash, rhenium, rubidium, strontium, tantalum, tellurium, tin, titanium, tungsten, uranium, vanadium, and zirconium.

From this list, cobalt and lithium in particular will grab the eye of anyone who's familiar with EVs and EV batteries and what's needed to produce them.

The Electric Viking, who sometimes goes by the moniker of "Sam Evans", is talking about a new report from the North Dakota Geological Survey. These are geologists who work for the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources:

"Elevated critical mineral concentrations associated with the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maxium, Golden Valley Formation, North Dakota"
Edward C. Murphy, Levi D. Moxness, and Ned W. Kruger; Report of Investigation #133; North Dakota Geological Survey; 2023.
https:/ /www.dmr.nd.gov/dmr/...20North%20Dakota.pdf

That's the full report in PDF format; here's the press release:
https://www.dmr.nd.gov/dmr/...rt-investigation-133

Here's another press release, or maybe part of the same press release, but in more conveniently readable format:

"North Dakota researchers develop critical minerals exploration model"
Mining Engineering; April 26, 2023.
https://me.smenet.org/webCo...fm?webarticleid=4330

The Electric Viking's report on YouTube is an eight and a half-minute video tour de force, as Viking fans have come to expect.
https://youtu.be/YkL0wYs2v8I

At the same time as this tantalizing prospect for the future of Rare Earths and other critical EV-relevant minerals mining in North Dakota, the Viking explains how some EV makers are working with EV drivetrains that do not use as much or even any of the metals and minerals that are cited as concerns for an expanded EV future. Instead of EV motors that incorporate permanent magnets, they are using electro-magnets, which can be made from more easily resourced materials like copper and steel.


No one ever made money by betting against The Electric Viking. (At least, no one that I know of.)

The Electric Viking is the nightmare that keeps your gas or diesel-powered road vehicle(s) from sleeping soundly when parked or garaged.
