NASA predicts Megadroughts

Dumb fuck, it was not private enterprise that gave us the present nukes. Not private enterprise that built the great hydro-electric system that has served this nation so well. Not private enterprise that delivered electricity to the rural areas in this nation. It was not private enterprise that funded the Corp of Discovery, or the transcontinental railroad.

As usual - you are spewing idiocy with zero fact.

{Westinghouse designed the first fully commercial PWR of 250 MWe, Yankee Rowe, which started up in 1960 and operated to 1992. }

History of Nuclear Energy

You fucking retard.

{The world’s first hydro-electric project was used to power a single lamp in the Cragside country house in Northumberland, England, in 1878. Four years later, the first plant to serve a system of private and commercial customers was opened in Wisconsin, USA, - See more at: http://www.hydropower.org/a-brief-history-of-hydropower#sthash.JG6X75AA.dpuf}

You drooling fucking hack.

Have you EVER posted anything that wasn't made up? Ever?
 
Once the atomic fusion reaction is sustainable, controllable, and technology available fusion based energy will transform the world.


True, but we are no closer to creating fusion than we were 50 years ago, The cases of open and outright fraud in the last decade have set research back considerably. I blame the fraud in fusion research on the AGW fucks - once fraud became the standard for getting government grants, it would be naive to think that other researches wouldn't lie and falsify data the way the AGW scumbags do.

I see. Then name the company that built Hoover Dam, Bonneville, and the Grand Coulee. As far as the nukes go, no private insurer would ever touch them, therefore they needed government coverage to build. And government funds.
 
US Nuclear Power Policy Nuclear Energy Policy USA

Energy Policy Act 2005

After much preliminary debate, the Energy Policy Act 2005 comfortably passed both houses (74-26 in the Senate and 275-156 in the House). It included incentives for the domestic nuclear power industry, including:

  • Production tax credit of 1.8 or 2.1 ¢/kWh from the first 6,000 MWe of new nuclear capacity in their first eight years of operation (the same rate as available to wind power on an unlimited basis).
  • Federal risk insurance of $2 billion to cover regulatory delays in full-power operation of the first six advanced new plants.
  • Rationalised tax on decommissioning funds (some reduced).
  • Federal loan guarantees for advanced nuclear reactors or other emission-free technologies up to 80% of the project cost.
  • Extension for 20 years of the Price Anderson Act for nuclear liability protection.
  • Support for advanced nuclear technology.
Also $1.25 billiona was authorised for an advanced high-temperature reactor (Next Generation Nuclear Plant) to be built by 2021a at the Idaho National Laboratory, capable of cogenerating hydrogen. Overall more than $2 billion was provided for hydrogen demonstration projects. See later section on NGNP.

In 2006, it was spelled out that the 6000 MWe eligible for production tax credits would be divided pro-rata among those applicants which filed combined construction and operating licence (COL) applications by the end of 2008, which commence construction of advanced plants by 2014, and which enter service by 2021.

In October 2007, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced that it would guarantee the full amount of loans covering up to 80% of the cost of new clean energy projects including advanced nuclear power plants under the 2005 Energy Policy Act. The first round of loan guarantees went to renewable energy and advanced gas (e.g.integrated gasification combined cycle) projects, those for nuclear then still had to be authorised by Congress.

The Act also addressed climate change, requiring action on a national strategy to address the issue. In 2008, the USA emitted 5.8 billion tonnes of CO2 from energy use

Nuclear costs the taxpayer more than wind or solar. Just a fact for you stupid 'Conservatives'. And then you have the waste to get rid of.

I never said government didn't barge in - you made the stupid claim that "without government.."

You're an idiot - a statest hack who spews fantastical bullshit with no grasp of facts. You do this with the AGW idiocy as well, you yearn for a dictatorship so you spew the most absurd idiocy in hopes of creating fear that will make others turn to a ruler to save them.
 
Obama's NASA just put a satellite to Pluto, one right now examining Ceres, and the Mars
Rovers are still sending back data far past their expected lifespan. People like you are so fucking stupid.

So NASA under Obama built a satellite, launched it and put it in orbit around Pluto?

Is this what you are claiming?

{New Horizons is a NASA space probe launched to study the dwarf planetPluto, its moons and one or two other Kuiper belt objects, depending on which are in position to be explored. Part of the New Frontiers program, the mission was approved in 2001 after cancellation of Pluto Fast Flyby and Pluto Kuiper Express. The mission profile was proposed by a team led by principal investigator Alan Stern of Southwest Research Institute. After several delays on the launch site,New Horizons was launched on January 19, 2006 from Cape Canaveral, }

New Horizons - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

So, this was a BUSH program and you just lied - because you are a fucking liar....

Gee, what a surprise...
 
But the market will have the renewables in place much sooner. As wind is already cheaper than dirty coal, and solar will be before President Obama passes the baton to the next President. And the states that are jumping on the bandwagon with their utilities spending and installing the most wind and solar are those bastions of liberal thought, Texas and Oklahoma.
yeah, what's that timeline look like?
 
Nevertheless, the government spends tens of billions of dollars every year on "alternative energy." the money would be better spent on fusion research.

That's like claiming highway funds should be shifted into teleportation research.

You can only push technology a little bit with cash. You can't make a fantasy suddenly happen, and thinking you can force fusion with cash is absurd.

Right, like we didn't make the atom bomb happen by throwing cash at it . . . . . er, no, wait . . we did do that.

It's hysterical that turds like you think we can't speed up the development of fusion, but throwing cash at wind and solar will make them economical.

I know you don't see the contradiction there. That would require the ability to commit logic.
