"Pandora's Promise" Is Nuclear Power The Answer To Climate Change?
2013-11-06 19:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: CNN New Day Anchor Kate Bolduan interviewed Academy Award-nominated director Robert Stone about his documentary film Pandora's Promise, which profiles several high profile environmentalists who now strongly support nuclear power as a part of the global solution to reduce fossil fuels emissions. Stone, who supports the replacement of fossil fuel powered energy plants with nuclear energy, debated Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune, who says that the cost and safety concerns of nuclear energy...
Sensonics Protecting Nuclear Power Plant in UAE
2013-11-06 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Condition monitoring specialists SENSONICS are continuing to fly the flag for UK engineering following continued success in securing significant export contracts. In fact, Sensonics are the only British instrumentation manufacturing company involved in the US$30 billion project, the first nuclear power station to be built in the United Arab Emirates. The contract, for over 1,500 protection channels, is for the supply of the highly successful G3 machinery protection system, monitoring the ...This story is related to the following:Speed Monitors | Vibration Monitors

Use nuclear power in war on warming, scientists urge
2013-11-04 06:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Some of the world's top climate scientists say wind and solar energy won't be enough to head off extreme global warming, and they're asking environmentalists to support the development of safer nuclear power as one way to cut fossil fuel pollution. Part of the containment vessel for a new nuclear reactor at the Plant Vogtle power plant is shown under construction in Augusta, Ga., in 2012. Some of the worlds top climate scientists say wind and solar energy will not be enough to head off extreme...

Scientists: nuclear power can prevent use of the atmosphere as a waste dump
2013-11-03 18:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: This weekend, four well-respected climate scientists are emphatically calling for policymakers to rethink their stances on nuclear power. The group says "opposition to nuclear power threatens humanitys ability to avoid dangerous climate change" and that nuclear power will be key "to develop[ing] an energy system that does not rely on using the atmosphere as a waste dump." Doctors Ken Caldeira (Department of Global Ecology, Carnegie Institution), Kerry Emanuel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology),...

Nuclear power gets twice the price of solar!
2013-10-29 22:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The UK government's policy to pay for more for nuclear power than for power from solar PV is in direct contradiction of EU rules on state aid. The Hinkley C nuclear power station is to be paid more than twice as much as German solar pv arrays of 10MW or more, energy expert David Toke of Aberdeen University has calculated. And even smaller arrays are being paid considerably less than the price paid to EDF at Hinkley. And according to Dr Toke, this vast differential in state support will seriously...
