Steve Kirsch on Huffington Post – Climate Bill Ignores Biggest Clean Energy Source

ByRod Adams

Steve Kirsch is a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has decided to dedicate his life to sharing what he has learned through independent research about important topics – including how to produce useful energy in the most economical and environmentally friendly way. I had the opportunity to talk with Steve several months ago for The Atomic Show #118.

He has just published a lengthy article on the Huffington Post titled Climate Bill Ignores Our Biggest Clean Energy Source that focuses on the potential of the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) but that also describes how there are a number of advantages shared by all fission plants when compared to any fossil fuel combustion plant and any conventional renewable energy source.

I highly recommend that you go to that article and participate in the discussion. Steve is there and actively responding to comments with some additional assistance from people like Tom Blees, the author of Prescription for the Planet and Charles Barton from Energy from Thorium and Nuclear Green. You might also find a few responses there from me, but they have not yet been approved.

Losers in a high energy cost economy

Yesterday I mentioned the high cost of the competitors for atomic energy in America. The fact that energy is far more expensive now than it was just two or three years ago is not really news – radio, television and newspaper articles that talk about gasoline prices are published with great regularity. Gasoline prices are…
