November 7, 2015 By Rod Adams 32 Comments

On November 6, 2015, a Friday afternoon, the White House hosted a Summit on Nuclear Energy.

October 18, 2015 By Rod Adams

National Geographic Explorer — now part of the Rupert Murdock media empire — published the below clips of Bill Nye, the bow-tied science guy, beseeching “deniers” to stop denying so that we can all get to work. He calls for an immediate halt to the use of fossil fuels and their replacement with “renewable energy” […]

Martin O’Malley should distinguish himself from Bernie Sanders by promoting his stance as a pro-nuclear progressive

September 12, 2015 By Rod Adams

I’m a progressive liberal who frequently listens to Democracy Now! That makes me a bit of an oddity because I am also fiercely pro-nuclear energy.

Unfortunately, the catechism taught to hereditary or geographical liberals includes such talking […]

WISE and NIRS promoting twisted campaign with slogan “Don’t nuke the climate”

June 17, 2015 By Rod Adams

It has been a long standing absurdity that the clean development mechanisms approved by the Kyoto treaty to reduce the risk of climate change exclude nuclear energy.
