Eric Jelinski, nuclear engineer and farmer: Most people have experienced tremendous benefits from oil. Some proclaim themselves to be opponents of oil. Most engineers can explain the significant benefits of oil. This one happens to be a Down-to-Earth nuclear engineer and farmer, whose entire life has been dedicated to the search for the best answers about benefits and risks for energy technologies and their related services and by-products. He does not tolerate artificial, unsound reasoning in industry or government.

Bruno Comby offers his perspective on the 2016 US and 2017 French presidential elections. Massive amounts of clean, reliable energy are needed to support the world population and help protect the environment, maintain wildlife habitat and preserve biodiversity. Otherwise, the world will simply revert to the way it was before use of fossil fuels. Plentiful energy has tremendously improved the lives of many. With sound government policies and worldwide cooperation, it can improve the lives of most of humanity. The present elections in the USA and France are case studies of the challenges governments face and have some pointers of how governments can do better.

Obama's own supporters were surprised to see this rare event of a frozen ocean at Woods Hole. Their website says: "I'm with science. Climate Change is no Hoax." Shouldn't these scientists and the White House check the weather by looking out the window? Is carbon dioxide one of the essential molecules of life? Is it a pollutant at anywhere near today's concentrations?
