re: Do We Need a Smart Grid, A Strong Grid, Or Less Grid?

charlesj160@yahoo.com — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 23:00:08 GMT

I agree. I read an article in a utility trade publication back in the 1960’s or very early 1970’s that analyzed the vulnerabilities of centralized systems, which included electricity, water, sanitation, communication, food distribution, communication etc. The basic conclusion was that too much centralization creates vulnerability to huge disasters instead of small ones. Terrorism was mentioned (yes – way back then) – but also natural disasters, and even as we’ve seen recently – financial (too big to fail) disasters.

Nuclear Street was there too! We enjoyed meeting many of you!

re: Miners Who Blow Up Mountains are Mad at Senator Alexander. Wonder if His 100 Nuclear Plants in 20 Years Goal is Part of the Reason?

Interesting angle; Alexander claims he wants to preserve the landscape and keep the junk out of the water systems. Maybe he does have an ulterior motive.

At any rate, it does sound like a heinous practice for the environment. I'm a native Tennessean, so I guess I need to find something in WV to boycot; the problem is that I'm not sure what that would be......any suggestions?

re: Could Zion Nuclear Power Station Be the Next Brown's Ferry?

To tear down zion station would be a sin to the industry and to the people of zion.

OK folks, it's out there and climbing up Google. But who really looks for something like this? I'd like to see interested parties start some viral emails, but that's up to them.

Thanks for posting, Nuclear Street!!

re: Dot Earth Wonders if Increased Solar Investments Would be Beneficial

Bob Bromm — Mon, 25 May 2009 18:19:58 GMT

Check out British Petroleum's (BP) take on solar. They've pulled out of the solar market because they don't see it ever being profitable without a major technological breakthrough.

I believe the same can be said about wind. Without massive government subsidies and unfavorable purchase agreements forced upon the electric utilities, no one would be investing in wind either.

The government needs to fund basic research, that's their proper position, not skew the economics of the free market. Remember what CA state did when they decided to meddle in the electric utility industry: PG&E declared bankruptcy, So Cal Edison was on the brink of bankruptcy, and San Diego Gas & Electric exempted itself from the new rules by selling off all of its generating capacity then tripled their rates to consumers to cover the high price of electricity they had to buy.

All the new wind turbines that are being built around the country will be rusting, disabled relics in 15 to 20 years because the tax incentives only cover the cost of building new, not maintaining old ones. The revenue from the sale of the electricity will be less than the cost of repairing/replacing them, so they will be abandoned. Look at San Gorgonio Pass in So Cal. It's a windmill graveyard now.

re: "Wall Street Does Not Like Nuclear Power" - That's Great, Because I Do Not Like Wall Street!

Building Nuclear Power Plants may just be one of the few ways to stabilize the economy and enhance the infrastructure, while reducing our national carbon footprint in the upcoming decades!

re: Comparing the Scale of Used Nuclear Fuel to Capturing Coal Emissions

This site tells that the clean coal attempts to put the challenge of storing CO2 from coal fired power plants into the same bin as the challenge of storing used nuclear fuel. <a href="www.lincenergy.us/">Linc Energy</a>

CNBC will be airing “The Nuclear Option” Tuesday October 14th at 9p ET. Melissa Francis goes inside the nuclear energy debate with a provacative look at the facts and fears behind this controversial energy source. See why some are even arguing for a nuclear power plant in their own backyards. More information is coming soon at http://originals.cnbc.com.

Please let me know if you would like any additional information.

Thanks,

re: Should we be concerned about guards sleeping in a "ready room"

Nworker — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:24:41 GMT

Of course not. This was really blown out of proportion.

Unfortunately, it is what is perceived by the public is the problem.; much like nuclear energy in general.
