True enough HG but - as ever the rhetoric will be aimed at ''the gun'' - probably totally ignoring a young man's total stupidity.I know the Ant-Gun bunch will make a lot out of this needless death.
So much better if they would change their approach to ''ban stupid people and criminals'' - we might make progress then

Sounds like a lousy call. Been on more that a few myself, as an EMT, EMT-P, and EMS Battalion Chief.
Unfortunately, it goes to prove two things:
1. Stupidity is a fatal disease.
2. Alcohol potentiates stupidity.
Nobody appreciates these two laws like EMS providers.
Be safe out there.
One of the scary things about complacency and lack of discipline is that, no matter how elaborate the safety measures may be, if you become complacent in the process, a safety violation can still occur.Originally Posted by Tangle
Using Tangle's example:
remove the mag - check,
lock open the slide (and remove the chambered round) - check,
visually inspect the mag well - check.
But, if you have done those steps deliberately and carefully, what does racking the slide three times and repeating those steps accomplish/prevent?
Or, if you go through Tangle's entire routine, while distracted or shortcut with assumptions, are you any safer?
It seems to me that carry must always be a conscious act, and never a behavior with which we become too comfortable.

"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow. End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
The anti-gun crowd will call this a tragedy. In this case, I have to agree with them. It's definitely a preventable tragedy, but a tragedy nonetheless.
As far as double, triple, quadruple checking...it's a waste of time if you do it without thinking about it. If you're saying to yourself "I don't see a round," you won't see a round, even if one is there. You must be looking for a round. Only after you don't find one can you consider the weapon safe. Even then, the other rules apply.
The only time I'm absolutely 100% sure my gun is unloaded is when I have reassembled it after cleaning. Even then, when I function test/dry fire it, it is aimed at a cinderblock wall with dirt on the other side.
Complacency kills. It killed somebody today. It will kill someone tomorrow. Make sure it isn't you.
Edited to add: I've done plenty of stupid things in my life. I have come to the conclusion that I am highly fallible, and the best I can do is try not to do anything stupid today.
It is such a shame for a young man to loose his life that way. But I imagine that if he were in a position to do so, he would say that he alone is responsible for what happened to him. I'd go so far as to bet the word "stupid" would figure into his explaination.
It is sad.
But Tangle,
I happen to disagree about car "accidents." After long investigations, most all aircraft crashes have been found to be anything but an "accident." There's always a reason for the crash and "It just happened" is never one of them.
I've yet to see a motor vehichle "accident" that didn't come down to human error, mechanical failure, or a combination of the two. And mechanical failure is not a common actual cause, but it often is used to avoid having to admit a human error.
Those long, chain-reaction pile-ups that take place in the fog, are a direct result of human error. Each and every driver was driving too fast for conditions. Trouble is, none will admit to it, most don't even realize it. (Meaning, they aren't lying, just unable to see the truth.) Slowing down so that you can still stop within the distance you can actually see doesn't seem to occur to people. If that means proceeding at a snail's pace, then so be it. To do anything else is to set into motion what will be called an "accident," but is a direct result of people doing something stupid.
There are so very few real auto "accidents" that when they do happen, they should be "news." When someone looses control to avoid hitting an animal that suddenly dashes out in front of a care, that would be an accident.
Most all the time, at least one driver did something stupid to cause the "accident."
The reason I felt compelled to make this point is probably because I spend too much time in the ER, listening to every excuse for a car crash other than, "I screwed up."
I do hear it once in a while, but not often. (Sorry for wandering so far from the topic.)
Political Correctness has now "evolved" into Political Cowardice.
I think that's the problem; there seems to be a tendency, moreso with guns, that if the accident was due to human error, it can't be called accidental. But human errors do not eliminate something from being an accident.
A person ties a knot in a rope to haul up a load. The knot fails and someone is injured. They find the knot was tied incorrectly. That's human error. Does that mean the event was not an accident because a human made a mistake? I think not. He may have tied that knot correctly a thousand times before, but this one time, he messed up. Is that negligence? I think not. It was an unintentional outcome where the human thought he was doing the right thing.
A friend of mine had a long screwdriver bit in a cordless drill to install trim in a van. He was holding the trim in place with his left hand and driving the screw with his right. The drill slipped, the bit hit his left hand and drove all the way through his hand. Was that preventable? Absolutely. Was it an accident? Well that depends on whether we can call the unintended outcome of human error an accident or not. In this case I consider that an accident.
Accidents occur from errors in judgement. Have you ever had an accident of any kind or were they all negligents instead?
Even the law makes distinctions between negligence and accidents and both mostly involve human error.

