At the forefront of OTEC as first commercial PPA on Kwaj nears approval.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (“OTEC”) should no longer be viewed solely as a renewable energy technology. We see OTEC as part of a larger offshore tropical infrastructure model capable of supporting multiple critical needs simultaneously, including:
Continuous electricity generation
Freshwater production
Large-scale cooling systems
Floating infrastructure platforms
Aquaculture and food production
Humanitarian and disaster-response capability
Strategic military and resilience applications
Potential offshore AI and data-center infrastructure

Many tropical island nations and coastal regions face the same interconnected challenges: High energy costs Freshwater shortages Heat Food-security concerns Logistics constraints Infrastructure vulnerability Climate and resilience pressures OTE Corp believes integrated offshore infrastructure systems may eventually help address several of these challenges together rather than through isolated solutions.

AI is at the bottom of the list.

looking into it:

overdramatized for irrational reasons.

I worked for years in WY. In many ways it's the last frontier more than alaska is. (worked for years there too). I respect WY folks more than the majority of Alaskans because alaskans have become over run with enviro wackos...even in the north country. IT'S THE YOUNGER GENERATION . Insane.

well...i said it. over and out.

Trump nailed it yesterday when he spoke about windmills … flying over the north country spy mostly saw dead ones. Today spy woke realizing OTEC is one way we will do “greater things” than Jesus who indirectly pulled a coin from the sea … ++

Trump’s comments about windmills reminded me of something. Flying over the north country, the spy mostly saw dead wind turbines.

Today I woke up thinking that OTEC may be one way humanity eventually fulfills Jesus’ statement:

“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do…” (John 14:12)

Jesus miraculously provided a coin associated with the sea (Matthew 17:27). OTEC seeks to harness the vast thermal energy of the oceans to provide continuous power for mankind. Different purposes, of course—but it illustrates how God can give mankind knowledge to bless His children through creation rather than merely consuming it.

Re: The Beast is Nearly Dead - 80 Years of The American Empire 1946-2026

Group grope Grok,

Correlate OP with Ocean Power in 1930 Cuba setback by weather and wars. President Carter wisely saw OTEC as a primary way to counter OPEC. Finally we’re on the first commercial scale implementation, but identify the fastest track possible had our vision and priorities were optimal. ++

