there promoting it--and gettting press attention--while the real work on developing new, safer nuclear plants was generally ignored. Filippone offends me, not only because of his bogus "research," but because of the fact that he takes credit for the work of others. E.g., he represents himself as an "expert" on Generation IV reactors and has presented seminars on the subject, despite the fact that there is no evidence that he has ever done any work in this field. (He has no publications of any sort in any technical journal.) And given the quality (or lack thereof) of his work on CAESAR, I cannot help but shudder when I think of what he may be telling people in those seminars. These are the reasons that I keep checking the Web to see what's being said about "CAESAR" and why I keep telling people that it's a sham. If that's "stalking," so be it; I see it as getting the truth out. Energy is a technological subject that seems to invite scammers, junk science, and other highly questionable work. Cold fusion, hydrinos, zero-point energy, perpetual motion machines, CAESAR--they are all of a pattern. For those looking for a free lunch--or free energy--take a look at the laws of thermodynamics: you can't win, you can't break even, and you can't get out of the game!!

That's why I initiated also translating the article to other wikiprojects to see how other nationals comment on nuclear energy.

I corrrected the reference to Bernard L. Cohen's paper for you. Again, Cohen agrees with Hubbert in the case of uranium. Both thought that uranium would last forever in the plutonium economy. So in fact, your insistence of adding Cohen does not balance the article. If you understand, I will add a

I noticed you came to nuclear power phase-out, started a new section called "Merge with nuclear energy policy?" and already voted. You also seemed to have no comment on the ongoing discussion which is just about that topic. I am surprised to say the least. What a start. You are very fast... I suggest

Paul, I think I know who the user calling himself Anuke is. If I am right he as been webstalking Filippone for some time now.

I added back in the text on Chernobyl-vs-Western plants, wth 4 citations. I view this as very significant to the article, but I suspect Ben is going to want to battle. Katefan0 and Woohookitty are discussing an ArbCommittee case - Ben says he just dropped one (I wonder if he was told he was going

Katefan0 has editted, and is defending, what I think is an acceptable version of the article. I've asked her how we get it "protected" ("frozen") until after the new Energy Bill in Congress is signed and the debate on PAA is over (yes, it's in the bill). Would you support protecting the article?

However, uranium does have a chemical toxicity about the same as that of lead, so inhaled fume or ingested oxide is considered a health hazard.

Stalking? Well, maybe. But I actually found out about "CAESAR" when I was asked to do a technical evaluation on the concept in a previous job. It became clear--once I was able to find the Economist and UMD Research Frontiers articles--that the concept was bogus, but that the "inventor" was out

Already made it a redirect. "Standby power" seems to be the standard name, otherwise I would be tempted to move it to "Electricity vampire". I just like how sinister that sounds.--

I presume the kidney damage is because uranium is a heavy metal, and most heavy metals are toxic. The damage is chemical, not from radiation.
