The Doomsday Clock, long ago inspired by the “Bulletin of Atomic Scientists”, being reset in 2025 . . .

On My Mind Today:

Time out on day two of the planned move to taking a hard look at nuclear energy rather than nuclear war because I see Trump being virtually torn asunder by the media and many other voices, some honest, some questionable over the “Epstein List” — that Trump said day before yester “didn’t exist” and yesterday claimed it was written by “Obama and Hillary” while all the while Trump fights back with such absurd and impossible lies.

His staff has been forced to lie as well, dodging from “yes” to “no” about the lists existence when anyone who follows this take-down with older, well known images and obviously true stories, along with lawsuits of young girls being forced away by threats, as well as the reason for Epstein’s suicide. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind who doesn’t know and probably hasn’t known for years is pretending — perhaps trying to protect Trump, who should resign as POTUS before the week is out — if he is smart, which he isn’t and take his entire cabinet and administration down with him.

And if that isn’t enough to force him and his staff out, there is this undeniable record of his life and his lack of qualifications to be a dog-catcher or even a citizen free to walk the streets in freedom. Does it really matter that sexual perversion and the atrocious rape of young girls, is the only offense necessary to bring him down? :

I copied the above meme from a trusted friend in Egypt whom I respect and agree with, most of which the world and the American public, if we looked at the facts of life in an unskewed manner would already know. Maybe we do, but maybe we’re in a state of massive denial?

Trump and his dishonest cabinet and other staff must be promptly removed from the Executive branch of our government before a major tragedy is unleashed on us all . . . ~llaw

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Jul 14, 2025

On My Mind Today:

As I’ve pointed out over the years of this daily blog — particularly early on before the threats of nuclear war dramatically increased and Trump was reelected — we need much more realistic and practical views rather than the constant insidious drum of unreachable goals, or “pie-in-the-sky” impossible to achieve world=leader conferences about how we are going to defeat climate change and global warming and yet increase our global demand for more electricity.

The last several United Nations climate change conferences — COP 25 in 2019 thru COP 28 in 2023 have gone realistically nowhere in terms of these international United Nations’ climate change conferences from 2019 to 2023 and, up to now, have been billed as “saviors”, yet little, if any, progress has been made while all the while the atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gasses grow out of control each and every day. demonstrating that these “plans” have never come close to achieving their “optimistic” goals and ultimately constitute nothing more than embarrassing declarations, if not lies, in attempts to pacify those of us (including the conference attendees themselves) who live with the crisis every day of our lives. We eventually forget all about the “miraculous” future clean-air energy-related magic we have been promised.

Here are the promises from the December 2023 COP conference: The 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) concluded with several key promises and agreements, primarily focused on accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels and increasing climate finance. Specifically, nations agreed to work towards tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency improvements by 2030. Additionally, there was a push to phase down unabated coal power and phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, with developed countries taking the lead. A crucial outcome was the operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund, aimed at providing financial assistance to vulnerable nations facing climate change impacts.” (Google AI)

And, as mentioned above, even more optimistically (or impossible), more than 20 countries signed a declaration pledging to TRIPLE global nuclear energy capacity by 2050, meaning a 200% increase in nuclear energy generation compared to 2022 nuclear power.

Such a declaration demonstrates the ridiculous role of nuclear energy to help us achieve net-zero emissions targets and maintaining energy security. However, fyi net zero emissions is an extremely misleading formula because it does not really mean what it says — and that is a story for another day — The meaning is just another misleading and deceptive long-term lie made up by the nuclear industry . . .

There are a few ways and alternatives to recover from what is rapidly flowing toward the end of human and other life on planet Earth, and none of it will be easy, but the first step is to unite as a global world as collective antinuclear individuals and recognize that the best survival tools at our disposal right now are the plentiful renewable power generation resources — e.g. solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass — which would be much easier to subsidize and generally finance if we immediately stop investing entirely in nuclear nightmare suicidal dreams . . .

I have used the COP conferences to describe the uselessness of such global or smaller State or other group conferences, and there are many others, but all of them are deceptively misleading and act more like thumb-sucking pacifiers for the public to comfortably believe that they will live to see another day. ~llaw

All nuclear power steps from exploration to mining to milling to refinement, and even to the end product and beyond unto its wastes are a menace to life on planet Earth! ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

I am just a thoughtful slightly upset, confused, somewhat inhibited, mind-wandering journalist today, trying my best to style the future format here in the best way possible without getting overly technical with ‘all the things nuclear’ I have over some 50 years stuffed in my mind following a career in the nuclear mining and power industry spread over all or parts of three decades, but the important core being the entire 1970s when the nuclear power gained its first ability to sell uranium to commercial reactors at their own negotiated prices, though still with some governmental control over the price of “yellowcake” (U308) on a per-pound basis.

I left the industry in the 2nd quarter of 1980 due to the appalling leadership’s attitude toward concerned protestors and other citizens following the 3 Mile Island partial meltdown of one of their reactors, in the spring of the previous year, which prompted one of our industry corporate presidents to present the nuclear industry in a speech with the new logo-like principle of “Let the Bastards Freeze to Death in the Dark.”, a message that should have turned other corporate executives against the industry simply on its own thoughtlessness and cruelty, but what it did do was to help turn the common world against new nuclear facility enterprises.

