energy production

Description

In this 1985 presentation, Galen Winsor explains the real science behind radiation disposal and nuclear energy safety, and exposes the fraudulent government regulations that keep energy prices artificially high at the expense of the consumer. Links to informative news articles and essays on nuclear power and the "energy crisis": Another Look at Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is on the go, helping countries in Europe and other parts of the world solve their energy woes economically and safely. Will America get back on board? http://tinyurl.com/6w22kq6 Myths About Nuclear Energy http://tinyurl.com/6r7yczn Fukushima: Just How Dangerous is Radiation? The situation in Japan is tragic: an earthquake, a tsunami, death, homelessness, and carnage. The grimness is exacerbated by worries about radiation. But should it be? http://tinyurl.com/7zuuhqu The Effects of Low-dose Radiation The Japanese are not alone in being exposed to low-dose radiation; everyone is exposed to radiation daily, emanating from our food, buildings, etc. And that's good news! http://tinyurl.com/73pfmtp Rethinking Nuclear Power With blackouts, power shortages, and rate hikes becoming more common, now is the time for America to reexamine the promise of nuclear energy. http://tinyurl.com/7ux344e Nuclear Waste: Not a Problem Unbeknownst to most people, the bulk of nuclear waste is recyclable, and the remainder can be safely stored and presents little danger to anyone. http://tinyurl.com/7px6d29 The "Other" Renewables Environmentalists often refer to wind, solar, and "other renewable sources" of energy. What are these "other sources"? How can they contribute to our energy future? http://tinyurl.com/7hhdy8v Green Fairy Tales The Obama administration's energy policy revolves around cutting energy usage and increasing "green" energy supplies. We examine the odds of the plan's success. http://tinyurl.com/75dlhye Energy's Future The world need never run out of energy. In fact, technology and private enterprise are poised to bring us an abundance of energy—if government will just get out of the way http://tinyurl.com/6pmhj23 Energy for America We can achieve energy independence for the 21st century without destroying the environment. There's no need to de-industrialize or sacrifice our standard of living. http://tinyurl.com/7sagz2d Stifling America's Energy Production http://tinyurl.com/7nvcgmf Building the Post-Kyoto Future The new U.S.-Asian pact on global warming has more to do with transferring technology to China than with saving the planet from greenhouse gases. http://tinyurl.com/6wdxne6 The New Fuel Crisis Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have exposed our nation's vulnerability to disruptions in fuel supply. Weaknesses in the system are due to unnecessary regulations and bureaucracy. http://tinyurl.com/c5tpxk3 Race for Fuel China's growing thirst for fuel has led the Communist country to search aggressively for oil outside its borders. That search may sow the seeds of conflict with the West. http://tinyurl.com/cqm2rlg Free Market vs. Price Controls As gas prices hit record highs, calls are inevitable for government to remedy the "problem" through price controls— -- though that solution hasn't worked in the past. http://tinyurl.com/7dr9njs The High Cost of Heat http://tinyurl.com/74ox2j6 Energizing America http://tinyurl.com/7g4fvyk Why Are Gas Prices Climbing? http://tinyurl.com/7jmhytv How to Create an Energy Crisis http://tinyurl.com/75m2sr3 Losing America's Livelihood The U.S. is headed for Third World status unless we change government policies that are driving U.S. businesses offshore, destroying jobs and putting entrepreneurs out of business. http://tinyurl.com/7nvr33w The "Geek Gap" The erosion of America's manufacturing base is undermining our research and development capacity—and, unless reversed, will lead to a shortage of hi-tech engineers. http://tinyurl.com/7xv7a6y Freedom's Frontier From the ocean's depths to outer space, private ent...
