93 One Liner Lies of the Nuclear Cartel

Classic One Liner Lies of Nuke

combomelt, from ENE used my list to create an awesome video, please watch it and drop a comment,


Well I added another one liner lie.    Rod Adams helped me find this lie when one of his twitter buddies did a post on how  solar energy never has a chance for the  future because making the solar energy devices takes more energy than they produce in their lifetime.   Wow, the levels these pimps will stoop to to promote their 'precious' nuclear radiation cartel.

The reality is that for PV panels, it takes about 6 months of energy production of the device in order to offset the energy used in producing the device.    And the lifetime is at least 30 years.

The lie in one liner form
"Solar Energy has no future because it takes more energy to create the solar system, than the solar system produces in it's lifetime"

You can probably use the search function to find some backup to each of these lies of nuclear.    When someone, be it media, a research organization, a government speaker, whoever, starts pimping out one of these lies, then you can start reading their material in a new, more suspicious light.

As a future project, I intend on following each sentence with a link to a concise debunk of each of these lies.    Its like shooting fish in a barrel.   Anyone who wants to volunteer a link and debunk, send as a comment.  

As you folks come across other nice One Liners, drop them as comments and I will add to the list.

I apologize to some contributors who listed their comments on other sites...while do multiple updates, some of my earliest started updates, "covered up" subsequent updates!  Sheesh, I hate is when that happens.    Maybe I'll just ask the NSA for an interim archive version, LOL!
    And last, but not least, we get some some quality rhetoric and wisdom from the latest troll infesting ENENEWS and here----laughable.    At least socref could pretend to be civilized.

    And try saying that to say, a Grizzly Bear, or perhaps, Leukemia.      What doesn't kill you sometimes just makes you weaker...that  is the way that radiation works.

    10. Whenever they want, they just raise the acceptable levels. They always use cesium as a reference. They always refer to dose, in other words, external irradiation, but never injestion. Even if transuranics were not radioactive, they are still highly toxic heavy metals.
      And you wouldnt get me to injest 1/10th of a gram of any of them. As for cost:
      Figure in mining, enrichment, transport, security, storage, not to mention waste management, cause there is none, and watt for watt nuclear is the most expensive by far.
      To be fair, "A nuclear reactor cannot explode like a nuclear bomb" is accurate.
      By several orders of magnitude. I do not accept Arnies "prompt criticality" theory. However, #3 certainly suffered a high velocity explosion. Something neither steam nor hydrogen can do.
      So....

    30. To be fair, there is a small downside to solar.
      You need to clean the panels daily for maximum charge generation.

    38. In regards to space travel beyond Sol's asteroid belt beyond Mars, and upcoming increases in Cosmic Radiation due to Solar magnetic field weakening:

      Quote: "Only nuke power can save us from radiation"
      ...
      "The only astronauts who have ever been further from Earth than this were the Apollo moon explorers of the 1960s and 70s, and they went only on brief missions, carefully timed to reduce radiation risks."

      This relates to the "time to 3 per cent Risk of Exposure Induced Death (REID)"

      http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/22/the_sun_has_changed_in_a_way_weve_never_seen_mars_trips_may_be_off/

      This type of commentary can be expected from the pro-"nukular" staff at the Reg, in my humble opine, though. Often, such commentary from that source is just plain wrong, imho.

      Quote: "ESA demonstrates - we can do it with solar

      At the distance at which Rosetta will encounter Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, or at which Juno will be doing experiments involving Jupiter or ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer will work, energy from the Sun is but a small fraction of what it is on Earth.

      Still, it can be effectively utilized for power generation, the ESA declares - because even in the remote outer solar system, there's still enough sunlight to power the smart solar cells it developed for the purpose:

      "The solar cells in Rosetta's solar panels are based on a completely new technology, so-called Low-intensity Low Temperature Cells. Thanks to them, Rosetta is the first space mission to journey beyond the main asteroid belt relying solely on solar cells for power generation.

      "Previous deep-space missions used nuclear RTGs, radioisotope thermal generators. The new solar cells allow Rosetta to operate over 800 million kilometres from the Sun, where levels of sunlight are only 4% those on Earth. The technology will be available for future deep-space, such as ESA's upcoming Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer.""

    40. Folks, IP addresses are public and *must be* public for the Internet to work. "IP" itself means "Internet Protocol".
      An IP address *must* be sent along so that the receiver IP can reply to the sender IP.
      Most ISP's have a pool of addresses they can use to attach a subscriber to the Internet. It's first-come-first-served, and typically an ISP "recycles" IP addresses when a subscriber logs out. IP addresses are rare at the moment, and a dedicated IP is expensive.

      Of course "http://www.aaronkellylaw.com/contact-us/" doesn't resolve. Only "aaronkellylaw.com" can resolve. That's their *domain name*, as in DNS (Domain Name Services), which is how the Internet maps English names to 32-bit IP addresses.

      aaronkellylaw.com resolves just fine. It's from Wild West Domains. It's name servers are NS1.WIREDTREE.COM ad NS2.WIREDTREE.COM.

      Try using whois.com ...

      This short DNS lesson brought to you by Dave. We will now resume your regularly scheduled content.

      -- thanks,
