Most people did not understand that tchnology has to be deployed not just invented. We put much effort into the issues that affected the adoption and maturation of a technology beyond research. I think that all technologies and in fact, all issues or movements must evolve from their infancy to maturity in an evolutionary process, not an event. Funding is always an issue.

Okay, maybe for one or several as needed to uptake failing older tech plant - ie coal - but widespread nukes utility is down-the-track resources demand. Just tpo run the things and keep them safe. They'll defend Thorium - ie NewGen nuke - but like a lot of things which have arisen from slack vision and management in these so-called "abundance" industries - there's a deal of work needed on it before safe deployment is possible. OTOH I'll back calls to efficiency efficiency efficiency and renewables diversity as the solid way forward. One thing about efficiency that should be stressed is for manufacturers to get off their (I sometimes think) gravytrain with established energy and make like much sharper appliances. No power waste operational appliances, for example. best now hi,

I have just put up a post with a series of links to the best blogs that i have found covering the Nairobi climate talks. http://climatechangeaction.blogspot.com/2006/11/blogs-onfrom-unfccc-cop12-mop2-talks.html I think some of these may be of interest. If you have any additions then let me know and I will append them. It is my intention that this post serves as a hub for blog coverage of the talks, if you would like to link to the post that would be great. Many of these blogs are new and therefore difficult to find through technorati/google blog search, and I think there is some value in highlighting blogs that are from rather than mearly about the events unfolding.