I have no more information regarding that incident unfortunately. Talk about it tends to die off rather quickly when you had one where you're trampsing through brains on the floor...
Accidental, negligent, foolish, whatever term we would like to use to describe the stupidity that took place takes nothing away from the simple matter of common sense around firearms. If this idiot had used some common sense and followed the rules of safety he would be alive today. It *appears* that alcohol was a contributing factor in this case and all I want to say about that is this :
If you don't have enough common sense, personal responsibility, and personal control to NOT do something stupid after a couple of drinks then you should stick to lemonade! I'm just happy this moron didn't hurt someone else due to his own stupidity. THAT would have been a tragedy!

I shouldn't have wandered so far "off-topic."
An accident, a stupid mistake, no matter what you call it, it was indeed a tragedy.
And Tangle, I'll not obsess on that word, "accident." I understand what you are saying and I think we just use the word a little differently. No problem, at all.
Political Correctness has now "evolved" into Political Cowardice.
Accidents are those that cannot be avoided. Very rare to see a true accident; it usually stems from negligence from some party involved or just plain not using common sense. There is always a responsible party to which they contributed to such an "accident".Originally Posted by Tangle
The term accident is most generally applied to the word automobile, and thus has been perverted. How many auto "accidents" have we all averted after someone else screwed up in their car? How many did we catch and prevent when we ourselves were making the error? How many times have our brains not registered "MOTORCYCLE" because it was looking for "car." SSKC said it...we need to be LOOKING for that live round in the chamber, not just going through the motions. Sooner or later, face it, we are going to break every rule. I have seen it with the best of us. Thank goodness there are four of them. Muzzle direction and finger out of the guard are the prime two. I check the action ONCE before each manipulation of the trigger during dry fire at a bullet proof point of aim. Resist the temptation to get off just one more dry fire after loading and holstering your piece. The only time you may be safest by standing directly in front of the muzzle is when I'm touching off the 75 cal smooth bore flintlock "Brown Bess."

I'm in the process of preparing to distribute Education Master Suite 2014 with SCCM 2012. Various machines will need to end up with differing subsets of the suite. Distributing the entire suite in one piece won't work due to the large size and installation time limits. With SCCM 2012, the installation package is normally downloaded to the local machine before the installation process starts.
Since there is a significant overlap between the 3rdParty Prerequisites, I was hoping to be able to configure the suite once and then package each application separately. Or would it be a better idea to download the separate installers for each application and then package each that way even though many of the "3rd Party" stuff ends up being part of the installation set for each and every application which redundantly uses up distribution point disk space and network bandwidth as the same files get transferred repeatedly.
Looking at the text files created in "SMS_SCCM Scripts" folder, it appears that many of the installers expect to be part of the same folder structure as indicated by the ADSK_SOURCE_ROOT attribute.

Software development (also known as application development, software design, designing software, software application development, enterprise application development, or platform development) is the development of a software product. The term "software development" may be used to refer to the activity of computer programming, which is the process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense of the term it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, ideally in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.

