Mixed Outlook for Gas Reactors

Dan Yurman By Dan Yurman - The future of high temperature gas-cooled reactors is taking different directions depending on where you look. In Europe a multi-national collaboration is working on plans for a site to build the Allegro Reactor. However, in South Africa the proposed "rescue plan" for the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor involves selling off the now unfunded project by auction.   » Continue...

Most Important Climate and Energy Vote of the Year Tests Senate Direction

Keith Schneider By Keith Schneider - Late last year when Senator Lisa Murkowski announced she would vigorously oppose any effort to use the Clean Air Act to regulate carbon emissions, environmental leaders in Washington understood the significance of the Alaska Republican's challenge.

He included a rather amusing subject line on the email "Red meat for Rod" and addressed it to a small group of people who also have been subjected to my "wild" and somewhat contra-intuitive theories.  » Continue...

Winners and Losers from the Gulf Oil Spill

Geoff Styles By Geoff Styles - A comment on my recent posting on oil substitution opportunities in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill got me thinking about potential winners and losers from the broad changes that seem likely to ensue from this disaster. Some of these outcomes would depend on new laws and regulations that could alter the basis of competition within the oil and gas industry, between it and other energy sectors, and between specific energy technologies. However, I also wouldn't discount the possibility of enduring changes in our perceptions of the oil industry and of the ways in which we use oil.  » Continue...

BP Station Boycotts: Who Gets Hurt?

Jane Van Ryan By Jane Van Ryan - Anti-oil activists have found an outlet for their frustration over the Gulf oil spill. In several states this week, they are protesting, holding vigils, and calling for boycotts against BP. The demonstrations are likely to be similar to the protest held in Washington last Friday where Public Citizen and seven other activist groups waved signs, chanted and held a mock citizen's arrest of BP CEO Tony Hayward.   » Continue...