Until now, that is! Today we are looking directedly into the face of our fear of an “armageddon-like” WWIII filled with nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Yet we are endorsing, once again — this time on a promise of a huge born-again industry scale filled with new nuclear plants together with the endorsement of questionable industry propaganda, engineering and mining corporations, political endorsements, and other enterprises all preying on the ignorant and innocent public in several unreasonable and dangerous ways, including the myth of nuclear energy solving the threat of global warming and our much needed eventual environmental climate change. Such promises to the world population will never happen for several reasons including time.

So instead of providing clean, safe, and reliable electricity around the world, the insane return to nuclear power adds just one more deadly — meaning the worst of all — environmental poison burden on all oxygen-breathing life on planet Earth . . . ~llaw

This nuclear power facility, owned and operated by California’s PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric Company), located in Diablo Canyon near San Luis Obispo at Avila Beach, California, is the last commercial nuclear power provider in California.

On My Mind Today:

Due to my recent format changes I have begun, once again, numbering the weekend posts as inclusive so that the numerical count is continuous. I had, some time ago, not included the count on weekends because I had altered the format, directed only at media news coverage, usually not including opinion or other additional information or dialogue. Therefore I will (legitimately arrive at the the one thousand and three year anniversary Posts a bit sooner than expected. I write this today just to prevent any confusion from readers as well as myself. llolloll!

For your preliminary information, and as I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, I will be changing the subject from nuclear war to nuclear power/energy, at least for awhile, although if there is unusual or extremely important or surprising news in either category, I will swatch for a day or two or more as necessary to keep you who care informed as our entire nuclear world becomes a bigger and a more complicated and spurious subject to cover — full of some truths, half-trues, unintentional mistakes, intentional mistakes, intentionally wrong propaganda, and just plain misinformation, misconceptions and outright lies from every conceivable direction.

And as a constant reminder I ask you, the reader, to always keep in mind what happened from the very small equivalent of a nuclear bomb to today’s nuclear weapons that ended WWII by devastating two cities full o innocent citizens in Japan, and also why nuclear energy devastated some cities and communities around the globe from nuclear accidents and mother nature’s wrath before we realized that we ought to shut down the advancement of nuclear energy and put the nuclear industry in cold storage for so many years. Why should we change our minds now?

Nuclear proliferation for war or for energy will only make ‘all things nuclear’ more threatening and lethal to us all, including other innocent life that also have an unwritten right to safely occupy planet Earth. ~llaw

Nuclear weapons of mass destruction and the return to nuclear powered energy are spiraling out of control. Let’s not let it happen again . . .

What’s On My Mind Today:

It constantly haunts me that so few of us understands — or even seriously care about or concern themselves with the overall life-threatening uses of all things nuclear — not just relative to threats of nuclear war, but also to the expanding idea and misguided rush to expand and use nuclear power to solve our ever-increasing need for electricity as well as to “solve” the greenhouse gas problem relevant to global warming and climate change. Nuclear energy will not resolve the climate change issue. But it for sure will present us with incredible and expansive future problems that are most likely far beyond our ability to control.

The very last decision to re-awaken the nuclear industry and use nuclear power to solve our energy problem is utter nonsense, but even if you disagree with that view, using nuclear power is undisputedly infinitely more immediately dangerous to humanity and other life than CO2 and other greenhouse gas elements. Nuclear waste, for instance, puts the current and future crisis of global warming to shame, but we seem not to care even though simple science and other critical considerations clearly tell us the differences. And, then, too, there are other serious problems with nuclear energy proliferation so numerous that they border on potential extinction of most all life on the planet, even if a nuclear WWIII war is not involved at all.

And now, today, there is an article that our incompetent U.S. President wants to forge ahead, advancing “at warp speed” because, according to this article from “The Hill”, Our energy future requires a nuclear warp speed (Click on the link to read the story.)

The following lead-line line from the article tells us all that needs to be said at the moment:

Trump’s strategy for energy dominance includes promoting nuclear energy, ending green energy subsidies, and increasing energy production.

I will read the article more carefully this evening or over the weekend along with you . . .

So, in that light, I have decided to begin, starting on Monday, writing a daily weekday article with an opposing rebuttal and sharp criticism of this approach toward alleviating the global energy problem that we have long faced, but have continued from the past to do nothing about, for the better part of a century other than make political and industry false promises to the public to give us hope for a livable future. Promises not kept are not promises, and I will add that, in my opinion, Trump has no more of an idea what needs to be done than he does concerning anything else he lies about . . . ~llaw

“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Jul 10, 2025

On My Mind Today:

This is an unorganized draft of a complaint I am writing to Facebook in protest to them and their AI ‘bots who apparently have no concept about what human kindness or empathy is. Presently, Facebook is one of my minor reader outlets — at least for now — but which will no doubt eventually become the most important social and media source I will need — which has been my plan all along — if my attempted education to the world about the disastrous growth of “All Things Nuclear”, which will likely cause the end of most all life on planet Earth unless we rid ourselves of both nuclear weapons of mass destruction and nuclear power generating plants from all use anywhere and for anything on the globe.

