How nuclear can stop global warming (in la la land). Scientific American

How Nuclear Power Can Stop Global Warming

Scientific American

1.  Nuclear takes 10-20 years to build a new plant.

2.  It is prohibitively expensive when the hidden tax-payer covered insurance is considered.

3.  2-3x cost over-runs.

Hansen is going to save us, or kill us - stay tuned.

HURRY! SOMEONE GET DR. HANSEN HIS MEDS (OR IS IT A CRIMINALLY SHODDY ARTICLE): Experts say nuclear power needed to slow warming Seattle Post Intelligencer

Seattle Post Intelligencer

4TH GENERATION NUCLEAR, JIM, CORRECT?  NOT 3RD GEN, RIGHT JIM?

JIM, WHAT IS INCORRECT ABOUT STUDIES LIKE "SOLAR TRILLIONS" THAT SAY YOU ARE DEAD WRONG ABOUT RENEWABLES BEING INSUFFICIENT???

vid AVERTING ECOCIDE - NASA'S DR. JAMES HANSEN.

[CLICK LOWER RIGHT TO ENLARGE.]

WARNING:  If you watch this, you'll never be able to say "I didn't know, in time."

Yes, this vid is PROFOUNDLY DRY, BORING, and TRAGICALLY, IT IS THE ONLY succinct distillation of the Science, Technology, Economics yet available. True. Terrible, but True. Why? God, and Cowardice, only know.  

IT'S TAKEN ME 4 YEARS OF POURING THROUGH THE MAIN STREAM LITERATURE, ARTICLES, STUDIES... TO DISTILL OUT THE ACTIONABLE, BOTTOM LINE, INFORMATION.  Here it is -

For God's Sake, aren't the next 200 billion children worth 20 minutes of difficult viewing for you????

Loving, here: Ecocide: Being averted another way?

Ecocide:  Being averted another way?   (check my numbers below, pls advise if you see major errors)

I don't know.  The one or two that have followed my writings in the last 6 months know I've hinted, occasionally, that I know Pr. Obama and his Chu,
A. Know the Ecocide problem, and
B. Are aggressively attacking it with R&D.

My demand, my campaign, my life has been committed to getting the deadly wreckage costs of coal and oil, ON THE CONSUMER'S BILL TODAY, OFF THE CHILDREN'S BILL 10 years from now.  Doing so, aside from fundamental  morality, instantly changes the economics, makes the market True, the market costs True, basically obsoleting coal and oil, immediately.

In 2009 (?) Dr. Hansen's "Storms," said the answer was closing
1. all US coal plants (25% of world total, about .8 gigatons carbon/year, 600 coal plants, 600 gigawatts worth) by 2020, and
2. all coal plants (2.4 gigatons, 2,400 coal plants, 2,400 gigawatts worth) by 2030.
I find NO ONE as credible or useful as Dr. Hansen.  Do you?

He, and I, and others say a $240/ton carbon price by 2022 would probably do this, by fundamentally changing the market price TO THE TRUE PRICE, and hence the market dynamics, Truly.  And, morally, this should be done.

But can the market shift be done a different way?  Yes.  Anything that has a similar changing of RELATIVE market prices, dynamics will have the same effect.

IS IT BEING DONE A DIFFERENT WAY?  I don't know.  I think it is.  I KNOW it is, to a degree.  I'm trying now to grasp the magnitude of the degree.

Another way:
*  Fee and Dividend / Price of Carbon Wreckage ON THE BILL TODAY shows Wind and Sun as the far cheaper alternative, TODAY. OR....
*  DRAMATIC LOWERING OF WIND AND SUN AND BIOFUEL COSTS TODAY, ACHIEVES THE SAME THING!  As I've said, I know intuitively, quite confirmed in a MUST READ Atlantic article the other day, that Pr. Obama, calculating the near impossibility given a Lifeless, Soul-less US citizenry of 2012, of averting Ecocide with legislation,  Fee and Dividend or otherwise.  I knew he was seeking to win by dramatically accelerating renewable energy costs.
a.  BUT IS HE SUCCEEDING? 
b. ARE OTHER DYNAMICS KICKING IN IN TIME - PLUNGING SOLAR PV PRICING; 4, 8, 16 X WIND TOWER OUTPUTS; yes, and even Natural Gas**** as a 5 year stopgap?????????????

I don't know.  But is it doing some of the job, achieving some of Dr. Hansen's:
A. Take down .8 GT (gigatons) carbon by 2020, and
B.  2.4 GT more by 2030?
YES.  How much?

Within several weeks, for myself, I expect to have a ball-park answer for myself.  I'll post it on this site.

****NO! I have NOT forgotten the most criminally under-reported story of 2012 - that natural gas seepage levels are currently making natural gas EVEN MORE DEADLY TO THE FUTURE THAN COAL!!!  But how feasible is it to dramatically reduce the seepage?  What is the proper legislation?  Is that feasible?  Status?...?

GWDF2 D12a F*ckrs!x# Hansen, Romm... write to write, not to EMPOWER CITIZEN ACTION!

 F*ckrs!x# Hansen, Romm, Brown, McKibben, Publious... write to write, not to EMPOWER CITIZEN ACTION!  Verbal masturbators, a big circle-jerk with thier bureaucratic budies, and the members of their club.  Nero had nothing on this lot.

I want to ACT.  I want to DO.  I want to KNOW WHAT TO DO.  And I can, with .1% of the information needed by others, DO SO!  Have been, my whole life.  BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH!!!!

I've read Plan B 3.0 at least 7 times and am about to start my 8th.

I've read Storms of my Grandchildren twice and am about to start my 3rd time.

I scan maybe hundreds of articles per day, headlines at least.

I've read all McKibben's books, Gore's books.

YES, THEY TELL  ME THERE IS A PROBLEM.

AFTER ALL THIS STUDY, I STILL DON'T KNOW THE ESSENCE, THE ESSENTIALS, OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

Tons and tons and megatons, gigatons of generalities, words, facts, detials...  MEANINGLESS!!!!!!!!  Infotainment!  EXPLOITATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO CONTEXT.
NO BOTTOM LINES.
NOTHING ACTIONABLE.  NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING.  THIS IS CRIMINAL.
