Engineering Ethical Code – a Good Basis for Technical Decision Making
Sometimes I pine for the days when America’s decision making bodies included more engineers. If that is too far a stretch, perhaps we can at least get back to a situation where there are more people in decision making positions who have been exposed to some of the training associated with building and manufacturing high…
Atomic Show 093 – Time shifted conversation with Adam Curry (The Podfather)
On Atomic Show 093 I produced an answer show to a series of discussions about atomic energy that has been taking place on episodes 753, 754, and 755 of The Daily Source Code (DSC) (Warning, the DSC is not a family oriented show and carries the iTunes “Explicit” tag.) One goal of my efforts with…

Opponents will use a litany of familiar arguments and a variety of known techniques to slow or stop the project. It is also well known that continued operation of existing plants can attract opponents who…
Chicago Buys Meaningless Carbon Credits – Refurbishing Zion Would Be a Better Investment With Real Climate Payoffs
There is an article in the Chicago Tribune titled Chicago’s ‘green’ promise fades: Chicago taxpayers on hook for carbon credits that do little to fight global warming that tells the story of the city purchasing carbon offsets from a plant burning wood waste from the forest products industry. People like Joe Romm are expressing disappointment…
The bike the Natgas horse is riding needs to be renamed to reflect the package of free ride advantages fossil fuels recieve, like “uncosted externalities”, or something more creative than that.
Finrod – I have thought about that. I also thought about asking the artist to give the natural gas contestant a large head start and to put a manure bag on the back of the “clear nuke” horse. One of the reasons for posting is to obtain feedback and suggestions and then go back for another version.
I like the fat NRC jockey.
