If everything goes as planned, the southeast US will be the location for 27 of 31 new nuclear installations slated for construction beginning next year here in the US. And apologies for not giving the exact article url, but all the enews at the above site is worth reading to see how well the Chicago School is thriving post Katrina. This is a link to the recently posted October enews, but the article about the new nuclear plants is in the September 2007 archive.
As for keeping Joe Q informed, better have full access to internet and connections. I was reading an article in the Kentucky Living magazine, published by Inter-County Energy Cooperative, on "What the experts expect on energy and the environment". It's one of those deals where the fox is reporting all's well in the henhouse. According to the Electric Power Research Institute "it is feasible for the U.S. electric sector to first slow down the projected increase in carbon dioxide emissions, stop the increase, then decrease emissions while meeting an ever increasing demand for reliable and affordable electricity." There are actually two reports, this one by the EPRI and another by MIT that are forming the justification for national goals which will act as the foundation for government funding to contractors in the construction of the new nuclear power plants. And no, my little electric magazine hasn't yet told me this tidbit of information. The long existant, but supressed alternative energy technologies are now being "researched" by a new lab in Knoxville, TN called the DEM, Dynamic Energy Management. They're working to develop fuel cells, solar and wind technologies that will "supplement" declining resources. I imagine Telsa gnashing teeth right about now. I see Chicago School everywhere I look.