Facebook has refused to allow me to “advertise” — even though I have set up a payment account with them — for my daily blog produced daily as “LLAW’s All Nuclear Daily Digest”, which I have posted for nearly 1,000 consecutive days to a small audience that should by now be in the thousands, including on Facebook and all other media and social news outlets and websites.

Why complain, you ask? Well, Facebook tells me that my blog fails to meet their so-called “Community Standards“ because my posts are not friendly nor kind to other Facebook users, which, since I am trying with what’s left of my aging heart to help save the world from committing lemming-like suicide, meaning the end of human civilization and other life as we know it, which seems to me to be the opposite of my “cruel”, or otherwise “unkind” or non-compliant with other standards such as “Social Issues”, “Elections”, or “Politics”. Such Posts absolutely do not apply to the message(s) in my blog, even if they sometimes contain names of politicians.

Facebook seems to fail to understand that my messages are the most “kind” messages to humanity that we, including myself, have ever known before — other, than perhaps, from those concerned others who deliver the same message around the world as a warning to us all . . .

(Note: I have copies of the rejection notices Facebook has sent to me, but for now l have elected not to post what they have to say on Facebook or on any other social website or service, including the media. I intend to file my protest with Facebook on Friday, or over the weekend, or on Monday, depending on my personal level of anger and disgust relative to their (not my 1st time disputing their issues, btw) insane declarations against me and my ongoing pleas to the world that Facebook seem s to have absolutely bassackwards.) ~llaw

Following is an unavoidable, on my part, partial theft — to read the entire Manifesto, read the entire story from today’s timely article from LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD’S NEWs. This story is a sad but wonderfully, hopefully, told article for today and on into the foreseeable future from the “Union of Concerned Scientists”. The link is posted just below as well as in the section Nuclear War Threats of the nuclear stories in the media articles of nuclear categories listed in the sections down below

Please, if at all possible, take the time to read, understand, and react to this story that has not been properly told for a very long time until now . . .

“Here, then, is the problem stripped for 70 years, which we, who care for the future, present to you, stark and dreadful and inescapable with this question:

Shall we put an end to the human race; or shall mankind renounce war? There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal as human beings to human beings: Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, there lies before you the risk of universal death.” ~a Manifesto from 1955 written by Bartrand Russell and signed by both Russell and Albert Einstein as well as other prominent scientists . . .”

And here we are obviously for a very long time ignored by the nuclear war world of three nations at the time — The United States, Russia, and Britain, but 70 years later there are nine countries and a world of ever greater dissention and fear faced with the possibility of nuclear war, the Manifesto virtually totally ignored the whole time.

What on Earth do we suppose is going to be done about it at this late date? Probably nothing, unless we have a miraculous awakening, with that being extremely doubtful, therefore notwithstanding the greatest miracle ever, as of today and tomorrow even more discouragingly perilous, our world is harking back to the insane concept of flooding the planet with more and more nuclear power plants, which are just as dangerous as nuclear war, if not moreso, and without doubt, just by the numbers, more available and more likely to cause global catastrophe and to guarantee the death of humanity and other earthly life. ~llaw

Nuclear Power Plants across the United States — all without both a nationalized central nuclear waste and protection facility. Nor is there an international waste management dump other than the Pacific Ocean here or around the world, and if we had such facilities, how would we safely transport nuclear waste to them?

So, just a few of the questions are, among hundreds of others — e.g. nuclear war, nuclear fallout, nuclear accidents, nuclear terrorism and on and on — what will become of all of the existing waste, and what will we do with nuclear waste from hundreds, perhaps thousands, of proposed new nuclear plants around the US of A and the globe?

When it comes to all things nuclear everywhere, we definitely have our cart thousands of miles ahead of the horse . . . ~llawSubscribed

Read the sentence at the bottom of the flow chart: It is a huge part of the nuclear waste that’s not recycled and it has nothing to do with the process of a nuclear fuel cycle which is intenionally incomplete and adds to the dirty radioactivity of nuclear waste, which is virtually everywhere there is a nuclear power plant. The reason for the failure to recycle is all about money . . . We will more than pay for it at some necessity point in the future, and it will not be cheap nor safe . . . ~llaw

There are 6 categories, with the latest addition including a bonus non-nuclear category for news about the Yellowstone caldera and other volcanic and caldera activity around the world that also play an important role in human and other life.

The feature categories provide articles and information about ‘all things nuclear’ for you to pick from, usually with up to 3 links with headlines concerning the most important media stories in each category, but sometimes fewer and occasionally even none (especially so with the Yellowstone Caldera).

A current Digest of major nuclear media headlines with automated links is listed below by nuclear Category (in the above listed order). If a Category heading does not appear in the daily news Digest, it means there was no news reported from this Category today. Generally, the three best articles in each Category from around the nuclear world(s) are Posted. Occasionally, if a Post is important enough, it may be listed in multiple Categories.
