Behind the News Fluff on Energy

There are major decisions that will shape our lives forever, in some cases. These things get shoved into the dark recesses on what is sarcastically called "The News". By the time we find out about them it is too late and someone has made off with the family chickens and left us with the droppings all over the place to clean up.

Little things like nuclear waste forever left onsite at phased out nuclear reactors. Nobody would have bought into nukes in the first place if we had been told something like this was going to happen. Most of Europe is abandoning nuclear power for this very reason...that and that Chernobyl thing.

Like the fact that NJ Gove Chris Christie drove the negotiations behind the scenes with Mond polluter Exxon, in order to let them off the hook to the tune of $8.5 billion in yet another energy related environmental disaster. Wouldn't we all like t ay our fines to the tune of 3 cents on the dollar? 

Here's the morning energy report with lots of fascinating little items that will not make your evening news cast.

 Here's the Friday report, including the part where Chris Christie calls any criticism of his secret deals to give Exxon Mobile billions of dollars off their pollution settlement, "Baldly political".
