New Energy Secretary Outlines Plans for R&D and Massive Production

At long last, we have a Department of Energy focused on producing energy, not "saving" energy. Among the important directions emphasized by the new Secretary of Energy Chris Wright in his first Secretarial Order, there are the following:

Secretary Wright Acts to “Unleash Golden Era of American Energy Dominance”
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright signed his first Secretarial Order today directing the Department of Energy to take immediate action to unleash American Energy in accordance with President Trump’s executive orders.
  1. "Prioritize true technological breakthroughs—such as nuclear fusion, high-performance computing, quantum computing, and AI."
  2. "Pursue a commonsense approach that does not regulate products that consumers value out of the market.
  3. "Lead the commercialization of affordable and abundant nuclear energy."
  4. "Streamline permitting and identify undue burdens on American energy."

President Trump’s Missile Defense System Aims to Be a Major Science Driver

President Trump's Missile Defense System Seeks Industry Input Amid "Golden Age" of American Science and Technology.

Within days of President Trump issuing his Executive Order to develop a U.S. missile defense system, the Defense Department's Missile Defense Agency swiftly followed suit with a Request for Information seeking innovative ideas from U.S. industry.

The Missile Defense Agency's RFI aims to secure capabilities that can be deployed in "epochs" starting as early as 2026, with subsequent deployments planned every two years until beyond December 31, 2030. The agency's call for information is broad in scope, seeking technologies capable of detecting and defeating the threat posed by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks.

Within days of President Trump’s issuance of his Executive Order calling for the development of a U.S. missile defense system, the Defense Department’s Missile Defense Agency issued a Request for Information (RFI) to U.S. industry for ideas on how to implement President Trump’s E.O.

Pedagogical Exercises for a Golden Age: What humans can do that AI can’t

Bruce Director enriched the lives of many when, working with Lyndon LaRouche, he developed pedagogical exercises which made the discovery and creative powers of the mind transparent to those who engaged with them. 

Now, in the new optimistic turn, heralded by Donald Trump's election, he will begin producing a new set of these spiritual exercises for Promethean Action.

Pedagogical Exercises for a Golden Age: What humans can do that AI can’t
Mankind is truly at the dawn of a new “golden age”. New technologies from reusable rockets, humanoid robots, space-age materials, automated data-processing systems, bio-technology and many others are increasing mankind’s power in and over nature and will continue to do so in the future. This is not the first

Zap Energy Claims Stable Z-Pinch Fusion Plasma

Zap Energy in Everett, WA reports producing stable, high-temperature fusion plasmas without external magnetic confinement. It is among the companies with a chance to be first to actually produce commercial fusion electricity—along with Helion and Commonwealth Fusion.

A study of over 400 tests in the latest Zap device demonstrates that their reactor design is producing a relatively uniform energetic plasma which appears to be scalable to a commercially viable machine. Zap's Z-pinch approach has a long history, but had previously suffered from instability and collapse.

Zap Energy’s nuclear device brings US closer to limitless energy
US startup’s fusion test confirms stable thermal plasmas, validating its scalable Z-pinch approach for higher fusion yields and energy gains.

It should also be noted that the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor in Hefei, China, has recently achieved a plasma confinement record of 1066 seconds in its more conventional experimental design. The pace of progress in this area is accelerating. Fusion devices will be producing commercial quantities of electricity within the next several years.

Zap Energy: Fusion power. No magnets required.
Zap Energy is building a low-cost, compact and scalable Z-pinch fusion energy system that confines and compresses plasma without the need for expensive and complex magnetic coils.

Rebuild the USA: The Trump Presidency and Beyond

After all the years of campaigning, Americans have finally come to the agreement that we will Make America Great Again. But, how do we actually implement the intention, and with a minimum of mistakes along the way?

Building Blocks of a Manufacturing Superpower

Peek behind the scenes of this successful AMERICAN job shop, built from the ground up by entrepreneurial father and son duo. This shop started with welding, then expanded into machining and additive manufacturing.

Shops like this are becoming a critical component of the American manufacturing ecosystem, and their scalability is key to building a true manufacturing superpower. If you're driven to innovate, now's the moment to start your own shop and contribute to this resurgence. Remember to reinvest your profits in cutting-edge equipment and the skills of your workforce.

The DOGE Kid Who Unlocked the Pompei Scrolls

The hysteria aimed at President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE has also targeted the young people working with Musk to clear the fraud and waste from government spending. Here is the story of one of the DOGE workers, Luke Farritor, who won the Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize for developing a technique to read the carbonized ash papyrus scrolls found at Pompeii (the Herculaneum Papyri). Don't mess with DOGE!

British Entrepreneur on How British Philosophy Kills Innovation

Monzo founders says American dream is ‘antithetical to British culure’
University undergrads in the U.S. are pitching Tom Blomfield startup ideas, while he says British PhDs are just going to McKinsey.

Fortune reports on the observations of the British founder of an online bank, Tom Bloomfield, who found that the "American dream is ‘Antithetical to British culture,’ " and that "his fellow countrymen were more inclined toward a 'know your place, don’t get too big for your boots' attitude that stifles innovation." While this rare admission is a start, the truth is far uglier. From the royals on down, the Empire has created or used monetarism, free trade, environmentalism, communism, fascism, war, assassinations, psychological warfare, and organized pessimism in various forms, to attempt to crush American industrial optimism and the progress of humanity generally. A broadly successful Trump presidency will go a long way to undermining the Empire and freeing folks in Britain, Europe, and elsewhere from their overlords.
