Peabody Presentation That Aggressively Markets The Best Features of Coal

ByRod Adams

…to the Wrong Question. The BRC has its issues (especially its inclusion of John Rowe) but it is at least questioning something that deserves to be questioned. Rod Adams @Brian – you are right that Peabody Coal – and a whole bunch of other fossil fuel companies – love the idea of DOE spending money on research that does not actually produce any competitive energy. They invest their money carefully into the political process, buying access and influ…

From the Utah Perspective, Destroying the Zion Nuclear Station is a Big Business Win

ByRod Adams

…r the short term, but be very economical over the long term. In any event, John Rowe made it clear that he’s only interested in the next ten year timeframe, with respect to that issue.

ByRod Adams

…n has Malarkey said something that wasn’t fishy? Daniel Good catch Rod … John Englert At least he’s consistent.

Above board competition in energy markets finally emerging. API Ohio pushing for nuclear shutdowns

ByRod Adams
