Research reveals interesting information about nuclear power
(The Daily News of Newburyport: Thu, 15 Mar) Thanks to all of you who directed me to where I could find the text of the "State of the Union Address 2007." It is there on the Internet for all to see that Mr. Bush made no mention of nuclear energy being renewable.

A Step Toward Inexpensive Geothermal Energy
(Science Daily: Fri, 16 Mar) In the debate over alternative energy resources, geothermal technology has received scant media attention. Advocates call it one of the cleanest, sustainable energy resources available. However, steep construction, equipment and drilling costs have prevented more widespread development of geothermal technology. An Ohio University hydrothermal systems expert is working to change that.

EU To Detail Shared Renewable Energy Aims By Year End-Official
(Nasdaq: Wed, 14 Mar) STRASBOURG, France (AP)-The European Commission will work out details by the end of the year of how European Union member states will share the target of producing 20% of the bloc's power through renewable energy by 2020, an official said Wednesday.

Japan: Nuclear Reactor Cover-up
(New York Times: Fri, 16 Mar) A nuclear power plant operator, the Hokuriku Electric Power Company, shut down a reactor in central Ishikawa Prefecture for inspection after it admitted that it had covered up a 15-minute uncontrollable nuclear chain reaction in 1999.

FRANCE MAKES PROGRESS AT EU SUMMIT ON NUCLEAR ENERGY
(The Tocqueville Connection: Fri, 09 Mar) BRUSSELS, March 9, 2007 (AFP) - France was making progress at the European Union summit in getting nuclear power recognised as one way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, according to a draft statement obtained on Friday.

Is the future of renewable energy up in the air?
(The News Journal: Mon, 12 Mar) A study by Australian, American and Canadian scientists suggests that high-altitude wind power could provide a major source of renewable energy in years to come. Their paper - in the March 1 edition of the journal IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion - provides detailed technical specifications for a prototype flying wind turbine that could generate far more energy than a ground-based turbine. ...
