understands that the results of this poll were intended to challenge the findings of a recent poll commissioned by the Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament that showed a decisive 75 % majority of the Scottish public is against both the cost and the reasoning behind the UK Government's intention to keep all of its nuclear weapons stationed in Scotland; understands that, while Lord Ashcroft conducted the poll to supposedly show that «more than half of Scots are in favour of nuclear weapons», the poll showed that only 37 % of Scots believe so in principle, compared with 48 % who do not; questions the integrity of a poll that, it understands, was privately paid for by a wealthy Tory backer; considers that Lord Ashcroft is spinning the results, and believes that he should stop doing so and accept what it considers the fact proven time and again that Scots want rid of nuclear weapons.nuclear weapons in Scotland commissioned by Lord Ashcroft;

As a result, despite periodic energy price spikes caused by disruptive world events and about $ 50 billion (in real terms) in energy R&D funding since 1978, the United States has made only steady incremental progress in developing and deploying advanced renewable, coal, and nuclear technologies that can compete with conventional energy technologies.

The nation's first ZEC programs began in New York and Illinois and require load - serving entities (e.g. electric utilities) to purchase ZECs from specified, in - state nuclear facilities (note: only certain nuclear units in New York and Illinois qualify).
Plaintiffs, led by the Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA), argued that ZECs preempt the FPA because they are «tethered» to wholesale auctions; and, that ZECs violate the dormant Commerce Clause because they are only offered to a limited number of in - state nuclear facilities, disadvantaging out - of - state nuclear plants.
So let's just agree to subtract it out as completely irrelevant to a discussion of thermodynamics, unless the «air» in question is inside the core of a star that is in the peculiar state where it is fusing oxygen and nitrogen or sometimes fissioning them with fast neutrons (the only processes I can think of that might change their baseline mass - energy by altering their strong nuclear interaction energy).
