Gundam Fire Still

The African Community encompassed most of the area east of the equator, and ran south along the west coast to the vicinity of present-day Angola - a vast barren land that would have continued to be ignored had it not been for the energy revolution....

The "two federations" knew this and prepared for it in secret.

(In the future, I will often use "Africa" in quotation marks to refer to this country - to distinguish it from the geographical Africa.)

On the other side of Africa, the Republic of South Africa, already a major player in southern Africa since the AD era, and already possessing a unique power in the region, has cautiously expanded its influence along the east coast to include the DRC, Uganda, Kenya (and of course Madagascar), and has just crossed the equator. The name of the new state was also rather subtle - "south-afriion" ...

The creation of the "oia-union", which is basically just Australia (and New Zealand, actually) changing its country name, is a really unglamorous and unorthodox thing to do....

Among the many factors that have changed the world, the oil crisis is probably not a positive one. However, to be precise, the depletion is due to oil extraction rather than the resource itself - and since the futures price of the slimy black liquid is deadlocked at $200 per barrel, the search has been on for more economical alternatives....

If the lifeblood of energy in the age of ad was oil, coal and natural gas, then in the age of ce, it was nuclear power, solar power and ------ corn and soybeans that drove the "wheels" of history forward with self-respect...********************

Note 1: It is worth noting that the "United Kingdom" has finally dropped its "North" - the annexation of Ireland by Northern Ireland of the British Empire, with the support of the American demon, was another way of solving the "Northern Ireland" problem ...

Note 2: Inspired by a cartoon satirizing Iran's "peaceful development of nuclear energy" - a desk lamp rests on a large, round nuclear bomb with a wire sticking out of the lamp base and connected to the bomb body.

Surely mankind cannot be so naïve as to be prepared to take measures when the reserves of fossil fuels are completely depleted.

With dwindling recoverable reserves, there is still at least half a century to go before the "oil apocalypse," but the fears of oil shortages and wars for oil that have arisen cannot be extinguished (the capitalists are really far-sighted ~).aD From the end of the decade to the beginning of CE, the price of oil has risen to a point where it is almost as if it wants to destroy the economies of all countries. Not less than $300/barrel!

And the worsening and looming environmental problems were the last straw that broke the camel's back...

After that, mankind finally decided to end the fossil fuel era - the UN's justification for setting the year ce is so lame compared to such an important decision - the Kashmiri nuke is a non-issue!

However, good intentions still need enough power to be realized, and the development and progress of human society in the new millennium will require more, not less, energy - even if we have greatly increased the rate of use...

It is well known that the only way to solve the energy problem is through the massive use of nuclear energy - and that nuclear fission releases energy far more efficiently than any other method previously used by mankind.

Hydro, wind, geothermal energy, ocean energy ... may sound exciting, but this and mankind has been consumed and forced to give up 1 trillion barrels of oil, 120 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, 1 trillion tons of coal, compared still seems a drop in the bucket - not to mention, hydroelectric power plants themselves is a great weapon of environmental destruction, the latter several items and many restrictions and low economy ... ...

Then, the operationalization of fast breeder reactors (the uranium-235 that can undergo nuclear reactions accounts for only 0.7% of the natural uranium element, while fast neutron reactors can utilize the other 99.3% of uranium-238, with a much higher fuel utilization rate than the current thermal neutron reactors) completely resolved the nuclear fuel shortage dilemma, and played an indispensable and positive role in maintaining peace on earth during the CE era. Otherwise, after oil, we'll soon be fighting over precious uranium resources ...

However, while nuclear power is a perfect "energy source" (inexhaustible, not to mention the long-awaited controlled fusion ~), electricity is not a suitable "power source".

Away from fixed grids and a few microwave power facilities, batteries of this era are no match for chemical fuels in terms of size, weight or energy storage. And, in the increasingly important field of aviation and aerospace, which is at the helm of a new era, current technology says "no" to electricity - propeller planes with batteries are just fine, but engineers can't imagine getting jets and rockets into the air without chemical fuel... ...

As a result, biofuels have become popular, and the black gold that once flowed from rock formations has been replaced by soybean oil, corn oil and peanut oil, which smell like earth.

These crops are natural fuel plants, and the ethanol extracted from them continues to drive cars, ships and planes in...and, of course, space ships.

On the other hand, the carbon dioxide produced by biofuels will eventually be re-fixed into the plants, so there is no impact on the atmospheric carbon cycle (it doesn't release the carbon that was stored in the Earth's crust into the atmosphere like burning fossil fuels) - in fact, the extensive use of biofuels by spacecraft will continue to bring excess carbon out of the Earth, helping to improve the greenhouse effect....

