Luke Weston at Physical Insights has produced a valuable and detailed post about the Australian coal industry’s research and marketing efforts in the field of carbon capture and sequestration. Go read it – perhaps twice – before getting excited about the prospects for “clean coal”.
Rod Adams is Managing Partner of Nucleation Capital, a venture fund that invests in advanced nuclear, which provides affordable access to this clean energy sector to pronuclear and impact investors.

I have decided to offer my November 2005 interview with Kelly Taylor, an active member of the North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NA-YGN) to a new audience by posting it on The Atomic Show as show number 8. If you have never heard this interview and you still think that nukes all look and…
Update (Added on March 18, 2011) There has been an incredible amount of coverage, fear mongering, and “worst case scenario” predicting. The Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission risked offending one of America’s staunchest allies by recommending that all US citizens within 50 miles of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant evacuate. The recommendations coming…
Alexandra Prokopenko at Atom Watch has been keeping a close eye on the question Where Should Germany Store Its Nuclear Waste? This question has been gaining increasing importance in recent weeks because Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats announced desire to reopen the decision to prematurely shut down existing nuclear plants and to even consider the possibility…
A friend of mine who has been a professional nuclear engineer for a couple of decades sent me a link to a mid September 2009 blog post at AdWeek.com titled Grey Energizes America’s Natural Gas Alliance: WPP Group shop fires up first salvo this weekend. Here is a quote from the advertising trade press publication:…
The heat wave causing the East Coast to swelter and crank up the air conditioning has eased a bit, and Chris has been downgraded from a tropical storm to a depression that no longer threatens Gulf of Mexico production. Those two factors have helped to reduce the price of natural gas at New York City…
One of the primary advantages that nuclear energy sources have over chemical energy competitors is energy density. Using our current, rather primitive technology that essentially obtains nuclear energy from the 0.7% fraction of uranium that is easily fissioned with a single, low energy neutron, uranium contains about 16,000 times as much energy per unit weight…
