Continuing the battle against climate skeptics in the nuclear community

ByRod Adams

…ok. As far as I know seniority built up in House does not count in Senate. Markey would have less actual power if promoted. Of course, I could be wrong. Brian Mays Rod – Seniority in the House does not transfer directly to the Senate, but still, it’s much more useful to be 1 of 100 rather than 1 of 435. With Markey‘s extensive four-decade experience in the House and serving on committees, do you really doubt that he’ll quickly be appointed to serv…

Hearing on Jaczko’s leadership at Nuclear Regulatory Commission

ByRod Adams

…er that he learned his definition of that term from Rep. Ed Markey. In the Markey dictionary, the only safe nuclear plant is one that is not producing any commercial electricity in competition with fossil fuel generators or wind mills. Pete51 If the NRC learns of a chilled work environment at any of the power plants it regulates, the management of those plants are subjected to some serious inspection and investigation. It is disappointing that the…

…essman Ed Markey, ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee. Markey joined California Senator Barbara Boxer in sending a letter to the head of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission this week, calling for a federal investigation after uncovering documents that she says suggest Edison and the manufacturer of the plant’s ailing steam generators were aware of design problems before the equipment was installed. Markey quotes from the document…

DOE execs killed respected science program studying radiation health effects. Fired PM who tried to protect science

ByRod Adams

…ackson’s congressional testimony. At the September hearing, Rep. Edward J. Markey, Massachusetts Democrat, asked Ms. Jackson, “How would you compare [the benefits of reducing airborne PM2.5] to the fight against cancer?” Ms. Jackson said, “Yeah, I was briefed not long ago. If we could reduce particulate matter to healthy levels, it would have the same impact as finding a cure for cancer in our country.” Mr. Markey asked her to repeat what she had…

Spent Fuel Pools Protect The Public. Don’t Believe Skeptics

ByRod Adams

…to trace where the pressure came from, my guess is that it involved Boxer, Markey and Sanders, among other nuclear energy critics/fear mongers. Rod Adams @Jaro The scenario that supposedly causes the kind of large scale release that von Hippel & Lyman want us all to worry about is a rapid pool drain that stops just in time so that the water and debris remaining at the bottom of the pool stops all air from flowing past the exposed part of the fuel…

Existing nuclear plants are valuable and worth saving

ByRod Adams

…dest against nuclear energy (e.g., Andy and Mario Cuomo of NY State and Ed Markey of Massachusetts and the Vermont politicians) are Democrat. So if the liberals here really want nuclear power to be non-partisan, then they have to kick these politicians out of their party just as Republicans have to do the same to RINOs, and libertarians to CATO Institute people who fail to understand this important issue. Wayne SW The Kewaunee situation is tragic,…

Thorkil I read: ” because they have been repeatedly told that the participants in the industry cannot be trusted.” But if you study the post http://wp.me/p1RKWc-mu it should be easy to see that Greenpeace can not be trusted.

Barbara Boxer berates NRC commissioners

ByRod Adams

…e. I might add, she is not the only nuclear energy bigot in Congress; e.g. Markey and Reid. Rick Armknecht Just remember to always call her “Senator” Boxer — she worked so hard to get that title. Gareth Fairclough “I may be just a blogger now…” Senator Adams? I could get behind that! EL Modern analysis shows that used nuclear fuel in approved storage racks will not overheat even if the spent fuel pool is completely empty as long as none of the fu…

NRC FY2011 Budget Request is $13.3 Million LESS Than The 2010 Budget Appropriation

ByRod Adams

…n Obama. The man has an inside track to the antis – being a researcher for Markey, or something like that – and being the only remaining Democrat on the Commission when the existing Chair’s term expires – he logically, summarily (and misguidedly) gets automatically promoted to Chair by the Obama Administration, solely because he’s a Democratic appointee (though this is devastating to the industry, it is customarily the way business is done – the C…

Proud – but often frustrated – nuclear professional

ByRod Adams

…ts for conventional fossil fuels. One of the reasons I am so upset with Ed Markey et al. with their obstructionist tactics for LNG exports is that they are stealing from everyone else. Natural gas if freely exported would aid our allies and create a domestic reason to use nuclear power so we can sell more gas over seas. This is why specifics are so important, and why credibility is important and the code of ethics in action and debate. If we aband…

Adam Curry Exposes Robert Alvarez’s Fukushima Spent Fuel Pool Fable on No Agenda

ByRod Adams

…Lovins Lochbaum Busby van Leeuwen (Jan Willem Storm) Bradford Jaczko Reid Markey Sanders James Greenidge Regrettably, to make up for their relatively small numbers, they’re virtually all highly regarded and sought after “consultant” darlings of a juggernaut national/international/local media, which ruefully gives them far more public visibility and credence than all the members of the Nuclear Carnival combined, and provides their FUD wide stages…

Audit the NRC

ByRod Adams

…ley Jr. head up the Secret Service. Jaczko is a Political hack from the Ed Markey camp. Why isn’t it obvious to *everyone* that he is commissioned to stymie the development of new high power density energy systems? Brian Mays Jaczko has friends in high places. If you are going to try to get some accountability out of him, then you had better have some heavy hitters of your own making the demands. Personally, I don’t think that anything can be done…
