Altar L in Copan and the 4 bankrupt Westinghouse reactors at Vogtle, GA


I am interested in collapse, when things fall apart.

Sometimes collapse is a divorce of two formerly allied alphas battling for supremacy of their smoking rubble empire, while civilians die or if they have the means, flee with their lives.

However other collapses are the result of bankruptcy.

Alphas gamble resources to acquire competitive advantages or they have nothing left to lose. Sometimes there are no other choices but to gamble and risk losing. When you have nothing left to lose the best choice is to pay criminals to cross the Mediterranean and risk death or the US border and risk imprisonment.

Civilizations require electricity. New coal generation is out. 

Sometimes the only choice is to hire the company that built the 3 Mile Island disaster to build new power plants on your property. And they were first approved since the disaster.

Utilities in the South Carolina and Georgia contracted Westinghouse to build 4 reactors designed to solve problems with construction cost overruns and operating safety.

Westinghouse has declared bankruptcy. The plants are left unfinished. Monuments to collapse. The American nuclear industries version of Copan's Altar L.

How to consider the issues?

Micro issues
- declining marginal returns
- declining debt productivity
- increasing complexity
- alphas toshiba vs alphas westinghouse vs alphas cbi

Macro issues
- USA quit fail industry - military excluded
- global industry - who is left
- energy future construction
- energy future generation
- energy future capacity

triple paned glass windows or cold fusion

numbers dont lie by vaclav smil why understanding how humans hunt is essential to understanding why millions continues to be spent on cold fusion projects instead of triple paned windows. why not start with what is proven? windows. smil explains that triple glazed windows can create savings of 90% - no other opportunities for billions of units. cost 15% more. why isnt this done? because it doesnt hunt. no hunter is going to acquire large solar surplus from the being the "johnny appleseed of triple glazed windows" in the same way the way that hunters can create surplus gains from investing the chance at discovering and controlling cold fusion. why are large surpluses found at the frontier - fusion vs windows? the chance at property rights. there are no 10x or 10,000x multiples for investors in triple glazing. all the benefits from paying to replace acrue to the homeowner. the key is to find the right investor. utilities will offer rebates to install energy efficiencies. since ...
