    Uranium: Red Hot Yellow Cake [view article]
    I'm an American residing in Thailand. Thailand plans to build their first 4 nuclear power plants - though there will be public resistance and scarcity of funding. I'm on the fence about nuclear - was once was adamantly against, now cautiously in favor - though not for Thailand, because of its dismal record with building safe large-scale structures. Indonesia, Vietnam, even Burma have plans to build their first nuclear plants also. Reply

    Paladin Resources: A Bet on Western Australia’s Uranium Mines [view article]
    The big election is happening Sept. 6th in Australia.The Liberal party is gaining ground quickly in WA where that puppet master Carpenter is now in control.He's the guy who's wrapped around the coal industries dirty fingers or for a better phrase: they have him in their back pocket.If the Liberal party wins, Carpenter's out & FINALLY uranium mining will happen in WA.....Uranium mining stocks will explode (Paladin Energy) and our enviroment will start to use a MUCH BETTER burning energy source for the atmosphere and use less dirty coal.......THE LIBERAL PARTY HAS TO WIN THE ELECTION ON SEPT. 6TH IN WA...................

    Both Australian Federal or State Labour or Liberals are not opposed to uranium mining, other then WA and Queensland State Labour parties, yet they are supporting dirty coal 100%, it's time to kick them both out.
    and let Paladin produce uranium for clean energy around the world.

    Fascinating post.

    I didn't know there was another political subdivision besides the U.S. that was so backward in the exploration and production of domestic energy.

    You learn something new every day.

    I've owned the stock for almost 3 years now & the writer of this story could not be any more on the bulls eye.Not only does WA need to kick Mr. Carpenter out of office (govt's lack of action caused huge gas explosion there 2 months ago which crippled the state), Queensland needs to change their no uranium mining as well.Paladin Resources has operations there as well when they bought Summit Resources last Spring for 1 billion dollars.The partnership with Cameco is in the northern territory.The demand/supply situation for uranium reserves is in huge favor for the miners.Something like 85% of the uranium coming out of the ground is generated by only eight companies--and one of those companies is Paladin Resources.By far the company with the highest growth potential out of the 8 companies is Paladin Resources.Once these ridiculous uranium mining bans are lifted in WA & Queensland (possibly shortly), uranium companies who have production now & in the near future will benefit greatly, and Paladin Resources is one of a very select few............

    Global Warming Up to a Hydrogen Economy [view article]
    Any high school chemistry student knows how to make H2 from H2O. It takes some familarity with thermodynamics and economics to appreciate the costs.

    A catalyst can only permit a reaction that is thermodynamically possible. No catalyst can make H2 from water without input of more energy than you get from making water from H2. The same applies to making carbon and oxygen from CO2. That energy has to come from somewhere. It would take a huge excess supply of nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, or tidal power before one could consider a meaningful conversion of CO2 to C and O2 or of H2O to H2 and 1/2*O2.

    How much consideration is being given to use of solar power and biomass (algea?) to use up CO2 and make O2? In Brazil they are making CO2 from forrests in order to make ethanol from sugar.

    The idea of nuclear power to make electricity to make H2, pipe the H2 to homes, make electricity from H2 at the home, and use this electricity to heat the home seems to be, at the least, somewhat inefficient. As a matter of fact it seems like fuzzy thinking taken to a new extreme.

    One (small) nuclear power plant generates 1000 megawatts. That would requires 500 windmills. Do you realise how much space that takes? One windmill is pretty; 500 is a different story. And you're an environmentalist? Reply

    Does anyone remember WPPS, the Washington Public Power System?They went broke back in the 70's due to over regulation and the anti nuc lobby. Also look and the Nuclear Depository. Think about that very good advice "When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing is to stop digging".
    With the problems of disposal and current mind set about nuclear power I don't see it ever being a viable power source in the US. The last two days I spent driving across North Dakota on I-94 and I think we must have seen at least 5 wind turbines, all privately owned by farmers. This as I was pulling a small travel trailer and getting 8 mpg with my deisel pickup while heading into a 35 mph headwind.

    The answer is all around us, wind, solar, what else do we need?

    We've all heard France produces 70% of their energy via nuclear reactors. They went through a period of disposal crimes, and Greenpeace got them back on track. No meltdowns, no China syndrome, and the footprint of their current reactor models is 1/2 what it was with double the output. The problem for the US is they cost billions, and take years to build, even after approval. I work for a power company that burns coal, and inspected 3 units last week. There is nothing visible coming out of those stacks. Coal is clean gang, natural gas is cleaner. I'm a fan of clean coal, but am OK with nuclear too. I've invested in U and EQN, and buying natural gas as summer prices hit. Coal, I'm looking at PUDA over the counter, and would like something similar in Brazil. Reply

    Of course, the other incentive for replacing the fossil fuels powered vehicle fleet"\ is to stop sending so many Western dollars to countries who's populace wants to do harm to Western countries. Cutting our appetite for oil is important for so many reasons, it's amazing to me that very little has been done to make it happen. I won't say it has anything to do with the leaders of the united states being so involved in oil. Reply

    Should we have ignored the environmental hysteria decades ago that prevented us from having nuclear power in place now?
    Should we be listening to similar rhetoric now? Who could have imagined environmentalists would do a 180 on nuclear energy.

    There isn't a power source available in terms of energy yield and constant power generation that can sit in company with nuclear energy aside from fossil fuels. However, burning fossil fuels is the cause of our environmental concerns and as we all know, they are in diminishing supply. In fact, the IEA is conducting a study of the worlds 400 largest oil fields and are expected to find that the supply is FAR LESS than previously expected. I for one am nervous to find out the result (but happy for my nuclear energy portfolio!).

    While vehicles and general transport is slowly replaced by more environmentally friendly means (hydrogen, cellulosic ethanol, electric, ceramic engines), we need a power source that can power large city grids. There might be enough coal out there to power America for centuries to come but we would then subject ourselves to acid rain, intollerable drinking water and thick clouds of smog (anyone seen what China's cities have become?). Nuclear power is the answer and the rest of the word sees it except the U.S.

    While China, India, France and many others continue to make advances in nuclear energy and build new reactors to satisfy their power needs, we sit on our hands- ignoring the inevitable. I fear such idle waiting will lead to the next great war as nations around the world begin hoarding oil and natural gas while prohibiting their export. Consider if you will how much oil the United States of America consumes and how much of that oil must be imported. Imagine taking that away and what lengths we would go to in order to ensure the great machine doesn't come to a grinding holt. A scary prospect my friends!!
