Funky Town Finance Meets The Nuclear Renaissance / Politics / Energy Resources
By: Andrew_McKillop
Like a Marlene Dietrich show in a remake of 1945 Berlin, surrounded by Soviet troop hordes, the nuclear sales show has to go on. The vaunted “Nuclear Renaissance” which is being proclaimed by the industry could see more than 200 new reactors built during the 2010-2020 decade, rivalling the industry’s previous high-water mark of 1975-1985 when one new reactor came on line, on average, every 17 days. The image of cheap, clean, safe and low carbon energy which is also secure – despite the uranium being mostly imported – has seduced political deciders and the corporate elite, worldwide. But the reality behind this romantic green image of a nuclear panacea to future energy needs is something altogether different.

By: Andrew_McKillop
Political deciders, corporate elites and mainstream media, almost everywhere, have swung to
virtually total support for nuclear power. Major agencies and entities promoting nuclear power,

New Global Energy Sector Profit Opportunity of Our Lifetime / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: Oil prices will reach a record $150 a barrel, sending gasoline prices to $3.80 a gallon. Commercial nuclear power is making a comeback - but in "nuclear batteries," instead of in hulking power plants of the past. New global-warming regulations will turn air-pollution credits into financial assets that can trade like stocks or bonds. And China's zooming growth will turn the global energy sector upside down.
