Rep Shimkus, a conservative market proponent, recognizes that “the waste issue” imposes a financial risk and cost on nuclear energy

ByRod Adams

…k about how much less CO2 would be floating in the air around Milwaukee if Zion I & II and Kewaunee were still operating? Think about how much LESS their taxes would be if that Wind turbine was not there and power was coming from a taxpaying NPP like the now closed Kewaunee Power Station? Engineer-Poet When are the Wind and Solar “Exspurts” going to wake up and use some basic common sense? About the 43rd of never.  It’s a romantic movement borderi…

Nuclear less risky than natural gas – for customers

ByRod Adams

…ng to do with whether the AP-1000 would last 60 years?! Three reactors, at Zion and Kewaunee, were closed due to short-term economic planning. It’s arguable whether the two units at San Onofre should be lumped into this category as well. That leaves three additional reactors — Millstone-1, Maine Yankee, and Conn Yankee — all located up in the Northeast, a region that is been a bastion for anti-nuclear nutjobs for decades. None of these 14 closed…

Would a third party candidate use “N” word in debates on energy alternatives?

ByRod Adams

…about why the company had not taken a more visionary approach to restoring Zion to operation when natural gas prices started rising in 2000. I am starting to get a better vibe from Chris Crane; the company’s stance about the PTC is refreshing. Robert Steinhaus @Engineer-Poet – The CO2 produced by a DCFC fuel cell is rather pure, sufficiently pure to consider for use in many large scale industrial chemical processes that would never consider using…

Blog row in UK between EWEA and Foratom regarding magnitude of subsidies

…s decommissioning funds in the next few years. This is even worse than the Zion shut down. seth Yeah Rod are you working on a report on what Big Oil scam the utility is working on in order to justify shutting down Kewaunee. Twominds I can’t find it either. I’ve posted a line at EWEA asking for a link to the discussion. Now I’ll wait and see if they’ll react. Twominds I had a little conversation at the EWEA blog and it seems the blog row consists o…

Fear mongering over WATER leaks at Fukushima Dai-ichi

ByRod Adams

…lt of a plan prepared since many month to kill Syrian civilians, claiming “Zionist” motive. At this stage, this becomes an exercise in using critical thinking skills to identify which sites on the Internet can claim even the smallest level of credibility. fasciated1 @Rod Here is a link to the original press release from Tepco. http://www.tepco.co.jp/cc/press/2013/1229852_5117.html From the link; “In addition, it is as follows: nuclide analysis res…

Cooperative Effort is Required to Build Large New Nuclear Power Plants and Allow Those Projects to Create Jobs

ByRod Adams

…tilities into near bankruptcy; we see that with the pending destruction of Zion in Illinois, believed by some to be a plot to drive down supply and therefore destroy supply to impose high electricity prices on demand; we see that with the wind-turbine lobby being cross-subsidized by the gas-pushers; we see that with the ongoing slick publicity campaign for the “smart grid” to import time-of-use spot pricing, power markets, and Wall Street Enron-Sa…

Atomic Show #179 – The Forgotten Bomb

ByRod Adams

…ited States. ‘Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?’ he asked. ‘You should know that this slogan, this goal, can certainly be achieved.'” Quoted by Amir Taheri in the NY Post, 9/23/07. Well, that’s an ambiguous political statement, and for all I know something was lost in translation. But the word “goal” is pretty clear. To that goal, what? Some demonstrations? I have no problem with the Persians and all those other…

Is an employee buyout a win-win-win solution for Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station?

ByRod Adams

…ome cheaper in the future. See citizens’ pending lawsuit for protection of Zion nuclear decommsissioning trust fund in federal court in Chicago. Steve Irwin Interesting blog! If this is happening to Kewaunee, Point Beach can’t be far behind. This may draw more interest in finding a solution if all three plants were addressed in a packaged regional re-industrialization plan. One solution may be to find a high power consuming industry like electric…

Sierra Club, Shell Oil, Cato, RMI, Exelon and ExxonMobil All Agree – Just Do Without So We Do Not Build Any Disruptive New Capacity

ByRod Adams

…ciency (except for what directly affects their operations). Exelon and the Zion nuclear power plant: While rebuilding it would be cheaper than building a new nuclear plant, running their existing coal plants more is even cheaper, especially since the cost of fuel is passed through to customers. A tragedy of short-sighted thinking. Rich Look at this article – http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/14/coal-miners-say-environmental-rules-killing-job…

Shoreham Chapter 9 – Concluding thoughts; one battle in long war over nuclear energy

ByRod Adams

…there any such facility in existence today? PS: If not Shoreham, could the Zion units be used for such a place? That would save having to wreck all that concrete. Rod Adams @Bob – unfortunately, it is not 6 million, but 6 BILLION that would have to be made up. However, that cost is sunk, so any income from operating a nuclear power exhibition might help. Of course, that would require a staff, etc. It is an interesting idea, but probably quite unwo…

The Left Needs to Reconsider its Automatic Position Against Nuclear Energy

…by foreign countries (the USSR, or Arab countries in the case of the anti-Zionist left) that had a vested interest in selling fossil fuel? Or is some other reason which I’ve overlooked more important? poa “I didn’t call anyone stupid” “I said that was Apple’s opinion of their customers, not mine.” Howsabout we just quote ya, Brian? “The arrogance comes from decades of pandering to customers who not only admit to but also take a certain amount of…

Markey’s Misinterpretation of NRC Non-Concurrence Process Targeted Survey

ByRod Adams

…just grateful that he hasn’t (yet) quoted “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” as an authoritative source. John T Tucker I know, I rarely make it to two or three and then I have my jackass intervention theory for unreasonable discussions. But something about this seems really distant from my concerns when it comes to energy and other matters, and its interesting to see the motivations people have. I think we lump beliefs in with motivations too…
