A couple of weeks ago, I met with Marc Gunther, a journalist who is a contributing editor at Fortune magazine and author of four books, at a local coffee shop for a conversation about energy.
He has just posted an article describing our meeting and summarizing the conversation. Please forgive my vanity, but I recommend that you visit Marc’s site and read A Naval officer’s “Atomic Insights”.

The BBC is reporting this morning that Australia has signed an agreement with China to supply approximately 20,000 tons of uranium each year under the condition that the Australian uranium will not be used in the Chinese nuclear weapons program.
