A real reporter seeking to be impartial and unbiased would have tried to get a comment from the DOE regarding the basis of the $1.7B contract and why the NMED suggests that it is closer to $4B. Instead, we roll out the same tired anti-LANL people that we can predict with great accuracy their statement before they open up their mouth and speak falsehoods and their opinions in the name of newsworthy reporting.

No one cares what Greg Melo has to say, not DOE, not Congress and certainly not the state of New Mexico. If it costs 4B than it is great news for the state! If it cost 1.7B that is not bad but we could do better! As for Greg,? well ask your self this, after 15-20 years of his same talk what has he accomplished? Maybe he should shutting up for a change and things might go his way. Just saying.

One point of Blog unity is the absolutely worthless nature of Greg Mellow and Jay Coghlan. Neither of them have ever produced anything of value for the United States or for the State of New Mexico. They are champions of their own egos. Sadly, the Santa Fe press is more than happy to indulge them in their phony credentials and uneducated positions.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
