Radiation hotspot detected in Tokyo: As the nightmare scenario of evacuating the 13 million from the Tokyo Metropole came a step closer, the British Government announced there is NO PROBLEM and it has identified eight potential sites in England and Wales for new nuclear power stations by 2025.
TOKYO — […] Japanese media said researchers found radiation levels of 3.35 microsieverts per hour along a street in the west of [Tokyo] — 220 kilometres (136 miles) from Fukushima — much higher than previously reported levels. […]
[…] Radiation levels in the area have not fallen since [Setagaya] ward’s efforts to decontaminate it on October 6, and authorities are instructing children to avoid the walkway as they go to school.
Setagaya Mayor Nobuto Hosaka told TBS: “I thought the reading must be a mistake when I first heard” […]
Later reports claimed the radioactivity is coming from ’empty bottles in an abandoned basement’ and is ‘unconnected with Fukushima’.
So… what the hell? Police forces in five major cities all just happened to decide to make a major alpha-male display on the same night? And all backed down, except for Boston – where the cops took out the smaller, overflow camp.
This is weird. And creepy. And stinks of some kind of national coordination.
Both the mayors from Boston and Seattle told us one thing, but the police followed different orders. Where did these orders come from?
Boston police used the lamest excuse in history for why they had to arrest the occupiers: “To protect the new delicate plantings in the park”. Watch this great video, which shows Boston police violently throwing demonstrators through the oh-so-delicate plantings they were protecting from those messy, inconsiderate occupiers:

For nearly 100 years we have been forced to use petroleum, causing environmental devastation, runaway climate change and the agonizing deaths of countless millions of us through air pollution.
Now at last, with Climate Chaos becoming a daily reality, people are starting to ‘discover’ that a CO2, NOx and SOx FREE alternative has existed all along.
We are doing a micro campaign on this blog in favour of this CO2-free fuel. It’s a reformist solution, but one that’s available NOW
The criminal oil industry wants to close blogs like this, afraid prices would collapse if we started making NH3 car fuel.. locally with just wind, air and water
Please can you help? We need lots of free publicity and to persuade ‘respectable’ blogs, magazines, etc to write about it.
I’ve done some research and lots of posts and links you can view HERE (click below if you’re not already in this section)
NH3 is the closest thing to a perfect transportation fuel.
NH3 is an ultra-clean, energy-dense alternative liquid fuel.
Along with hydrogen, NH3 is the only fuel that does not produce any Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion.
NH3 combustion: 4NH3 + 3O2 2N2 + 6H2O (nitrogen and water vapor)
NH3 is Practical
The first utilization of liquid NH3 as a fuel for motor-buses took place in Belgium during 1943. The motor-bus fleet logged 1,000’s of miles during WWII.
18% hydrogen by weight
NH3 is a liquid fuel at ambient temperatures and moderate pressures (~125 psi)
NH3 has 52% of the energy density of gasoline, and is over 50% more energy dense per gallon than cryogenic liquid hydrogen
Can be used to drive fuel cells, and fuel internal combustion engines (ICE) and combustion turbines
Converting gasoline and diesel ICEs to run on NH3 is relatively straightforward
Can be economically and safely stored and delivered in large quantities
A sustainable, carbon-free fuel for back-up and ‘peaker’ eletricity capacity generation
Will help free us from dependence on imported oil – fossil fuel
I found it, thanks to Proton Ventures http://www.protonchemie.com/NFUEL.htmlThis is it, a process that is CO2 free, which makes a fuel that’s also CO2 free when burned.And it’s cheap and safer than petroleum. Free also of NOx and SOx pollution that KILLS millions of usPlus ALL combustion engines can be adapted to run on it.Q E D… This is a viable answer to cut CO2 emissions by 30% plus (transport)The rest is politics, capitalism, greed and criminal trashing of the planet.
Why NH3?
Our Mission
The mission of the NH3 Fuel Association is to promote the implementation of NH3 as an affordable, sustainable, carbon-free fuel for transportation and stationary power applications, thereby enhancing economic security, reducing fossil-fuel dependence, and helping save the environment.
Addiction to imported petroleum carries with it huge economic, environmental and security risks . The search for a domestically produced, economical and environmentally friendly fuel has led to one acceptable solution: anhydrous ammonia (NH3). Also known as “the other hydrogen” NH3 is the closest thing to a perfect transportation fuel.
