Personal aside – remember Movember & donate generously

ByRod Adams November 8, 2012July 4, 2020

Please remember that this is the month of Movember, a time to help raise funds for organizations that are fighting health issues that are not often discussed – prostate and testicular cancer. Please honor the men in your life. If you have ever wondered how you can say thank you for the information and value that you receive as an Atomic Insights community member, one answer is that you can support a cause that’s important to me by visiting my Movember page and making a small gift.

Thank you in advance for you generosity.

Why is Climate Progress so negative about Senator Alexander's push for 100 emission free nuclear power plants?

ByRod Adams December 4, 2010July 10, 2020

Climate Progress published a post on December 3, 2010 titled Sen. Lamar Alexander plans to nuke his own agenda that is sharply critical of Senator Alexander’s idea to build 100 new nuclear power plants. The post minimizes the potential benefits of high tech job creation, low cost clean energy, and productive new infrastructure that will…

Cheerleading might be enough to start rapid nuclear build in UK

ByRod Adams March 8, 2008July 21, 2020

I like the United Kingdom’s new approach to solving its future energy demand problem. It has done the studies, analyzed the options and determined that nuclear fission can play an increasing role in providing clean, reliable, indigenous, affordable, and sustainable electricity. It is an interesting thought exercise to compare its current state and its prospects…
