Experts: U.S. Nuclear Power Faces Higher Costs, Continued Major Challenges in 2012

Give Long-Term Uncontrollable Costs and Short-Term Pressure from Needed Post-Fukushima Safety Regulations, Nuclear Reactors Even Less Able to Take on Natural Gas, Other Alternatives

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - With the Fukushima disaster, earthquake-related reactor shutdowns, further reactor project cost escalation, infighting at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and cheap natural gas, 2011 was a year the nuclear power industry would prefer to get behind it as quickly as possible.

But, looking ahead to 2012, experts see continuing challenges that will make it extremely difficult for the nuclear power industry to expand in the U.S. beyond a small handful of reactor projects...

`Anonymous Us Project` - first story-collective for people involved in reproductive technologies

Currently, there is a shortage of stories from social, non-biological fathers and mothers as well as fertility industry professionals. Perspectives from these two groups are vital in constructing the giant mosaic of truth the project aims to build.

(New York, NY) - The Anonymous Us Project invites anyone involved in reproductive technologies--and especially persons born via these practices--to write about their experiences and opinions anonymously at www.AnonymousUs.org.

Radiated Heat Versus Radiated Energy

Now that the scientists can very clearly see the magnetic loops on the Sun and recognize their importance, many mysteries of Earth and the universe will be resolved.

(SAN DIEGO) - My concept is that the heat and energy of the Sun is the result of the tremendous external magnetic field of the Sun.

It is absolutely impossible for an internal 20 million degree internal heat source of any kind to radiate a 3 million degree temperature to the corona and leave a relatively cool 10,000 degree surface of the Sun between these two awesome temperature extremes.

Is Fluoridation Safe?

About 70 percent of community water systems in the U.S. are treated with fluoride.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Fluoride is the name given to a group of compounds that are composed of the naturally occurring element fluorine and one or more other elements.

Animal Diseases: Time to Expose Really Dangerous Corporate Lies

The diseases scares are lies with tremendous consequences for farmers, for food, for animal diversity, for control of and harm to populations through vaccines.

(PHILADELPHIA) - The Food Modernization and Safety Act empowers DoD and Department of Homeland Security to mass slaughter animals here in the event of an animal disease outbreak.

No need for the disease to be dangerous, or even exist. A declaration by the CDC is enough for military to roll out and begin killing.

We`re All Affected by the Weather

Unless meteorologists broaden their understanding of weather, and scientists embrace logical ideas, it will be years before the Earth's weather is fully understood.

(SAN DIEGO) - In a NASA program in February, 2001, Professor Douglas Gough, University of Cambridge, said:

Resolving Space Puzzles

The scientists have been trying to gather their imaginary particles from the auroras, the comets, and the rings of Saturn and the plumes of Enceladus for decades without success.

(SAN DIEGO) - I received a snail mail letter from Bob Dale, a local meteorologist with KCST-TV dated Jan. 4, 1998.

He wrote: "I was grinning from ear to ear when I read the article about finally solving the riddle of the Sun being hotter on the outside! Ha! You told me about that years ago."

Tribunal verdict vs. 6 agrochemical TNCs hailed, urgent action on recommendations urged

International organizations and intergovernmental institutions to uphold human rights and the welfare of populations, and protect of biodiversity and ecosystems by subordinating the interests of corporations pursuing patents.

(BANGALORE, India) - Pesticide Action Network (PAN) International hailed the verdict of the Permanent People’s Tribunal (PPT) against the world’s six largest agrochemical companies Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, Dow Chemical, DuPont and BASF after a historic four-day session that culminated in Bangalore, India yesterday.

Victims and survivors of the pesticide industry from all over the world, represented by PAN International, testified before a distinguished international jury to indict the “Big 6” for human rights violations.

Human Experiments: Outsourcing Tuskegee

News from the Office of Scientific and Medical Justice.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - A new report details human experiments led by US researchers and drug companies on Africans who are typically undereducated, poor, and lack full understanding of their rights. The human subjects often are led to believe that they are receiving medical treatment from governmental health services or health ministries.

The report is titled “Non-Consensual Research in Africa: The Outsourcing of Tuskegee” in reference to the illegal human experiment conducted in Tuskegee, Alabama, on some 600 impoverished African-American men.

The Real Definition of Saturn`s Dust Particles

...it is clearly atoms of gases that were energized by the strong magnetic fields of Saturn and the Sun that I have been writing about for over 30 years.

(SAN DIEGO) - NASA reported the detection of both the creation of particles and the repelling characteristic in a 17 Nov. 2011 advisory with an article titled “Kicking Up Dust- Saturn and the Solar Wind Sent Tiny Particles Flying.”
