  • A Failed Experiment of the Past?

    The Los Angeles Times ran an editorial on nuclear energy this past weekend. It’s pretty weak tea. Senate Republicans and many moderate Democrats are seeking to lard up prospective climate and energy bills with billions of dollars in loan guarantees and other subsidies for nuclear power, even though it...

  • A Cornucopia of Nuclear Notes

    One of the themes – or is that memes – we’ve been following here is the growing support for nuclear energy among Congressional Democrats. We might be expected to consider nuclear energy a post-partisan issue – that is, one where Republicans and Democrats more-or-less agree on its value generally if not...

  • Amory Lovins vs. Stewart Brand - Part Two (The "Baseload Myth")

    Continuing on Friday’s critique of Amory Lovins’ latest study , our following post delves into discussing if wind and solar are baseload technologies. Funny enough, Lovins’ rebuttal of this myth completely misinterpreted what Stewart Brand said about baseload in his nuclear chapter and apparently ended...

  • The Governors and Energy: Chris Christie

    As opposed to Bob McDonnell above, governor-elect Chris Christie of New Jersey tilts rather away from the national Republican party on energy issues. Might not mean anything: It may just be that he has a genuine desire to move New Jersey to solar energy and will clear away hurdles to make it happen....

  • After the Ball Is Over

    We provided you with some of the nuclear energy highlights from last week’s hearings on the Kerry-Boxer climate change bill. Now comes the finagling that makes politics so engaging for those who like to follow it, so frustrating for everyone else. This story from the Washington Post’s Juliet Eilperin...

  • Utah nuclear follies

    Depleted uranium and a castle in the sky are in the news The Salt Lake City Tribune reported Oct 6 that Utah politicians are up to their usual tricks of thumping the stump about disposal of depleted uranium (DU) at the Energy Solutions site 80 miles west of town.  This is a great tactic for raising...

  • Move Over Waxman-Markey, Here Comes Boxer-Kerry

    Or, The Senate Moves on Climate Change. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) have presented the Senate’s version of the climate change bill that will start off in the Environment and Public Works committee chaired by Boxer. As we’ve seen with the health bill, legislation in the...

  • Iran Cracks Open the Door

    Yesterday, we noted that Libyan President Muammar el-Qaddafi followed President Obama’s speech at the United Nations with a speech that ran about an hour over its quota. We didn’t mention that it drifted in from Cloud Cuckooland with a pit stop in Madville. It did prove the perfect introduction to Iranian...

  • Sen. Lieberman Wants More Nuclear

    Sen. Joe Lieberman [I-Conn.] wants you to know : “I don’t think we’re going to [pass a bill] without bipartisan support,” Lieberman told POLITICO last week. “And without a nuclear title that’s stronger than in the House climate change legislation, we’re not going to be able to get enough votes to pass...
