I wish I could attend Jessika Trancik's lecture tomorrow at the Andlinger Center for Energy...

5. Well, I agree with one statement.

Curve projections are brain dead, so much so as to be useless.

The most frequently used brain dead evocation about so called "renewable energy" is that it's growth is "exponential."

As for guessing what will happen, one never goes wrong betting on stupidity, but we don't need to be stupid; we choose to be.

From a purely engineering and ethical standpoint nuclear energy should be a "no brainer" but unfortunately, people with no brains rule the world, both on the right, and regrettably, on the left.

I've recently been exposed to the quality of the young people now embarking on engineering careers. They are an impressive bunch. At one "accepted engineering students" open house I attended at one of the Universities to which my son was accepted, a student in the audience raised his hand to say, "I'd really like to go here, but I wish you offered a degree in nuclear engineering."

It was so wonderful, I wanted to cry.

I have hope that they, this coming generation, who will pay the price for our ignorance, will not be as ignorant as we are.
