I think, that it is really a good move, to counter the threat of ISIS by the American administration. Here are my essential arguments.
Isis is all that is essentially negative with the development in the Middle East, add to this, it is also pretty unpopular.
So countering Isis makes the right balance of countering terror, without alienating all of Islam.
It contains the issue to a much smaller part of the Middle East, and leaves ample room for a good relationship to most other countries in the Middle East, it is the suave solution to the problem.
Then there is another reflection, that may help Mr. Biden in his attempt at heading the American administration for four more years.
When we talk about our globe, there has been a lot of attempts at getting the energy development right. It all comes down to trying to make solutions, that does not pollute.
Here Denmark is actually, and this I say with a great pride, leading in some of the technical solutions, wind mills being one of them.
But at the end of the day, Denmark cannot solve of the issues in the world, we need good friends to work with. Here the US, the UK and Germany, has always been our best friends. Together we may actually develop some of the solutions that may save nature.
At the end of the day, my idea has been to try and understand the technical development. Where does tech take us.
My experience, after having done a lot of research in the field is, that the bleeding edge of the technical development, is the CONVERSION of energy. First from electricity, then to hydrogen then to gasoline of a sort.
The problem is, that you loose some energy at each conversion, so research into the conversion process is really important.
But maybe Denmark and the US could work together here, we already work together with Germany and the good guys at Siemens. They have developed som amazing windmills that produce hydrogen IN the windmill, so the conversion is already happening in the windmill. Pretty cool, if you ask me. But we are also working on a small nuclear reactor, that is supposedly safe, using Thorium instead of plutonium.
All this leads, ideally, to a clean energy cycle, that can work with the existing infrastructure. BMW is producing a car running on hydrogen, but people prefer to buy a car they know, instead of some experimental car, and running on methanol is not far from running on gasoline.
In this way, you can acttually boost the whole industry of clean energy.
All we need now, is just getting Elon out of the rabbit hole he has delved into, and back into the positive game. Come on Elon, don’t go there. Be a positive and constructive force in the world. We need you man, don’t just go wherever the next click leads you, don’t. Think about it. You can do so much, we need your clear head in this game.
G-d bless the will to do good in this world.
