  1. The Kerry-Boxer Bill Senate Committee action? My God!…what the hell are these people smoking? Action is defined by doing something other than talking. If anyone else tried to justify their income by such nebulous consideration of a Senate Bill they would be fired. They talk as if the result of what is said had no bearing on reality except who is kissing the behind of the “right” people.

  2. @Michael – welcome to Washington politics. However, all that talking really does have an affect on people’s lives, so I try to pay some attention and do all I can to help steer the discussion.

For example, Nick wrote: Let’s start with some basics. What…

Investor reaction to an aggressive plan for new nuclear power plants

ByRod Adams

Here is a time to preach to the converted. During the past dozen or so years, I have engaged in a number of conversations with well-compensated executives in the energy industry.

My apologies to Joe Romm – this time, I agree with him (kind of)

ByRod Adams

About a week ago, I posted a link to a discussion about the world’s energy situation hosted by The Economist. One of the scheduled featured debaters was Joe Romm. I assumed that he would provide commentary that strongly discouraged the use of nuclear power – that is his normal position. I was wrong and apologize….
