Why is natural gas such a popular answer to energy challenges?

ByRod Adams

…hairman Jaczko, few of them complimentary. Brian Mays You mean Congressman Markey, not Senator Kerry. George Carty Yes Congressmen Ed Markey, aka “Mr LNG”. Bob Connor By contrast, they don’t have nuclear plants in their basements and in fact, many have never been to a nuclear plant. One fears what one does not know. This is why I recommended the idea of a nuclear power museum which would be a decommissioned nuclear plant but instead of wrecking it…

Waste Confidence – A Classic Case of Failed Leadership (Part 2 of 2)

ByGuest Author

…tical patron, the man who gave him his start in Washington politics, is Ed Markey. That patron has been working hard for 35 years to shut down as much of the industry as he possibly could. There are times when I wonder if Jaczko did not choose to study nuclear physics just so that he could be groomed for just such a task. One of my favorite George Carlin bits was when he talked about how the term “conspiracy theorist” was used as a way to discredi…

Atomic Energy Position – Democratic Party 1956

…POA, I hope you were being sarcastic. If not, then you’re a troll. Boxer, Markey, Heinrich, Udall (NM), to name a few that I’ve followed for years. Rod has posted articles about Markey. PissedOffAmerican “POA, I hope you were being sarcastic. If not, then you’re a troll” When are some of your going to drop this asinine BS? Not everbody that refuses to participate in your group think is a “troll”. There seem to be a number of you here that don’t m…

Look out for “market ingenuity” from stressed LNG project developers

ByRod Adams

…ally during the winter and especially into the terminal located in Senator Markey‘s former congressional district. For the winter of 2014-2015, LNG imports were up 24% over the previous winter. http://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/weekly/ Rod Adams @John Chatelle Since investment in “renewables” is a costly misdirection, I find that far more insidious than the flat statement that carbon dumping into the atmosphere is harmless. Renewables is the bigger li…

Mr. President – Ike would recommend the nuclear option for energy policy

ByRod Adams

…atives. Engineer-Poet Would that he but could Owes too much to too many Ed Markey objects. Rod Adams Politicians who are independently wealthy and not eligible to run again should be able to make independent decisions. Besides, the President has some favors to repay for people besides Markey and Reid. People who would benefit from my suggested path vastly outnumber those who who would object. Frank Jablonski Excellent, Rod. Maybe we should do a pe…

Jaczko hearings a depressing example of partisan power politics

ByRod Adams

…). The idea is to change their minds, not change their spokespersons, like Markey, Boxer, etc. Until we get a sea-change shift in thinking about energy, we can yell and scream at this or that party at will, it will mean nothing. We saw that with Bush who did the minimal for nuclear (and actually Obama has spoken out in favor of it far more than Bush ever did). If Ron Paul were president, there would never be any nuclear energy. Period. There would…

Generation mPower – Modular Reactor Team That Is Aiming For Turn-Key Units With Predictable Schedules And Costs

ByRod Adams

…nvince their very vocal and influential anti-nuke brethren like Waxman and Markey, there will be even more to celebrate — and I would do so without hesitation. If Waxman and Markey were really serious about their conviction on climate change they would include nuclear power plants in the “Renewable Energy Standard” or any other policy aimed at reducing our use of coal or natural gas for electricity generation and drop all pretense of promoting we…

Macfarlane is not qualified to be Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

ByRod Adams

…le/2012/05/25/utilities-entergy-pilgrim-renewal-idUSL1E8GP8GC20120525 ) Ed Markey seems to have an awful lot of ammunition. Reactors need to be run cleanly and efficiently at top capacity. Anyone that sides with industry in countering any part of that and allows safety to be subverted in favor of profits is worse than a misinformation spewing anti nuke IMHO. Joel Riddle Jack, I think the reasoning for the Japanese going to more advanced designs wi…

Effective government involvement essential for many innovations

ByRod Adams

…water for electric generation? Joel Riddle Just makes you want to give Ed Markey a big ‘ole hug, doesn’t it. Rod Adams @E-P There was not much conceptual difference between the RBMK and the N-reactor at Hanford. The one at Chernobyl was under the control of fairly inexperienced operators supervised by an aggressive “git her done” electrical engineer. (Alternatively, I think there is a case to be made that he might have known more than he let on a…

Open letter to advisory bodies about LNT consequences – revised

ByRod Adams

…, I let the reputations of Democrats such as Barbara Boxer, Andy Cuomo, Ed Markey, Henry Waxman (whose boy Jeff Baran is now in the NRC), etc speak for themselves. Are all Dems anti-nukes? Nope, but a majority are. Are all Repubs pro-nukes? Nope, but a majority are. Nevertheless, I defer to the Psalmist David – put not thy trust in the princes of this world. PS, kudos to Rod Adams for his pro-nuke work even though I oppose his politics. You can di…

Do Natural Gas Interests Create Or Amplify Bad News About Nuclear Energy? Will They Continue To Push?

ByRod Adams

…produce without fuel interruptions is on the LNG terminal site in Senator Markey‘s former congressional district. CCGTs can be provided with “dual fuel” capability that allows them to burn distillate fuel oil (kerosene or diesel fuel) when gas supplies are interrupted. This is a much lower cost solution, especially in regions where the RTO I’m looking at you, New England – subsidizes the cost of installing tanks and stockpiling reserve fuel as pa…
