      China Building Nuclear Reactors With Radically Different Design
      “Are pebble reactors the future of nuclear power? @greenpeace says no nuclear reactor is safe. - http://nyti.ms/i6yqaQ” 
      For that matter life is not safe.  There are no survivors.
      There are too many moving parts to a pebble bed reactor.
      There is a great deal of radiologically hot junk. There are dust
      considerations.  The Chinese are welcome to make it work.
      We can steal the design.  
      Under the one child policy there are no disposable people.
      The high population requires that land be conserved and put in production.  
      That China is building reactors speaks to the economics of solar.

      Madoff Explains Everything

      As i watch the politics swirl around the Occupy Wall Street movement, I find myself thinking about Bernie Madoff. Bear with me here; this might even make sense.
      The Madoff affair, as you may know, was a classic case of “affinity fraud”; Madoff was able to gain the trust of wealthy Jews by persuading them that he was their kind of guy. Affinity fraud lies behind a lot of financial scams — and it lies behind a lot of political scams too.
      Right now, the campaign against OWS basically tries to get working Americans to turn on the movement, even though most people support the movement’s goals, by trying to make it seem as if the protestors are people not like you — whereas the plutocrats are. Hey, this has worked many times in the past; that’s the whole point of “What’s the matter with Kansas.” And it can operate in many directions: OWS should be shunned because they’re dirty hippies, Elizabeth Warren is not-like-you because, horrors, she’s a Harvard professor.
      And now that I think of it, the generalized theory of affinity fraud extends beyond politics to things like financial analysis. I’ve marveled now and then on this blog about the continued popularity on Wall Street of inflationistas, who have been wrong about everything. I suspect that a lot of it is that economists who issue dire warnings about deficits and money growth come across as the kind of people they’d like to hang out with at the golf course, whereas bearded professors don’t.
      So what to do? Within limits, one should try to allay unnecessary social dissonance. If you’re going to have a demonstration on behalf of working Americans, can the drumming circles. The class warriors on the right want to convince people it’s really a culture war, and you don’t want to make their job easier.
      But there are limits. No, I won’t take up golf."

      A Certificate of Embarrassment
      “The NYT has it exactly right: "It was a profoundly low and debasing moment in American political life." http://nyti.ms/iG9qf7”

      Civil discourse failed.  
      Faith implies religious war.

      Start-Up Handles Social Media Background Checks
      “Start-Up Handles Social Media Background Checks - http://nyti.ms/pxqFWF” 
      One really has no expectation of privacy for what is posted on the web.  The rules of radio really apply.  The only way I can see is to not give a traceable identifier.  This probably involves paying cash for a computer and not buying any kind of maintenance contract on it.  Use it to acquire a Gmail address in a name you have not used before.  Use the G mail account to sign on to Bloger.  Do not monetize.  Do not use identifiers.  Enable comments.  Read the TOS.
      Making it findable with search is probably a poor idea.  Mail the label to the person you want to read it.  A public Wi-fi or a DSL not assigned to an ISP is probably sufficiently anonymous. I will have to check Google's terms of service.

      Gas Drillers Recycle Wastewater, but Risks Remain
      “Despite industries cllaim it is safe. It is not Gas Drillers Recycle Wastewater, but Risks Remain - http://nyti.ms/hiOCho” 

      "One executive at a drilling wastewater recycling company said that for all the benefits of recycling, it was not a cure-all.
      “No one wants to admit it, but at some point, even with reuse of this water, you have to confront the disposal question,” said Brent Halldorson, chief operating officer of Aqua-Pure/Fountain Quail Water Management, adding that the wastewater contains barium, strontium and radioactive elements that need to be removed."
      The water does not go away and neither do the salts in it.
      Treatment generally does not remove dissolved salts that are not consumed biologically.
      Regulatory capture.  These are very bad boys.

      Evangelicals Are Joining Obama on Immigration Overhaul
      “Evangelicals Are Joining Obama on Immigration Overhaul - http://nyti.ms/dzKh6s”

      http://loyalopposition.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/18/dhs-responds-on-deportation/?ref=immigrationandemigration

      "Assuming the accuracy of the 90% figure, Homeland Security only needs to find another 40,000 immigrants a year that fall into one of the “priority categories” in order to keep deporting 400,000. Not impossible. But that suggests the policy is not designed to bring real changes, and that Homeland Security “has no intention of truly focusing its efforts on criminals” (as I put it)."

      Janet Nepolitano Should join the Heritage Foundation very soon.

        There has been no significant movement toward federal immigration reform since a bipartisan effort died in 2007, blocked by conservative opposition. ...

      The Road Not Taken
      “The Road Not Taken - http://nyti.ms/mWC1TA Note the warnings of conservative David Brooks.”
      A tree speaks from the forest.
      David Brooks may yet confess that he has sold his soul.
      It must have seemed a good bargain in pyrite.
      I have seen no sign of practical conservatives.
