About
I’ve started this blog as my contribution to the online pro-nuclear grass roots blog-based community i’ve seen developing, which I’ve followed with great interest.
Like many, i’ve decided that as a scientist, I simply can no longer in good conscience just sit idly by and watch things that are not scientifically true be spread on an astonishing scale, when it comes to this debate over the world’s fission energy renaissance.
I’m a student at the University of Melbourne, Australia, majoring in Physics and Computer Engineering. Don’t worry, I’ve *almost* graduated. Perhaps I should stop blogging and get back to the books?
I have no commercial or professional ties or conflicts of interest with regards to the nuclear energy, nuclear fuel or Uranium mining industries what so ever.
I’m a Liberal, (and an atheist) and usually a voter for the Australian Labor Party. That said, however, I can not at all disagree with John Howard’s policies of rationally investigating the feasibility of nuclear energy for Australia - although I didn’t vote for him in 2007, for other reasons.
That said, however, I generally seem to disagree with “far Left” politics, such as the Australian Greens and other “Green” Parties, and I certainly seem to find myself at odds with the far-leftist socialist political organisations that seem to breed like rabbits around universities in particular the world over.

I have visited Physical Insights before, but either it looked different then or my memory is fading. I really like the layout, it is a beautiful blog with good commentary and insights.
The link to this site is now listed on my blog roll. Sorry it took so long. Thanks for the nice mentions of my work, BTW.

Thanks - In particular, I like having the main column where the actual blog posts are wider - it’s nicer to read.

I share regular daily emails with a friend in California I met at a car care blog. Our opinions are similar, and he linked me to an article on a small US blog.
I replied in the comments area and the editor of the blog contacted me and asked if he could move the comment to a post of its own. I agreed, and he asked if I would like to comment on any further items that might interest his readers.
I had an idea on a series of posts regarding the electrical power industry, probably amounting to maybe half a dozen, tops. It has blown out now to 24 articles and looks to have life for another ten or so.
I have also posted on other topics.
In my electrical power series, I went to lengths to concentrate on some aspects of the nuclear power industry, and I’m also working through other methods of producing electrical power.
You may wish to link to them if you wish.
I’m not going to link directly to my articles as you as the editor might like to go through them first.
Luke, I commented on an article regarding solar power in your own blog here, and some personal background details are there so I won’t repeat them.
The website of the US blog is as follows. The blog is titled PA Pundits, and is a relatively small one based in Pennsylvania, hence the PA part in the title. It has a following of approximately 800 to 1200 readers a day.
Luke perhaps you might like to contact the Editor for reciprocal posting if it suits you. Mention my screen name TonyfromOz. It won’t get you (or even me for that fact) anything, and you may even think it unsuitable, but I just thought I would mention it.
