September 21, 2010 News-Wyoming Joint Minerals Committee Meets in Jackson Hole
It's not often that I get to attend meetings with reporters and hear the same thing they did and then read the story and wonder, "Was I in the same room?" Today, I have a story about GE retooling the test coal gasification plant it is building with the University of Wyoming. This story was based upon testimony offered by representatives of GE and the University of Wyoming to the Wyoming Joint Minerals, Business and Economic Development Interim Committee during a meeting in Jackson Hole yesterday. What I heard was that GE lost its partner customer, because many utilities canceled coal-related projects totaling 87 gigawatts over the last four years. The customer cancellation is giving GE the opportunity to refine its feedstock assumptions for the plant.
In my view, coal plant cancellations have been in the news for some time, particularly given very low natural gas prices, which make gas-fired plants much more financially attractive, concerns over the financial impact of an implementation of any sort of carbon tax, and objections from special interest groups against new coal plant construction. Though there was some discussion about the failed climate bill and the implications for a renewable energy standard, I didn't hear anyone say that it was failed climate legislation that dealt any setback for the plant.
Maybe it happened when I was out of the room.

Biodiversity, Climate Change and Marmots
Most of the global warming hand-wringing to date has focused on adverse impacts--pine beetles killing off forests, polar bears losing ice caps. Finally, today, an article on ninemsn.com puts a positive spin on an animal population--the marmot. Apparently in Colorado, the marmot average weight is increasing and its population is expanding as longer summers give the animals enough time to put on weight, repopulate and then go back to hibernate. Score one point for global warming.

Trouble Meeting RPS Standards and Other News
Recently there have been calls to allow California utilities buy more renewable power from outside the state and to buy renewable credits to meet RPS standards. The reasons are clear in an article today, from the LA Times, which reports that California utilities are having a hard time meeting the current 20% RPS goal by year end. The reasons are many and are described in the article. California is such an interesting case, as a large economy reliant on power imported from neighboring states, but its situation is not unique. States in the Northeast are also finding it a challenge to meet RPS standards on in-state generated alternative power. Will these RPS standards force California to abandon its ban on new nuclear power to achieve its goals, or will it continue to rely on other states for its energy destiny?

Areva's Loan Guarantee and Pavillion's EPA Wells
In today's news, Areva's acceptance of the DOE loan guarantee on its proposed Idaho Falls enrichment facility is the biggest story. As many in the nuclear fuel cycle business know, the 2013 expiration of the Megatons to Megawatts agreement with the Russians means that the US nuclear industry will need to find alternate sources of uranium fuel stock. Urenco's New Mexico enrichment facility, Areva's plant and USEC's facility will all be coming on line to meet the industry needs for fuel. Timing is everything, and we will be watching to see if the NRC construction permit tracks its timeline so that Areva can begin building in 2011 and delivering product by 2014.
The article on the Pavillion test wells is very relevant, as this community was one of the first in the United States to claim its water wells had been contaminated by fracking fluid. The alternate view point is that the wells had been contaminated by chemicals that had been dumped on the surface or buried over many years and had only now reached the water table. The EPA plans to hold a community meeting later in the year to provide the test results.
