ERRORS in rebuttal to "Pandora's Promise"

4. Kerry didn't lie, in fact he was validated by MIT a decade later

It was the Clinton Administration that halted the IFR program, and did so by having then Senator Kerry LIE to his colleagues in Congress.

Wow - a right-wing conspiracy theory attacking Kerry right after he negotiates an historic agreement between Iran and the P5+1 nations.

No, Kerry didn't lie about the IFR.

Kerry, Clinton, Gore, and Congress were absolutely correct in canceling it.

They were validated by the "most important recommendation" in MIT's 2003 report "The Future of Nuclear Power":

Our analysis leads to a significant conclusion: The once-through fuel cycle best
meets the criteria of low costs and proliferation resistance. Closed fuel cycles
may have an advantage from the point of view of long-term waste disposal
and, if it ever becomes relevant, resource extension. But closed fuel cycles will
be more expensive than once-through cycles, until ore resources become very
scarce. This is unlikely to happen, even with significant growth in nuclear
power, until at least the second half of this century, and probably considerably
later still. Thus our most important recommendation is:

For the next decades, government and industry in the U.S. and elsewhere
should give priority to the deployment of the once-through fuel cycle,
rather than the development of more expensive closed fuel cycle
technology involving reprocessing and new advanced thermal or fast
reactor technologies.

Two of the participants in that report were John Holdren and Ernest Moniz.
Obama selected Holdren to be his Science Advisor,
and Obama appointed Moniz to head the Department of Energy.
