  3. Hi. I agree with your sentiment here. Sorry, I may just be a little blind, but do you have an RSS feed? If so, could you please point me to it? I find it the best way to keep up to speed with the latest posts from a site.

    Keep up the good work.

  4. It is people like you and your readers who keep us addicted to oil. You think you are helping the environment? You are helping the oil companies and you’re so blinded by the reflection of your egos in the mirror to notice it.

  6. Well, Ohadi Langis turns out to be Dan Yurman
    Idaho Falls, ID, United States – proudly describing himself as:

    ” Serving nuclear energy markets since 1989. ”

    I first thought that his righteous indignation was genuinely in support of the original writers, whose work I quote, (with full acknowledgment and link)

    But no – Mr Yurman is a voice for th nuclear industry.

    Funny that I rarely get criticism from the genuinely concerned writers, and often have been offered free use of their work

  8. I recommend a good ecological and anti-nuclear site in Russia http://green.tomsk.ru/

    Tomsk, a place the world’s largest testing ground for the injection of radioactive wastes in the ground.

  9. Why you do not have e-newsletter?
    I do not always manage to find such news.

  10. I do, in fact, send out a news letter each week.
    However, I send it only to people who have asked for it.

    Why? My reason is simply pity for people who, like myself, receive heaps of emails, newsletters etc. It gets overwhelming. So, I send it only to those who have asked for it.
    I’ll send you the next one, green, and thanks for your link.

  12. well I think Moret is a fantasist with some kind of personality disorder, and that’s my 5 cents. OK I may change my mind, but this is how I came to that conclusion. I watched 2 of her talks and at first she was convincing, then I noticed she was citing articles in newspapers as though they were genuine science references and gradually I thought “oh dear this is some kind of play pretend ego trip, she doesn’t actually have the science to back this up”. Or something like that. Having 2 science degrees I thought the aura of the hard-nosed scientist was wearing thin. As these are psychology-based, I’m pretty familiar with the weirdness of people and it started to bother me that she might just be, well, quite sick.
    I got personally involved when she said her daughter was kidnapped and she couldn’t see her for 5 years. Why? Because this really happened to me, and it’s rare. I thought about emailing her, but wanted to find out more first if I could. What emerges is a clear picture that she repeats the same speech almost verbatim at every interview etc, so that explains the polished presentation. There are no more details, but what she describes (dark night of the soul) sounds kind of like a breakdown. I always wanted to be sure if by “kidnapped” she meant “my kid was taken into foster care” or something, because I wouldn’t waste any more time on it. And then I find she was only at livermore for 8 months in a computer lab and she only has a batchelor’s in geology? HOAXER. She’s obviously got a personality disorder and is havin’ it large at everyone’s expense. Go on. Prove me wrong. Please?

    • Leuren moret has said layman cant use geiger counters or scintallotors because the jews and powers that be are jamming them since 2014 and they are all inaccurate. That is exactly what leauren moret said and one of her minions i had the displeasure of argueing with said 6 months ago. How can one argue with that? Seems perfectly logical to me. Or her insistance that spook NSA guy jim stone got it right. Two nuclear bombs were detinated in the pacific and caused the Tonohu earthquake that caused fuku.. Lauren Moret and her supporters also claim that haarp is pushing fukushima radiation out of the atmosphere over russia. Just like a haarp induced earthquake is the only way a shitty nuclear complex like fukushima or other nuclear reactors can fail. fukushima was a catastrophe caused by nucleoape ineptness. It is not a conspiracy.
      On right wing controlled opposition websites like enenews, alex jones GLP now if you do not accept leuren moret or agenda 21 or right wing politics as gospel you are not antinuclear and get trolled off those website forums.
      People who see the nuclear insanity and fukushima and do not go off on geoengineering boondoggles or farout leren moren fantasies to get the nuclear and fuku word put. Some people at enenews have said that hiroshima and nagasaki were firbombed not nuked. From a big leuren moret minion nuclear power .

