To keeping on nuc-ing...or not

That is the question. And the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will next year decide whether to keep the Indian Point nuclear generating plant online for another twenty-five years. This time the arguments over Indian Point have a strong economic content. New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation says...

Nuc news is not good news

There is some hot news about the European nuclear industry. It could prove to be radioactive for the proponents of more nuclear-powered generating plants. From France--capital of nuc power--comes word that maybe all's not right with the "disposal" of long-lived nuclear waste. This makes the little coal...

Nuclear renaissance has sprung a leak, or several leaks

Nuclear renaissance has sprung a leak, or several leaksWe certainly do know what to do with the waste.The waste from fission reactors can be reprocessed to recover unused fuel, while the rest can be condensed and stored. We have a waste repository waiting in Nevada (you know, the place...

Alternative energy? BIG investment, as we've been predicting. Teensy compared to Big Oil

Four major components of the alternative energy industry are expanding rapidly. They continue to garner ever more investment. A new market study shows major year-to-year investment growth for biofuels, wind power, solar photovoltaics, and fuel cells. A study by Clean Edge shows the sector's investment cachet and...

Money, Politics and Energy: Menage That Screws the American Consumer

I don't think anybody is naive enough these days to think that the future of green tech or alternative energy is based on fair competition in some imaginery free marketplace. Don't we all know that economic competition in America, and elsewhere, is heavily weighted in favor of those with...

Oil jumps the couch, can coal be far behind?

$102 per barrel, does anybody bid one-oh-three? Do I hear one-oh-five? Not yet perhaps, but soon enough. Now the excuse for record oil prices: investors are buying oil as a hedge against inflation in the American economy. And some instability in Nigeria. Back in the old...

Nuclear waste, cheaper than Iraq, more expensive than a new laptop

Seems you and I and all the American taxpayers are paying big-time for nuclear waste. Now I realize the costs are paltry compared to occupying countries in Asia, the costs of nuclear waste storage running only into tens of billions, not trillions. But it is irksome to this...

Greencollar: such a clever phrase...but there will be jobs

I shouldn't quibble, I guess. Some of the wannabe White House CEO-candidates are now talking about investing in greencollar jobs. That would presumably be money spent on things besides more oil wells in Alaska or coal plants in Missouri. It might mean investment in clean technologies, insulating old...

No nuces is good nucs? Blogosphere begs to differ with this blogger, as usual

My recent blog on the drought possibly shutting down some American nuclear power plants raised some comment. All of it negative about this idiot blogger. I've now been labelled an "ecosocialist." Was that because I mentioned Chernobyl? NO, that mess happened under a faux-socialist regime so maybe...

When did terrorism become a green tech issue? Just now...

Seems there are more than just environmental issues with building new nuclear plants. There are questions about the ability to protect them from terrorist attacks. For the record, there's been no known terrorist incident at any nuclear plant anywhere in the world...so far. Events at Three Mile Island...

Deals on climate change face good old American girdlock