While BMW has M Division, Audi has quattro GmbH's RS, Mercedes-Benz's performance division is AMG. Based in Affalterbach near Stuttgart, AMG has been producing high performance Mercedes model variants for many years. It also runs the company's motorsport activities, which include the German DTM touring car series and builds customer SLS GT3 race cars for private teams to compete in GT3 championships round the world.
Mercedes-Benz has a long tradition of fast, compact saloon models that include icons like the 190E 2.3-16, 190E 2.5-16 Evo II and more recent AMG badged models like the C36, C43, C32 and the C55.
First introduced in 2008, the C63 AMG is the latest in line. Based on the latest generation C-Class model, the C63 AMG gets one of AMG's hand-built V8, substantial chassis tweaks as well as a pumped up look on the outside to give the BMW M3, the Lexus ISF and the n Audi RS 5 a run for their money.
More than three years on, Mercedes-Benz has updated the C63 to bring its looks more in line with the rest of the facelifted C-Cass range. The new C63 not only sports tweaked styling but also thorough improvements under the skin that includes a new gearbox.
One look and you can tell that this C-Class is a monstrous supercar slayer in a saloon body shell. Giveaways of the C63 include the gaping air intake and side outlets on the lower bumper, heavily flared wheel arches, the twin strakes on the bonnet (a feature that is found on classic sporty Merc models like the 300SL gullwing), the quad exhaust tail pipes lurking from the rear diffuser, tinted headlamps and the subtle boot lid spoiler. Cars fitted with the optional AMG Performance Package get red brake calipers and the boot lid spoiler made from carbon fibre. Obviously, there are the usual badgings as well – the ones on the flanks are especially misleading as they read '6.3 AMG' with the engine actually displacing 6208cc.
The newer, updated C63 gets curvier headlamps, a new radiator grille, new front bumper, LED tail lamps as well as new five star-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels. With lowered suspension completing the transformation, the C63 is an aggressive and purposeful looking machine. Cars fitted with the optional multi-spoke 19-inch alloys finished in titanium grey though, have an even more garang stance.

WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is siding with President Obama on the issue of sanctions against Iran, saying Congress should hold off on imposing any additional sanctions while diplomatic negotiations run their course.
Clinton conveyed her stance in a letter to Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, last month.
"Now that serious negotiations are finally under way, we should do everything we can to test whether they can advance a permanent solution," the letter said. "As President Obama has said, we must give diplomacy a chance to succeed, while keeping all options on the table.
"The U.S. intelligence community has assessed that imposing new unilateral sanctions now 'would undermine the prospects for a successful comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran.' I share that view," Clinton said. "It could rob us of the diplomatic high ground we worked so hard to reach, break the united international front we constructed, and in the long run, weaken the pressure on Iran by opening the door for other countries to chart a different course.
"I have no doubt that this is the time to give our diplomacy the space to work. If it does not, there will be time to put in place additional sanctions in the future, with greater international support necessary to ensure enforcement, and to explore every other option on the table," she said in the letter.
The letter came in response to a request from Levin, who asked her to weigh in on the issue.
"This is a thoughtful, persuasive argument from an experienced, respected senior official," Levin said. "It makes clear Secretary Clinton's belief that tough sanctions helped bring Iran to the negotiating table, and that Congress and the administration are poised to act if Iran violates its commitments or fails to negotiate in good faith toward a final agreement.
"Her letter is another strong signal to Congress that we should not take any legislative action at this time that would damage international unity or play into the hands of hard-liners in Iran who oppose negotiations," he said.
Obama has said he would veto any legislation calling for new sanctions against Iran at this time.

Jerry Seinfeld: Secret 'Seinfeld' Project Will Debut 'Very, Very Soon'
New York, NY — The Houston Chronicle is reporting; Jerry Seinfeld confirmed on WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" show that the mystery project he shot recently with Jason Alexander and Larry David in New York City is, in fact, something of a Seinfeld reunion.
Seinfeld kept quiet on most major details during the interview, saying the project was neither a Super Bowl commercial nor an installment of his hit web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Then he added with a grin, "It is not not those things, either."

