Top Israeli official: 'We will attack' Iran to halt nuclear program
2008-06-07 04:17:00 On Deadline - USATODAY.com As Israel's prime minister returned from discussions at the White House, his deputy said in a newspaper interview that "we will attack" Iran if Tehran continues its nuclear program, the Financial Times reports. Prime Minister Ehud Olmet also warned Iran-backed Hamas it might face a "harsh operation" in response to rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. "Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable," Shaul Mofaz told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper. "If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective." It was the most explicit threat to date from a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's cabinet. In 1981, Israeli warplanes destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor.

McCain's Nuclear Weapons Speech: Cheers, Jeers, and Questions
2008-06-03 06:05:00 Sen. John McCain's speech last week certainly falls short of calling for a world free of nuclear weapons, but the good news is that his presidency shouldn't look exactly like Bush III. The Center's Leonor Tomero released today an excellent summary of his much talked about Denver speech on nuclear security. While some find his statements largely in line with Bush's, Tomero finds a number of high points: a willingness to begin to address the threat of nuclear weapons, a commitment to internationalism and diplomacy, and a recognition of the necessity of U.S. non-proliferation leadership.

2008-05-31 03:58:00 El director general de la Asociación de Industrias Nucleares Europeas (FORATOM), Santiago San Antonio, señaló hoy que para que España solucione su problema energético, la clave se encuentra en la construcción de nuevas centrales, ya que ahora tiene que importar grandes cantidades de energía de otros países.Así, San Antonio indicó que España se encuentra 'retrasada energéticamente', mientras que en Europa se están apoyando en ello, y apostó por alcanzar una producción de energía nuclear equivalente a la media europea, que actualmente supone un 30 por ciento del mix energético.Por otro lado, señaló que en España se ha dado un giro 'satisfactorio' en las políticas energéticas, tras la decisión del presidente del Gobierno, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, de actuar de acuerdo a las normativas europeas, y además señaló que el desfase energético español influirá negativamente en el déficit económico, para lo que 'habrá que definir el futuro energético en un plan a largo plazo (20 ó 30 a...

Energy Crisis in the UK - Go Nuclear go Green.
2008-05-29 11:57:00 The following is taken from the NEI (Nuclear Energy Institute) Website:An International Energy Agency (IEA) analysis found that nuclear power?s life-cycle emissions range from 2 to 59 gram-equivalents of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour. Only hydropower?s range ranked lower, at 2 to 48 grams of carbon dioxide-equivalents per kilowatt-hour. Nuclear energy?s life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions are lower than wind (7 to 124 grams of carbon dioxide-equivalents) and solar photovoltaic (13 to 731 grams of carbon dioxide-equivalents), according to the agency. The life-cycle emissions from natural gas-fired plants ranged from 389 to 511 grams of carbon dioxide-equivalents per kilowatt-hour.Many nuclear critics have claimed that new nuclear plants would need to use lower ore uranium, which requires more energy to extract, and therefore would have higher emissions. In response, British Energy conducted a follow-up study that showed even with a very low uranium ore grade, CO2 emissions would r...

La Sociedad Europea de Física apoya la energía nuclear
2008-05-29 11:24:00 Daniel Cano Ott Una de las técnicas retóricas habituales en el debate nuclear es la de invalidar los argumentos del oponente aduciendo que éstos sirven a intereses particulares. Tanto partidarios como detractores son acusados de sesgar, condicionar o incluso falsificar los datos técnicos en favor de convicciones, que no demostraciones, o del beneficio económico. Dicha técnica, además de degenerar habitualmente en falacias "ad hominem" y acusaciones graves, poco o nada sirve a la causa de esclarecer las dudas sobre los aspectos técnicos. Por ello, creo que puede resultar interesante y esclarecedor saber cuál es el resultado del análisis de la Sociedad Europea de Física sobre el tema que aquí nos atañe.
Fabian's nuclear option
2008-05-29 07:00:00 "One alternative energy source that’s getting a lot of attention is nuclear," says Doug Fabian (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2042), editor of The ETF Trader (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2042). Here, he looks at Market Vectors Nuclear Energy (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=nlr) (ASE: NLR (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=nlr)). "While I still think the odds favor a short-term pullback in the oil space, I do think the world now realizes that the only long-term solution to the high cost of oil is alternative energy sources."Nuclear has had a lot of bad press over the years, but now its press coverage is beginning to change. "I think the world finally is realizing that nuclear energy is both a safe and sane source of power generation for the world’s voracious energy appetite, and that realization could mean big profits for us in this service."To take advantage of the renewed glow in nuclear (pun inten...

Iran Hiding Nuclear Secrets From UN
2008-05-27 07:19:00 Oh how I love to be proven right. I wish it were on something insignificant like when it was going to rain and such, but now I've been proven to be right about Iran's nuclear program.Iran's alleged research into nuclear warheads remains a matter of serious concern and Tehran should provide more information on its missile-related activities, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Monday.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also said, in its latest report on Iran, that Tehran was holding back information on high-explosives testing relating to its nuclear program.This is according to the UN's nuclear group, the IAEA, NOT according to the US or any other intelligence agencies. So, those of you out there who keep saying that it's all being "made up about Iran", (Keith Olbermann, I'm looking at you), it simply IS NOT TRUE. Iran IS hiding something.Case in point:The IAEA said it asked Iran in April to provide access to locations related to the manufacture of uranium centrifuges, ...
