CSPAN StudentCam Grand Prize Winners – They’ve Got the Power!

ByRod Adams

A couple of days ago, I shared a video titled I’ve Got the Power that was produced by three middle school students from Racine Wisconsin. That video was C-Span’s grand prize winner in its annual studentcam contest. It beat out more than 1000 competitive submissions, including those submitted in the high school category.

Here is a video that includes the prize announcement and an interview with the three young ladies – Madison Richards, Samantha Noll, and Lauren Nixon – who created the documentary. It warmed my heart to watch it this morning and made me proud to be an American and a nuke. As the father of accomplished daughters who are now off on their own, watching those young ladies smiling with a bit of embarrassed pride in having done something worthwhile.

I hope this makes your day just a bit better than it would otherwise be.

Are oil sands the answer – Fumento thinks so

ByRod Adams

One of my favorite authors is Michael Fumento – he has published a number of excellent books and articles during the past 20 years. However, I think his logic is a bit weak when it comes to his recent article about the use of oil sands as a replacement for other oil supplies. There is…

He is a very progressively minded chemist who calls himself an Eleanor Roosevelt liberal. He believes that prosperity for all is a good goal, that humans have a…