NH3 is an ultra-clean, energy-dense alternative liquid fuel.
Along with hydrogen, NH3 is the only fuel that does not produce any Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion.
Hydrogen combustion: 2H2 + O2 2H2O (water vapor)
NH3 combustion: 4NH3 + 3O2 2N2 + 6H2O (nitrogen and water vapor)

NH3 is Available
Current worldwide annual production is -130 million tons – primarily produced from natural gas and coal. China is the #1 producer at 30 million tons annually
20 million tons of NH3 and NH3-based fertilizers are consumed annually in the US as fertilizer (equivalent in energy to ~3.5 billion gallons of gasoline)
Storage and delivery infrastructure of pipelines, barges, rail and truck already exists (3,000+ miles of pipeline in the US; retail outlets exist in practically every state, 800 outlets in Iowa alone)
Can be produced cleanly from coal and natural gas with carbon sequestration, and also from biomass, renewable energy sources and nuclear power, using nitrogen from the air
Can be recovered from agricultural animal waste
Naturally produced in legumes (via nitrogenase bacteria)
Is an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, allowing NH3 vehicles to qualify for fleet sale
NH3 is Low Cost
Comparable to or lower in price than gasoline on an equal energy basis
NH3 produced using renewable or nuclear source electricity will be stable in price and increasingly cheaper, per BTU, than fossil based fuels.
NH3 is Environmentally Friendly and Safe
Zero carbon, no resultant Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion
NOx is easily neutralized (NH3 is used as the active chemical reactant in NOx reduction, and CO2 and SO2 capture)
If released NH3 in an accident NH3 is very difficult to ignite, is lighter than air (dissipates upwards), and its odor alerts
NH3 is not a Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Will not damage the ozone layer
The X-15 rocket plane set speed and altitude records in the 1960s powered by NH3. Wind-generated electricity can be locally converted to NH3 for fertilizer and fuel, without expansion of the electricity transmission grid.
NH3 pipelines and storage terminals cross the agricultural midsection of the United States – an example of existing infrastructure that allows low cost, safe distribution of NH3. Storage is in refrigerated, liquid, above-ground steel tanks. NH3 is also transported by a broad array of existing rail, ship, and truck transports.
What if we do not need to wait for the hydrogen future of the year 2030? What if our hydrogen future is within our grasp right now?
It is.
The one pollution free, hydrogen-based renewable fuel we could begin using today on a large scale is anhydrous ammonia, one of the most commonly synthesized chemical compounds on the planet. Anhydrous ammonia is already used worldwide as fertilizer for its nitrogen content, and delivered by a well-established and safe infrastructure. Due to its hydrogen content, anhydrous ammonia (NH3) can be used in both gas and diesel internal combustion engines with minor modifications, can be used in direct ammonia fuel cells, and can provide hydrogen feedstock for standard hydrogen fuel cells…..
At the same time, improved technologies are coming on-line including lower cost electrolyzers and an approach called solid-state ammonia synthesis (SSAS), which makes ammonia without making hydrogen as an interim step.Even with the existing electrolyzer and Haber-Bosch process, ammonia is cost competitive with gasoline retailing at prices above $3 per gallon.
Ammonia has a long and successful history as a substitute for petroleum based fuels……
Of course, ammonia is not without its challenges. Ammonia is an inhalation hazard and must be handled with respect. But, the world ammonia industry produces and delivers 130 million tons a year with an exemplary safety record. About 20 million tons of ammonia is consumed in the U.S. annually, largely as fertilizer, and delivered by truck, rail, barge, and 3,000 miles of small-diameter, underground carbon steel pipeline in the U.S. agricultural heartland. Ammonia is not classified as a flammable liquid by the DOT, and does not have the fire and explosion hazard of gasoline, natural gas, propane, or hydrogen. Although hazardous when inhaled, it is lighter than air and disperses into the atmosphere when released, and without residual harmful effects. Ammonia is not a greenhouse gas, and does not attack the ozone layer.
For ammonia to be in wide use as a transportation fuel, design standards for on-board ammonia fuel tanks must be established as well as procedures for ammonia transfer from storage to vehicle tanks, however much of this work is already in place…..
The best features of ammonia are those it shares with hydrogen: it can be used both in internal combustion engines and in fuel cells, it produces no greenhouse gasses on combustion, and it can be produced from a wide variety of renewable energy resources…..
