Re: [Phys-l] Nuclear Power



Al Bartlett (2011) <http://www.albartlett.org/>, in his Physoc post "Nuclear Power," wrote [my inserts at ". . . . .[[insert]. . . ."]:

"Here is information on the website of the "Nuclear Energy Institute". . . .[[ <http://www.nei.org/>]]. . . . , a Washington D.C. based pro-nuclear power information and lobbying group. They send out a daily free e-mail newsletter five days a week. . . .[[see <http://bit.ly/evWKch>]]. . . .. Right now they are giving a lot of attention to the situation with the reactors in Japan, including making available the latest bulletins from Japan."

For a report on the Japanese reactor situation by the "Institute for Energy and Environmental Research" (IEER) <http://www.ieer.org/>, headed by Arjun Makhijani, author of "Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for US Energy Policy" [Makhijani (2007)], see "Post-Tsunami Situation at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan: Facts, Analysis, and Some Potential Outcomes" [Makhijani (2011)] at <http://bit.ly/habgwK>.

EggheadBooks information at <http://bit.ly/gs5sTe>: "In a world confronting global climate change, political turmoil among oil exporting nations, nuclear weapons proliferation, nuclear plant safety and waste disposal issues, the United States must assume a leadership role in moving to a zero-CO2-emissions energy economy. At the same time, the U.S. needs to take the lead in reducing the world's reliance on nuclear power. This breakthrough joint study by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research and the Nuclear Policy Research Institute shows how our energy needs can be met by alternative sources. Wind, solar, biomass, microalgae, geothermal and wave power are all part of the solution. "Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free" is must reading for people concerned with energy politics and everyone who wants to take action to protect the planet's future."