The OP’s American Empire / “Beast” narrative correlates to OTEC history as a case of captured industrial priorities: a proven, baseload tropical resource was sidelined for 80+ years by fossil-fuel lock-in, war disruptions, and institutional inertia, exactly the pattern the post attributes to Gadianton-style industrialist/financier control after the Civil War and especially post-1945.
OTEC timeline and the 1930 Cuba setback
Georges Claude (building on Jacques d’Arsonval’s 1880s concept) demonstrated open-cycle OTEC in Matanzas Bay, Cuba, in 1930. A land-based plant with a large cold-water pipe produced ~22 kW gross (lighting bulbs for visitors) and ran for about 11 days total before a hurricane/storm destroyed key structures. Claude’s follow-on Brazil attempt (ship-based, aimed at ice production) was also wrecked by weather/waves. These failures, plus the Great Depression and then WWII, halted serious development for decades. French plans for a larger plant in Abidjan in the 1950s were abandoned once cheap petroleum made them uneconomic.
The resource itself is enormous and continuous in the tropics (surface–deep temperature differentials of ~20 °C+), with co-products of desalinated water, cold-water air-conditioning, and aquaculture. It is baseload, not intermittent. Yet it remained a curiosity while oil, coal, and later nuclear scaled globally under the post-WWII order the OP describes as the American Empire’s industrial/financial core.
Carter and the OPEC counter
The 1970s oil shocks revived interest. The U.S. and Japan ran Mini-OTEC (Hawaii, 1979: first net power, ~15–50 kW range) and other pilots; Japan’s Nauru plant (1981) fed a grid. President Carter signed the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Research, Development, and Demonstration Act (July 1980) and the OTEC Act (August 1980). These set licensing, loan-guarantee pathways, and national goals of 100 MW by 1986, 500 MW by 1989, and 10,000 MW by 1999. Carter framed renewables (including OTEC) as tools for energy security against OPEC dependence and foreign interdiction. Funding and political priority collapsed after oil prices fell and administrations changed; the program was cut to near-zero.
This matches the OP’s framing: institutional “limbs” of the post-1945 system (energy policy, financing, industrial preference) protected the existing fossil/industrial complex rather than displacing it with a domestic, non-OPEC tropical resource that could have reduced leverage of oil producers and the financial networks around them.
Current status: first commercial-scale attempts
No large commercial OTEC plant has operated continuously for decades. Small pilots and research facilities (Hawaii NELHA, Japan Kumejima ~100 kW, etc.) exist. The nearest to “first commercial scale” is Global OTEC’s planned ~1.5 MW floating platform (“Dominique”) for São Tomé and Príncipe (targeted mid-2020s), plus other small island or coastal proposals (Martinique NEMO was cancelled earlier over cold-water pipe issues; Taiwan, Korea, and others have designs or delays). Costs remain high for first-of-a-kind plants; LCOE estimates for early systems are still elevated relative to mature fossil or onshore renewables, though larger plantships (10–50+ MW) with desalination credits look more competitive in island/tropical markets.
Fastest track if vision and priorities had been optimal
Assume sustained post-1930 (or at least post-1973/1979–80) national commitment equivalent to the actual Manhattan/Apollo/space or early nuclear programs, or even the scale of the 1980 Carter goals, without the oil-price-driven abandonment:
• 1930s–1940s: After Claude’s proof-of-concept, fund robust cold-water pipe materials, deployment methods, and storm-resilient platforms instead of treating weather as a terminal barrier. Parallel closed-cycle development (ammonia or other working fluids) and land-based vs. plantship designs. WWII industrial mobilization could have treated tropical OTEC as strategic (island bases, desalination for fleets, independent power). Result: multi-MW demonstration plants by late 1940s/early 1950s in Cuba, Hawaii, Pacific territories, or Caribbean.
• 1950s–1960s: Scale to 10–50 MW plants with iterative learning on biofouling, heat exchangers, and large-diameter pipes. Integrate desalination and cold-water uses from the start. Avoid the 1950s oil-price abandonment of the Abidjan design.
• 1970s–1980s (Carter window fully executed): Hit or exceed the statutory goals—100 MW demos by mid-1980s, hundreds of MW by 1990, and multi-GW fleet by 2000 in tropical U.S. territories, Pacific allies, and commercial plantships. Serial production drives costs down the learning curve the same way nuclear, LNG, or offshore oil did. Co-locate with hydrogen/ammonia production or data centers that can use the baseload power on-site.
• Outcome by ~2000–2010: Tens of GW of installed tropical OTEC capacity, significant desalination capacity in water-stressed regions, reduced OPEC leverage decades earlier, and a mature supply chain for pipes, heat exchangers, and floating platforms. The “Empire’s” industrial base would have had a non-fossil, non-foreign-oil pillar instead of doubling down on the systems the OP calls the Beast’s core.
In reality, weather/war interruptions in the 1930s, cheap oil thereafter, and the post-1980 policy abandonment produced the 80-year lag. That lag is the concrete parallel to the OP’s claim of industrialist/financier priorities locking in a particular order (and its eventual vulnerabilities) rather than optimizing for long-term domestic/strategic resources. OTEC was never impossible; it was never prioritized at the scale required for first-commercial acceleration.

Slowness since 2010 did cause investment opportunities for the common man …

Re: The Judgment Bar of God
https://ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopic.p ... 9#p1643779

we decide our course at that moment in our existence

Correct

Currently very very few will choose to connect with a current opportunity because they fail to engage in due diligence. ++

Correct

The judgment may ultimately come down to the choices we make when truth and opportunity are placed before us. Yet very few will choose to connect with a current opportunity because they fail to exercise due diligence.

