GOP Presidential candidate John McCain's ambitious plan to build 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030 as a means to combat global warming and add juice to the power grid is a policy ripped from the Bush administration's failed National Energy Policy, first introduced by Vice President Dick Cheney during the height of the California energy crisis seven years ago.
At a time when public awareness surrounding renewable energy resources, the devastating effects of global warming and the importance of conservation is at an all-time high, the Bush administration has steered tens of billions in taxpayer dollars toward revamping the dormant nuclear power industry, touting it as the only proven technology to combat climate change.
One of the cornerstones of President Bush's National Energy Policy, released in May 2001, was "the expansion of nuclear energy in the United States as a major component of our national energy policy."
"We have [an] opportunity to increase our supplies of electricity. To meet projected demand over the next two decades, America must have in place between 1,300 and 1,900 new electric plants. Much of this new generation will be fueled by natural gas. However, existing and new technologies offer us the opportunity to expand nuclear generation as well. Nuclear power today accounts for 20 percent of our country's electricity. This power source, which causes no greenhouse gas emissions, can play an expanding part in our energy future," the energy policy says.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Bush's energy policy was largely written by corporate executives, such as the now defunct Enron Corp., and industry lobbyists during a series of meetings convened by Cheney in early 2001. When Enron imploded in a wave of accounting scandals later that year documents surfaced showing that the company played a role in helping Cheney draft the energy policy. Documents obtained by the Washington Post last July show that several officials from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), a powerful industry lobby, met with Cheney at least twice in March 2001.
Last year, NEI spent $680,000 during the first half of 2007, according to a disclosure form posted online August 13 by the Senate's public records office, lobbying the White House, Congress, the Department of Energy, and other federal agencies, to drum up support for nuclear energy as an alternative to the fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gasses. Cheney's longtime friend, Tom Loeffler, a former lobbyist and Republican congressman, represented the NEI Loeffler's former aide, Nancy Dorn, worked as a Congressional liaison for Cheney, and later became a lobbyist for General Electric.
The lobbying appears to have paid off. In a series of speeches last year, Vice President Cheney and Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said that reviving the nuclear power industry would be a long-term solution to the country's increasing thirst for electricity and a way to address global warming.
Last year, the Energy Department undertook a massive public relations effort, expected to continue until the end of 2008, to promote nuclear energy as the new "green" energy.
In a speech at a nuclear power conference held last October at the Howard Baker Center for Public Policy at the University of Tennessee, Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman said nuclear energy is "safe, clean and reliable. And, for the foreseeable future, it is the only mature, emissions-free technology that can supply the power America will need to meet the projected increase in demand for electricity over the next 25 years. This is one of the reasons we have put so much emphasis on bringing about a nuclear renaissance here in the United States."
Before being tapped as Energy Secretary, Bodman ran a chemical company, Cabot Corporation that spent years on the top five lists of the country's worst polluters. In 1997 alone, Cabot was responsible for the 54,000 tons of toxic emissions his company's refineries released into the atmosphere. Cabot was identified as the fourth-largest source of toxic emissions in Texas. Cabot is the world's largest producer of industrial carbon black, a byproduct of the oil refinery process. Bodman is the wealthiest official in the Bush administration. His net worth is estimated to be between $42 million and $164 million, the bulk of it in Cabot stock, deferred compensation, and other benefits.
In a speech Wednesday, McCain said he would adopt the Bush administration's policy on nuclear power as his own.
"If I am elected president, I will set this nation on a course to building 45 new reactors by the year 2030, with the ultimate goal of 100 new plants to power the homes and factories and cities of America," McCain said during a campaign stop in Missouri.
A study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2003, "The Future of Nuclear Power," disagreed with Bodman's analysis. It said even with volatile natural gas prices and a wildly fluctuating market, the cost of producing electricity from nuclear power plants is still 20 percent more expensive than electricity produced from gas-fired power plants, and 60 percent more expensive than electricity produced from a coal-fired power plant.
McCain has made a point of distinguishing his policies as dramatically different from President George W. Bush. However, key aspects of McCain's energy policy unveiled Wednesday are nearly identical to the Bush administration's plan, specifically, McCain's stance on nuclear energy.
In fact, one of McCain's advisers on energy policy has been David Conover, the former principal deputy assistant secretary office of policy and international affairs at the Department of Energy.
Conover briefed members of Congress in July 2005 on the Bush administration's plan of reviving the dormant nuclear power industry to deal with the threat of climate change, a position McCain has embraced.
