Knowing how ad placement works on the internet, I thought I would capture and share a recent experience I had while reading an article on The Hill E2 Wire titled Libyan turmoil, $100 per barrel oil fuel Republican drilling push on Capitol Hill.
I love having a forward looking neighbor and competitor in the nuclear business.

My family and I just returned from a terrific coach tour of the UK and Ireland. I liked being a passenger; it gave me the opportunity to see a lot of the country. As people that know me might suspect, I paid a good deal of attention to the energy infrastructure that I could see…
Dan Rather interviewed Dr. Ernest Moniz as part of an in-depth look at nuclear energy, its future prospects in the United States and its current technological position. Dr. Moniz is a professor at MIT, was one of the co-chairs of the study group that produced MIT’s recent report titled The Future of Natural Gas and…
Ted Rockwell is a man who literally wrote the book on radiation shielding while he was serving as the Technical Director at Naval Reactors. He was in that position during the period when the Nautilus and the Shippingport reactors were built to use the heat generated by fission to produce useful power. Ted has been…

This might be a little off-topic, but as long as we’re talking about ads, I’d like to throw out an idea for any nuclear energy marketers who might stumble across this posting. . .
A few years back, as I was taking a physics course, I went through a period where I was really thinking a lot about just what energy *is*. That is, what is the definition of energy? I mean, if you have to explain to a child or high schooler about energy, what do you tell them energy is?
There are many complicated ways to explain that, but I think there’s at least one simple answer: energy is the potential for change.
Without energy we would live in a completely static, unchanging universe. Energy is motion, heat, light, chemical reactions, the forces of gravity, electromagnetism, and the nuclear forces.
So, here’s where the marketing idea comes in: we live in a country with many problems, one of them being a situation where our energy supply is tenuous at best, and where almost everyone wants CHANGE. Energy is the potential for change, and no source has more energy than nuclear.
I really think you could build a nuclear marketing campaign around that play on words.
A little while after posting this, I remembered that Gwyneth Craven’s had authored a book called “The Power To Change The World”, so one person at least has already been using this idea. I had forgotten about it, but then it came back to me . . . after I posted the above, I got to thinking that sounded kind of familiar, then I remembered her book.
