Smoking gun – Antinuclear talking points coined by coal interests

…home heating market and the railroad locomotive market to diesel fuel and natural gas. The utility power market was the coal industry’s only real growth area. However, by the early 1970s, the coal industry quietly backed away from the political struggle against atomic energy, apparently recognizing that more effective recruits had arrived to continue the fight. After 1971, it appears that the coal industry decided to focus its internal efforts on…

Challenging Master Resource’s implication that Enron was the only rent seeking manipulator

…e, Enron and its leaders were seeking unearned income by driving up market prices and establishing trading products whose prices they could control and manipulate. However, the rest of the hydrocarbon industry played along with the movement that arose against atomic fission because they knew that their profits were going to be under severe pressure if they allowed fission to flourish and drive down the price of energy fuels due to the inevitable i…

EPA Carbon pollution emission guidelines – New and preserved nuclear capacity

…increase in sales for the natural gas industry and an increase in natural gas prices due to the shifting in supply-demand balance toward demand. When the price gets high enough, demand destruction (not demand management) will result in a slowdown in the economy and an eventual drop in prices to allow the cycle to start all over again. When prices are high and before consumers can adjust their lifestyles or production plans to reduce demand, the m…

Don’t blame “the market.” Individual people with money and power do not like nuclear

…e been to shy away from nuclear in the years since June 2008 while natural gas prices here have been suppressed to a level that is about 1/3 of their level in most developed nations around the world. However, there are individuals who have made a different choice and decided to invest in nuclear energy because of its natural advantages and its potential for future market success. If that was not true, I would not have the day job I have today as p…

Trump’s Energy Policy Is Scary To Multinational Petroleum Interests

…energy from actinides like uranium, plutonium and thorium, prices for oil, natural gas, and coal would be several times lower than they are today. It is often in the interest of existing suppliers to suggest and support rules that slow or stop their competitors. The most egregious examples of these anticompetitive actions often include grandfather clauses that exempts the existing suppliers from the most costly provisions of new regulations. As pa…

The moral imperative to build new nuclear power stations

…o resist being seduced by salesmen who are touting temporarily low natural gas prices, and about the importance of helping people to understand that vast expenditures in unreliable energy sources are NOT wise investments of our time and treasure. When evaluated using a monetary yardstick, my atomic energy advocacy seems to be on a losing streak. Many of the projects that produced so much atomic optimism in the US during the period from 2005-mid 20…

Civil disobedience might be needed to overcome illogical EPA limits on radiation

…cy. Brian Mays Meanwhile, three people are in critical condition after two natural gas barges exploded on the Mobile river. I guess they were fortunate that the barges weren’t still loaded with natural gasoline (a natural gas liquid) when the explosions occurred. Fire officials couldn’t do anything to fight the fires resulting from the explosions, so the just let them burn overnight. Bas @James … it’s nuclear that has yet to learn the law of the…

Radioactive Wolves – Coming to PBS Nature on October 19, 2011

…le that the Soviet dependence on hard currency income from selling oil and natural gas to Europe played a role in the response actions and the publicity push to demonize nuclear energy in the West? One of the cardinal rules of that effective propagandists follow is that they never believe their own propaganda. I find it enlightening to know that Russia has not only continued to operate the same Chernobyl-style RBMK reactors that have been forced t…

Fukushima Happened. Now What?

…use it would prefer to use their power to produce electricity than to burn natural gas for that activity. Russians are smart enough to recognize that natural gas shipped to Germany and sold for several hundred euros per thousand cubic meters is much more valuable than gas sold to internal customers for about 50 euros per thousand cubic meters. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904563904576584831235317422.html Jon Wharf The evidence con…

What We’re Told About Climate Change Versus What We’re Told About Genetic Effects of Radiation

…are more storms than in the past. But is this true climate change or just natural variation? Does a particularly cold or snowy winter, such as the one the eastern United States experienced in 2013 and 2014, or variations in the rate of global surface temperature change call global warming into question? If the climate is changing, are human activities responsible, or is it being caused by natural factors? … When we take the long view on climate c…

Nonproliferation is a disguised antinuclear energy effort

…h below the cost of production, that drilling is slowing way, way down. US gas prices are going to soar in a few years. As veteran geologist Art Berman states, shale gas is not a revolution, but a retirement party. Wall Street knows this too. So, where is the cheap energy to come from if not oil or gas? There is only one possibility, nuclear energy. Even the oil companies may jump on board this bandwagon, as their capital expenditures for oil expl…

Plutonium power for the people

…eenhouse gas. A small negative for the PR campaign of the ‘cleanliness’ of natural gas. Joel Riddle I too read the Spiegel article and had a few quick beefs/critiques. 1. Do Russian reactor welds not get QC and radiographic inspections to ensure they were of proper quality/craftsmanship? 2. Saying that Plutonium is “completely useless for civilian purposes” is quite untrue. Plutonium bred during normal operation in conventional nuclear reactors pr…