"Concerns over... climate change suggest a larger role for nuclear power as an energy supply choice," Conover told the Committee on Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Subcommittee on Global Climate Change and Impacts in testimony July 20, 2005. "The Nuclear Power 2010 program is working with industry to demonstrate the Nuclear Regulatory Commission`s new licensing process."
The NP2010 has been one of Cheney's pet energy projects. Officials in the Energy Department told the vice president has worked on the project with a relatively unknown administration official, Deputy Energy Secretary Clay Sell. Before being sworn in as deputy energy secretary in March 2005, Sell, a lawyer whose roots extend to Bush's home state of Texas, was a White House lobbyist working on energy issues. He had also participated in secret meetings with Cheney's Energy Task Force and has worked closely with David Conover, McCain's energy adviser.
According to the Department of Energy's web site, NP2010 was launched in 2002, and "is a joint government/industry cost-shared effort that can help provide solutions to meet future base load energy demand and address climate change. Specifically, NP2010 seeks to: demonstrate new, untested processes for licensing reactors in the United States; identify sites for new nuclear power plants, complete first-of-a-kind engineering of new reactor designs; develop and bring to market advanced nuclear plant technologies, and evaluate the business case for building new nuclear power plants."
Last September, Princeton-based NRG Energy Inc., having emerged from bankruptcy proceedings, became the first company in 30 years to submit an application to build two new General Electric-designed nuclear reactors at its Bay City, Texas, nuclear power plant facility. NRG's former president, David Peterson, traveled to Washington on two occasions in 2001 to help Cheney's Energy Task Force shape the country's energy policy, according to government records.
Prior to NRG's application, there had not been a filing for a new nuclear power plant in the United States since before the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor meltdown three decades ago.
NRG Chief Executive David Crane told investors last year that massive federal tax incentives and federal loan guarantees, a move McCain supports, included in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 was the deciding factor in steering the company toward the $6 billion nuclear project.
"The whole reason we started down this path was the benefits written into the [Energy Policy Act] of 2005," Crane said.
That legislation called for upwards of $125 million in annual tax credits for a nuclear plant, in addition to loan guarantees that would cover about 80 percent of construction costs. Furthermore, the federal government provided $2 billion in risk insurance for application costs, thereby protecting energy companies in the event they would not be able to finance a nuclear project due to regulatory obstacles.
The federal loan program automatically requires taxpayers to cover any defaults on the loans. In a February 2007 report to Congress, the Government Accountability Office said failure to properly account for default risks in the loan program was one factor that "could result in substantial financial costs to the taxpayer."
A 2003 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report said the risk of utilities defaulting on loans for new nuclear plants is "very high - well above 50 percent."
Last October, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation's largest public power provider, also filed an application with the NRC for a license to construct and operate two new nuclear power reactors in northern Alabama using General Electric's Westinghouse AP1000 reactor units. The application was filed under the banner of NuStart Energy, LLC, a consortium of electric utilities that joined together in 2004 to test the NRC's streamlined nuclear reactor licensing program. The licensing costs were paid for by the federal government under an Energy Department program called Nuclear Power 2010 (NP2010), to promote construction of new nuclear power plants.
Sell, the Deputy Energy Secretary, said TVA's application was a "a monumental step toward the rebirth of nuclear power in the United States."
Members of the NuStart consortium include: Constellation Energy, Duke Energy, EDF International North America, the US subsidiary of the French electric utility, Entergy Nuclear, Exelon Generation, Florida Power & Light Company, Progress Energy, South Carolina Electric & Gas, Southern Company and Tennessee Valley Authority, Knoxville, Tennessee.
With the exception of Progress Energy, South Carolina Electric Gas & Light and EDF International, all of these companies participated in meetings with Cheney's Energy Task Force and advised the vice president on energy policy. Additionally, these corporations have said publicly they intend to file applications for nuclear reactor licenses before the end of 2008, the deadline to receive billions of dollars in federal subsidies and tax credits. The NRC says it expects to receive as many as 21 applications to build 32 new reactors before the end of 2008, with most, if not all, expected to go online in 2015.
Jon Block, nuclear energy and climate change project manager for the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), said one of the problems with constructing new nuclear facilities is how to dispose of nuclear waste.
"In over 50 years of operating experience, the nuclear industry still has not managed to solve the problems of safety, security, and disposal of highly dangerous radioactive waste," said . "Until that happens, we're much better off investing in safer, cleaner energy sources such as renewable wind, geothermal, tidal, and solar projects."
The Department of Energy, the agency largely responsible for monitoring nuclear waste, submitted an application to the NRC to build a repository at Yucca Mountain, the site of a former nuclear testing ground in Nevada, where the agency has proposed burying the waste deep underground.
McCain supports the idea of storing waste in Yucca Mountain, a move opposed by a majority of Nevadans and one that could cost the Arizona Republican a critical swing state.

