First Look at Carbon Capture and Storage in a West Virginia Coal-Fired Power Plant?

So says Sci-Am . The article is high on pic and low on facts. Only a small percentage of the CO2 is captured - 1.5% - but that is OK, it is only a demo plant. The key question, of course, is how much extra coal is burnt to achieve this? This vital fact is not clearly provided. The 1.5% is clear And now roughly 1.5 percent of the CO2 billowing from its stack is being captured... but the other half...

Greenpeace eases opposition to nuclear a bit

Few organizations have been as stridently anti-nuclear as Greenpeace. They’ve taken credit for scuttling nuclear plants (and doing nothing as coal took their place) and made opposition to nuclear energy a near-religious experience. However, with concerns about global warming and the growing realization that only nuclear can provide abundant, low-cost, always-on energy that society needs, [...]...

Sloppy, Anti-Nuclear "Journalism"

Several articles today burned me up for their sloppy, sensationalist, anti-nuclear approach to "journalism": CBS: Japan Uses Controverisal Nuke Fuel This article claims that Japan uses "weapons-grade" plutonium which is untrue. They use reactor-grade plutonium recycled from their light-water nuclear reactors. This article claims that they're making more nuclear waste when they're...

Caveat Emptor - Be Wary of Gas Salesmen Claiming Long Term Low Prices

My years as an operating engineer has turned me into a contrarian and a pessimist who is constantly looking for signs of trouble, especially as others get excited and focused on temporary good news. My years as a critical consumer of commercially sponsored media has also made wary of sales pitches disguised as news stories. When the ultimate source of salaries is advertising, it is hard to maintain...

An inconvenient nightmare, part II | Capitol Hill Blue Al Gore is at it again trying to scare the people of the world into fattening his pockets and ceding control of all human activity to a global government.
