According to my understanding heavy water is evenly distributed in seawater at a rate of about 330 parts per million. I don't think Hudson Bay gets any preferential treatment. I consulted some physics sources to see if there is any variability based on cold versus warm, deep versus shallow. One site I visited questioned this saying if salinity increases in deeper water why wouldn't other constituents within seawater alter? But as for Hudson Bay, this issue is not relevant since the Bay is generally a shallower body of water than much of the ocean. Moreover the Bay is less salty than surrounding oceans because it has a significant number of rivers emptying freshwater into it and its outlet to the Arctic Ocean is somewhat restricted through the Hudson Strait. In fact much of the Bay has very low salinity at the surface with the average depth about 100 meters.]]> In reply to Harlan Cohen.

Well actuaaly, I was curious if Heavy Water resources are useful to anyone and whether the Hudson Bay captures mor or less than elsewhere.]]> In reply to lenrosen4.

As for LENR I have written extensively about this subject and am convinced that whatever the energy derived from the chemical reaction taking place in every one of these reactors, there is little in the way of a successful commercial application of the technology. How many times have we been promised a LENR commercial launch? The company in Australia, the company in Greece, Rossi's various announcements.....it all seems pretty specious to me.]]> In reply to AlainCo.

Hi AlainCo, I chose not to describe Statoil's specific plans in addressing a transition from oil to a low carbon future other than to state that the company recognized the challenges and was up for them. Thank you for the links to the NTVA and TEKNA meetings.]]> In reply to AlainCo.

Hi Harlan, I chose not to address fusion in this particular piece which is focused on what to do with oil in a future low carbon world. As for fusion my latest contributions to the subject can be found at http://www.21stcentech.com/general-fusion-takes-step-developing-magnetized-target-fusion-technology/. And if you do a search on "fusion" on my blog site I think you will see whether faith describes my position on the subject or not. I assume the deuterium reference is tongue in cheek.]]> In reply to Harlan Cohen.

But like about Saudi recent oil dumping, and aramco sales, the fact that banks and oil companies have sold oils field to states and funds, ther is maybe a deeper reality.

This was the subject of this meeting organised by NTVA and TEKNA
http://energi.tekna.no/lavenergetiske-kjernereaksjoner/
This seminar is translated in english there
https://portal.tekna.no/ikbViewer/Content/917462/LENR%20Seminar%20Oslo%205%20%20Nov%202014%20EN%20(2).pdf
and one of the participan made his own summary

Meanwhile Steven Chu was making a travel with Robert Godes to statoil, after a visit to Finish Green ex-minister Pekka Haavisto

Note that it is Elforsk, now named Energiforsk after a merge, who is the scandinavian reference in that affair.

this is more than 1 years ago, and things are more precise now.
Even Airbus is aware, and saudi are dumping their oil like AppleStore dump old iPhone before the new generation arrive.