      Many supposed teaparty antinucw retired from jobs and have pensions based on the nuclear industry and military industrial complex in the US. They can afford to prattle on about geoeng and bullshit leuren moret propaganda while younger people and others have had to truly suffer the cancer and see kids genetically damaged from when they started open testing bombs in the mid 50s and building nuclear power plants everywhere in the 60s and dumping nuclear waste everywhere too. Nuclear madness is not a planned culling of the human race it is the end of our genome and every other living thing

  13. ok maybe she’s not just full of shit, found this http://www.springerlink.com/content/r75v88151407100k/ and this http://www.springerlink.com/content/v0q0217745017p13/ on google scholar, so she must have done some work on dust like she says.
    I still need convincing about her claims of harassment, perhaps that’s unfair but I need more than just her say-so. Anything more than just the same statement repeated in every interview.
    I want her to be sincere, at least, whether her views are right or wrong, she is very charismatic.

    If nuclear power plants that are unprofitable or scheduled to close are replaced w/natural gas or coal, #GlobalWarming emissions will rise. Temporary financial support may be necessary, given it comes w/strong safety standards and support for renewables. act.ucsusa.org/2PkHJA4

    The union of concerned scientists wants nuclear reactors in america kept open, to fight climate change, it says.

    They will not investigate how the the millions on tons of nuclear waste in our oceans , atmosphere, and soil already effects the geo-chemical balances of the the atmosphere and the ocean. Radionuclides are the moat potent chemical catalysts and toxic substances on earth. Billions of times mre potent than any comperable free radical chemical propagators like ozone . Billions of times more toxic than even the worst heavy metal poisons like meyhyl mercury or alykylator mustards that crosslink and destroy dna or things like agent oranage . Billions of times more potent than targeted poisons, like sarin.
    Radionuclides kill oxygen generating organisms on land and at sea en masse in bareley measurable concentrations.

    Radionuclides act as catalyists that are billions to trillions of times more potent, in catalyzing reactions that cause free radicals and oxidative degeneration in the ocean and at the atmosphere. A few atoms can catalyze a billion chemical reactions that are life and biosphere threatening in deadly cascades of thousands of chemical reactions.

    Radionuclides also the poison the very fragile biochemistry that gives us life.

    No safe place to put all the icredibly-dangerous nuclear waste, already produced in reactors on this planet.

    These frikin corrupt creeps sat the Union of Unconcerned sociopaths, want to keep them open to make more radionuclide waste.

    When there is a cesium/strontium/zirconium/plutonium/uranium/cobalt60 fuel rod fire and or another nuclear reactor-explosion, meltdown fire, what will the Union of Unconcerned Shitheads say then? Sorry we helped kill everyone and everything on the planet?

    The atavistic science types at USC, will not reply to critical email.
    They will delete comments on their site juast as evil monley nucleoapes like Rod Adams do. Complicit-criminal nucleoapes in this horrific infamy.

    Tbey are either too bribed and bought-off, to continue to push for the renewable revolution in the world or, they are insufferable-criminal cowards of the worst type!

  19. i’m from Mongolia and my family still live as a traditional nomads moving around the gobi desert with the animals where French company named Areva exploiting our land and water, corrupting every level of government units. In the recent years my community facing huge danger of loosing our animals to unidentifiable diseases, their internal organs are infected, to turn greenish, yellow and dying. We need urgent help, our government is not listening!

  20. I wish there had been detente in Ukraine to avoid the bloodshed. If there had been a genuine intention between USA and Russia to negotiate in good faith, all this present war situation could have been avoided. Where is the UN in all this ? … the UN is an utterly hopeless ineffective organisation at keeping peace. Even in respect of the Japanese proposing to dump millions of tonnes of partially treated contaminate water into the Pacific Ocean (ruining the Pacific Ocean’s marine biosphere), the IAEA (part of the UN) has said that “… it is a local decision of the Japanese government”. In other words, the IAEA is so utterly ineffective and useless that it cannot even give basic advice when confronted with a real challenging problem.
