Big Lie: Wind turbines freezes Texas during massive winter storm
Frozen electricity infrastructure in Texas was due to cold weather, and bad maintenance, not wind turbines

Woods Hole – benign Fukushima radiation plume reached U.S. West Coast, why isn’t EPA measuring for radiation?
Barely detectable levels of Cesium-134 have been detected in the Pacific Ocean within 100 miles of the U.S. West Coast. Despite the so-called radioactive plume having nearly reached the coast, we shouldn’t be afraid (yet) that the Pacific Ocean is being absolutely fried with nuclear radiation from Fukushima. The results…
Coal/Electricity industry crying about government’s war on coal and attacks on electricity
A few days ago we looked at how some in the Oil industry are protecting their position – by feeding us education (propaganda?) saying that fracking is okay. Today, I have found a Coal/Electricity industry CEO, FirstEnergy Corp. President and CEO Anthony Alexander, crying that “electricity is under attack,” that…
Fukushima’s nuclear accident should teach us about nuclear power dangers, if only we’d pay attention
Supposedly nuclear power plants are extremely clean – and certainly they don’t directly produce a “carbon” footprint, in the way that fossil fuels do. However, a few years ago we had Stanford Univ Professor Mark Jacobsen speak at the Electric Auto Association (Silicon Valley Chapter) about a study he wrote…
Hansen tells environmentalists to go nuclear to avoid climate catastrophe
Prof. James Hansen and a group of scientists released a paper today claiming we need to go nuclear to prevent climate change. Generally speaking I’m against nuclear power, and point at the Fukushima disaster as proof of my fear of that technology. But.. the scientists behind the paper make an…
TEPCO says not to worry over deadly radioactive water leak at Fukushima
Radioactive water leaks at TEPCO’s Fukushima nuclear power plant are not as bad as the press is reporting, said TEPCO on Sunday. Over the weekend TEPCO discovered a leak of radioactive water, at a lethal radiation level, from a storage tank, over which TEPCO says news reports blew the danger…
TEPCO detects toxic water leaking into ocean at Fukushima nuclear site
TEPCO reported on Sunday that highly toxic levels of radioactive tritium and cesium are leaking into the Pacific Ocean from the crippled Fukushima no. 1 power plant. Amid rising concerns about radiation leaks at the site, and a declaration of Emergency by Japans Nuclear Regulatory Agency, TEPCO drilled a new…
Wind power cheaper and cleaner than nuclear power says UK scientist group
Modern society requires a massive amount of electricity to function, and traditionally that electricity comes from burning fossil fuels which then cause a range of environmental and climate problems. In the search for an alternative to fossil fuels, both nuclear power and renewables like wind or solar are prominent contenders…
Japan to end nuclear power dependency by 2040
A year and a half ago one of the largest known earthquakes ever struck off the North Japanese coast, triggering a tsunami devastating the Japanese coast, as well as a massive nuclear power disaster. Since then the Japanese people have spoken up clearly, with protests of tens of thousands of…
Nuked butterflies near Fukushima reactor demonstrate genetic abnormalities
The earthquake, tsunami and resulting nuclear catastrophe at the Fukushima Japan nuclear power plant resulted in large scale radiation releases. While Science Fiction predicted creatures such as Godzilla resulting from massive nuclear radiation releases into the ocean, actual scientists have found a disturbing change on a more modest scale in…
