Civilizations convert a segment of energy into added value, known as exergy (wealth/value), while the rest is categorized as waste heat. The connection between exergy and energy is referred to as efficiency…
Historically, the Western world has not had a substantial amount of energy from the beginning, which has led to their proficiency in appropriating it and improving efficiency. The terms pirates and colonizers aptly describe them…
In contrast, Russia has always had a surplus of energy, which has resulted in a lack of natural selection to enhance efficiency. They simply possess more than sufficient energy…
When there was a need for additional wealth, they merely increased extraction. When evaluating countries based on total energy reserves, Russia ranks first, followed by Venezuela in second place and Iran in third. The USA is misleading, as are all Western nations; Canada and Australia also appear on this list, but the old world is conspicuously absent. Norway has managed to establish a small niche for itself, although it may have already depleted its resources. This ranking clarifies why the thieving USA is so intensely interested in Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. Regardless of one’s capacity to transform energy into value, those who control energy resources hold power over the world…
With the implementation of sanctions within the last 40 or 50 years, Russia can no longer indefinitely convert energy into value, leading to a shift towards improving efficiency. Sanctions have placed pressure on Russia to enhance efficiency and make better use of its own abundant energy…
This shift from an agricultural-industrial hybrid to a technological hegemony is already underway and is irreversible. Russia is swiftly progressing through a phase reminiscent of the USA from 1910 to 1945, but at five times the speed. Naturally, the efficiencies have evolved since the 20th century. By the time Russia achieves an exergy efficiency comparable to that of the USA in 1945, relative to the efficiency of the rest of the world (approximately by 2030), it will be game over. The USA will no longer be able to impede Russia with its energy predatory strategies. This situation transcends silicon nanometers or data center computing power…
