To oppose tyranny and fight for the rights our creator bestowed us in the United States Constitution. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. A person who advocates and practices preparedness. One ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine. That is a Prepper. hello everyone out there in internet radio land this is dave jones the nbc guy how are you doing on this sunny wednesday man uh a high pressure system came in and just has been wonderful fall weather here we've been getting a lot done cleaned out the chicken coop where we're putting the new chickens with the old chickens and uh Doing all kinds of stuff here on the Jonestead. And as I'm working, I came up with this. Okay, so how about this? We have within our grasp the answer. And it will affect everybody in the United States. What? The answer to what? The answer to your high electric bills. Yep. That is correct. Are you ready? So it's within our grasp right now. And it's an area that I'm not sure the Trump administration is looking at. I think there was something that was alluded to a while ago because Trump was making data centers create their own power. And there's one in Pennsylvania that wants to restart one of the reactors at Three Mile Island. So a few years ago, this was during COVID, I interviewed a reactor operator. And you can go back and check out this episode. And we talked about how the reactors work. run in the United States, how much electricity is provided by nuclear reactors, and all that kind of stuff. And I said, what's the difference between, because he, I think he operated reactors both in submarines and on an aircraft carrier. So these nuclear reactors that the Navy has are standardized models of that when they build one, and they do it this way, so when you transfer from ship to ship or sub to sub, you don't have to relearn everything to operate these reactors. Not only that, they're small. And not only that, they have a huge, incredible safety record. Okay? Okay? So my proposal to the Trump administration, and if anybody is listening, why don't you take these Navy reactors and put them, yeah, you would have to put them where there's a lot of water. Okay, because they still use water to cool the reactor core. Okay, and they also use water to create the steam to generate the electricity. So it always has to be close to water, but it can be a river like at Three Mile Island, Susquehanna River. But use these Navy reactors, okay? and have the data centers buy these reactors straight up, flat out. If you want to put a data center somewhere, you have to buy one of these nuclear reactors to produce your power. You get the primary, and any spillover power would go into the grid. Now think about that. How resilient... the electric grid would become if we had all these small reactors all over the country feeding, you know, excess power, the stuff that the data center doesn't use. And not only that, whenever there's a grid emergency, see, part of this is, okay, on my YouTube channel, which I'm going to shamelessly promote right here. I did a video last week on the grid emergency, okay? And that's what got me thinking about all this and the answer to help sure up our grid, decrease our electric bill. And if he wants to, if there's security involved or something like that, have Navy personnel, Navy reactors, operators, run them. You know, you already have a core of qualified people to run these reactors. You don't have to train more. And make it a duty station. You know, you're running the reactor at so-and-so, reactor at so-and-so. You know, wherever it is, make it a naval duty station. And They get assigned to this. And the data centers, this way we also defeat China. You know, China's in the same boat we are. That's their electric grid. Well, they use, you know, it's communist, so it's all run by the government. So the people... are the lowest on the totem pole of getting electricity. So, anyway, this answers so many problems, I can't even tell you how many problems this will answer. So, let's see if I've got all my notes here right. Could lower electric bills, comprehensive advantage over China. Yeah. And, That's my spiel. So if there's anybody in the Trump administration that's listening, and not only that, then whoever makes these reactors for the Navy could get extra contracts because they only make these things when there's a contract for an aircraft carrier or a nuclear sub. Okay, so Now they would have extra, it would provide jobs. I mean, this is just win, win, win. I'm sure the Navy reactor operators would love assignments, shore assignments like this, because the only time the reactor operators, they're out to sea. Their only job is out to sea. So, you know, having a shore assignment would be great. Would be great to be able to rotate, you know, shore assignment, sea assignment. I mean, and you could increase the number of people trained in reactor operators because that was one of the things we talked about because COVID had just hit. I had set up the interview and then COVID hit. So then we started talking about COVID and the possibility of all the reactor operators getting sick because you can't operate. I would not want someone to come in to operate a nuclear reactor and say, give me the instruction manual. Give me the book and take the binder off the shelf and flip through the pages. Step one. That would not fill me full of confidence. Anyway, this is my rant on that. And boy, speaking of rants, man, James was on fire. I have my own rant that I'm going to give you on that. Islam and the current violence that's going. You know, if Islam is a religion of peace, where is the peaceful spokesman for Islam? Where is that person? You know, we should know that name, you know, like Jesse Jackson. We should know, you know, Martin Luther King is We should know that person's name, and I'm sure it's going to be a man, because if you ever notice, the Muslim faith dresses their women up terrible, and don't let them do anything other than raise kids. So there's your religion of peace, right? there. It's not a religion of peace. That's my rant. And I can't do this on YouTube, I'm sure of it. Anyway, PVM family, I am not leaving. PVN, I am just expanding. So if you like more of the NBC guy, go over to my YouTube channel. Prepping up with the Joneses. I think I have 10 subscribers. 10 subscribers. I just reached, what was it, 1,000 views. I reached 1,000 views. And I think it was the electrical grid down... podcast, or whatever you call, what do you call something on YouTube? Yeah, I think it's still a podcast, right? Anyway, that's my answer to the electric woes in the United States, and I have no idea what I'm going to call this episode. Maybe America's Power Crisis. Yeah, that's a good catchy one. America's Power Crisis. Okay, PBN family, I rambled on enough. You got my views on electric, Islam, Islamic faith. Man, man. Yeah, they're tolerant. And they're a religion of peace. Okay? So, I'm not saying anything about the vast majority of Muslims... are not jihadis, okay? They just want to live their life, raise their kids, and they have good values just like every other human being. It's only the percent, you know, the 10% that go nuts. The guy went nuts in Texas, shot up a bunch of people, you know, because a woman stepped on his prayer rug. And from what I understand, it was an accident. Anyway, I'm rambling on way too much. Take care and prep on.