For many years, Anthony Mussachio carved a niche doing architectural designs and renderings for his who's who of local clients.
Working from his Amherst home, he created a base for one of the region's oldest architectural firms. Mussachio Architects was founded in 1973. These days, the firm is run by two sons of Tony, who died in 1993.
It's a case study of how a small, independent firm can thrive in a competitive industry, both locally and nationally.
"The business literally grew up in our house," said Marc Mussachio principal/partner. His brother Anthony holds the same title.
As youngsters, they learned their father's art of creating hand-drawn renderings. In those days, they were assigned the task of using blue tempura paint to create skies on Tony's renderings.
"My father was an artist who became an architect," Anthony said. "He loved the design work. He loved to work on renderings."
Early in his career, Tony worked closely with Benderson Development Co. on the design and look of its Delta-Sonic Car Wash operations. His design, while tweaked over the years, remains as the foundation of Delta-Sonic's look.
"My father built his own following," Anthony said.
Over the years, Mussachio Architects has worked with such firms as Ciminelli Real Estate Corp. and Uniland Development Co. The firm also worked with the Montante family on the design of the Elm-Oak corridor in Buffalo, as well as the Ciminellis on the design of Centerpointe in Amherst.
The Mussachios also designed a number of dealerships for Northtown Automotive Group and the Fuccillo group.
The client list also includes Independent Health and the U.S. Postal Service.
These days, the firm has added a hospitality component to its list of projects in the commercial office, senior living and medical office fields.
The past decade has seen design work completed for more than 80 hotels around the country including the recently opened Hampton Inn across from the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
"You have to be diverse," Marc Mussachio said. "If you are not and you are in a smaller market, it can kill you if are not diverse in what you do."
More recently, Mussachio Architects was retained to design the former Moore Business Forms building on Buffalo Avenue, which is being transformed into an 86-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel. The building dates to the late 1800s.
The challenge, according to the brothers, is to design a two-story addition while keeping as much of the original design as possible.
"It's a beautiful building and the last thing we want to do is bastardize it," Marc said. "Personally, it is a challenge, but as an architect you love to work through these sorts of challenges."
Both brothers are licensed architects. Their 10-person firm is based in Amherst but is licensed to work in 18 states. That's a key element of their business survival, as maany of their hospitality projects are not in the immediate region
The majority of work is generated by referrals, they said.
Indeed, Anthony said he and his brother are proud of the fact that some 85 percent of projects are the result of word-of-mouth or repeat customers.
Hilton Hotels, for example, lists Mussachio Architects as a preferred architect for developers of its hotels.
And the Tilted Kilt restaurant chain, which is in the middle of an expansion campaign, selected the Amherst firm to design eateries it has planned in Syracuse, Texas and Idaho. That referral was a direct result of its work with Hilton.
"Our father always said the difference between a good architect and an average architect is paying attention to all the small details," Anthony said.
"And he always stressed that a good architect should never fall prey to current fads. We believe in designing our own style and to make our designs look timeless."

An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story driven by exploration and puzzle-solving instead of physical (e.g. reflexes) challenge. The genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media such as literature and film, encompassing a wide variety of literary genres. Nearly all adventure games (text and graphic) are designed for a single player, since this emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult.

State Representative Al Landis (R-Dover) was sworn in as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives for the 131st General Assembly during a ceremony at the Statehouse yesterday.
Drug addiction is a pervasive issue that affects many Ohioans on a daily basis. As individuals and families struggle together to conquer this disease and mediate on its devastating effects, it is crucial that the State of Ohio provides ways to conquer the negative impacts this problem creates in our communities. The Ohio House has been working diligently to pass legislation to improve the quality and spectrum of care on all levels for those suffering from substance abuse issues, with the ultimate intention of diminishing the epidemic as a whole. The House has also worked to prevent the addiction from happening in the first place.
Columbus—State Representative Al Landis (R-Dover) recently visited Union Hospital in Dover, Ohio. The purpose of the visit was to learn more about the day-to-day operations at Union Hospital, in addition to discussing prominent issues of importance to the hospital and the effect those issues have on the residents of Tuscarawas County.
COLUMBUS—State Representative Al Landis (R-Dover) today announced that the Ohio House of Representatives has concurred on House Bill 488, the veterans component of the Mid-Biennium Budget Review (MBR).

