How Hot is Cold Fusion?

…ng on their experiments and experiences of heat release “anomalies” have begun to provide a far more nuanced picture of the dynamics and the parametric guideposts that will eventually enable those studying them to narrow in on the controlling aspects. According to Dr. Florian Metzler of MIT, the revelation of data points around these phenomena closely mirrors the progression of reporting around anomalies for other deeply complex physical effects,…

Dozens express strong support for Calvert Cliffs III; about 4-5 spoke in opposition

…The hearing officer listened carefully to the long talk and then asked Mr. Gunter if all that meant that he supported the commission’s decision from more than a decade ago to deregulate power prices and put the cost risk onto the company constructing the plant.

…eaders of the anti-nuclear movement,’ which got our attention,” said Linda Gunter of Beyond Nuclear who has authored several documents examining the claims made in the film and in its publicity. “But when we looked at who was actually featured, we found that virtually all roads led to The Breakthrough Institute whose personnel appear prominently in the film and none of whom ever ‘led’ the anti-nuclear movement.” Aside The way I finally recognized…

Salvo Against Coal From 1972 – Just Before The First Gathering of the Critical Mass Energy Project

…lection of smoking gun memorabilia. Normally, I tag posts with the smoking gun label when they provide evidence that a fossil fuel related entity has taken a shot at nuclear energy. In this case, the smoking gun shows that there was a time when the nuclear energy developers were taking shots at fossil fuel with some real success. I have often been accused of being a conspiracy theorist when I point to the fact that the people with the greatest mea…

Presently, coal meets 52% of our electricity needs, nuclear 21%, natural gas 21%…