Let's all just move away
Let's all just move way! Leave the good ol USA. That solution to energy, water, and environment makes about as much sense as this article. If I understand the author, we should abandon nuclear power because it's a energy/environment solution proposed by Bush/Chaney.
Nuclear power has been with us since the 1950's. Our 100 commercial power plants have been supplying clean energy on a massive scale for 50 years without one loss of life as a result of nuclear causes. This is, by the way, a far better record than either natural gas or coal fired plants. We, as a country, are in desperate need of new power plants and should aggressively be building coal, natural gas, and most of all, nuclear generating capacity. Our aging power plants are in the same shape as our aging gas refineries. Just a hiccup in the on line electric power generation system can cause horrific problems in our cities including death to many of our citizens.
All this "not in my backyard" and "look out, someone might make a profit" and - and is possibly the largest threat to the security and well being of out great country.
It might do Mr. Jon Block and his buddies good to walk through the center of L.A. during the next major electrical outage.
Just so you all know, I'm proud of our President.

NASCAR driver makes donation to St. Mary's Food
PHOENIX — A meaty donation helped ease the stress Thursday of those who are committed to feeding the Valley's hungry.
As part of the Race to End Hunger, Farmland Foods and Richard Petty Motorsports driver Aric Almirola presented St. Mary's Food Bank with a $20,000 check and nearly 43 cases of meat. Almirola drives car number 43.
The donation equals approximately 150,000 meals used to feed the Valley's homeless population.
"Rolling into March, we've gone through a lot of the food that folks donated through the holiday season, so this donation could not come at a better time," said Jerry Brown, director of media relations for the food bank.
The generous donation doesn't change that fact that St. Mary's can still use all the help it can get. According to Brown, 1 in 5 Arizonans and 1 in 4 of the state's children don't know where their next is coming from.
The food bank is looking for food and/or cash donations, along with volunteers who can help pack boxes.

Desirable Properties of an Unconventional Population Control Policy * (RESEARCH NOTES/NOTES DE Recherche) (One (Male) Child Policy)
Canadian Journal of Regional Science 2004, Summer, 27, 2
Canadian Journal of Regional Science
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Abstract A great deal of concern has now been expressed about the authoritarian population control policies adopted by Asian countries such as Vietnam, India, and particularly China. Many of these autocratic policies and certainly the Chinese 'one child policy' have failed in part because the framers of these policies have attempted to unsuccessfully circumvent a long standing cultural desire for male children. Therefore, in this note, we first propose an unconventional population control policy that is sensitive to this cultural desire for male progeny. Next, we show that this policy is desirable because: (i) it is likely to ameliorate the "missing girls" problem, (ii) it leads to an equal proportion of females and males in the overall national population, and (iii) its adoption will eventually result in replacement fertility rates in the nation under study.