Any interst in a very casual electric float fly non-event in the DFW area ?
Was thinking it would be fun to have a very casual electric float fly here in DFW somwhere. No entry fee, no awards, no raffle. Just a group of guys geting together to fly some electric seaplanes on a Saturday or Sunday morning this summer.
The only way I would consider having a small entry fee would be if the site had to be rented or leased. I do not have a particular site in mind and am seeking good electric float flying site suggestions. Somewhere in the mid cities area would be best for making it easy for all to attend. We could limit it to parkflyer seaplanes, but if at all possible, I would prefer to find a site that would allow any size electric seaplane. A medium to large pond or a very small lake would be better than a larger lake site, I think. Would like to have input from anyone in the area...yea, nay, ideas, suggestions, whatever. Hopw to hear from you. |

MESA, Ariz. — Dax LeDuc, 18, thought that Westwood High School had little to offer him last year, so he walked out eight credits shy of earning a diploma.
But his plan to become a fashion designer did not work out the way he expected. Plus, his job at a shopping-mall photo studio did not pay enough to cover life's basics, let alone the training and materials he needed to launch his career.
So LeDuc is back in high school. But this year he is in a new Mesa Public Schools program that fits his goal of earning credits fast so he can graduate and work toward his dream.
He and 34 other students are in what the district terms the Flex Program at East Valley Academy. The program allows students to select the days and hours that they attend school, including Saturdays and evening hours.
Students must attend a minimum of 20 hours a week, but there is no limit to the amount of time they can spend taking classes.
Students must still meet the requirements of the new Arizona Common Core Standards and pass the AIMS test. But they can choose among classes offered both on desktop computers or in more traditional classrooms that feature textbooks, lectures and discussion.
LeDuc has been at the six-days-a-week school since it opened last month. He completed an online Algebra I class in the first six days of the school year and plans to have his diploma and be enrolled in Mesa Community College by January.
"Once you get in front of the computer, the time just flies," LeDuc said. "Ten hours a day goes by just like that."
Principal Timothy Keilty, who runs both the Flex Program and a more traditional credit-recovery high school at East Valley Academy, said LeDuc is typical of the kind of student the district is trying to reach through the new program.
"They have left high school and then come back after realizing it was harder out there than they thought it would be be," Keilty said. "Some are parents and some help support their families. They have realized that they are not going to make it working in fast food and making minimum wage."
One student this year, for instance, helps support his parents by managing a McDonald's restaurant at night, he said. That student attends the Flex Program from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. six days a week, then goes to his job.
"This type of student is not going to be awake before 8 a.m. for traditional high school," he said.
East Valley Academy, which moved into part of the district's former Powell Junior High School last year, also has about 225 students enrolled in "credit recovery" classes, which have more traditional class schedules and hours. Keilty said his goal is to eventually have 150 students enrolled at any one time in the Flex Program.
District research shows there are plenty of students to fill the spots. Last year, 956 students dropped out of schools in the Mesa district, and Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Tempe lost a combined 2,068 students.
In addition, a few dropouts from other parts of the Valley are finding their way to the school, Keilty said.
Christina Whiteaker, 18, was earning A's and B's at Tonopah Valley High School in the far West Valley last year until she dropped out to have a baby.
She, her 9-month-old daughter and the child's father now live in Mesa, where Whiteaker has enrolled in the flexible high school. She hopes to have her diploma by spring.
Whiteaker, who hopes to one day enroll in a college program for dental assistants, said she would not be back in school if it were not for the flexible program. She attends Monday through Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Child care is available at the school on weekday afternoons.
"One of the best things is that I can finish my homework here, while I am at school," she said.

