If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards

Rent-seekers and the wind and solar cult have conniptions at the merest mention of nuclear power, principally because it works around-the-clock. No need for batteries. No need for back up. Wild claims about the purported benefits of wind and solar never survive the first contact with reality. So, acolytes have to defer and deflect on … Continue reading If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards

Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses

Intermittent wind and solar deliver guaranteed grid chaos and rocketing power prices. Every single country that’s chased the wind and solar pipe dream has watched their power prices go through the roof, with no exception. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. So, don’t say we didn’t warn you. The graphic above … Continue reading Power Supplier Sued For Gaming Market Around Wind & Solar Output Collapses

Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution

  SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating … Continue reading Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution

Fate Sealed: Government Greenlights Wind Industry to Kill 5,000 Whales, Dolphins & Seals

Wiping out hundreds of marine mammals is all in a day’s work for the offshore wind industry. And granting permits to do so, with complete impunity, appears to be the work of the US government. The mindless slaughter of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals is completely legit, thanks to the government-backed licenses known as the … Continue reading Fate Sealed: Government Greenlights Wind Industry to Kill 5,000 Whales, Dolphins & Seals

Hydrocarbons Deliver: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute For Oil, Coal & Gas

The myth that wind and solar are well on the way to replacing the energy provided by oil, coal and gas is just that. With or without mythical mega-batteries, with or without converting wind and solar generated electricity to so-called ‘green’ hydrogen, wind and solar power might occasionally displace conventionally generated electricity, but they haven’t … Continue reading Hydrocarbons Deliver: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute For Oil, Coal & Gas

Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster

You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But Germany’s wind and sun cult are struggling to fool all of the people, for all time. Slowly but surely, the average German is working out that they have been played for fools. As Charles MacKay observed: “Men, it has been well said, think … Continue reading Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster

America’s Declaration of Energy Independence Means More Nuclear Power

Nuclear power doesn’t depend on the weather, and it doesn’t depend upon the whims of despots and cartels. Uranium, the highly-concentrated energy source at its heart, is abundant and readily extracted. All it takes is the wit and the will to do so. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the … Continue reading America’s Declaration of Energy Independence Means More Nuclear Power

Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels

Being entirely dependent upon subsidies and the weather, the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is on a collision course with reality. European states have taken to rejecting the much heralded all wind and sun powered future, en masse. The Swedes are only the latest to join a group more concerned about their citizen's welfare than … Continue reading Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels

Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition

In the 1980s, the Swedes set out to ditch nuclear power and meet a 100% renewable energy target. Now, in the mother of all reversals, Sweden has decided to follow its neighbour - Finland - with its own move towards safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. The Finns are well ahead of the curve. When Finland … Continue reading Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition

Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions

Wind power is delivered chaotically, it’s costly and critically depends on the weather. So, the only purported justification is said to be a reduction of carbon dioxide gas emissions in the electricity generation sector. Putting aside whether there’s any need to do so, STT is happy to attack the myth that wind power does any … Continue reading Irony Alert: Why Offshore Wind Power Increases Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
