New York Times says positive things about new nuclear energy

ByRod Adams

…rotectionary and keep our domestic NG here all here at home? Seems that Ed Markey and Ron Wyden are both against those (and also generally anti-nuclear). Once the Henry Hub price gets consistently up to $6-8/MBtu, I doubt LNG export would make much economic sense for Cheniere, etc. anyway. Jeff Walther I’ve found that the best way to shut up the ignoramuses like McMahon is to write something like this: ========================== Yeah, wind is so g…

B&W mPower cover story about lack of interest is bogus

ByRod Adams

…n occasion, tried to produce some posts with details and names. Search for Markey, Boxer, Alexander, Carper. There are also a couple of “politics” categories in the archives. poa Well…… then. How are the right vs left conclusions drawn here? I have seen a number of comments critical of the left since I have been posting here. Your regular participant “Paul” comes to mind, as do a couple of other participants. They have done this expensive and…

Clean Skies News – Discussion of Senate Committee Hearing on Small, Modular Reactors

ByRod Adams

…t I’m not swayable about certain things: for instance, I wouldn’t vote for Markey, were he my CongressCritter, just because of his rabid fanaticism in opposition to nuclear power. That much is certain. That also means I’ll work within my political corner to educate and encourage Democrats and liberals to recognize the virtues of nuclear energy. The Democratic Party is by far the best match for me, as I support public support for and development of…

Bipartisan support for advanced nuclear energy development

ByRod Adams

…ed important. I see that anti-nuclear zealot (and natural gas monger) Sen. Markey‘s amendment to it passed handily. I could not access what this was. Probably not good. Gmax137 Regarding your PS, Rod, congratulations! John ONeill Congratulations, Rod! More power to your keyboard! Engineer-Poet Color me disappointed in Carol Browner.  The facts behind her epiphany were so obvious, I’ve been telling anyone who’d listen for nigh unto 4 decades.  Furt…

Natural gas is only cheap if you don’t need it very much

ByRod Adams

…a74411a06061e622b6731e/NH–Cold-Snap-Power#.UuGhXsJq_Dw.facebook Due to Ed Markey‘s record of anti-nuclear “politician-ing”, I make a motion that he no longer be allowed to fly now that jet fuel is a fuel to power electricity generation in New England (granted, I understand that electricity supplies could be tight with this weather even with several more Nuclear Power Plants operating in New England). Also Rod, it is January 23rd, not 22nd. Rod Ad…

Wade Allison at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan

ByRod Adams

…..” Written like a true leftist when today it is the left – Andy Cuomo, Ed Markey, Barbara Boxer, Bernie Sanders, et alias – who oppose nuclear power. BTW, I work for a living in nuclear energy and do not begrudge my corporate employer from earning a profit. Jerry I have a conspiracy theory about Japan. I don’t believe it was independent politicians, majority opinion, or coincidence that explains Japan. Before Fukushima, Japan was the most high-te…

Fukushima media visit – USA Today slants positive news into source of worry

ByRod Adams

…hange and clever anti-nuclear allied legislators like Representative Edwin Markey quickly act to harness the fear to push NRC to raise to still more unbelievable levels of obstruction the barriers to building new nuclear plants through excessive nuclear regulation. End result: nuclear regulation is ratcheted up -> cost of new nuclear increases -> nuclear gets priced out of contention with other demonstrably less safe forms of energy generation and…

Putting excitement back into nuclear technology development

ByRod Adams

…oxer, Henry Waxman, Andy Cuomo, his father Mario who shutdown Shoreham, Ed Markey, RFK Jr., Bernie Sanders (oh, I forgot – he is a socialist), and all the rest emasculate the nuclear power industry. Democrats did that, not Republicans (and yes, I hold Republican hypocrisy in contempt as well). . True conservatives want a free market, not nanny govt socialism. Level the regulatory playing field, stop funding any source of energy (e.g., wind and sol…

Natural Gas Marketing Messages in Key Washington DC Locations

ByRod Adams

…gas (especially hydraulic fracturing). It even specifically quoted Rep Ed Markey who is no friend of nuclear. I also second Jim’s assessment. There are no large specifically nuclear companies to trumpet nuclear’s advantages. Jason Ribeiro A big difference between gas and nuclear advertising it seems are the origins of the ads. NEI for example is a group which represents a wide number of companies in nuclear, whereas these gas ads seem to be comin…

The Left Needs to Reconsider its Automatic Position Against Nuclear Energy

ByGuest Author

…e would probably still be making electricity. Consider the positions of Ed Markey, and socialist Bernie Sanders and compare that to Lamar Alexander (Harry Reid and Obama got Yucca Mt. shutdown). Sure, it’s more complicated than this but these are the most visible miscreants and scofflaws. In addition, I share with Ioannes a repugnance of their leftist philosophy particularly Obama’s overseeing the diminution of our great country. As an aside, I ap…

Are major “environmental” groups paid to help oil and gas interests make more money?

ByRod Adams

…arkets to work and get rid of obstacles to progress named Jaczko, Reid and Markey. (among others) Brian Mays Rod – Let’s put some numbers on those concerns. Currently, we’ve added, say, 40% to preindustrial CO2 levels. I don’t think many people dispute this. This is if you assume that all of this increase is due to man’s influence rather than natural variations. Now, we know that man-made sources result in about 15% of “natural” background radiati…

James Hansen explains climate risk and proposed carbon fee – dividend tool

ByRod Adams

…into place in the US, I fully expect members of Congress such as Kucinich, Markey and Reid will also demand a nuclear fuel tax be put on the nuclear power industry. This is what was done in Germany. The environmentalists were afraid that nuclear might be kept for baseload generation, so they successfully got a tax put on fissile fuels. So what is happening now in Germany? Twenty-three new coal-fired power plants are being built. http://www.dw.de/d…
