…MeGee. It also includes the following perceptive quote that qualifies as a smoking gun. Finally, in terms of current political sentiment, the yellowcake cartel may provoke more congressional interest in questions of who controls energy resources — the issue of the oil industry’s major acquisitions in uranium and coal and other fuel sources. The cartel, by no stretch of the facts, could be blamed on Big Oil, but some in the industry fear that Gulf’…
Several weeks ago, I published a copy of an advertisement labeled as a “smoking gun” that was a direct attack on nuclear energy paid for by the Oil Heat Institute of Long Island. Today, one of the people I follow on Twitter shared a link to a blog post featuring an advertisement that might surprise people in a different way – it is a large layout advertisement providing the results of an Exxon sponsored solar energy competition. Here are some int…
…e it with the world. Last night, just before going to bed, I came across a smoking gun advertisement that helped me find a little more evidence that there is a long standing alliance that seems to be successfully implementing what I personally consider to be a dangerous strategy. They are convincing energy decision makers in many of the largest energy markets that the earth is so awash in easy methane that it would be a waste of time and money to…
…was lacking a direct connection between people like John Holdren and fossil fuel interests. My response is to suggest that people who are interested in learning more should search Atomic Insights for “smoking gun” and search the web for “Holdren Rockefeller”. People who are convinced that I am merely being conspiratorial can continue believing whatever they want to believe….
…I have pointed out on a number of occasions (do a search of this blog for “smoking gun”) there are strong economic reasons why the coal industry and its supporters will continue fighting nuclear power – its success reduces the demand for their product and increases the possibility that the environmental standards associated with burning coal will be tightened. Pay careful attention to quotes like the following and try to read between the lines. Dr…
…y the way that the experienced, retired GE executive is responding to the “smoking gun” type stories I have shared with him. End Update. I was introduced to a blog today called Power for USA as a result of the following tweet: Why Wind Energy is a Bad Idea http://t.co/kqX1KE05ZA via @wordpressdotcom Such a bad bad bad idea #WarOnWind #ScottishUnreliables — S.W.A.T (@no2wind) August 16, 2014 The blog about wind was intriguing as were several of the…
…cacy: Tell It to the Wind. Mark Flanagan found a post that qualifies as a “smoking gun” titled Think again before going nuclear that was published on October 29 by High Country News. Russ Doty wrote the opinion piece that included such unoriginal misinformation as “A 2006 Union of Concerned Scientists’ study found that U.S. nuclear reactors have experienced 51 shutdowns, each lasting more than a year. Poor management and ineffective regulatory ove…
…hen I saw the title, I thought it might be a great opportunity for my next Smoking Gun comment where I showcase anti-nuclear commentary from fossil fuel supporters. Fortunately, I might have been wrong. Here is what Senator Enzi has to say about how energy resources affect his state and the nation: There’s no fuel like an old fuel, so coal will remain the dominant energy source for the United States for the foreseeable future, U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi…
…ces with lower emissions. As I have shown on Atomic Insights with certain “smoking gun” entries, the Australian coal industry knows just how threatening uranium fission is to its future prosperity. Heck, they even pay to run advertisements with that explicitly stated in the text of the ad! The ad campaign run by the coal industry succeeded in its goals. The recommended Labor government got elected. It has paid its debt to the coal industry with it…
…antinuclear bias with the following statement that nearly qualifies as a ‘smoking gun’: If China is able to use natural gas, they may not build as many Soviet-style nuclear reactors. The last time I checked on China’s world leading nuclear program, it did not include any “Soviet-style” nuclear reactors. It does include a large number of US, French, German and indigenously designed reactors that build on what Chinese engineers have learned by bein…
…torial contributors happy. A reader suggested this just might qualify as a smoking gun, but I need to do some campaign contribution research in order to apply that designation. Update: (Posted May 28, 2010 at 3:45 am) For information about the size of the Oklahoma oil and gas industry, visit Oklahoma Oil and Gas Facts with information compiled by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. One key insight found there is that Oklahoma supplied about 7% of…
…t the president’s plan. It contains wording that almost qualifies it as a “smoking gun” that directly ties opposition to nuclear power to being an oil, coal or gas producer. Bush calls for boosting ‘clean’ nuclear energy staff writer for the Gulf Times (Qatar) Bush calls for expanded use of nuclear power in U.S., globally – staff writer for the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) This one is also interesting, with a lead that clearly states why this policy…
