Not Lovins nukes	Erik Hoffner	24 Jul 2008	Gristmill
It's not news that Amory Lovins opposes the expansion of nuclear power (unlike Obama and McCain) -- it was gnawed over here at Grist quite a bit. But in case you'd like to hear, rather than read, his arguments against (which are largely economic), then Democracy Now! radio has it all for you here. There's a transcript, too, for you bibliophiles which simply insist on reading.

Nuclear deterrence, part two Lovins and Sheikh defend definition and record of micropower	Guest author	20 Jun 2008	Gristmill
This is a guest essay from Amory B. Lovins and Imran Sheikh of the Rocky Mountain Institute. It is part two of a series; see part one here. ----- Part two of David Bradish's critical look at 'The Nuclear Illusion' (PDF) raises two additional issues to which we respond here. As in his first critique, it appears that, unable to rebut and hence unwilling to address our paper's data and logic, Mr. Bradish must content himself with trying to manufacture an illus ...

Nuclear debate Lovins v. Richter	David Roberts	08 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Energy guru Amory Lovins and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Burton Richter face off, mano a mano, debating the merits of nuclear energy for addressing the climate crisis. MongaBay offers a blow-by-blow account. No one will be shocked to hear that I would call the bout for Lovins, though it was far from a TKO.

Is nuclear power green? CSM investigates	David Roberts	07 Mar 2007	Gristmill
Mark Clayton at the Christian Science Monitor looks into it. This describes my position quite well: But for those energy experts who have done life-cycle analysis of nuclear power, the big concern is that policymakers may be misled into believing that just because nuclear CO2 emissions are low, the cost of nuclear as an option to address climate change would be a bargain. Better, they say, to take the huge amounts of money needed for nuclear plants and use it ...
