  • Why I'm Long Uranium and Nuclear / Power Engineering [View article]
    expand your thinking to the worldwide situation; get the USA out of prominance in your mind. also, remember, like oil, uranium is somewhat fungible in the commodity market.

  • Smart Grid: Powering Us Out of Recession [View article]
    i read the first two paragraphs then stopped, rejecting the remainder. would you supply specifics and extents of these other "advanced" countries with implemented sophisticated/intellig... grid structures. i don't believe your information will be extensive.

    meantime,search the implementation actions/development trials in the USA, by state, by utility, by the major technology sponsor. compare that list with others you find throughout the world. you will begin your education, leading towards competency in this subject.

    i do not claim the USA actions are complete nor adequate for achieving total benefit from your subject matter. this subject is broad and deep enough for a dozen textbooks and thousands of sound papers/journals.

    but your entry here demonstrates a shallowness undesrving persuit beyond two paragraphs.

    may you prepare better in the future or modify your introductory writing style and content.

    during the recent presidential election campaign, mr. Obama stated he had a plan to create 2+ million "green" jobs. let him be on with it, post haste. will this "Obama green plan" be part of our current "stimulus" effort?

    should be easy and quick! there was a plan? right?
