Russia's New Year Gift to Nuclear Power - Another Natural Gas Cutoff
Though I often describe Russia as a nation of skilled chess players to my colleagues as I attempt to remind them that Russia's "Great Power" aspirations did not start or end with the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, even good chess players can make short sighted moves. This morning, Russia, after another round of failed negotiations with Ukraine, has once again begun to cut off deliveries...

Happy Nuke Year - looking forward to 2009
I hope some of you have missed having regular updates to Atomic Insights during the past week, but I also hope that you have been able to take some time away from normal routines to think, visit with friends and family and consider future actions in the coming year. For people of many cultural traditions, the time between the winter solstice and the New Year is a time to relax. I have been engaging...

Atomic Show #120 - Commentary about President-elect Obama's Energy Secretary
The Podcast Network has rebuilt the hard drives and data bases that provide access to The Atomic Show and the other fine independent audio shows. I am slowing restoring the show archives to provide access to the library of shows produced since March 2006. Right before the site went down, I finished up a somewhat different kind of production where I commented on clips from Democracy Now! from the December...

December 23, 2003 - a Day That Should be Remembered
Every year, there are reminders of the anniversaries of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Some of the reminders come from those who do not want to forget the technical lessons learned, some come from people who were directly affected, and some come from those who point to those accidents and claim that they are evidence that nuclear power is inherently too risky to consider for future power sources...

Fighting Words in Florida - "Renewable" versus "Clean" Energy
As a life-long lover of words, I enjoyed reading a PalmBeachPost.com article titled State's green-energy future down to one choice: Renewable or clean? . It was a well-written piece that should help people understand just how important the battle over certain words can be. In this specific case, the difference between one word and the other may result in the movement of billions of dollars. In...

Jordan Has Ambitious Nuclear Power Plans
I have been aware that many nations in the Middle East are looking towards nuclear power as a vital part of their future energy mix, but until this morning I was unaware of the scope of the Kingdom of Jordan's plans. According to Taylor Luck's December 22, 2008 article in the Jordan Times titled Aqaba site under consideration for Kingdom’s first nuclear power plant the kingdom is actively working...

I Love Mountains - Inspiring Story of Community Activism From Maytown Kentucky
I grew up in South Florida, a place where the only hills are overpasses. Nearly every summer, we traveled to northeast Georgia or western North Carolina where Dad, a good ol' boy from southern Georgia, shared his love of mountains with all of us. We played in mountain streams, fished for trout, dove off of rafts in the middle of lakes, and hiked until our feet hurt. As I listen to people who talk...

Steven Chu is a Great Choice for Secretary of Energy
I have to admit that I could not have written the blog headline before a few minutes ago. I simply did not know enough about President-elect Obama's choice for Secretary of Energy to make an educated statement. However, with the help of Google and some friends of Atomic Insights, I have now found enough material to make me even more excited about the future course of atomic energy in America. The...

Insisting on Yucca Mountain is a Strategic Blunder
I am one of the biggest nuclear technology fans I know, but I have to express my strong disappointment in the people who are making decisions for the nuclear industry. They are tone deaf when it comes to politics and marketing. We are on the cusp of a tremendous opportunity to take the initiative and frame discussions about our incredible technology in a positive light as a planet saving silver bullet...
