Value of low dose radiation research ignored by DOE Office of Science managers

ByRod Adams

…kson Browne/BP….er, I mean, biofuels lobby. It’s too bad that Dr. Ernest Moniz wasn’t contacted about this in an attempt to override the decision in the Office of Science at the DOE. In addition, someone with publishing capability should invite Dr. Metting to write a book. wesupportlee I wanted to share a couple more transcripts and articles I found about these incidents. I have used the more formal sources, although there are also numerous brie…

Rational Answer to Carl Pope’s Dismissal of Nuclear Technologies

ByRod Adams

…og post that attacked Lynas. I said (to Romm) one of your former teachers (Moniz) couldn’t even stand beside you on stage without feeling forced to tell the crowd you were lying to them. I have interacted with some others of them in political debate over decades. Unlike Patrick Moore, I have always been a critic of my so called fellow Greens, to the point I never fit in anywhere, except briefly in the late 1980s as a leader in the movement in BC,…

Why James Hansen might be underestimating nuclear energy’s growth potential and why Joe Romm is wrong

ByRod Adams

…nnual uranium production would likely stress the extractive capacities of in-situ mining and require large open-cast ore bodies. Contrary to the opinion of Energy Sec. Ernest Moniz now is not too soon to develop thermal & fast breeder reactors in order to avoid late 21st century fissile bottlenecks….

NGNP aims to expand nuclear fission out of its electricity producing niche (box)

…M pa for advanced nuclear the only possible in time solution to AGW. Maybe Moniz can change it all around but I doubt it. This century belongs to China. Ironically it was Chu who gave them the keys. Engineer-Poet Every time that the issues related to helium (very low MW, very high velocities and compressor/turbine speeds) are considered, I come back to neon.  The thermal-neutron cross-section of neon is only about 6x helium’s (0.04 barn vs. 0.007)…

PBS Need to Know – The Nuclear Option. Damning with faint praise

ByRod Adams

…-energy-initiative-been-captured-by-natural-gas-industry-money/ BTW – when Moniz submitted his financial disclosure for Sec DOE, it listed total net worth between $5.7 and $18 million. Evidently, energy focused professors make a good living at MIT. Rod Adams @Steve Stutnik Lester’s words were not objectionable. They were also completely uninspiring and cautios. That is the epitome of the communications technique I call “damning with faint praise.”…

Crowd source request – influence of BEAR I assertion that there is no threshold of radiation dose

ByRod Adams

…a! You can find much more detail at Nuclear Diner. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has been part of the negotiations and is now writing op-eds and doing interviews with lots of factual matter on the Iran Deal. Nonproliferation experts with a great deal of nuclear expertise, like the people at the Arms Control Association, Jeffrey Lewis (Arms Control Wonk) and others at the Monterey Institute, to name a few, are writing and interviewing. As far as en…

Concrete Action to Follow Strongly Supportive Words On Building New Nuclear Power Plants

ByRod Adams

…ncludes Dr. Per Peterson, former Senator Domenici, Susan Eisenhower, Ernie Moniz, Brent Scowcroft and Dick Meserve. I am even somewhat encouraged by the selection of Allison MacFarlane; I interviewed her for The Atomic Show a couple of years back. There is a possibility that the commission might even make some good decisions. Obama could enhance the incentive for building new nuclear power plants and renewable energy systems by getting Congress to…

U.S. Energy Secretary Plans To Review New England’s Natural Gas Shortage There is an ample supply of natural gas because of new drilling techniques, like hydraulic fracturing or fracking, but it has become costly to transport it into New England. Pipelines into the region are packed, as cold weather raises demand for heating and…

Already, beyond its ridiculous land use per megawatt numbers and its intermittentcy its being implicated in wildlife issues: “The company, which is based in Oakland, Calif., reported finding dozens of dead birds at the Ivanpah plant over the past several months, while workers w…

Big bets in energy technology from “Beyond Petroleum”

…icy-but-opposed-to-nuclear-power/#postComment ). Daniel Revkin states that Moniz would go along with this. But Moniz talks the talk. He does not walk the walk. Moniz keeps lying about the loan guarantee for Vogtle saying that it is granted. Nothing is further from the truth and he is the one blocking the process. He is a liar. Daniel Hawkins associates nuclear with military weapons much in the same way the mentally challenged link electricity to t…
