  • France, for instance, about 75 percent of the electricity is generated from nuclear power,
  • There are more than 400 nuclear power plants around the world, with more than 100 in the United States.
  • Uranium-238 (U-238) has an extremely long half-life (4.5 billion years

    "#\ndrillsargentadog\n1 month ago 5\n\n@effigylayne While I agree with you that the English system is archaic and useless, I must point out that EVERY American physics/chemistry/engineering student uses the metric system almost exclusively. It's just that the class you're watching is not for actual physics students, and a large portion of nonscientist Americans are more familiar with the convoluted English system. I wish we could switch though :)"

Fears, Again, of Oil Supplies at Risk - New York Times - 0 views

  • In the early 1990's, the reserve, stored in underground caverns in Texas and Louisiana that can hold up to 700 million barrels, contained about 590 million barrels. At the time, that would have lasted about 82 days with no imports.

  • Bill Wattenburg was asked by the U.S. Government in April 1991 to be the U.S.   scientific  advisor to the Kuwaiti Government and help them put out the 500 oil well fires in Kuwait .  In the course of this effort,  he received daily reports on the continuing conflict in northern Iraq and  saw films of the Kurdish refugees in northern Iraq being machine gunned by Iraqi soldiers when the refugees flocked to the large food pallets that U.S forces were dropping by parachute in remote areas. 
  • Dropping individual packages from  high altitude would also scatter the food over larger areas so that refugees would not be easy targets for hostile soldiers who could target parachutes as they dropped. 
  • Relief officials would not try his idea in northern Iraq

  • A)   Congress and the  state governments must authorize and clear the way for  the immediate expansion of existing nuclear power plants  that were originally   designed and approved for more reactors than are operating in these plants  today.     We could  build 40 to 50 new nuclear reactors  at the existing nuclear power plant sites.
  • Simply expanding the existing nuclear power plants that have been operating continuously for over forty years is the biggest  reduction of greenhouse gases that can be accomplished without shutting down the American economy.   
  •    The government can build the first new nuclear power plants in the U.S.   at existing government power projects.    This should be  the modern “Apollo Project”  or “ Manhattan Project”  to build new energy for  the U.S.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Why not?    Congress already passed laws to guarantee the investment in the first five new nuclear plants built in the U.S.
  • Without new nuclear plants to avoid  building more coal plants,  the U.S.  will be increasing, not decreasing,  CO2 in the atmosphere by at least  2% each year.
  •   Turn  the foolish “excess profits”  attack on the oil companies into something constructive.   Require the rich oil companies to use part of their profits for something of long-term good.   Require that they build nuclear power plants with a small share of their  profits.
  • The anti-nuclear policies of California’s politicians  guarantee that California will add  20% more  CO2 to the atmosphere over the next ten years,  not  reduce by 20%  -- and they know this,  while they lie to the public that trusted them to run the state.   
  • Everything will fall in place as soon as construction starts on the first new nuclear plant in the U.S.    No  arguments, facts, or state of emergency will convince the fanatical anti-nuclear crowd to change their minds.    They will resist and cover their past monumental  mistakes until new construction is a reality.   They will never admit to the damage they have done to the U.S. working public and the world ecosystem by forcing this country to build filthy coal burning plants  and creating the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. 
  • And finally,  there is one more thing that must be done to make any of the above options possible.   Congress must stop  obstructionism by environmental frauds.  Congress must take away the money in the National Environmental Protection Act  (NEPA)  and  Endangered Species Act (ESA)   that pays  eco –fraud organizations  to file lawsuits and blackmail the public and stop all development  of our resources  in this nation. 
  • Top scientists and internationally recognized  environmentalists alike now agree  that we made a big mistake in killing nuclear power in the U.S  forty years ago.  
  • That forced us to  relying  on coal and natural gas power plants that have  created the excess CO2 greenhouse gas  that is blamed for global warming
  • They agree  that nuclear  is  now the only large source of  non-polluting energy that can replace the fossil fuels that are creating  global warming.
  • The most important thing is that the oil producing countries and OPEC will  bring down the price of oil only when they see the U.S.   developing its own vast reserves of oil --- and they see us building nuclear plants for the long-term  at the same time. 
  • The anti-nuclear fanatics and environmental frauds  organizations set up this nation to be blackmailed by the oil producing countries.
  • There is an estimated  85 billion barrels of  oil in areas of the U.S. that have been blocked off from exploration.   The estimated  10 billion  barrels of oil in a postage stamp area of the Alaskan National Wildlife (ANWAR)   may be the quickest new oil supply we can develop.

McCain calls for building 45 new nuclear reactors - 0 views

  • McCain called Wednesday for the construction of 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030

  • a pound of highly enriched uranium as used to power a nuclear submarine or nuclear aircraft carrier is equal to something on the order of a million gallons of gasoline. When you consider that a pound of uranium is smaller than a baseball, and a million gallons of gasoline would fill a cube 50 feet per side (50 feet is as tall as a five-story building), you can get an idea of the amount of energy available in just a little bit of U-235.
  • Three-percent enrichment is sufficient for use in a civilian nuclear reactor used for power generation. Weapons-grade uranium is composed of 90-percent or more U-235.

[PushBack] Analysis of current and important events - 0 views

  • Nuclear plants release more radiation than any other form of power generation False! U.S. coal-burning power plants (51% of our energy production) emit over 2,000 tons of radioactive uranium and thorium into the atmosphere every year. This is far more per year than the total radioactivity released by all U.S. nuclear plants, ever. This report by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory provides the details.
  • Nuclear power plants produce a large volume of radioactive waste Not even close. The share of the waste generated by a typical family of four over 20 years fits in a shoebox with normal U.S. power plants. And if the plants reprocessed the fuel to reuse it on site, the amount for the same family would fit in a pill bottle. Generating the same amount of energy would require a freight train–full of coal, natural gas, or oil, and would produce hundreds of tons of air pollution when burned—along with radioactive waste in the case of the coal plant’s slag pile.
  • Radiation is un-natural. Sorry, but it is completely natural. As this report on natural radioactivity shows, less than 1% of our exposure to radiation is from nuclear power and fallout.

  • All scientists agree that “Global Warming” is real and a big problem Not by a long shot. More than 2,000 scientists have signed the Heidelburg Appeal, and more than 15,000 have signed onto the Petition Project. Both of these dispute the sky-is-falling statements by other scientists and the media, and point out that there is a great amount of uncertainty in the current climate modeling, and that we are not even sure that the small warming measured is not due to natural Earth or Sun cycles.
