• 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...

  Dan Yurman at Idaho Samizdat reprints an excellent editorial from Sunday’s Idaho Falls Post Register. The long and short of it is that it’s silly to pit one company against another when we’re talking about loan guarantees for future enrichment plants in the US… we need as many as we can get: There are several [...] Read More...
