NEI Nuclear Notes

From the AP : President Bush, seeking to blunt international criticism of the U.S. record on climate change, on Thursday urged 15 major nations to agree by the end of next year on a global emissions goal for reducing greenhouse gases. Bush called for the first in a series of meetings to begin this fall, bringing together countries identified as major emitters of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

Last Fall, I spent a couple of days at a conference in Las Vegas where I sat in on a discussion of how to use free content to drive purchase of paid content. That session was run by an editor from Fleet Street Publications (FSP), a publisher of investing newsletters, and the free vehicle they used to drive paid subscriptions was something called The Daily Reckoning . After listening for a few minutes, it became pretty clear to me that FSP was one of the few newsletter publishers that had a real handle on what it was going to take to compete in a world that was awash in free content. Why mention this? Because today's edition contains an interesting discussion of international uranium markets . Feel free to take a look.
