…listening to the advice of Holdren. This could easily just be t he work of Holdren misleading Obama. I mention this, not because I want to defend Obama, but because if that is the case, there is some hope, that if someone with the money and power to get some face time with Obama (cough, NEI, cough), perhaps they could explain exactly how harmful Holdren‘s advice has been to the nuclear industry that Obama claims to favor. EL He wanted to be renomi…
…Sour grapes. The EBR-II passed the tests for safety. David B. Benson John Holdren was one of Clinton’s science advisors https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Holdren and strongly advised killing the IFR deployment test on proliferation grounds. He should have known that this was impossible. See “Plentiful Energy” by Till & Chang for a technical description of the EBR-II but not the politics. Engineer-Poet Hazel O’Leary was a big part of this. Davi…
…wable (unreliable) only grid actually work. Jeff Walther Don’t forget John Holdren. I suspect that he is directly or indirectly responsible for all of the backwards movement we’ve seen in this administration. Obama just doesn’t strike me as a person who actually has even an incorrect understanding of the technical details. Is suspect he’s letting Holdren suggest these horrible nominees and appointees. poa “It is a shame Palestinian women and child…

Holdren is advisor to President Barack Obama for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President George Carty I think the T needs to move downstairs 🙂 donb Rod Adams wrote: I’m going to go out on a limb – I oppose energy efficiency programs that are marketed as a source of new energy.

…ly ignoant on the topic and relies on his advisors for actual policy. With Holdren as his “Science” advisor, we get positive speechifying and negative action. He probably even believes that Holdren‘s advice is pro-nuclear. Bonds 25 Technically, the reactors that experienced core damage at Fukushima were Boiling Water Reactors, not Pressurized Water Reactors. This detail overall has zero to do with your comment……which I totally agree with. It’s…
…anti-nuclear and Malthusian. The current Presidential Science Advisor John Holdren is a prominent case in point. I have posted this link previously, but I’m doing it again because I think it is an effective counter to the NYAS/Greenpeace report, written by a member and past chair of UNSCEAR, Zbigniew Jaworowski: “Observations on Chernobyl After 25 Years of Radiophobia”: http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/Articles_2010/Summer_2010/Observations_C…
…d their position in this administration, e.g., Paul R. Ehrlich and John P. Holdren. Engineer-Poet I remain suspicious that the people at the very top of environmental organizations know exactly where their money comes from and have been informed – in many subtle and no so subtle ways – that the spigot will slam shut if they change their tune about nuclear energy. That is exactly what happened to the Sierra Club on the issue of immigration; the ope…

What a shame. Luca Bertagno…
…he said, or “climate disruption” as Obama’s chief scientific advisor John Holdren prefers to say. One thing I find very convincing is something like the Joint Science Academies statement handed this year to each head of state attending the G8. Its only two pages long. http://www.nationalacademies.org/includes/G8+5energy-climate09.pdf Take a look at the signatures. These are: National Academy of Sciences, United States of America Chinese Academy o…
