Nuclear Fission Energy – Best of the Above


Nuclear Fission Energy – Best of the Above

“All of the above” is a lazy, incorrect choice when it comes to energy. It is impossible to overemphasize how important that choice is for the future prosperity and sustainability of human technological society. Can we struggle forward without nuclear? Sure, but how long can we last and why would we want to try?

U.S.NRC Blog Update: Spending a Saturday Afternoon at the NRC Listening to All Sides

Spending a Saturday Afternoon at the NRC Listening to All Sides

On a beautiful fall afternoon, when many Americans were focused on college football, viewing the changing leaves (or raking them), or perhaps chasing about on suburban errands, two members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission spent part of Saturday afternoon meeting with leaders of groups opposed to nuclear power who also have complaints about the NRC.
Chairman Allison Macfarland and Commissioner William Magwood met with the half-dozen individuals in the room at NRC headquarters usually reserved for business meetings of the five-member commission. Macfarlane, in comments opening the hour-long session, told the visitors the NRC values hearing from all points of view.
"I'm really glad to get the opportunity to chat and I look forward to hearing from all of you," Macfarlane said at the outset of the 75-minute session. And after the cordial discussion she added, "I do want us to have a partnership relationship, not an adversary relationship." She added that as a former academic she likes to hear all sides of an issue and "the public has legitimate concerns and technical knowledge."
Magwood, who noted he has met with a number of interest groups on his visits to plants regulated by the NRC and helped set in motion improvements in the way the agency communicates with Tribal governments, said he too valued the meeting. "We like these dialogues because they give us a different perspective," he said. He also noted, as did Macfarlane, that NRC employees "really do care about the health and safety of the American people."
Gene Stone, of the San Clemente, Calif.-based group Residents Organized for a Save Environment, who worked with the chairman's office to arrange the meeting, said, "We are hoping that you will tighten the ship and through your collegial interactions work together for safety and not just the licensee."
Topics raised by the vistors ranged from reactor-specific issues to the length of time it takes to get safety issues resolved, real time radiation monitoring, Agreement State issues, the National Environmental Protection Act, disposal of uranium mining products, and on-site waste storage. Plants mentioned in the discussion included San Onofre in California, Davis-Besse in Ohio, Palisades in Michigan, Zion in Illinois, Millstone in Connecticut, Fort Calhoun in Nebraska, and a nuclear fuel plant in Tennesse. Macfarlane was presented with two petitions with in excess of 68,000 signatures -- 24,000-plus from California -- seeking the closure of the San Onofre plant near San Clemente.
Others at the meeting included David Kraft of the Nuclear Energy Information Service in Chicago; Linda Cataldo Modica of the Sierra Club in Jonesboro, Tenn.; Josh Nelson of Credo in Washington, D.C.; Michael Mariotte of the Nuclear Information Resource Service in Takoma Park, Md.; and Nancy Burton of the Connecticut Coalition against Millstone of Redding Ridge, Conn.
The NRC is a 4,000-person strong independent agency that regulates civilian uses of nuclear materials to protect people and the environment. Issues handled by the NRC range from safety improvements after the Fukushima accident to day-to-day oversight of reactor safety, and overseeing the safe use of nuclear materials in medicine and industrial settings.

Weekend reading from Editor or OilPrice.com

Greetings from London.

An interesting week for energy and geopolitical news as the row over the Senkaku Islands between China and Japan has escalated to a new, troubling level. There are also developments in Syria and Libya which all energy investors should be aware of. These are covered in great depth in the interviews and articles linked below:

- Can Syria's Rebels Overthrow Assad? An Interview with Jellyfish Operations
- Qatar: Rich and Dangerous
- Libya - Doomed from Day One

This week’s report takes a look at Starbucks, which shows signs of rebounding and whose energy efficiency efforts stand out as an attractive, sustainable investment in the longer term.

But before we get onto the investment report – here is what happened this week in the energy world:

This week was a mysterious one for oil prices, which took a very sudden dive on Monday, and continued on a downward spiral over the next two days, rebounding a bit on Thursday and Friday after the largest decline in three months.

Prices were driven by a number of factors, though the reasons behind Monday’s sudden drop remain elusive, while the drop in prices on Tuesday and Wednesday were largely guided by speculation over Eurozone economic instability, bad news from FedEx and announcements coming out of Saudi Arabia that OPEC would continue to maintain high production levels, even as US supplies remained unusually high.

A rebound in oil prices on Thursday and Friday was triggered primarily by the US jobs market. On Thursday, a Federal Reserve policymaker proposed keeping interest rates low until unemployment declines sharply, otherwise the risk of inflation is too high. The rebound also reflected speculation over Spain’s announcement that it would unveil a new economic reform plan next week.

In other fossil fuels news, analysts predict a renewed energy boom thanks to a rejuvenation of oil production in the US Gulf of Mexico, which could see a 28% increase in oil flow by 2022 to 1.8 million barrels per day. According to industry analysts, we are now about to see a major come-back after the disaster of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

On the policy front, the US House of Representatives is set to render a final vote on coal today, after a debate session yesterday. GOP legislation is hoping to scrap federal greenhouse gas rules and reverse what they call the Obama administration’s “war on coal” for its potential to harm the economy.

That’s it for the news this week.

I hope you enjoy the report below and have a great weekend.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Nuclear Lies from Dissident Voice by David Swanson

Lies, Damn Lies, and Nuclear Lies

Remarks at protest at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on the International Day of Peace, 2012
Our government likes to lie to us about nuclear weapons.  This poor impoverished nation halfway around the world is about to nuke us.  No, that one is.  The result, of course, is mass murder.  But there’s another result potentially even worse.  We begin to think there’s something wrong with being terrified of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy.  There isn’t.  This stuff should scare the hell out of us.  And the arrogant lunacy of imagining that even an honest and accountable authority, much less our government, could set up a commission to regulate the winds of hell and deadly substances with a half-life as long as the age of the Earth must give us serious pause.
What are we thinking? How are we thinking? Are we thinking?
