Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not generate carbon dioxide gas in the process. So why is it that those fretting about human-generated carbon dioxide gas aren’t screaming its merits from the rooftops? There are plenty among them who fit the category of ‘human hater’ - the kind who see … Continue reading No-Brainer: Nuclear Power Only Solution For Those Fretting About Carbon Dioxide Gas

Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Having gouged $billions from power consumers and taxpayers to subsidise hopelessly unreliable wind and solar, the Federal government wants us to pay $millions more to undo the damage done to our once reliable power supply by its Renewable Energy Target. The point and purpose of subsidies and mandated targets favouring wind and solar was … Continue reading Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power, Right Now!
The character who frets about human generated carbon dioxide gas and who isn’t talking about a nuclear-powered future, will never be taken seriously. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation system that does not emit carbon dioxide gas in the process. And, whereas wind and solar are hopelessly unreliable and chaotically intermittent, nuclear power … Continue reading Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power, Right Now!
Black Forest’s Bleak Future: German Wilderness Wiped Out to Make Way For 1,000 Wind Turbines
Apparently, turning wilderness into smouldering ash is all for the greater good, provided it’s to make way for 260m high/300 tonne industrial juggernauts, aka wind turbines. Germany has speared over 30,000 of these things across its countryside. As land for doing so has become increasingly scarce, the strategy has been to clear-fell forests that were … Continue reading Black Forest’s Bleak Future: German Wilderness Wiped Out to Make Way For 1,000 Wind Turbines
Energy Means Life: Fossil Fuel Use Continues to Surge And The World’s All The Better For It
Grinding poverty is synonymous with the absence of reliable and affordable fossil fuel-based energy systems. Whether it’s oil for transport, gas for heating and cooking or coal for electricity, any country with a living standard worth having has access to at least two or more of the foregoing. Take a peek at a night-time satellite … Continue reading Energy Means Life: Fossil Fuel Use Continues to Surge And The World’s All The Better For It
Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
Base-load power means the stuff generated by coal, gas, nuclear and, where nature permits, hydro. Anyone claiming that wind or solar fit within that mix has never seen a sunset or experienced a burst of dead calm weather. And there’s the rub. Mass blackouts and power rationing in notionally wind and solar powered California during … Continue reading Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
New Nuclear Plants Herald Affordable & Reliable Energy Future For United Arab Emirates
There’s a simple reason that STT backs nuclear power: it works. Delivering affordable power 24 x 365 is the name of the game, something wind and solar are incapable of delivering, and which some 450 nuclear plants around the world have been doing day in day out, for years. Amongst the climate hysterics it’s easy … Continue reading New Nuclear Plants Herald Affordable & Reliable Energy Future For United Arab Emirates
Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar
It’s not just wind and solar power’s pathetic performance that makes the whole virtue signalling exercise so utterly pointless. It’s also the fact that, to generate anything other than a trivial amount of electricity, you need the best part of a continent’s land area to do it. To accommodate 2,000 MW of coal, gas or … Continue reading Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar
Last Man Standing: China Defies Biden’s Climate Crusade Against Coal-Fired Power
The CCP won’t let America’s climate industrial complex interfere with its economic ambitions, key to which is its burgeoning supply of reliable and affordable coal-fired power. Whereas Australia’s suicidal renewable energy obsession has destroyed this country’s competitive advantage, the only interest China has in wind turbines and solar panels is making them and flogging them … Continue reading Last Man Standing: China Defies Biden’s Climate Crusade Against Coal-Fired Power
Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
Germany’s renewable energy ‘transition’ has turned into high farce: a week after it forced the shutdown of 11 coal-fired power plants, it was forced to reopen them to avoid mass blackouts. German power prices - already the highest in Europe (if not the world) - are running out of control. The recent legislated ban … Continue reading Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
