| Analytics Graph for the Atomic Insight Blog |
I just checked my Google Analytics stats for the past month. Interestingly enough, most of the increase in visits is due to a single day and most of the visits on that day went directly to a single post instead of to the blog front page. Guess which post drew the attention.

The Wall Street Journal has made a prediction that the $18.5 billion in loan guarantees first authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 will soon be awarded to the following companies – Unistar Nuclear, NRG, Scana and Southern Company. The biggest beneficiary of the decision could very well be Toshiba since they are the…
I confess – I like atomic fission power. It is far superior to the competition, so much so that they gang up on it to try to give it a bad reputation. Part of fission’s PR problem is analogous to the way that sports fans and commentators treat people like Alex Rodriguez, Tiger Woods, Barry…

This morning I was introduced to a site (American Daily) an author, (Paul Driessen) two organizations (MoveOff, LLC and Congress of Racial Equality – CORE) and a book (Eco- Imperialism – Green Power. Black Death.). The introduction came by way of a commentary titled Nuclear to the rescue. (Go read that inspiring opinion piece now…
It’s the Solar crossover isn’t it?
Yes. I am not quite sure yet why that particular one struck such a nerve.
Dan Yurman linked you, and your piece in response to the solar crossover was the most thoughtful and investigated. Since then I’ve added your blog to my feeds.
Hi Mr Adams. Are you aware of this Slashdot piece:
