Dave Roberts at Grist has some words on the baseload fallacy - Do we need nuclear and coal plants for baseload power? . On Friday, Matt Yglesias made the point that only socialist state control seems capable of creating a robust nuclear power industry. After all, the only countries building nuke plants these days are the ones where governments are making the decisions. David Frum replied with a series...

Californication by digby This piece by Dave Roberts gets to the nub of our ongoing national problem with governance and it's a biggie: the Senate and its supermajority rules: What’s that dysfunction? It’s simple: a supermajority requirement coupled with an extreme, unified minority . Everything else—and I mean pretty much every lamentable feature of American politics —flows...

There are a seemingly endless number of pix of this sculpture on the web, but I like the way this photographer seems to have converted all the image to greyscale except for the child on the bike with the training wheels. Photo credit: Dave Roberts

by Clark Williams-Derry This post originally appeared at Sightline’s Daily Score blog . Last week, Dave Roberts blogged about a recent—and very important—study by the National Research Council on the enormous hidden costs of energy consumption . I’m surprised that the study hasn’t gotten more press coverage. It’s fact-rich, sober, and completely non-ideological—and,...

Dave Roberts: I’m sure Steve Mufson and Juliet Eilperin didn’t choose the headline, but whoever did, I think it’s a real mistake to refer to the Kerry-Boxer bill as “ a bit more ambitious ” than its Waxman-Markey counterpart in the House. This became conventional wisdom almost immediately, but it seems to me both wrong and pernicious — the more Kerry-Boxer is seen...

Well, here in New York, it's cold, more rain is on the way, the Red Sox season is over and the Yankees won Game 1 of the ALCS. So what to do to boost your spirits? How about this: Dave Roberts. Just hearing his name makes me feel better. It was five years ago today. It changed everything, and thank goodness for that. My thanks to my friends at Surviving Grady for the video.

photo, Dave Roberts. Another name on the street has gone for good in Llandudno, that of "National Milk Bars". I confess it is many a long year since they took any money off me, but going back 30+ years ago, when it was in what is the old Burger King I had many a lunch in there, pretty positive there was an upstairs, basic food, but most reliable, I next door was the old Steam Packet Pub and...

Over at Grist.org , Dave Roberts ponders the merits of a deal to entice Republican votes for climate legislation, and discusses the right ways to go about it. I actually spent a chunk of time yesterday leafing through the Republican "alternative" energy bill introduced in the House in June to see what exactly these Rs want for nukes and oil. It was like stepping into bizarro world. Here's...
