Clean Energy President Embraces Dirty, Dangerous, and Expensive Future. One can’t help but feel that Obama is still of a mind to go ahead and OK this dangerous and much-derided plan [the Keystone XL pipline], it is just the Obama 2012 campaign that’s agonizing over how to spin it.
Back in 2008, Obama the candidate seemed to understand the threat posed by global warming, and he spoke often of moving away from carbon-heavy fuel sources like tar sands. Now, a good part of what is considered the president’s “base,” it seems, understands that the transcontinental pipeline is not only a danger to farmlands and aquifers, but also a betrayal of a campaign promise. Don’t think this is the dynamic at play? Look at recent administration boasts about such “green” initiatives as raising the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, or just read Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt in the abovementioned Reuters story: “The president has done more to wean us off of foreign oil and transition the nation to a clean energy economy than any other,” he said. Almost.

KDKA Radio[edit] History[edit] Westinghouse history 1886-2000[edit] Westinghouse Electric Company's history 1999-present[edit] AP1000. Computer generated image of AP1000 The AP1000 is a nuclear power plant designed and sold by Westinghouse Electric Company in accordance with the concept of passive nuclear safety.
In December 2005, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the final design certification for the AP1000.[1] This meant that prospective US builders could apply for a Combined Construction and Operating License before construction starts, the validity of which is conditional upon the plant being built as designed, and that each AP1000 should be identical. Its design is the first Generation III+ reactor to receive final design approval from the US NRC.[2] In 2008 China started building four units to the AP1000-2005 design. Aspects of the AP1000 design have been questioned and disputed by senior scientists and engineers including John Ma (of the NRC), Edwin Lyman, and Arnold Gundersen.
