Proud nuclear-enthusiast bubble dweller

…t the hydrocarbon establishment is threatened by atomic energy for almost two decades. Many of the scraps of the evidence mosaic can be found by searching this site for the phrase “smoking gun” or by going to the archives page and reading through the stories in the “Smoking Gun” or “Fossil fuel competition” topics….

Looking at Recent Events Through Fuels Market Lenses

…dgas.com/ebooks/A1ioj0/eandpvol7iss2/resources/134.htm Now this is a clear smoking gun, simply because it’s published in a trade journal of this nature. But, if we dig a bit deeper, we find a bigger smoking gun. Singapore, even if it is a nominal democracy, is a very tightly controlled state where the government is extraordinarily coordinated with the corporations. Why would Singapore oppose nuclear power? Where do the interests of Singapore lie?…

Nuclear proponent versus free market advocate for natural gas

…evidence that can be found on Atomic Insights by searching with the term “smoking gun”. The series includes such evidence as an ad paid for by the Oil Heat Institute of Long Island promoting “Solar not Nuclear” during the period when the Shoreham nuclear plant was being constructed and a more recent advertisement from the coal miner unions in Australia claiming that allowing nuclear energy would lead to massive job losses. The series includes som…

Smoking pop gun – Inside the Green Energy Ball

I have recently become an active participant on TheEnergyCollective.com. It is an interesting site that is aggregating commentary and blog feeds from diverse source that include Dan Yurman’s Idaho Samizdat and Joe Romm’s Climate Progress. This morning I ran across a fascinating “inside baseball” post from Henry Gentenaar a managing partner at Reluminati, LLC. Henry had paid his $250, put on his tuxedo and attended what he called “a prom for the p…

Corporate environmental contributions: Greenwashing or worse?

…movement, the evidence often leads me to produce another article for the “smoking gun” category here on Atomic Insights. Amory penned a rather heated response to my statement about the Brower-Anderson connection. He didn’t like the way I assume there is was a financial motive involved in the fact that the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant was FOE’s first target in its 40-year long, world-wide antinuclear campaign. Quoting from Lovins’s comment: T…

“Greens” fighting Pebble mine are helping Rio Tinto, Anglo-American and BHP Billiton

…th atomic energy, but it is an enlightening analog that would fit into the smoking gun series. It involves actions to limit the supply of valuable commodities by established suppliers of those commodities. Coordinated private actions that stop competitors from entering a market are illegal under US antitrust laws, but they can provide incredible money-making opportunities. There are big risks associated with taking actions that violate antitrust l…

Richard Muller is marketing natural gas in a “converted skeptic” costume

…-s-economy-still-sputtering-along/ Joel Riddle Rod, another aspect of this smoking gun to look into is the EPA’s relatively new rule for new power generation. I don’t recall the details, but I believe they set a limit of something in the neighborhood of 600 grams/kW-hr, just high enough to allow new Natural Gas-fired generation, but effectively excluding any non-CCS Coal-fired generation. If that isn’t some sort of a Smoking Gun, what is? Robert S…

Esso Italiana paid political parties for specific “corporate objectives” including oil instead of nuclear

…llegal actions by a major oil interest that played a role in halting the nuclear development program of a major European economy. That action, in this case, was documented as asking the government to stop nuclear power development and burn more oil instead. This is a clear smoking gun. I’d like to thank the people who continue to challenge me to provide additional evidence to support my theory that the effort to slow nuclear energy development inc…

Contrasting Views On Hydraulic Fracturing Gas Production – Fissures Developing in the Environmental Movement

…ghtly regulated extraction efforts. The second story nearly qualifies as a smoking gun. It clearly links the top leadership of a major environmental group – the Sierra Club – with promoting shale gas, a direct competitor with nuclear energy in the electricity production market. Since Carl Pope does not mention nuclear directly, Pope cannot be accused of speaking negatively about it while selling gas, but failing to mention it at all in the context…

How would a Rockefeller crony react to Eddington’s vision of subatomic energy?

…ading that passage. Almost two years ago, I mentioned him in a post titled Smoking Gun Research Continuing in Earnest, describing how he had given an address at the 1930 meeting of the World Power Conference. His talk included a phrase so memorable in the collective mind of the energy industry leaders that it still appears prominently on the history page of the World Energy Council. In his address, Eddington said that in the future “subatomic ener…
