Here’s an infographic that summarizes some of the observations on the adoption of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). The reader will note that some of this stuff is so vague that it’s really valueless. For instance, Ambassador Hamad Al Kaabi,…

A U.S. Nuclear Exit?
Many of us are trying to understand the complex dynamics of energy, including the technology, the economics, and the politics that surround our ever-changing mix of coal, gas, oil, hydro, nuclear, and renewables. There are so many factors that enter…

Yes, Our Assessment of Nuclear Safety is Not Completely Logical, But….
A great deal of our objection to nuclear energy is based not on logical thinking, but on a kind of irrational hysteria that derives from our contemplating the explosion of hydrogen bombs, or how much more devastating accidents like Fukushima,…

From Guest-Blogger Jessica Greenberg: Nuclear Power – Is the Industry Doomed to Fail?
After the Chernobyl incident, nuclear power became infamous as a potent yet deadly source of alternative energy. It would seem that no one would want to take second chances, not after the calamity that fell on the once prosperous city…
Photovoltaics, Biofuels, and Nuclear Energy – Some Food for Thought
Thanks to frequent commenter Tim Kingston for sending me these two articles with which I begin the work week here at 2GreenEnergy. First is a pro-nuke piece – certainly a concept that defies what I’ve come to believe, yet I try to…

Small Modular Reactors
Looks like the Obama Administration wasn’t kidding about an “all-of-the-above strategy,” i.e., the deployment of every available source of energy; the U.S. DoE announced the implementation of small modular reactors (SMRs). For me to see value here, in addition to being…

Predictions on Nuclear Energy
On my post on the costs of nuclear energy, frequent commenter Larry Lemmert writes: Nuclear may go away for the next 50 years or so, not because of renewables beating them on price but because gas from fracking has become…

The Key Driver of Energy: Cost
Larry Lemmert, astute as always, wrote a terrific comment here, to the effect that our assessments of the dangers of nuclear energy are unfounded, and the math we attempt to apply here unfair. I think it’s true that there is…

Nuclear Versus Solar Energy
Rick Maltese is a bright, thoughtful guy, and makes some very solid statements on behalf of nuclear energy. He writes: Statistically safety for nuclear power in the US does better than renewables, mind you it is only marginally. You may…
A Conversation on Nuclear Energy
I wrote to a friend yesterday that I really don’t know whom or what to trust when it comes to evaluating the safety of nuclear energy. Obviously, there is a ton of content that suggests a cover-up on Fukushima, i.e.,…
