One of the Best TV Specials I've Seen – How The Greens Went Nuclear

ByRod Adams November 4, 2008July 21, 2020

NEI Nuclear Notes pointed me to Angela Saihi, their most recent blogger for nuclear energy. The NEI post did not prepare me to find a professionally produced show titled People and Power with part one of an episode about how the greens went nuclear. You really need to see this.

I am looking forward to seeing part two. Angela has asked for people to comment; please take her up on her request and let her know that we appreciate her effort to share the truth about nuclear power’s benefits.
Update: Part II is available at People & Power – How the Greens Went Nuclear, 4 Nov 08, Pt 2. Only the first 4-5 minutes are about nuclear power, the rest is a discussion about First Ladies.

Sharing message at #StrikeWithUs – We can use nuclear energy to address climate change
ByRod Adams September 22, 2019September 22, 2019

On Friday, September 20, I took to the streets with a couple dozen other locals as part of the Student Climate Strike. I’m pleased to note that this political action seems to be part of a movement that is capturing attention and providing numerous “teachable moments.” Like any good activist, I carefully chose my attire…
China's Nuclear Program Moving Fast Enough to Increase Interest in Advanced Fuel Cycles
ByRod Adams May 20, 2010July 17, 2020

For most of the past thirty years, there has been little incentive to develop nuclear energy systems that release more than a tiny portion of the potential energy found in uranium. The same lack of market incentive has nearly completely kept thorium out of the energy supply market. The perception was that we were doing…
We Support Lee: Al Gore's Speech
ByRod Adams September 28, 2006July 20, 2020

There is an interesting and well reasoned post at We Support Lee: Al Gore’s Speech that is worth a visit. It contains a clear articulation of the plusses and minuses of various energy production methods and tries to understand the politics that often underly some of the statements made about each energy production method. Energy…

ByRod Adams November 16, 2006July 15, 2020

During day three of the ANS Winter Meeting, I chose to focus my efforts to learn about advances and efforts underway in the areas of training and education. That area seems very important to me – as the Second Atomic Age begins it will be very important to work diligently to train operators, technicians, engineers,…
Ivanpah Solar Thermal officially opens
ByRod Adams February 15, 2014July 11, 2020

BrightSource Energy’s 377 MWe (net at peak) Ivanpah solar thermal power station officially opened on February 13, 2014. Secretary Earnest Moniz, in a rather amusing turn of phrase, called the plant a “shining example of how the United States is becoming a world leader in solar energy.” With more than 340,000 computer controlled mirrors spread…
Merkel asks Germans to think about nuclear phase out
ByRod Adams January 12, 2007July 18, 2020

In the wake of the EU energy report, Angela Merkel has reaffirmed that her government will stand by the deal that they made with their coalition partners when she was elected. Her party will not back out of the agreement to begin shutting down nuclear power plants. However, she apparently is working hard to convince…
