El Nino now entering 'has-been' territory

 Just like a DC movie, we had the hype it would be 'super'.  Show the movie and it's nothing.  They have officially made the odds, that this would be an 'A-list Celebrity', to a coin toss.

The first reviews are in, and it's a flop.  Why is that?

Last year, it looked like we were going cold.  Then, mysterious hot blobs formed in the upper west Pacific.  They drifted down in a diagonal, causing the world heat energy to go up.  They ended up in the graveyard of blobs, below the equator.  This was not classic El Nino behaviour.  I suspect alcohol.

That graveyard cut off the cold feed on the lower right of the chart.  All that cold water was driven down.  

Now, all roads lead to the equator.  That cold water has practically risen to the Galapagos.  All is back to normal.  

In summary, it never was an El Nino which involves a huge transfer of hot water to the East.  It was a slight reduction in the cold water feed from the South.  They had a ridiculous base map which made the anomaly look huge, but the actual temperature, which drives the physics, was nothing.  

Ontario Prosperity

 Merry Christmas Season, I know that because of Hallmark movies.  Today, we are pretending, we are in a state of rational bliss.

We will build transmission lines that keep the farmers happy.  We will grow coca leaves and poppies, along with mushrooms.  The US has kicked us enough, to heck with them!

These greenhouses will be much fancier than shown.  We will have 'conductivity adjustment', which uses conductive glass, and grounding mats, to protect from electrical fields, and minimize ground losses.

Of course, we will build a giant Candu plant, following my instructions for not creating a "Water Laser", like Darlington.  And we will make sure the foundation is good, unlike Pickering.  After all, we have our "Huge Earthquake Death Scenario", at 1 in 5000.  

The grid and greenhouses will be run without a speck of MS-Win, so the US can't screw us.

Fa lalalaaa lalala.

ps the idea of conductivity control is that these greenhouses could reap the energy that goes into the ground.  Neat Idea!

ps all the beautiful Chinese spies can line up for this idea.

Rationalist Rants

 I accumulate a lot of junk, and I'll dump some of it.

This is 'grandstanding' and not rational.  A baby reactor as expensive as a real one, and no fuel.

Rationality cycles on and off.  What happens is that we get so prosperous with rational policies, that we have a desire to chew off our toes.  Then, the populists come in.

I was in a rational cycle at the old company.  For a short time, everybody was listening to me.  We were going full blast on electrical infrastructure, more transmission lines, and I was scouting all the sites for the next large nuclear plant.  It was wonderful, and then the commies came into power.  After them, the near-commies had their fun.

They destroyed Ontario.  We could have had abundant cheap electricity, and done the whole China thing.  If the US wanted to destroy our industries, we could have said "Enjoy paying for electricity, bioch."

In Ontario, we are still in a 'grandstanding' phase, housing was pushed by the 'friend of developers', and now we are crushed under the overhang.  Nuclear is run by "The Stupid Factory", since they outsource everything.  I've done all the details before.

We have to starve before rationality comes back.  Carney does his best, but he is in a 'thick' ocean.  I just watch and laugh.

ps some articles suggested that they will abandon the baby effort, and turn them into 'Monuments to Stupidity' like the Niagara Tunnel.  Perhaps they can grow flowers.
