Yet another nuclear front group pretending that nuclear is “clean”- Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance

Perry forum will focus on group’s efforts to save Ohio’s nuclear power plants, News-Herald, By Bill DeBus bdebus@news-herald.com @bdebusnh on Twitter 28 Oct 18 A public forum will be held on Jan. 14 in Perry Village to highlight the efforts a statewide group that’s working to keep Ohio’s two nuclear power plants open.The Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance is seeking a public policy solution that will save the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in North Perry Village and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Oak Harbor Village, about 25 miles east of Toledo. Both plants, owned by FirstEnergy, are slated to close by 2021………

Discussions about the fate of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant have intensified since March 28, when FirstEnergy Solutions announced it would close three of its nuclear power plants, including Perry and Davis-Besse. In recent years, the plants have struggled to compete with the cheaper cost of natural gas.

Three days after announcing the nuclear plant closings, FirstEnergy Solutions and FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Earlier this month, the Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance formed. The group stated that it will engage legislators, policymakers and the public to emphasize the employment, economic, environmental and grid reliability benefits provided by the state’s two nuclear power facilities.

“We are here to urge our elected leaders to take the necessary steps to save the Davis-Besse and Perry nuclear power stations,”…..https://www.news-herald.com/news/lake-county/perry-forum-will-focus-on-group-s-efforts-to-save/article_84d0a3d4-d6e9-11e8-839a-bf10b844131f.html

Diseconomics of Generation IV nuclear reactors -theme for September19

First of all, dispel the nonsense that these expensive gimmicks will solve climate change. They can’t. And even if they could, they’d be deployed far too late to make any difference.

Generation IV nuclear reactors , Thorium Molten Salt Reactors (TMSRs) , Medium and Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (MSRs) – have only one real use – to support the nuclear weapons industry – providing it with expertise, materials, technology development and media hoohah.

The nuclear salesmen promote other lies, as well as the climate one. There’s the lie about solving the waste problem, and the one about safety.

But the most compelling case against Generation IV nuclear reactors is that inevitable one – COST. There’s no market for these nuclear lobby toys – no chance of commercial biability. That’s mainly because , to have any hope, they would have to be ordered en masse. – and who’s going to invest in that risky idea?

Therefore – the only possible customers are governments. Which means YOU – your taxes.

In the meantime, rapid developments in energy efficiency, renewables, and battery storage offer a genuine opportunity for investors – and they are taking it up.