Of course, the impact of the energy revolution can never be described in a few short sentences - but this article doesn't need to cover it all (laughs).

However, the most visible changes should include at least -

****

The rapid decline of former energy (fossil fuel) exporters.

Not only did they lose their energy weaponry, but the day came when their neighbors threatened to "stop supplying soybean oil" (this may be retribution, or the irony of history), and the Russian people quickly abandoned the authoritarian-Regime of The-great-Putin and went into the arms of Europe - just as they had almost buried the democratic Russian Federation (Russian Federation) with applause....

The Arab countries are defenseless in the face of the "New Crusade", surrendering the Holy Land of Jerusalem is only the first step in its "conquest" under the "New Eurasian Federal Order" - by the way, without Israel's accession to the European Union and the great energy of the Jewish lobby in Washington, the price of American withdrawal from the Middle East would be much higher ... ...

Venezuela is busy kissing Uncle Sam (or is it Her Majesty the Queen?) with a strap-on President Chávez is now a "traitor, traitor and industrial thief"... ...

Europe and North America are finally done fighting over "agricultural subsidies" from the WTO all the way to the United Nations.

Both food and fuel crops take up land (and prime arable land at that), and supply and demand tensions have increased the prices of all agricultural products and increased profits significantly.

As a result, distant-water fishing has flourished, and national disputes over the ownership of fishing grounds have compensated considerably for the lacklustre atmosphere in the WTo following the settlement of agricultural subsidies - nearly a third of all arbitrations each year involve the allocation of marine resources...

Meanwhile, with illegal fishing vessels ignoring national protective fishing bans and joint multinational enforcement plagued by the aforementioned economic disputes (governments are scared to death by the fact that enforcement is subordinate to sovereignty, allowing others to enforce in their "own" EEZs), the Coast Guard is frustrated and embarrassed ...

On the other hand, the smooth transition of energy conglomerates in the developed world (I'm considering whether to call them "agricultural tycoons") has created a new problem: energy giants such as Mobil and Shell are trying to persuade their governments to open up to GM crops - Europe has completely banned the production and sale of GM food, and GM fuel crops cannot be grown on Western European soil; the Atlantic confederation is similarly restrictive...

The good news is that African and South American governments are not worrying unnecessarily about whether there are anomalies in the genetic sequence of soybeans - or are they afraid to worry? ........

(These two countries are on the food "no-go" list in Europe and the United States because of the mixing of genetically modified plants and common crops ...)

Agriculture, a traditional strength of South America, has lost all initiative in the face of the fierce political and economic blows of the Atlantic Confederation.

South America was called the "United States of America", but the power struggle among the three founding countries eventually forced the re-establishment of "Chile", "Argentina", "Brazil" and "Argentina". "The three "Big-States"". This backtracking almost brought South America back into a de facto state of division, and gave the Atlantic Confederation the opportunity to break down each side - more precisely, this "opportunity" was already secretly created by Washington, and its planning dates back even before the support for South American integration...

Economically, the Commonwealth balanced South American crop prices with Australian and African fuel futures (they were just beginning their environmental transformation); politically, it differentiated itself by dividing the three South American countries with temporary concessions, resulting in a never-unified position.

This double-dealing continued until African agriculture got on track and the Atlantic-Oceania-Free-trade-agreement came into force, after which South American corn and soybean prices were subject only to the needs of the London Futures Exchange.

In the ensuing 1940s, South America's efforts to become a "world state" were eventually defeated by **domestic politics** and heavy sanctions from the North, and once again the 500 million South Americans were saddled with huge debts. As part of the repayment of arrears, North America's energy giants in the Brazilian plains to start a big "enclosure movement" - the price of corn and soybeans from now on to the White House and Wall Street to agree ... ...

History tells us that capitalism has driven sheep to eat people. In the future, technological development may be able to do the same for maize - the land of the "African Community", where every year a comic scene is repeated.

The agro-parks are full of good tall maize and low soya beans, their yellow or bulbous grains seemingly mouth-watering... At the same time, half of the country's 700 million people have to rely on UN humanitarian aid to get by, as 80% of the country's arable land is planted with genetically modified maize and soya beans that are too rich in oil and fat to be eaten! (It is not known if they also have side effects on the soil ~) and they do not belong to the African people.

According to the consensus reached at the Food-and-agriculture-organization (Fao) Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 1989, to transform Africa into another world, as opposed to the deserts of the Middle East and the semi-desertification hills of Central Asia. The granary (fuel tank?) It is the more realistic and economical option.