A suggestion by a committee member at a recent Vision Plan Subcommittee meeting has sparked the interest of the group charged with updating the Vision Plan.
Committee member Dick Pelton suggested earlier this month that the town evaluate or survey its full-time and par-time residents and visitors.
"We have seen businesses flounder and had high hopes for shopping centers that are still sitting with empty stores," said Pelton, at the subcommittee's Wednesday, Aug. 4 meeting. "I would like to see us have a focus group or perform a survey to get a formal feel of what we should be doing on a regular basis."
Pelton's suggestion prompted an e-mail from Country Club Shores resident Bob Gault, the former chief executive officer of Universal Studios-Orlando.
He wrote: "One important element of feedback to the plan that has not been included in the process is finding out what Longboat Key's off-island potential 'customers' think about Longboat Key as a place to buy real estate, vacation or do business of any kind. What is our image and is there anything we can include in the Vision Plan, Comp Plan, town management tactics, etc. to address any weaknesses that we may have in market perceptions?"
Gault also suggested the Town Commission perform a periodic survey to get a feel for what its constituents are looking for on their island.
The discussion led back to the town's Comprehensive Plan, which will most likely be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board this fall.
Subcommittee member George Symanski Jr. noted that the Vision Plan is a policy document that has no official weight, but will act as an overall guide for changes that can be made to the Comprehensive Plan.
The subcommittee agreed that at its next meeting, it would discuss, with town counsel present, how in-depth the Vision Plan could be in regard to telling potential developers what the town would like to see on certain commercial parcels.
At a previous subcommittee meeting, Symanski and subcommittee member David Brenner debated that issue. Symanski made his argument again at the meeting.
"Zoning is what you can do and planning is the option you have available to you," said Symanski to Brenner. "There seems to be a big disconnect from what I think is comprehensive planning and what you think it is. I feel like I don't know what to do with the plan if you think it's one thing and I think it's another."

- How about you let developers tell you what they want to build instead of the Town telling them what to build. Top down central planning doesn't work, witness the collapse of the Soviet Union. Zoning needs to be flexible, if it's needed at all. The City of Houston, Texas, seems to do extremely well with no zoning laws, leaving decisions of building to the best and highest use of the land. We should emulate that philosophy. WE NEED GROWTH. Grow or die.

Opening statements
Avoiding the radiological risks associated with civil nuclear power, whether in normal operation or from a catastrophe, is not the main reason the world would be better off without it. Atoms cannot be made to work for peace without making them available for war.
Despite the media circus regarding Fukushima, which has eclipsed the coverage of 20,000 or more lives lost in a huge and tragic natural disaster, nuclear power remains necessary and virtuous in relation to sustainability criteria.
In pictures taken from unmanned aircraft, the building that houses the number three reactor at the Fukushima nuclear plant looks like a matchstick model that has been first trodden on, then set alight. Two of the three other reactor buildings look little better; the one that looks most robust may be leaking worst of all. A Geiger counter offshore would be going mad from inadvertent leaks and deliberate releases of contaminated water; more than 100,000 people have been evacuated from the surrounding region. The worst case seems to have been avoided. But in terms of the image of nuclear power, the not-worst scenario playing out in Japan is still deeply, perhaps indelibly, bad.
The crisis at Fukushima Dai-ichi, a vast six-reactor power plant north of Tokyo that was knocked off the grid by March 11th's earthquake and disastrously deprived of cooling by the subsequent tsunami, has refocused the world's attention on the future of nuclear power. For some it will doubtless have been the final straw, convincing them that an industry given to such cataclysms simply cannot be supported any more. For at least one British environmentalist it has been an eye opener the other way: if this is the worst that happens when old and poorly regulated reactors are hit by a calamity of biblical proportions, then maybe the technology is not that bad after all.
But though Fukushima is the occasion for much soul-searching along these lines, the issues it raises about disaster preparedness and radiological safety in the case of failure are not the only, or in many minds the most important, issues that surround the future of nuclear power. Up-front expense, systemic risk, long-term waste disposal and proliferation are also big issues that seem at the moment not to be solved. Generous federal loan guarantees have as yet failed to spur a nuclear renaissance in America. The sight of companies that operate reactors in Germany sitting on potentially lucrative assets closed down by a political response to developments 9,000 kilometres away makes the systemic risks clear. Deep geological storage is still unavailable for many nuclear programmes; and the link between power programmes and weapons programmes seems stubbornly hard to break.
But if these issues remain, so do others. Nuclear power retains the ability—much valued by Japan, among other nations—to provide copious amounts of reliable electricity without incurring dependence on imported fossil fuels. By the same token it lets those nations avoid the climate damage that those fossil fuels inflict when burned. Those who wish to see global warming halted have to recognise that if nuclear power were abolished today, to be replaced by other generating technologies in proportion to their current usage, the world would emit an extra 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide every year.
Our debaters, Ian Hore-Lacy of the World Nuclear Association, a trade body, and Tom Burke of E3G, an environmental organisation, are both well-versed in these arguments, and we can expect them to make their cases forcefully. As moderator I will try to make sure that the neutrons of argument they emit provoke appropriate reactions in subsequent rounds of debate. There is always a risk that proponents and opponents will speak past, rather than to, each other. I will try to make sure that is not the case this time. And I will be looking to you, the voters and online participants, to help me in raising difficult questions, as well as listening to your arguments for your own positions. Please vote, express yourselves, listen, tell your friends and, if you see fit, change your vote according to what you have heard. Nuclear power is an important subject on which the Fukushima disaster has bestowed fresh urgency. Let's give it the debate it deserves.
Avoiding the radiological risks associated with civil nuclear power, whether in normal operation or from a catastrophe, is not the main reason the world would be better off without it. Atoms cannot be made to work for peace without making them available for war.
This is a lesson we have learned the hard way. The original five nuclear-weapons states are now nine and will soon be joined by a tenth. All the newcomers have acquired their weapons under the guise of developing civil nuclear-power programmes.
The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has only slowed, not prevented, the spread of nuclear weapons. The skills and materials used in a nuclear-power programme are indistinguishable from those needed to build nuclear weapons. A third of the nations with civil nuclear programmes have attempted to develop nuclear weapons.
There can be no argument that the world would be better off without more nuclear-armed nations. This can only be guaranteed by removing the political cover provided by civilian nuclear-power programmes. The enormity of the proliferation risk therefore demands that the case for continuing these programmes, and thus maintaining this perilous ambiguity, be overwhelming. It is not.
If there is no compelling reason to accept the proliferation risk, then the world will be better off in many other ways. Among them will be reduction of the economic risks of nuclear accidents. They are significant. The catastrophe at Fukushima is not yet over but it is already clear that the eventual cost will exceed $100 billion.
Two primary arguments are advanced for accepting the Faustian bargain offered by nuclear power. The first is that nuclear power is essential for energy security. The second is that it is necessary to avoid dangerous climate change. Climate change is without doubt the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. Ensuring energy security is one of the most urgent tasks facing any government.
If there really is no alternative, then the Faustian bargain of nuclear power will have to be managed as well as is possible. But such a force-majeure argument must be subject to the most rigorous examination before its dread conclusion is accepted.
Nuclear power currently contributes surprisingly little to energy security—about 13% of the electricity delivered globally in 2009, perhaps as little as 2% of final energy. This was rather less than the 18% delivered by co-generation and renewables. Furthermore, this share is declining. In recent years more reactors have closed than have opened.
Last year alone, not counting large dams, renewables added 50 gigawatts of new capacity—equivalent to about 40 nuclear reactors. The International Energy Agency, not known for its nuclear scepticism, projects that the number of new reactors built in coming decades will barely keep pace with the number closing.
Even that will take a heroic effort. Some 260 new reactors would have to come on line by 2025 just to stand still. This would be a significant engineering achievement and would stretch the nuclear supply chain tightly, with big implications for costs. But it is hard to see what this does for energy security and it clearly does not displace much coal or gas.
The reality is that, even in a more electricity-dependent world, the contribution of nuclear power to world energy supplies is so small that it is already being replaced by improved energy efficiency, renewables and fossil fuels. These options are cheaper, less risky and quicker than nuclear.
But they are also, at least in the case of fossil fuels, much more damaging to the climate. Nuclear is clearly a low-carbon option. Understanding what is happening in China is central to dealing with this horn of the energy-climate dilemma.
China has the most ambitious nuclear programme anywhere with more than 70 gigawatts of new capacity planned by 2020. Should it succeed, this will meet perhaps 4% of Chinese electricity demand. A quarter will come from renewables and the remaining 70% from coal and gas—mainly coal. In carbon-reduction terms, even the world's most aggressive nuclear programme is marginal. Not even the most valiant of nuclear advocates would suggest that a significant proportion of China's projected coal burn could be displaced by nuclear.
But if this coal burn goes ahead unabated there is no prospect of avoiding dangerous climate change. Of course, this is not just a problem for China—many other countries have large coal programmes—but rather that the message is at its clearest there.
Nuclear power cannot save the world from the necessity of deploying carbon capture and storage or facing the impossible choice of letting the lights go out or destroying climate stability. It is a high-risk distraction from what must become the central focus of the effort to deliver energy and climate security simultaneously.
Would the world be better off without nuclear power? Far from it!
Despite the media circus regarding Fukushima, which has eclipsed the coverage of 20,000 or more lives lost in a huge and tragic natural disaster, nuclear power remains necessary and virtuous in relation to sustainability criteria.
When all this is sorted, world energy demand will be just the same as it was, the demand for reliable electricity supply will still be on a path to doubling in two decades, and the options for meeting that demand will be just the same. On the basis of calm, rational consideration, nuclear power will be looking just as attractive as it did before.
This does not mean we will not learn lessons from Fukushima. Clearly, we need to look again and ensure that every reactor in every country has reliable post-shutdown cooling available, and any other vulnerabilities addressed, even after the most extreme environmental events. Fortunately, that challenge has already been met by new reactor designs that use natural physical principles—notably convection—to cool reactors after shutdown. This means they will require no electricity supply or even any human intervention for some days to get this done.
Of course, anyone building new plants will use current technology, not 1960s technology. However, that does not mean that old plants are unsafe if properly run, though we hope that safety systems are not tested to near their limit as at Fukushima. Although the three Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors which were operating on March 11th and suddenly shut down in response to the earthquake are certainly write-offs, along with unit 4 which had fuel pond overheating, so far there is no evidence of acute radiation sickness or even significantly elevated exposure in workers at the plant. The final barrier—robust containment—has substantially done its job.
The need for nuclear power is driven by several factors which have not changed: the need for a continuous, reliable supply of affordable electricity, the importance of energy security so that fuel for electricity generation is not subject to geopolitical threats and uncertainties, and the need to minimise CO2 emissions from power generation.
Nuclear power generation meets these needs very well. Only coal and natural gas can compete on cost per kilowatt hour and on being continuous and reliable, though even in the short term gas supplies in Europe rely rather heavily on Siberia, the Middle East and North Africa, hence there is a major vulnerability there. Coal has huge CO2 emission implications, and the advent of commercial-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology is some way off. Even then it threatens to double the cost of electricity.
So the focus is on the safety of nuclear power. Despite the present drama, that could hardly be better. In 14,500 reactor years of civil power generation, there have been no major accidents with human casualties except Chernobyl, which is largely irrelevant to anything built outside the Soviet Union, or indeed in that part of the world since then.
Most governments have called for a review of nuclear safety standards following the Fukushima accident, and clearly that makes good sense. However, I personally doubt if very much will show up that has not already been built into current reactor designs and national regulations, which are more conservative now than in the 1960s when Fukushima Dai-ichi was designed and most of it built.
The public impact of the accident has been greater than any previous one due to the use of social media and the visual impression of three reactor buildings with their upper portions wrecked by hydrogen explosions. (The Three Mile Island accident in 1979 was boring visually.) The release of radioactivity was unprecedented for a Western-type nuclear plant, and reporting of this was predictably hyped and confused. But few reports related these levels of either radioactive contamination, or personal exposure, to what we are all subject to every day of our lives. So people freaked out at trivial reported levels while admiring their granite worktops, going on skiing holidays and flying round the world—all of which would increase personal doses more than those for the plant's neighbours.
There is no reason to suppose that once cooling is restored to the three reactors and four fuel ponds using the built-in systems (or a secure substitute) the evacuees will not be able to return and resume their lives as far as the tsunami devastation allows.
What other major industrial accident has had such low human casualties—no deaths or serious injuries from radiation, at least thus far, and only three deaths on the Tepco site from the actual quake and tsunami? If it were a coastal LNG terminal overwhelmed by a tsunami more than twice as big as it was designed for, the mind boggles.
The proposition is absurd and short-sighted. Nuclear power is timely for now and greatly needed.
