Complete video at: fora.tv Admiral Frank “Skip” Bowman, President and CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute, argues that nuclear waste management is a less severe problem than many believe. —– Frank ‘Skip’ Bowman discusses “More Nuclear Energy: Why America Needs it Now.” The volatility of natural gas prices and the potential for restrictions on coal-fueled power plants have combined to generate greater demand for nuclear power. Nuclear energy expert Bowman will speak frankly on the triumphs and challenges involved in securing a future for nuclear power in the United States. – The Commonwealth Club of California Admiral Frank L. “Skip” Bowman is a native of Chattanooga, Tenn. He was commissioned following graduation in 1966 from Duke University. In 1973 he completed a dual master’s program in nuclear engineering and naval architecture/marine engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was elected to the Society of Sigma Xi. Adm. Bowman has been awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from Duke University. Admiral Bowman serves on two visiting committees at MIT (Ocean Engineering and Nuclear Engineering), the Engineering Board of Visitors at Duke University, and the Nuclear Engineering Department Advisory Committee at the University of Tennessee.

@shk9664 I agree, nuclear energy is clean and can generate much more power than wind and solar, you can thank the enviro-nazis for the fear campaign, that did a brilliant job in misinforming the populace.
lol, fucking us…
The US is fucking dumb. we sort of stumbled upon an amazing brilliant work of science. As with all developments in science, with great power comes a great new way to kill people. This led to the scarring a society that knows nothing about “nuclear” being all top secret and all. Thus nuclear is bad because everyone says so. How can u blame them the developments made in the last 100 years have been so steep its a miracle so many people even know the word.
Thank You! :)
@streetfightspdx “I’m sure Target doesn’t pay you much.” They sure don’t. Maybe we should say no to big box retailers instead of nuclear power then.
@streetfightspdx “they have lobbyists in DC” No where near as much as the oil companies do.
@EpiDemic117
HaHaHa…Fool!!!
@EpiDemic117
I’m glad your just a sheep and not working for the nuclear industry but you should consider a new job working for the nuclear industry promoting the benefits of nuclear power, since I’m sure Target doesn’t pay you much.
@EpiDemic117
hopefully you just really work at Target and not for the nuclear industry. Is it that far fetched to think the nuclear industry would have people posting on youtube about the benefits of nuclear power, not really, they have lobbyists in DC, so why not post up some on youtube, there are millions of people on youtube so it is not far fetched at all…
@EpiDemic117
The China Syndrome was a Hollywood movie, that was my feeble attempt at sarcasm.
@streetfightspdx “Have you ever heard of Thyroid Cancer? ” Yes and have you ever heard that it can actually be treated with radioactive iodine?
“The accident at the plant occurred 12 days after the release of the movie The China Syndrome,” Maybe that’s the problem with you. You should read books or articles instead of looking at fear promoting, and media driven documentaries.
@streetfightspdx “Within days of the 3-Mile Island Disaster 140,000 people left the area.” Mostly from panic and fear like you were promoting. There 9 thousand residents in middle town. And on top of that there are still 251,798 Residents in dolphin county. What are you trying to prove? After WWII and the nuking of the two cities. People thought they would never recover and that it would be a radioactive area for a long tome. Look at them. The city thrived right after the war.
@streetfightspdx “You probably work for the Nuclear Industry and get paid to spread Lie$ on Youtube.” Hah! how many fucking times have I heard this bullshit from people like you? Actually three times now and all said from different companies. I work for Target, And you are a complete skeptic. At least try to find real evidence to counter my claims. Instead of picking at me, That’s just plain trollish.
@streetfightspdx “There is so many nuclear accidents that have happened” As in power plants? If it is a safety risk towards the locals the government isn’t going to hide anything. This isn’t like your local wallmart or target super corporation. They don’t do cover ups unless it is something related to weapons. There is a large marginal difference between weapons grade plutonium and the type that is used in reactors.
@EpiDemic117
Within days of the 3-Mile Island Disaster 140,000 people left the area. I must have imagined all that. Have you ever heard of Thyroid Cancer? or is all Cancer just called “radiation sickness” in the language of the pea brained idiots like you? Unlike you I don’t claim to know everything but I’m not drinking the Government Plutonium-Laced Kool-Aid like you. The accident at the plant occurred 12 days after the release of the movie The China Syndrome, maybe it was a movie promotion.
@EpiDemic117
You probably work for the Nuclear Industry and get paid to spread Lie$ on Youtube….I’m not a fan of Oil or Coal or any of that bullshit, it’s time to switch over to Solar Power, Wind, Water, etc. Hemp can be used for Fuel, Food and Fiber. There are many other alternatives but Government and Industry want things to stay the same and as long as your opinion is the mainstream there will be more Oil Disasters, Nuclear Disasters, etc..
@EpiDemic117
There is so many nuclear accidents that have happened [many have been censored by the military, but there is lots of uncensored info]. There is a ton of nuclear waste that is on the black market when a Dirty Bomb goes off somewhere because of all the loose security the Nuclear Industry won’t be seen in the same light. Most of the incidents of people trying to create dirty bombs and buy nuclear material have been busted by sheer luck, but luck only lasts so long.
@streetfightspdx “Blah Blah Blah Blah….I’d rather listen to a psychotic crackhead mumbling to himself in a mental ward” or maybe you’d rather not listen at all and continue on your course of spreading misinformation, myth, and hype the two past accidents that were due to faulty design and had poor safety precautions which are still you know extremely little compared to that giant oil slick that just happened out in the sea. And you think you are older? You sound like a god damn teenager.
@streetfightspdx “ou can’t change History Little Boy…People got Cancer at 3-Mile Island, look it up, then go jump off a cliff like a good little Lemming. ” End of argument. You ass lost. AND IT’S NOT CANCER YOU FUCKING TWAT! it’s called radiation sickness. Cancer is everywhere. Can you at least state to me what cancer is? and how it is caused since you seem to know everything.
@EpiDemic117
Blah Blah Blah Blah….I’d rather listen to a psychotic crackhead mumbling to himself in a mental ward. Your mainstream stupidity is boring as it comes, I heard all your arguments and Lie$ and none of them are sinking in.
@streetfightspdx “If you want to believe nuclear power is safe I’m not going to lose any sleep at night knowing you are a stupid little 24-year old sheep.” Little 24 year old with more intelligence than people like you that buy into common stereotypes and myths. The sun will be more likely to give out cancer than your local nuclear plant. If you’d at least know how the industry is run. then you’d know a smidgen about the industry it’s self.
@EpiDemic117
You can’t change History Little Boy…People got Cancer at 3-Mile Island, look it up, then go jump off a cliff like a good little Lemming.
@streetfightspdx “I’m just trying to change your stupidity level,” So i could have an anti-human mind like greenpeace? Even their co founder left and stated that nuclear energy was the way to go. He is to an environmentalist. France has over 80% of it’s power coming from nuclear. Where are the casualties there? And how many plants operate daily without any incident? That’s right ALL OF THEM.
@EpiDemic117
Is someone paying you to lie on youtube????
@EpiDemic117
Shut the fuck up you little Government Kool-Aid Drinking Idiot…You are a little 24-year old faggot. You are a Dunce that grew up into a full blown Idiot….You are the misinformed trying to pretend like you know everything, typical know it all 24-year old behavior.
