#Russia #oilandgasindustry A Russian energy ministry official told a parliament meeting on Tuesday there were plans to defend oil and gas facilities with missile systems. "We are jointly working, including with colleagues from the Russian National Guard, to cover objects, on installing, accordingly, protection systems such as Pantsir," said Artyom Verkhov, director of energy ministry's department for gas industry development. Russian oil refining capacity shut down in the wake of Ukrainian drone attacks in the first quarter amounts to about 4.6 million tons (370,500 barrels per day), or some 7% of the total, Reuters calculations show.

First selection of a small modular nuclear reactor by DoD to power a remote facility with power and heat. Clean-air reactor could replace all of current 33-megawatt coal/oil plant output. Added benefit of Oklo Inc fast reactor design: can also run on recycled used nuclear fuel. #coal2nuclear

🚨After the🇫🇮🇪🇪Balticconnector incident, 🇮🇹Italy's SNAM, the gas transmission system operator, is stepping up security measures to infrastructures and subsea pipelines in the Mediterranean Sea, connecting🇮🇹with major gas exporters such as 🇩🇿Algeria 🇦🇿Azerbaijan 🇱🇾Libya According to the company's CEO, SNAM has increased its alert level and patrols to maritime infrastructures connecting🇮🇹to🌍Africa and🇪🇺South-Eastern Europe, even before the incidents regarding the🇫🇮🇪🇪Balticconnector pipeline, apparently damaged by a🇨🇳Chinese commercial🚢vessel and the rising tensions between🇮🇱Israel & Hamas and the rising tensions between🇮🇱Israel & Hamas. A military escalation represents a threat energy infrastructures in the Middle East.🇺🇸US naval forces have been deployed in the region to deter others from joining the fight (i.e. Hezbollah in🇱🇧Lebanon) 🇮🇹Italy is far from both the Baltic and the ME regions, where two unrelated events have rattled energy markets, pushing up prices at levels not seen in months. 💥Yet, the repercussions are visible as the security of critical infrastructures is vital amid this lasting energy crisis

We are looking at a 7% loss of refining capacity. That is a major dent in output and revenue for russia. For russia to implement the missile defense system will take time. The window to shut down further russian capacity is still wide open. Furthermore, russia’s distribution system is still wide open

THE BENEFIT OF TABOOS AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE NORDSTREAM UNDERSEA PIPELINE INCIDENT: For the most part, international taboos are a good thing. I am thinking of the almost eighty year taboo on the use of nuclear weapons. Such taboos provide stability and ensure that as long as they remain that states and nations do not have to fear or defend against them. Such a taboo existed with regards to undersea cables and pipelines. A tremendous amount of the worlds information rides on undersea fiber-optic cables and gas and oil through undersea pipelines. Because of the nature of such piplelines and the difficulty of defending them, the taboo provided an important international stability regime. However, when the NORDSTREAM pipelines were attacked early in the War in Ukraine, this taboo ended abruptly and now nations and private companies are beginning to awaken to a new day when their extremely vulnerably undersea cables and piplines are at risk from attack. This is one of the potential second and third order effects from the likely Ukrainain attack on the NORDSTREAM piplelines. #underseacables #ukrainerussiawar https://lnkd.in/eSC_jHeW

'As nearby populations have grown, so have energy needs, and so have the number and size of the turbines. It’s a boon for farmers and landowners, who can lease space on their lands to support both the military needs and wind power companies. 'But the growth is making it dangerous for military helicopter crews. When an alarm triggers at a site [nuke silo], the UH-1 Huey crews fly in low and fast, often with security teams on board. 'So the Air Force is asking Congress to pass legislation to create a 2-nautical-mile buffer zone around each site. The legislation has the support of wind energy advocates, but they caution against a one-size-fits-all approach. There are hundreds of underground silos spread across the U.S., in Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming'. https://lnkd.in/ggecXDTw

Israel shuts its largest gas field over military tension with Palestinian militia group, Hamas. The Chevron-operated Tamar gas platform located some 25 kilometres off Israel's southern region can be sighted from the Gaza Strip on a clear day, hence a potential target of rocket fire for the militia. If the force majeure on gas production lingers for long, Israel would be compelled to source gas outside of the region. Israel became a major regional gas supplier with the start of production at the Tamar field a decade ago, which was followed by several other gas developments. https://lnkd.in/gyFkBcBZ

The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA
