Time to Count the Carbon: Guest Post by Donb

Pandora's Promise

Yesterday's CNN presentation of Pandora's Promise went very well, with lots of great pro-nuclear comments around the Internet.  I was particularly pleased to see so many pro-nuclear comments on the #pandoraspromise Twitter stream.

Cumberland Power Station
From Wikipedia

One of the fundamental messages of Pandora's Promise is that nuclear power can help to slow climate change.  Nuclear power is the  only abundant, reliable, low-carbon source of electricity.

Counting the Carbon

With that prologue, I go back to the guest posts I promised. There were wonderful comments on We are not Spock: Emotion and Nuclear Power. I am using some of these comments as guest posts on this blog.

Donb's comment was short and to-the-point.

Meredith-
On the day that VY shuts down, you need to start a counter on the ‘Yes VY’ website that shows the extra tons of CO2 being generated because the VY plant is not making its megawatts.

Don B frequently comments on energy blogs.  He always has something relevant and cogent to say.

Steve Aplin of Canadian Energy Issues has a carbon counter on his blog. Actually, he has several. Steve and I are among the few pro-nuclear bloggers that cover just one geographic area.  (Or at least, most of the time we blog about one geographical area.)

I am stealing a screen shot from Canadian Energy Issues to use on my blog. Okay, Steve?  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that?

Meanwhile, all my readers---visit Canadian Energy Issues!
