Circumpolar Agriculture & Coal Power Plants are a Safety Zone

ARCUS, the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States, they also run the Circumpolar Agricultural Conference otherwise known as Arctic Farming. These are the types of solutions that we should be focusing on, and this type of research is integral to shifting agricultural grow zones and substituting other species of plants as we shift hardiness zones. You’ve seen what’s happening with the jet stream shifts so far across the planet, it’s going to intensify.

We are absolutely on tap for a very cold winter, summer snow in Japan, they hadn’t had summer snow in Japan since 1972. ACRUS is actually looking for abstract submissions, if you have any ideas about Circumpolar Agriculture, they want to hear from you. This next conference is all about re-thinking local agriculture Arctic zones, innovation and perspectives. That’s really interesting timing that they’re moving into this realm when we’re intensifying into the Grand Solar Minimum and traditional Agriculture’s being affected.

I tell you what when the harvest comes this Autumn you’re going to see futures prices jump, wheat jumped $17 in a single day last week when farmers were taking a look at yields getting toward the end of the growth season, not anywhere close to what was forecast by the USDA.

The 10th Circumpolar Agriculture Conference, it’s organized under the framework of the CAA, the Circumpolar Agricultural Association, like it has changed it to Arctic Agricultural Association. Interesting how food security and sustainability in different regions and countries, that’s the very last sentence, notice how important that is in the whole conference this year. They know what’s going on and you should be paying attention to the crop yields this year. If you learn one thing that’s going to be the most valuable thing to learn in your life, beyond learning how to grow your own food, is to learn how they book grain into the silos and what the futures prices mean related to how much yield there is coming out of the fields. Specifically look for oats, wheat, corn, and soy, these are the majors that will be a affected along with rice in the US. Arkansas down to much flooding.

Coming into global coal power, whatever agriculture is out there requires electricity to process it. This is an interactive map, I left the links below so you can go in and look at the region you’re in, the country you’re in. You can zoom straight in by the county in the US or by the province in different countries across the planet. Those white circles are going to be mothballed facilities, yellow operational, but you don’t see too many new planned coal power plants across the planet anywhere except over in Asia.

Taking a look at Europe, especially the UK how dangerous is this, we’re going into an extended cold period for at least a couple of decades and the UK is trying to base everything on wind which will be more unreliable as the jet stream shift and also solar panels which is going to be extremely unreliable as more cloud cover pervades the skies. Same with North Eastern Europe up there Denmark, Germany, I tell you that’s my own opinion, I think they’re walking out the plank on this one here, because they’re tied up and going to be fed to the sharks when push comes to shove and they really need that power a couple years from now when it’s brutally cold and these renewable energy sources aren’t enough to cover the actual demand, then what?

We saw this happen in Australia this year already as well, they pushed prices up to what 14,000 Australian dollars for a megawatt of power, that comes out to about $14 per kilowatt. I’m paying around five cents. do you see the stark difference in the economy? That’s going to wipe out an entire tier of spending, if we get into higher prices just because renewables cost more to generate if they even have enough to meet demand.

Jumping over to Asia, look at all power plants that are planned over there, Japan as well, Korea, China of course, India. Now I agree that there’s an enormous amount of pollution in the atmosphere due to some bad actors in this sphere of power generation; the sloppy &greedy. Gypsum can be sold as a by-product, but to install scrubbers, they are just too lazy and too greedy. Those are the bad actors, but the rest of the world that operates with clean coal and clean gas, these are going to be your safety zones, I’m telling you right now places that will not go down in all-time record demand, those places that have a power station near them fired by coal or gas this is your safety zone.

Talking about extreme weather, excellent photo here, (Matéo World) aircraft taking a look at the sunset from under the clouds, beauty in nature, something soft compared to what we’ve seen in the world’s weather over the last few months. Winter’s going to arrive early as the snows in Japan during August are showing us the future.
