SUMMARY: This declaration is based in large measure on my book, Carbon - Free and Nuclear - Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy, as well as on research that I have done since that time up to the time of preparing this declaration.

My answer to the narrowed question: • Identify adaptation policies that can be implemented to reduce impacts of extreme weather events (which will happen with or without greenhouse driven global warming) • Research on nuclear energy to reduce the stigma of nuclear generation, e.g., fast reactors (Generation 4 reactors) or thorium fueled.

Drawing on case studies of past environmental debates such as those over acid rain and ozone depletion, science policy experts Roger Pielke Jr. and Daniel Sarewitz argue that once next generation technologies are available that make meaningful action on climate change lower - cost, then much of the argument politically over scientific uncertainty is likely to diminish.26 Similarly, research by Yale University's Dan Kahan and colleagues suggest that building political consensus on climate change will depend heavily on advocates for action calling attention to a diverse mix of options, with some actions such as tax incentives for nuclear energy, government support for clean energy research, or actions to protect cities and communities against climate risks, more likely to gain support from both Democrats and Republicans.

Several sensitivity cases prepared for EIA's Annual Energy Outlook 2018 (AEO2018) show the potential effects on the U.S. nuclear power fleet of different assumptions for natural gas prices, potential carbon policies, and nuclear power plant operating costs.

«Today's announcement is another powerful signal of just how bleak the outlook for nuclear in the United States is, a result of a hollowed - out nuclear industry, cheap gas, falling renewable costs and inadequate policies to account for the climate change costs of carbon emissions,» said Jason Bordoff, director of the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy.

Editor's note: On January 8, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rejected the Department of Energy's proposed policy of guaranteeing the profits of coal and nuclear power plants in parts of the US.

I have focussed on the real energy fraud that the claim climate change = CO2 from humans supports, hence the easy money climate change protection racket of renewable energy policy = unsustainable without fossil and nuclear, in scsience fact.

Thus it makes pragmatic sense to me to focus our attention on a medium term adaption policy, whilst investing heavily in cleaner cheap sources of baseload energy, such as thorium fission and gen4 fission reactors and, in the slightly longer term, nuclear fusion reactors.

We can not possible develop an energy policy that works for the public, if leaders of the scientific community — like John Holdren, Ralph Cicerone, Steven Chu, Lisa Jackson, and Charles Bolden — continue to ignore and refuse to discuss the information recorded in nuclear rest data that were published in numerous peer - reviewed articles * and on the front cover of the ACS Symposium Noble Laureate Glenn T. Seaborg and I organized in 1999: http://tinyurl.com/3yvexl

Energy Secretary Rick Perry has directed his department to conduct a wide - ranging study of the U.S. electric grid, with a particular emphasis on recent coal and nuclear plant closures and whether environmental policies may be driving them.

Flannery was highly critical of Australian energy policies, and some of his positions on global warming were controversial, including his insistence that nuclear energy be considered as an alternative to coal - fired power plants in populous areas without renewable sources of energy.

The energy policies proposed by Republican front - runners Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich favor increased reliance on domestic coal, oil, gas, and nuclear.

The results should emerge soon, but in its evidence to the Select Committee, Scottish and Southern Electricity plc said that, while shale gas was a viable if relatively small option for the UK (compared to the US), «there is a concern that with limited capital for investment in the energy industry, significant development of policy incentives to encourage development of shale gas resources in the UK, alongside uncontrolled growth in gas - fired generation could decrease investor certainty on UK policy direction towards renewables, CCS and / or nuclear.

From the standpoint of climate policy, it would seem nuclear's carbon - free energy should be showing up on the grid.
