The announcement that Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) will close the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant when its current operating licenses expire in 2025 has caused what can only be described as consternation mixed with occasional conniptions…
Jeremy Jackson calls it "The Rise of Slime". Daniel Pauly sees a future in jellyfish burgers. And given that this week is the 2nd International Jellyfish Bloom Symposium--where D. Pauly will deliver the keynote address (having not been able to attend the 1st symposium in Alabama in 2002)--it…
This is bad news and good news, but mostly good news. No matter what you think of nuclear energy (and I'm one of those people who give it a stern look and remain suspicious), it does tend to produce electricity with the addition of much less fossil carbon into the atmosphere than, say, burning…
The decision by PG&E to mothball the last operating nuclear reactors in California has some people cheering—and other pounding their fists. On Significant Figures, Peter Gleick writes that the closure of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant "rankles those who see all non-carbon energy sources as…
M. Night Shyamalan was right! Nature's taking over!
Moon jellies? At first I thought you meant Moon Pies. I guess the former makes more sense.McCain mocks nuclear safety
Yes, I bet McCain didn't hear about this. Hilariously, he visited a nuke recently to extol the virtues of nucular and how safe and great it is, and he chose the Fermi reactor, which'd melted down in 1966 or something when they were testing fast breeder technology. Can't believe it's still in service.
My first thought was Homer Simpson and jelly donuts.
Was it jelly, jam, or Polaner All-Fruit? Accuracy is important here.
