After the overflow trouble in the 80′s the BLM decided to mantain a lower average level. Also down stream commitments do account for release.

Seconded, I just tried the same request in a different thread but got deleted.

Thanks Jacob – but the trip report you reference predates the Nov. item I highlighted. I’ll not cut and paste from it as it needs to be read – my interpretation is that James Hansen is now strongly positive on nuclear as an energy source and he supports RandD to develop improved technology. I saw earlier comments from him where he stated he had yet to form an opinion on nuclear and that he would investiate further. It appears he has done that investigation and formed his opinion. Your original post at 30 suggested he is silent on nuclear and queried the motivation for this silence – hence I pointed out the Nov 21, 2008 item where he discusses it.

Hansen doesn’t support nuclear power. In his words:
“I have always been agnostic on nuclear power” and: “I can’t seem to agree fully with either the anti-nukes or Blees [pro nukes]… Some of the anti-nukes are friends, concerned about climate change, and clearly good people.”
You see: Hansen is “good people”, the rest – bad people.
Hansen’s position is: phase out coal within 10 years. Unconditionally. If there isn’t enough electricity for our needs – live without it.

I’d like to ask Steve if he would consider opening a thread on it here at CA, as I have a couple of questions I would want to ask about it, but don’t want to be OT here.

Rich.
