Hanford Site, Washington
In my blog article, Our Nuclear Future - Hanford and Spent Nuclear Fuel, I discussed energy issues, focusing on risks associated with nuclear power plants. and including the risks associated with spent nuclear fuel.
Risks associated with oil drilling are discussed in my article about the Polar Pioneer,
Global Warming and Climate Change - "Polar Pioneer" and Arctic Drilling. These risks increase as oil consumption and resources are impacted by peak oil considerations.
Energy Choices and Risk. This issue is a matter of continuing investigation as we look towards issues of financial risk management, and the costs imposed on society and individuals as discussed in my blog article Externalties.
In my blog article, Financial Rating Agencies and Risk, I discussed Rating Agency Capital models, using a conceptual model of jet engines as an analogy. Fuel and energy are important components of growth and development, and the ability to test a jet engine for the proper mix of fuels that permit combustion under a wide range of situations provides a useful model to compare to the type of modeling required for financial stress testing. In that article, I discussed General Electric (GE)'s Ratings in light of its decision to exit its GE Capital finance arm and divest itself of real estate assets.
The actions of Rating Agencies Standard and Poor's and Moody's are interesting in light of the issues concerning Fukushima and the use of six GE nuclear reactors in the Fukushima Power Plant.