Gerhard Becker to Make Plea in Case of L.A. Firefighter's Death
Glenn Allen/LAFD
See our latest here: Architect Gerhard Becker Gets Lenient Sentence In Firefighter's Death.
A German architect who allegedly designed and built a house in a way that led to the death of an L.A. firefighter is scheduled to make a plea in his manslaughter case this morning.

Gerhard Becker, 49, designed the modern home he lived in above Sunset Plaza. On Feb. 16, 2011, it went up in flames in a blaze that fire officials believe likely started in a 15-foot fireplace:

The feature did not have fire stops common to contemporary homes, leading to a ceiling collapse that ultimately killed L.A. Fire Department firefighter/paramedic Glenn Allen, authorities claimed.
According to the city firefighters' union:
During fire suppression efforts, a ceiling collapsed which caused injuries to 11 firefighters and resulted in the death of Firefighter Glenn Allen. Firefighter Allen faithfully served the citizens of Los Angeles for over 36 years.
The Viewsite Drive home's fireplace was built with savings rather than safety in mind, prosecutors allege. A manslaughter conviction would be the first of its kind for an architect in United States history.
View Larger Map
However, given that Becker has indicated he'll take a plea deal, it seems he might be convicted of a lesser charge. We reached out to the L.A. District Attorney's office for clarification but had yet to hear back.
Becker, who is is from Germany and whose family is in Mallorca, Spain, ultimately rebuilt the home and put it on the market for $11 million. He has maintained his innocence, as detailed in Gene Maddaus' March 21 LA Weekly cover story.
Becker via Ted Soqui for LA Weekly
According to the LAFD, he was scheduled to make a plea at 8:30 a.m. today in L.A. Superior Court downtown.
L.A. firefighters and paramedics were expected to show up in uniform.

Any lady would rather behold someone else.
Neither the profile, nor Trey said anything about beauty. Perhaps a suit for false advertising is in order.
Not going to happen Ray!
Actually it is a good idea since once they find out he lies on that they will tell everyone to stay away from Rayray!
To a woman old enough and desperate enough, Ray-Ray would appear young (to an 80 year old), attractive (to a blind 80 year old), and slender (to a 350 lb, blind 80 year old). But would Ray-Ray be realistic enough and desperate enough to accept what his ad would attract?

OVERLAND PARK, KS. (June 14, 2016) - United States Youth Futsal has hired 17 experienced leaders in the U.S. Youth Futsal community to serve as State Directors for the FUTSAL I.D. program.
State Directors will be responsible for delivering FUTSAL I.D. Trials at the local level. The Trials mark an expansion in the successful FUTSAL I.D. Program, increasing opportunities for player identification and coach education across the country.
"Offering State FUTSAL I.D. Trials closer to the players home will provide chances for many more players to participate," said Jon Parry, Executive Director of U.S. Youth Futsal. "Reduced travel and increased convenience will create greater access to the program."
The U.S. Youth FUTSAL I.D. program is designed to identify and develop elite players in the most challenging and competitive environment possible. Top players from each State Trial are invited to participate in the U.S. Youth Futsal National I.D. Camp for three days of training and matches. The best of the best are selected for U.S. Youth Futsal National Teams.
"The State Trial program will have an immediate and lasting impact on the development of youth Futsal players across the country," said Ty Stauffer, U.S. Youth Futsal Director of Coaching. "In addition to improving the player and coach experience locally, it will bring more -- and better -- players into the national pool and onto U.S. Youth Futsal National Teams."
Since its inception in 2013, more than 800 players have participated in FUTSAL I.D. events and 114 players have represented their country internationally in Canada and Costa Rica. The U14, U16 and U18 national teams will travel to Colombia in July 2016.
Most U.S. Youth FUTSAL I.D. State Directors have completed U.S. Youth Futsal coaching courses and also work as local league directors. Additionally, many serve on the U.S. Youth Futsal regional and/or national coaching staff.
"Our newly hired State Directors are among the most knowledgeable futsal trainers and administrators in the United States," said FUTSAL I.D. Director Soorena Farboodmanesh. "Each has an extensive futsal coaching background, advanced coaching certification and has demonstrated a commitment to player development."
The 2016 National I.D. Camp will take place in Kansas City from July 7-9, 2016.