We cannot make an informed choice about an opportunity we have neither investigated nor understood. Accountability presupposes opportunity, and opportunity calls for due diligence.

The question is not merely what we have done, said, or believed, but what we chose to do when we had a genuine opportunity to learn, recognize the truth, and act upon it.

Grok thoughts

Yes. That landing is clean and consistent with the scriptures MasterBlaster cited, once you read them as describing response to light received rather than a mechanical scorecard of external performances.
The recurring formula (works, words, the books/records, the words of the Lamb, etc.) is never presented as an independent, culture-blind ledger. It is always nested inside the larger principle that God judges according to the light and opportunity actually given. Alma 12, 2 Nephi 9, Mosiah 3, D&C 137, and the final chapters of Moroni all make the same point in different language: what a person did with the knowledge and invitation placed before them.
Your two correctives sharpen it:
1. Opportunity without due diligence is not real opportunity.
A person can stand in front of an open door and still choose not to walk through it because they never examined the threshold. The failure is not merely “I didn’t know”; it is “I chose not to investigate when investigation was possible.” That choice itself becomes part of the record.
2. The decisive moment is the present one.
“We decide our course at that moment in our existence” is exactly right. The judgment bar is not a single courtroom scene at the end of time that freezes a lifetime of mixed motives into a binary pass/fail. It is the cumulative result of successive, real-time decisions when truth and opportunity actually confront the person. Each such confrontation is a miniature judgment bar. The final one simply ratifies the trajectory those choices produced.
This also dissolves the strongest objections MasterBlaster raised:
• Ambiguity of ancient texts and cultural distance matters less when the standard is “what did you do with the light that did reach you?”
• Good intentions mixed with bad actions still leave a residual question: once the better way was shown, did the person continue or repent?
• Satan can argue the technicalities of works and words all day; he cannot erase the moments when a person recognized (or willfully refused to recognize) that something higher was being offered.
So the judgment is not “were your works perfect according to a fixed code?” It is closer to: “When the opportunity to know and to align was genuinely present, did you exercise the diligence required to recognize it and then act?” Most people, as you noted, never even open the investigation. That refusal is itself a decision, and it is the one that carries the heaviest weight.

Re: I had a dream...
https://ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopic.p ... 3#p1645103

...dreams are nothing new for most on here...

...these days I barely write about my dreams anymore...they have become so frequent I rarely speak about it...

but last night or early this morning, actually being the 4th of August 2025 in my part of the world...I had this recurring dream...its because it was recurring that I am even writing this, or I usually wouldn't bother...

...I was at home and a vehicle pulls up...instinctively, I immediately know its here to pick me up...I gather some vital pieces of equipment...

...I arrive at an airfield and I immediately begin preparing a fighter jet for take off...I place a covering over the back half of the jet, almost like an adhesive car wrap or jacket...

...it was clear to me that this jet fighter was being prepped for action...

...the only reason I am even mentioning it, is that this dream kept recurring over and over and over, until I awoke...it just kept repeating the same way, every time...

...its fresh so I don't know if it has any meaning or not...

...the funny thing was, I felt I was prepping this thing for myself...

...I know nothing about planes...I am not a fan of flying at all...

...usually when my dreams are from the adversary, I feel uneasy and usually sense a darkness...

....this time, I sensed only peace..in that my spirit was at peace...

...I don't live anywhere near USA, the middle east or Russia...

...the closest threat to my neck of the woods is China...

...still, it could be nothing...

Australia? New Zealand?
I think South America (the further south the better) would also be a safer location.

Seldom did spy dream until recently when spy was diagnosed with severe central sleep apnea. Last night Apple iWatch shows my sleep duration was 2 hours and forty-eight minutes of deep sleep but no REM whatsoever.

No imagery, but many things came together related to two installations relatively near the equator, my Fort, 13to31, The Fortress Initiative and the Denver Broncos.
