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.

Oil prices continue to increase with depressing regularity, mainly due to fears that the available supply will not continue to match the growth in demand.

It has been really, really cold in Russia for the past few days. Even the weather resistant Russians are turning up the thermostat and causing huge demands on their electrical power and natural gas delivery systems. According to the BBC, electrical power consumption peaked at 146,000 MW on Wednesday, a level not seen since the…
There is a lot of excitement these days for solar energy plants, with some particular amount of breathless enthusiasm for solar thermal power plants that use concentrating mirrors to add heat to a transfer fluid that is then used to create steam. Some of the technology’s supporters even claim that this kind of system, since…
I have been giving some thought to China’s nuclear power development prospects and plans. It seems to me that there are some aspects that might be worth discussing.