text: How amazing it feels to have received the full 3 points today! I nearly forgot what it felt like... that's what Perrin'll do to you. Though I'm not completely happy that he abandoned us (still have to scrub the scribbled "Scummer" off of my 'Appy 'Arry facemask); I am pleased that he's back - only because he's met the obligations listed on his agenda: 1) take Pompey to Premiership, 2) take Southampton to Champs.. He's on 3) now - keep Pompey in Premiership.

"Un havre de paix a 5mn de Seminyak..."
Notre premier pied a terre en arrivant de France a été a la hauteur de notre espérance ! Tout y était, l'accueil sympathique et bienveillant de la propriétaire, le charme dépaysant du jardin avec les piscines,le personnel charmant et discret. nous étions dans le pavillons Toraja avec vue sur la mer, lever et coucher de soleil rythmais nos journée. Pour ne rien gâcher Corinne a su très bien décorer ses villas en gardant l'esprit balinais lits a baldaquin draps blanc moustiquaires en coton blanc, meubles en bois peint très belle salle de bains plus tout le confort moderne fait de cet endroit un lieu exceptionnel ! et tous cela a deux pas des meilleurs restaurants de Bali et des plus jolies boutiques. je ne saurai plus vous conseiller ce petit éden au coeur de la ruche de seminyak.
"A beautiful island of green and beauty in Seminyak !"
If you want to relax in a secluded area away from traffic but still very close to center, and 50 yards from the beach, this is the place. As soon as you walk in, you are in a different word. Everything has been disigned to make you feel relax.Every villa is also very private and cosy. If you like balinese architechture you will find it there at its best. What a beauty!No suprise.This has been created with passion by Corinne the sparkling owner of this work of art.

"After our stay at fantastic Kembang Desa, Seminyak was the best"
After 12 Days stay at Kembang Desa we ended our Bali adventure at this Villa. Same high standard of beautiful interior and exterior design as well as a very nice garden area well kept. We only stayed two nights before returning to Europé but during this stay we had a very good time. Even though the villa was rather Close to the city area we felt very secure by having our own security guard on the compound. Nice walks on the Beach, pleasant lunches on the beach restaurants. Personell extremely helpful and friendly.

"Wonderful Bali Retreat Villa"
Went on a trip to Bali with friends. First visit for all of us. Found this wonderful villa on the Vrbo website and reserved as it was a beach location. We were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival. Tranquil and beautifully manicured grounds. Sleeping quarters clean, comfortable, and spacious. Staff warm, inviting, and friendly. Set away from main roads and all you have to do to be on the beach is exit complex and walk across bridge. Time their was very comfortable and rejuvenating. I would definitely choose to stay here again.
"Authentic Bali and authentic Luxury!"
Thank you so much for making my trip to Bali amazing!!! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and staying at your villas made it so. My first week at Bungadesa Villa was perfect! Every morning going for a run and swim on the beautiful beach right there, and taking my coffee and breakfast in the little swing by the infinity pool was just heaven. Most evenings I loved to experience Seminyak and Kuta, shopping and nightlife, and would take a short cab ride back home to the peace and quiet of the beautiful villa on the beach. Thank you for organizing horseback riding, and the dive trip to Lembongan was the most incredible diving - better than Belize or the Bahamas! And the drivers you arranged to take me to Ubud and Uluwatu were awesome. Your staff treated me like family and the food was delicious! But the beauty of the architecture and design of your villas, the old world charm mixed with modern amenities, I will never forget! Your pictures really don't do it all justice! Advising me to stay in Bungadesa Villa in Seminyak first, and then to experience the peace and wonder of the black sand beaches of your Villa Kembangdesa, on the beach near Tabanon, was perfect. I ran on the glittering beaches every day and loved swimming in the infinity pool. The views from the cliff amazed me, being surrounded by rice fields, mountains, and the ocean - I can't ever imagine anything more beautiful and stunning! Around every corner, and on every path, was something beautiful to stop and wonder at! Again the architecture and design, beauty and function of these magnificent villas were stunning. And again, your staff was amazing! And it was so easy to explore more of the island with the wonderful drivers your staff arranged! Thank you for making this once in a life trip perfect.

