Nuclear is the only stand-alone power generation system that does not generate CO2 during the process, that delivers power 24 x 365 – irrespective of the weather or time-of-day – with no need for batteries and no need for back up.
The wind and sun cult have always pitched their case on the claim that wind turbines and solar panels are the only way of removing carbon dioxide gas from power generation (always on the assumption that plant food is poison).
The propaganda squad that runs interference for rent-seeking, crony capitalists cashing in on the grand wind and solar scam knows full well that nuclear power is the greatest, single threat faced by their paymasters. Hence the hysteria that follows the mere mention of nuclear power.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup.
We kick off with the team from Jo Nova, reporting on moves by the Trump administration to power up work on micro-reactors. Four new designs made the cut by the 4 July Independence Day deadline. One of them was designed by an Australian, Bobby Gallagher, and so compact that it will fit in the back of an Aussie farmer’s ute – or rancher’s pick up, as our American cousins would say (see above).

Remember when groovy ‘green’ hydrogen was the thing? No? Seems everyone has forgotten about that ludicrous limb of the greatest scam of all time. Eric Worrall reports that, while the great hydrogen hoax is dead and buried, Australian taxpayers have been left with a collective bill of more than $50 million for just 3 heavily-hyped projects that collapsed under the weight of their own economic stupidity.

Watts Up with That?

Indonesia and India not only share some important aspects of their cultural history, as developing economies with hundreds of millions aspiring to better standard of living, they also share a common sense approach to energy – focusing on coal, oil and gas to drag their people out of collective poverty, as Vijay Jayaraj reports.

Robert Bradley calls out the hypocrisy of the rent-seeking class, once again. This time it’s the solar subsidy scammers who claim, on the one hand, that solar power has never been cheaper, and, on the other, keep their hands out for massive subsidies which need to keep flowing until kingdom come.

For years now, security experts have pointed to the inherent vulnerability of wind turbine operations to cyber attack, hacking and the like. Andrew Lee reports on one such event that occurred in Poland last year.

House fires caused by domestic solar installations are, yet another, of one of those troublesome facts for the wind and sun cult. The increasing number of spontaneous self-combustion events (more than 200 last year in the UK alone) has insurers reconsidering their risk profile, and pricing their policies accordingly, as Paul Homewood reports.

Not a Lot of People Know That

Richard Willoughby writes ‘Building a 100% “renewables” grid for the Australian NEM remains firmly in the realm of fantasy for the present time. Achieving the first 50% has caused a 4-fold increase in base load cost and the next 50% will cause another 4-fold increase’.
