…of agreement in a sharply divided Congress. It is an improvement program where there are so many potential benefits that everyone – with the possible exceptions of Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey, two relics who cannot seem to discard their 1960s point of view – in the House and Senate can find reasons to favor supportive legislation….
…o aggressively participate in the negotiations that resulted in the Waxman-Markey version of the climate bill that came out of the House of Representatives have clearly made a difference. The industry is taking off its gloves, spending quite a bit of spare change and working hard to market its product. This is no time for atomic advocates to maintain our usual reticence and shy proclamations that nuclear power deserves a place in the energy mix. I…
…neration is needed. The Waxman-Markey bill had a major anti-nuclear issue. Markey. Markey is and will always be anti-nuclear. So Waxman’s involvement, and also his staff’s work, on the bill with an avowed anti-nuclear congressman provides some hints about how Baran might perform as a commissioner at the NRC. More data points: Baran worked for Greg Dotson – Waxman’s energy and environment advisor – until Dotson left for the Center for American Prog…
…MA befor ehe went over to the senate. They didn’t ask about any talks with Markey directly or between Markey and Reid before he went over. Cheers – Bas NNadir, Heading into disaster… Not so pessimistic! Last century we tried nuclear, this century we try renewable with bigger chance for success. Jason C Don’t take the bait, please! Bill Rodgers @Joffan, My issue is that Jaczko started as an aide to Markey, a known anti-nuclear politician as has b…
…avor republicans these days, because I believe they hate the middle class, Markey is running for the senate, and it might be worthwhile to make a donation to his opponent, Gabriel E. Gomez. As today’s republicans go, he actually seems fairly moderate. It would have been even better to support Markey‘s oppenent in the race for the Democrat nomination.

…tains an LNG terminal that has been in operation almost exactly as long as Markey has been the leading antinuclear member of Congress. Can you guess which district that might be? Coincidence? Bruce Behrhorst @DV82XL I think the most impact between Hydrocarbon and nuclear even in canada is nuclear has a multi-use aspect and returns of Desalination- District Heating-fuels production-electrical power production far out weighs a Hydro system where fue…
…anyone have any thoughts on this letter from Markey regarding USEC? http://markey.house.gov/document/2012/rep-markey-letter-secretary-chu-regarding-usec In many ways, it would behoove the U.S. government to maintain some enrichment capacity, but with the privatization of USEC, the issue seems pretty murky. When I initially saw that this letter had been written, my first thought was “Markey really is anti-nuke to the core”. Then I read the letter….
…ts, do they not? In one particular implementation of cap-and-trade (Waxman-Markey), existing polluters get carbon credits initially, before transitioning to an auction. This is absurd, but it has nothing to do with cap-and-trade in general. The other cap-and-trade bill in the US, Cantwell-Collins, does not give away carbon credits to existing polluters: it auctions all credits from the start. (What’s more, just like carbon-tax-and-dividend it reba…
…nwhile, how much support for nuclear power have we received from Waxman or Markey? Brian Mays I do not see how being confrontational with those that, while not being perhaps full supporters of the nuclear option, are not dead set against it. DV82XL – You’re not paying attention. That’s what Rod is doing, not me. Observe what he wrote: “One more thing — how many of the real climate change skeptics are out there pushing hard for new nuclear power p…
…fired the next day. Note to the NEI. Big Oil has paid off politicians like Markey /Big Media/Big Green to spew the nonsense that gas is dirt cheap and clean energy when in fact today’s $3/mcf is only a $2/mcf LNG ride to a $15 market spewing almost as many GHG;s as coal along the way.. Big Oil will keep bribing the politicians and subsidizing massive gas production losses until those coal plants become gas and the nuclear threat is bypassed. Then…
…rom one of the only natural gas terminals in the U.S. (incidentally, which Markey opposes and which I believe you have covered in the past) – indicate that the natural gas producers are looking to exploit arbitrage. That is, taking natural gas which is very cheap right here and exporting it to markets where it is rare and in high demand (i.e., Japan & Europe). I suppose if your really want to make the case that natural gas prices won’t remain low,…
