November 5, 2009 by TonyfromOz

PART FOUR OF FOUR PARTS The image at left is the current chart for electrical power consumption for the U.S. The chart is from the huge Government site at the Energy Information Administration. This chart is from the October Quarter Report and is for the previous 3 months. Click on the image to open it […]

Kyoto – A Perspective (Part 50)

July 7, 2008 by TonyfromOz

CONCLUSIONS. (Part 3) Are there options to replace those coal fired power plants? Are they viable? Are they affordable? A cutback of one third of those coal fired plants means replacing fifty plants in the large baseload area, fifty plants of 2000MW size, and if it is to be considered seriously, then those mid sized […]

The Democrat Party’s Founding Father + More

June 17, 2008 by PA Pundits - International

They preside over an institution advised and influenced by moneyed, non-governmental groups and individuals with unquestionably anti-U.S. agendas who help make the Party a pseudo-intellectual sinkhole filled with perverse, tried-and-failed ideas repulsive to the majority of Americans. With utter disrespect, indeed contempt, for traditional American values, religions and institutions.

Democrat Altmire Voted To Block Legislation That Would Lower Gas Prices

June 13, 2008 by PA Pundits - International

Yesterday, the US House Democrats voted to block (H.R. 3089) from being considered on the House floor. The NO MORE EXCUSES ENERGY ACT encourages new refinery construction, lift the congressional moratoria on drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf, open ANWR to drilling, extend the wind production tax credit & encourage nuclear power.

Kyoto – A Perspective (Part 37)

REPLACING COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS. Shutting down 15% of the total electrical power production in the US is something that just rolls off the tongue, but what is actually entailed in doing something like this? It’s the closing down of around 50 large baseload coal fired power plants. Again, I have to stress the importance […]

ELECTRICITY PRODUCED BY NUCLEAR MEANS. (Part Four) Let’s pretend that the bean counters, and the lawyers, and the banks, and the NRC, and the people who live in the area, and the politicians in office at the time all give final approval for a nuclear power plant to be built, the major problem is the […]

ELECTRICITY PRODUCED BY NUCLEAR MEANS (Part Three) Just how then does a Nuclear power plant generate electricity? This explanation is highly simplified, and for this example, I’ll just deal with the light water reactors. Remember the picture in the last post showing the blue water inside the reactor. You would have seen some long rods. […]

Kyoto – A Perspective (Part 15)

ELECTRICITY PRODUCED USING THE NUCLEAR PROCESS. (Part One) I might guess some of you have been waiting to see how I might tiptoe around this subject, probably leaving it until the last and then only giving it a cursory mention. Contrary to tiptoeing, I might just stomp around yelling about it, and there might even […]
