Gregory Jaczko – Example of Public Hazard of Political Appointments

ByRod Adams

…nce and factual problem solving. It was plain to everyone in the room that Jackzo had no experience or understanding beyond that required of a politician. Zero respect. Brian Mays Jackzo came to Vermont Yankee and … referred to himself as a scientist. Scientist … minion … I can see where it’s easy to get the two terms mixed up, since they both appear together in the same B-grade horror films. Jackzo should remember, however, that he’s not th…

Jaczko must go

ByRod Adams

…give him a license to disrupt an entire industry to make a point. Even if Jackzo stays, he’ll be partially rendered impotent to a degree because of the possibility of a. further episodes of controversy leading to bad press for the Administration causing them to apply direct pressure to him, and b. simple legislative action can take all power out of the chairmanship and give it to the Commission proper. Attaching a simple rider to a convenient spe…

Greg Jaczko is continuing his career as an international promoter of natural gas

ByRod Adams

…tions. Jeff Walther One thing which I think should be brought up, whenever Jackzo is mentioned, is his self-proclaimed incompetence. He claims to oppose nuclear electricity generation because he maintains that heat from residual decay after shutdown makes nuclear reactors inherently unsafe. When asked why he only now took this position and not while he was on the NRC, he claimed that he only recently became aware of it. So, Jackzo was on the NRC a…

Open warfare: four NRC commissioners versus Chairman Jaczko

ByRod Adams

…he NRC concur Jackzo is subverting the Commission’s work. If anything, the Jackzo debacle shows how the NRC is structurally flawed in that the Chairman is more than a symbol. It should behave like a true commission in all of its affairs; the Chairman should be nobody but a “first among equals”. Markey is just a griefer; as has been noted elsewhere, there are no nuclear plants within his district save for a research reactor or two; his anti-nuclear…

Markey is lying. The AP1000 design certification has been anything but “fast tracked”

ByRod Adams

…with Reid to let John Roberts nomination to SCOTUS go thru, Bush appointed Jackzo and NEI pitched a fit, so Bush also appointed Senator Pete Domenici’s Peter Lyons as balance. Vitriol edited out by moderator got in (yeah, I am giving him all the respect that you all still give my President, George Bush) and put Jackzo in charge, demoting Dale Klein and then letting Klein and Lyons leave. So is it any surprise that an anti-nuke Democrat abuses work…

Greg Jaczko claims nuclear is too expensive and that unreliables will take its place

ByRod Adams

…r Reid is an ass, but he’s a sly ass. He hit the NRC with a one-two punch. Jackzo was a sexual bigot, and incompetent manager, and Reid’s minion. After Jackzo, having a competent, unbigoted anti-nuclear fanatic as chairman of the NRC doesn’t look so bad, to some people. Don’t fall for it. This is the “Good cop; bad cop” routine writ in the bureaucracy. A very clever man, that ass in the senate. John Tucker Renewables are the way to distribute all…

Supporters of nuclear energy development face off with antinuclear activists in Gaffney, SC

ByRod Adams

…u just might change your beliefs. “Can we afford 4 more years of Obama and Jackzo?” Sadly, while you complain about Jackzo and the anti-nukes, a change of mind – a genuine repentance – hasn’t happened yet, however. Jeff S Well, to be fair, UCS describes itself as scientists AND citizens. It’s not like that guy got his dog onto the board of directors or authoring an article for their magazine. Almost any political advocacy group will accept your mo…

Vermont Yankee is latest victim in Big Oil’s price war against nuclear competition

ByRod Adams

…resident, he demoted pro-nuclear Dale Klien, promoted anti-nuclear Gregory Jackzo as Chairman, and then when Jackzo‘s demeaning behavior towards women became an embarrassment, he was replaced with geologist Allison Macfarlane who has a known relationship with anti-nuclear activists. Now we have five units being shuttered: SONGS 2 and 3, Kewanee, Crystal River and Vermont Yankee. And it’s Andy Cuomo, the Democrat governor of NYS, who is actively se…

NRC FY2011 Budget Request is $13.3 Million LESS Than The 2010 Budget Appropriation

ByRod Adams

…tana0182 (Dave) I think it’s fairly obvious – in my opinion – why Chailman Jackzo is slashing the budget – the same reason he had a meeting with the antis in Congress – and the same reason he’s started speaking out about the “high cost of nuclear power”. He’s trying to accomplish with budgetary means, what he can’t accomplish with regulatory means, a goal at cross-purposes with the agenda of the President; he’s gone rogue on Obama. The man has an…

…ble, or proposed by him in the first place. Don’t forget that Burns backed Jackzo on Yucca Mountain and at the hearings that preceded his resignation. EL … no one seems to mind that Steve Burns’ current job is head of the NEA’s legal affairs section. @ oldnuke Not according to article cited by Rod: “Burn’s nomination, however, has run into questions from the opposite perspective as well, with some environmentalists noting the apparent revolving do…

Atomic Energy Position – Democratic Party 1956

ByRod Adams

…ear energy and the Republican Party supports it. Obama appointed anti-nuke Jackzo as Chairman and when Jackzo‘s denigration of women proved to be an embarrassment to the narcissist President’s pro-feminist re-election campaign he was forced to resign. Then he was replaced with a geologist who knows nothing nuclear and whose husband was involved in the anti-nuclear movement. But as long as we are talking about history, which party enslaved human be…

House committee report sharply critical of passive aggressive “decision” on Yucca

ByRod Adams

…to paint the NRC as being cozy with the industry. Ioannes Obamna appointed Jackzo as Chairman (don’t make me go all the way through the Bush-Reid-John Roberts thing all over again). Rod voted for Obama and is proud to have done so. Now he complains about Jackzo. Illogical. Rod Adams @Ioannes – Do you fail to understand the basic principles of freedom and democracy? Just because I vote for a president once every 4 years does not mean that I have to…
