US Nuclear Energy Foundation "Evangelizing Nuclear Advocacy by Bringing Science to Citizens"

A shock to our nuclear advocacy, we 
Attend Harry Reid's Clean Energy Summit 5.0
 You "may" consider it a shock to see that
a new post on our home page supports
renewable energy 100%, providing it can
achieve cost competitive productivity,
Sustainability & safety!

Like it or not, the end game in energy is to drive down its cost to compete with a world industrial manufacturing market. The "information age"
has electrocuted our industrial manufacturing ability.

These are simple requirements that EVERY energy producer must attain as a viable player in our crucial supply of energy to society. Energy is a critical part of the equation for industrial manufacturing and we need to recover this market.

The top post on our website, "Renewable Energy is a global necessity!" is the content of a two sided vertical postcard we distributed at this Summit.

Let's not bicker, let's work together and get there quicker!
All-Source Clean Energy Parks

You can visit the Clean Energy Summit at:


Here are some important observations of the Summit.

Media event more than technical analysis: It seemed that most of the summit was talking points about wind, solar and geothermal energy not technical advancements of the technology. Compared to my attendance at American Nuclear Society conventions which are highly technical, this summit was sparse on actual data sharing.

Empowering consumers with more and better energy choices: This was a dissertation on the implementation of the national energy "smart grid" a method to analyze and manage the national distribution of electrical and other energy sources. Analysis is one thing but "controlling" it is the danger which is not being explained. "BECAUSE" we are NOT building new power sources to "support" growing power demands, "they" will manage power shortages of brownouts, blackouts AND "peak power demands by adjusting prices". In Nevada I have notified NV Energy that "I refuse" the installation of their "smart meter" preferring to stay with the conventional analog system.

This all stems from our government failing to recognize the need for a national initiative to build more than 200 nuclear plants to satisfy the expected growth demand of the next 50 - 100 years. If we don't have the power "generation" we will have to pay much more for the power we "use"! It's not rocket science it's much more dangerous, "politics". Ask anyone about "their" advantages of using "smart meters" to conserve their energy . . . if you turn it OFF it works!

Fireside chat with President Bill Clinton and John Podesta: This dialogue was also basically a "closed session" where they reviewed the dialogue of clean energy but there was no audience participation. At the ANS conventions the panels allow questions from the audience which provides a good apolitical input source to the topics addressed.

Technology at the vendor booths: This was the promising portion of this event. There are some excellent private company developments of lighting, geo and solar thermal systems, liquid metal battery technology. These vendors continue to demonstrate that private development is still a viable factor in the clean energy marketplace.

The exciting presence, NIREC and YPE Nevada

Another exciting presence was the (NIREC) Nevada Institute for Renewable Energy Commercialization and YPE Nevada, (Young Professionals in Energy). We firmly believe in our little memo: Let's not bicker, let's work together and get there quicker! All-Source Clean Energy Parks. We know it's not easy but we must educate and bring young people to understand that NUCLEAR is clean energy and we must further the concept of "All-Source Clean Energy Parks" we need all the energy NOT the bickering!

Our visit to the Clean Energy Summit was impromptu but we think very important. Please help offset these expenses
by sending along $25, $50 or $100
