1960 Calculate the value of $2 in 1960

Ok, I calculated 16$ because I take into account the dollar as a commodity, as relative to its unskilled labour value, because I’m a marxist, but Andrea Rossi is a capitalist and for him the dollar is wealth with intrinsec economic power, so the value could be also more than 65 dollars today
Rodney, you said that oil price could decline so much to become competitive with possible future cold fusion energy, perhaps reaching 2$/barrel. But 2$ in 1960-1969 equaled to 16-13$ today. And there are estraction costs to consider, today between 6-10$ for the cheapest countries. For example, during last fall in gold price, it touched 1060$/oz, where all-in extraction costs are about 1000-1050$, it could not go much under that. In oil production, it is also possible environmental costs could be calculated after all, for example in China, as the ecosystem damage is starting to exert an heavy toll on population health. Then, I would be more than happy if oil was used only for special applications like high quality plastics instead of burning it!
Obviously, all this is true at market prices, but we know that markets get rigged and distorted all the time. Look for example at helium prices, they should be twenty-fold the market price, because US government has a strange strategy of discarding and waste the extremely precious noble gas just to get the national strategic reserve exhausted and then re-start with stellar market prices. Mysteries of capitalism! Crazy idea: maybe the E-cat can directly produce helium too, besides heat, electricity, light, chocolate… please Andrea take a look hehe
When you say in Europe “there will not be privileged areas” do you mean that Europe will be one single market with E-Cats available to all countries there, regardless of where they are manufactured?
The time of being able to purchase an e-Cat is fast approaching. Would it be possible, considering that Italy will be in pole position in regard to e-Cat sales, that we Maltese be able to purchase e-Cats from Italy, which is very close to us geographically?
Dear Andrea,
You often say “all the energy sources will have to be integrated”.
Is it possible to elaborate? ”
In addition to other considerations, when demand for crude oil declines so will its price. There is a range of prices at which crude will become competitive with LENR for various petroleum product end uses. At a low enough price crude could also become competitive with LENR purely for its energy content. Andrea has previously pointed out LENR would not be competitive for water desalination. In the 1960s crude traded at $2 a barrel. When demand for crude becomes decisively less than production capacity perhaps it will trade near that price again? This is ‘The Price Mechanism’ at work preserving resources for more important uses. Each ‘niche’ will determine what works best given the resource prices prevailing at the time.
Dear Andrea,
probably you already have an idea for the E-Cat selling price.
What do you think can be an honest cost of a single 100W Quark-X for the final customer,
some thing between:
1) 5-10 $
2) 10-50 $
3) 50-100 $
4) 100-200 $
5) 200-1000 $

Dear Dr. Rossi,
You have stated that you are ‘very pleased’ with the ERV report. Hopefully the results will be released soon.
Do you think that the results will be useful for the manufacturing?
Dear Mr. Rossi,
Historically, the first uses of improved power sources are often not peaceful ones. Do you have any concerns about unfriendly uses of your invention? Have you discussed opportunities for using your invention for weapons? Ate there ways of detecting LENR reactors at shipping docks, airports, etc.? Both military and corporate interests should be extremely interested.
Congratulations,
Mike

3- no. Leonardo Corporation is the owner of all the IP related to the E-Cat and we of Leonardo Corporation decide independently our strategy, depending only on the results we achieve with our R&D, that is on course in laboratories independent from all our Licensees. Obviously, we are delighted to listen and hold in due consideration all the suggestion our Licensees give us.
4- possibly

I do not agree. LENR will be integrated with all the other energy sources, to match the expanding needs of multiverse consumes and their sustainability, as curmudgeon as this may seem.

Dear Andrea,
You often say “all the energy sources will have to be integrated”.
Is it possible to elaborate?
I confess to being a little confused as my expectation is that, given a little time
your, LENR alone will, power automobiles, ships etc, (maybe aircraft) and provide all our needs for electric and heating without help from fosils.
Am I too optimistic?
Dear Andrea.
We are earlier informed of a new ECXQ test in Europe and end of R&D period within 2 month.
1. Will the test start within April, or May?
2. Will details of ECXQ be presented in May, June or later?
3. Are answers the above questions depended of IH’s decisions?
4. Will ECXQs be made available to cooperating OEMs in Europe?
5. Is the 1 year function period of the ECXQ dependent of the intermittens of use?
6. May it be an idea to give samples of single units to be tested by universities?
Thank You for earlier answers and attention.
Regards: Svein Henrik
Rafal Krych:

Nonetheless, I repeat that all the energy sources will have to be integrated: they all are precious, each of them distinguished in its specificity.

I think that something is cooking up here behind a courtains. Maybe the World finally starts to see that end of “Fossil Fuels Era” is coming inevitably. Who knows, maybe news about successful outcome of 1MW reactor is a tipping point here.
Just check the headlines:
Is this mysterious reason behind all that things just fear of climate change and a sudden urge to become green? I don’t think so. It is just a PR stunt.
Seems that oil companies are finally aware that we are reaching end of “Fossil Fuels Era”. The LENR breakthrough is coming and they know about this: https://aeon.co/opinions/is-the-cold-fusion-egg-about-to-hatch
What we see is just a cleaning operation. It is business closure time and they are desperately trying to squeeze as much money as they can before everything collapses.
Andrea, hope you are going to peacefuly sail through turbulent moments which are ahead of you. Good Luck!
Dear Andrea:
Is it possible for you to publish an updated list of all your licensees ?
Congratulations for your US Patent and the results of the 352 days test of the 1 MW E-Cat: you made History.

Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
When do you think the E-Cat QuarkX will be in operation in an industrial concern, as it happened with the 1 MW E-Cat ?
Cheers,

Andrea, the phrase on the guinea pig was a great fun to read but moving and emotional, it perfectly and shortly describes the very essence about yourself as a man I think! Thank you also for this little gem!
(I was being completely fooled after the first words, I must say with a slight subtle shiver of scandalized, leftist petty bourgeois discomfort for the poor little sacrificed pet, by you and your brutal distopic team of heartless robots!)
Hello, Mr. Rossi. When you create an e-Cat reactor quark X you have moved to higher temperatures and smaller size of the reactor. Apparently it requires the use of more expensive refractory materials and high precision heat transducer assembly into electricity. Perhaps it makes sense to transfer to reload cartridges only fuel converters leaving the customer? You are using carbon nanotubes to improve the characteristics of the emitter?
With respect Fedor.

Dear Andrea and fellow readers,
I think that something is cooking up here behind a courtains. Maybe the World finally starts to see that end of “Fossil Fuels Era” is coming inevitably. Who knows, maybe news about successful outcome of 1MW reactor is a tipping point here.
Just check the headlines:
Early this year, ARAMCO the most valuable company in the World suddenly announced it is going for IPO:
http://fortune.com/2016/01/13/why-a-saudi-aramco-ipo-makes-absolutely-no-sense-for-saudi-arabia/
Next we heard that Rockefeller foundation is going to divest from fossil fuels including oil:
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/sep/22/rockefeller-heirs-divest-fossil-fuels-climate-change
Last week enormous Unaoil bribery scandal surfaced. Isn’t that due to losing some protection umbrella? Why Unaoil was allowed to operate unnoticied for 15 years?
https://www.rt.com/news/337961-unaoil-corruption-scandal-investigation/