If hydrogen is the answer to the energy challenge of peak oil, then there is absolutely no reason to wait. The better hydrogen future is ready right now with proven
Developing new carbon fuels will KILL US ALL
technology, from production and distribution to storage and engine modification. An aggressive program to use wind and solar power to generate this carbon-free fuel can create a sea of change in our energy policy. Ammonia fuel is not the one single answer to peak oil, because there is no single answer. But as an existing implementable strategy to cut greenhouse gases, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and create new green collar jobs, ammonia is the stepping stone to the hydrogen future that up until now seemed decades away. ….

This is not an official statement from the #OWS 99% Movement. As a decentralized leaderless movement, in our opinion, there is no one group, organization, website or individual who can speak for the movement as a whole.
We, a working group of people currently occupying Liberty Park and many other locations throughout the US, are growing increasingly concerned about divide and conquer attempts being made to co-opt the movement. In the following message, we are issuing our first proposed statement. If you agree with the statement, please post it to your website and/or spread it throughout your social networks, both online and offline at occupations throughout the country. If you would like to read this statement at your local GA meetings and vote or edit it, feel free. If you disagree with the statement, please air your disagreements – this is what democracy looks like.
We appreciate, respect and encourage endorsements from individuals and organizations. We invite them. However, just because an individual or organization endorses our movement, does not mean that they in any way have a leadership role in deciding the future direction of this movement. We will not be co-opted by hierarchical organizations. No matter how wonderful their cause may be…….
…We the People, We the 99%, are not the pawns of either wing of the two-party oligarchy.
We emphatically reject the attempted leadership of any political party, organization or individual. If there are elected officials or organizations who endorse our movement, we welcome them….
However, they must do so knowing this: Your voice will be just as loud as any other voice. We are led by no one. You cannot co-opt We The People.
We get a lot of stories about Iran’s efforts to get the Nuclear Bomb.
Because our Rulers hate the Iranians and want their oil.
But the Indians have already got there, with lots of help and juicy bribes from the West.
And now they’re hell bent on Fast Breeder Reactors, a technology abandoned for being too dangerous.
Indian macho gangster politicians are frantic to get the plutonium economy.
Diverting billions stolen from Indian workers to the obscenely competing Russians and Nth American war criminals.
To throw bigger and better bombs at the Pakistanis, next time round
and annihalate everybody many times more quickly.
Tamal Nadu heroes take on the Nuclear State
”On Aug. 17, a group of activists started a hunger strike near Koodankulam at the southern tip of Tamil Nadu state. The action was directed against Indian government plans to commission a 1000 MW Russian- built nuclear plant. Kalpakkam has already proven to be a dangerous hotspot. Here, in January 2003, a valve connecting a high-level radioactive liquid waste tank and a low level waste tank leaked, leading to radiation exposure for at least six employees, an unknown number of deaths, and temporary closure of Kalpakkam’s main plant. The Kalpakkam nuclear complex also holds the dubious distinction of having been flooded when the devastating tsunami of 2004 struck.
Kalpakkam hence is an additional reason for worries. Not least because the nuclear complex harbours a test reactor constructed towards enabling India build a plutonium economy. Indian peace activists have expressed suspicions that the plutonium separated at Indian civilian reprocessing facilities will be diverted and used to increase the country’s stock of atomic weapons.
These suspicions have not been allayed by recent developments. Since the beginning of this year, India boasts three reprocessing plants. Further, the U.S. government has in principle granted the Indian government permission to domestically reprocess fuel elements from reactors to be supplied under the 2008 U.S.-India deal. Hence, diversion of plutonium towards India’s weapons’ programme is well possible.
Every day 10,000 people or more would gather from the surrounding area to demonstrate their support. And every day support kept expanding, as students boycotted schools, merchants closed their shops, and gruel kitchens were set up in adjacent villages where fisher folk refused to go out to catch fish.
The reactors being installed at the plants in Koodankulam are Russian in origin. They are known as the VVER-1000/392 design. Though based on light-water reactors in use for long, the design is a new variant. Indian scientists have long questioned whether Russia’s VVER-1000 technology is safe. Doubts have further been fuelled by last March’s Fukushima disaster in Japan, and by the new assessments on nuclear safety made since then. In a report leaked to environmental organisations in June, an amalgam of Russian state agencies admitted that Russia’s nuclear industry is extremely vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters. Some 31 security flaws were listed.
The Anti Nuclear resistance is the biggest ever in India and deserves all support possible
