| 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.

It continues to frustrate me when people like Amory Lovins, Joe Romm or Craig Severance boldly claim that nuclear energy is “too expensive” despite all evidence to the contrary.

Jack Spencer of the Heritage Foundation has published an issue paper titled Senate Attempts to Promote Small Nuclear Reactors Fall Short that is worth reading.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of minor points that are not accurate. They detract from the video’s value, but should not spoil the overall point. Perhaps the originator will take the…
Vindy.com, the web site of The Vindicator from Youngstown, Ohio, published an article titled Nuclear plant reaches age 50 on Sunday December 16, 2007. I am glad that the publishers gave me two days warning for the actual anniversary date when the reactor first produced grid power of December 18, 2007. It will give me…
In an article titled Campbell eager for nuclear challenge Electric Light and Power described a personnel transition with an interesting twist. Bill Campbell moved from Entergy to TVA to become their head of nuclear operations. In that post he will be focused on operating and maintaining TVA’s existing fleet of reactors, while Ashok Bhatnagar will…

The basis premise of the article is that Bill Gates, who is operating a foundation that spends about $3 billion…

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:

Cheers!
Rod, that article got linked, and I found your great blog, too. Keep up the great work. I have really been enjoying it since then.
It looks like the majority of comments are nuke-favourable. Here’s the article in question:
