What's Happening With Your Foreign Funds

This is not a speed reading class. Read slowly and learn something.

The government has endless small (1-2kt) atomic artillery warheads that it does not know how to dispose of. The Chinese have a more serious problem. Below is a letter to the Whitehouse used as a minimum discourse on the subject. Use it freely.

Dear Mr. President,

The United States always had inherent cheap energy that made it independent of outside sources. Until the recent price at the pump spiraled so conveniently at election time, the political aspects of this fact made them impossible to consider. This proposal does not require the expenditure of money beyond the evaluation by experts you have in the Atomic Energy Commission. The political evaluation is yours. The following is merely a minimum review of the physical aspects.

Every nuclear nation conducted underground test atomic explosions. Ours were conducted north of Las Vegas and are still sitting there, waiting to prove themselves. We learned that all the energy released by an atomic explosion could be contained by little soil above, and would be injected into the local region, shattering it and substantially raising its temperature. Such an injection is the recipe for rejuvenating a tired oil field that had consumed its easy oil, or those such as an American shale field or a Canadian tar field that never had easy oil and would enjoy having some. Almost more important are places that never even hoped for easy oil but just high temperatures they could extract steam from and generate electricity. These already exist in our early test sites. They are merely poorly located, but they still could help Hoover Dam produce cheap electricity for Los Angeles.

Exploded above the surface, atomic ammunition produces a radioactive mess, but exploded below the surface it can produce a useful man-made geothermal deposit with a small glassy bubble forever containing any radioactivity. Producing small nuclear ammunition is easy. Disposing of it, as we know, is the problem. The only objections to a practical solution will be political, but considering the storm of political objections rising against high priced fuel, any cheap solution making us independent of foreign oil should prevail.

Harnessing continuous atomic methods of generating power will always be dangerous, expensive, and not so acceptable politically. The Russians really learned this at Chernabyl. When applied, atomic energy must be completely consumed all at once. This calls for underground explosions and friendly extraction of the heat energy later. Damaged oil fields may have to be partially redrilled which is cheaper than off shore or arctic drilling. Our knowhow and means can be shared with other nations lacking it. Easy oil should be universal.

Agriculture can grow much better energy products which do not conflict with food products. At growth both counter the carbon dioxide produced when later consumed in engines and bodies. The energy of the wind and the sun is being harnessed. The only breakthroughs remaining will be cheap medical and psychological ones. The production of children must be delayed.
