Bad news’: radiation spikes 16 times above normal after forest fire near Chernobyl

The Guardian Oil & Gas Publishers Note: While Chernobyl is the world’s worst nuclear disaster, it is unfair to blow off the entire nuclear power generation programs. There has to be a balance between nuclear, renewable, and fossil fuels. The right balance in the energy mix can be done with  ecology considerations, while reducing cost to the consumer.   The

EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2020 projects consumption growing more slowly than production

EIA The AEO2020 Reference case projects domestic energy demand to grow 0.3% per year on average through 2050, slower than the average annual growth of 1.9% in U.S. gross domestic product. This projection is largely driven by continued increases in energy efficiency in the end-use sectors The AEO2020 Reference case, which serves as a baseline for exploring the effects of
