The current estimated value of the oil is 280 billion. This is about $110 million worth of oil associated each Falkland Island resident. A war was fought in 1982 over …
NEI Magazine looks at the history and details of the SWU (enrichment) market The capacity of all these potential centrifuge and laser projects totals almost 90 million SWU per year, sufficient to meet the needs of WNA’s Upper Scenario for the year 2024, and well in excess of requirements before that year and for the …
Business Week reports that analysts like Broadpoint AmTech believe that Google’s 1 Gigabit per second network will cost about $3000-$8000 per home to implement Google wants to offer 1 gigabit-per-second speeds to some 50,000 to 500,000 people. At 2.6 people per household, that roughly translates to 20,000 to 200,000 homes. Our friend Ben Schachter, Internet …
NY Times – The USA is contemplating indefinite operating extensions. Increasingly dependable and emitting few greenhouse gases, the U.S. fleet of nuclear power plants will likely run for another 50 or even 70 years before it is retired — long past the 40-year life span planned decades ago — according to industry executives, regulators and …

Researchers developed a set of conditions in which leptin treatment potently improves diabetes independent of its ability to correct weight and food intake. The new findings confirm what some at least had already suspected: that leptin’s antidiabetic effects are independent of the hormone’s well-known ability to reduce body weight. Researchers have found that even a …
