• California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s complete speech in Copenhagen

  So history tells us that movements began with the people, not with government and then, when they became powerful enough, government responds…So there’s a lesson in this for our cause…. Government clearly has a major role, there are no two ways about that. But I also believe in the power of the iconoclast and the entrepreneur...

• Copenhagen, De-carbonization and Nuclear Power

  From Dan Yurman’s blog, he asks some good questions about Copenhagen, climate change issues, and nuclear power: “If you want to pursue a strategy of decarbonization, and you don’t want to sacrifice economic development goals, then the nations of the world have only one form of electricity generation for base load demand to use to make [...] Read More...

• Copenhagen and Climate Change: Chart of the Day

  Germany’s Der Spiegel has a chart on their website that we think best illustrates the key role nuclear energy has to play in any climate change plan. Not only is nuclear energy baseload and reliable, but it’s also much, much less expensive: Using AREVA’s own EPR as a baseline for the cost of nuclear energy, it’s [...] Read More...