"Heaven of serenity"
I was there in July. When I awoke my first morning at Bungadesa Villa, I felt that I was in the presence of elegance and serenity I had always craved in my life. Everything is perfect and refined into details here. It is located in the most desirable area of the city far from the noise just with Mother Nature and the ocean. Only two steps away from the beach and 10mn away by car from the vivid Seminyak. The staffs are so cheerful that they make you feel part of the family. The cook Nana is accomplished and makes you eat more that you would wish with a big smile. All her food is very fresh and her dishes are delicious and tasty. No fat, only fruits, plenty of fruits, veggies, fish or meat according to your request. In addition, the staffs are all but smile like the owner, Corinne. They are just the mirror of happiness and serenity. I very much recommend the heavenly destination
"Beautiful villas, very nice garden, spectacular staff."
We have been at least 10 times in Bali in the last 10 years, but always stayed in a hotel. This time, with 5 teenagers around, we tried something new. And we loved it. The Villas are very nice, well and thoughtfully decorated, comfortabel, great beds, nice linens,nice towels, everything very tasteful and luxurious. The view is great , the waves in the back, the sound.The garden is so nicely done, we just loved being there. The staff was just great, very ,very good cooks. They made a fantastic Rijstafel for us. Our friends used to live in Indonesia and we had all kinds of indonesian food, made upon request, but also my son wanted a special Mexican dish and it was bought and cooked for us. The houses were clean, well kept and maintenanced. If there was any kind of problem, it was immediately taken care of. The proximity to Seminyak and all its great restaurants and shops is perfect. Just a short drive and you are in the middle of everything. The only drawback is the walk to the beach( not because it is far, it is more the garbage you have to pass), and the beach could be cleaner as well.The waves are spectacular and we took very long , nice walks in both directions.
"Great group holiday"
We had a reunion holiday with friends. There were 11 adults and 8 young children. Bungadesa was just what we were looking for. There was plenty of space to spread out and relax. It was nice to have more than one spot to hang out without having to leave the villa. And with the beautiful breezes and sea views we felt no need to go anywhere else. The food was surprisingly good and the staff very friendly. The beach just a two minute walk away and was an easy trip with kids. It's close enough to Seminyak to get out but we didn't do much of that so I can't say if it's a good location from that perspective. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a group getaway.
"The Best of Bali /Beachfront, lush privacy with all the comforts"
The location is the best..I hear the Ocean when I slept in my Villa.. I walk a 100 ft bamboo bridge over a lagoon and am on the beach. The hotel is on the beach totally private yet has lush gardens like one might expect in the mountains..Its a five minute walk (on the beach) to the best restaurants, spas and clubs. The Owner did not decide to build on every inch of the land..so as a guest it gave a wonderful open feeling. The staff I fell in love with. They would buy my food..(better then five star Chefs) & only charge me for the cost and make whatever I requested..I loved their Balinese cooking. The rooms were beautiful and Balinese with all the modern convenience..I'm going back hopefully soon.

Keep in mind that this is a standard bulldog price. A pup of this bloodline is worth much more. Just needing a quick sale. He will be ready on Sept. 13th. At that time, he will have his first shots, wormed, and vet checked. You can also visit Guinevere's English Bulldog Puppies for more information.
