Texas stands at the crossroads of an energy transformation. We conclude that in-situ uranium recovery is not only safe and environmentally responsible, but is also essential for securing America’s energy independence and supporting the growth of clean, reliable nuclear power.
The weekend of Saturday and Sunday, September 3th and 4th, at both 11 am (EDT) and 8 pm (EDT) on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY radio program on America Out Loud Talk Radio, Michael D. Campbell was interviewed by Dr. Jay H. Lehr, who was one of Mr. Campbell's geology professors at Ohio State in the 1960s.

A virtual summary presentation was made on October 1, 2020 for the 2020 ACE Ted-Like Talk Session on "What's New in Energy Resources" by Michael D. Campbell, Chairman, EMD’s Uranium (Nuclear & REE) Committee:. entitled: “Uranium and Nuclear Power are on the Move ...".
Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., EVP and Chief Geologist/Chief Hydrogeologist of I2M Consulting and Henry M. Wise, P.G., Senior Remediation Specialist, of SWS Services, in the Houston, Texas area, both of whom are affiliated with the AAPG’s Energy Minerals Division’s Uranium (Nuclear and Rare Earth) Committee, have republished their popular paper on media bias against uranium recovery and nuclear power development in the new, international Journal of Geology and Geoscience. The pre-publication version is available now (here).
The journal editors encouraged the I2M team to publish an updated version of the paper that now connects to the I2M Web Portal. This will provide a broader audience to the issues discussed in the paper.
This is a brief update published by the Journal of Geology and Geoscience and produced by I2M’s Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., Henry M. Wise, P.G. (of SWS Environmental Services, LLC), and I2M’s M. David Campbell, P.G. based on the 2017 Mid-Year Report from the Chair, Uranium (Nuclear and Rare Earth) Committee of the Energy Mineral Division (AAPG) was released November 26, 2017. Some 99 nuclear power plants in the U.S. remain in operation, a few are scheduled for retirement, two new reactors are being built in Georgia. Japan is slowly upgrading and re-starting its fleet of nuclear power plants after Fukushima. China is rapidly building some 25 new plants and hundreds more are planned, along with financially underwriting the construction of more than 40 projects in joint ventures with other countries.
Russia too is building new nuclear plants at home, and they are testing a “fast breeder” design that consumes most waste. Russia is building nuclear plants on behalf of other countries as well, and providing financing in competition with China. India has turned to nuclear to ramp up electricity production to match population growth rates and is also working on “fast breeder” designs. Other countries are also building nuclear plants funded from a variety of sources. For the details on the […]
Michael D. Campbell, P.G., P.H., and I2M’s EVP and Chief Geologist/Chief Hydrogeologist, announced today the release of a new review of paper as part of I2M’s program to review biased media reports or otherwise faulty articles in the press and other types of media and reports, see Review #28, These reports come from the national media, film producers, national and local adversarial groups, local citizens groups and the attorneys who represent them, all of whom are anti-nuclear power, anti-uranium mining, and/or are wind or solar energy proponents, or attorneys who represent any or all of them.
After many years of reviewing such reports, articles, etc. produced by the media, the general consensus of the I2M personnel is that they many seem to exhibit many shortcomings in common in terms of underlying agenda. I2M personnel review and comment on articles selected through a process involving at least three and perhaps additional I2M Associates and selected members of the EMD UCOM, and to publish their collective reviews In the I2M Associates’ Biased Media Report as an educational contribution to geoscientists worldwide, regulatory agency personnel, and to the general public. For a more detailed discussion of the I2M program objectives, see (more).
By invitation from the EMD President, an article has been published by I2M’s Chief Geologist/Principal Hydrogeologist, Michael D. Campbell, in AAPG’s The Explorer, November issue, 2014. It is entitled: Notoriety Notwithstanding, Nuclear Revival is Under Way (more).
This is a summary of the original article entitled: A Perspective on Nuclear Power, Uranium, and Post-Fukushima Revival (more). See the latter… for the rest of the story.
I2M has updated and re-released the 2007 position paper in PDF format on combating news media bias against uranium exploration, mining, and domestic nuclear power for generating electricity. I2M will continue to encourage those interested in examining media bias to submit examples from the media of such bias (more).
