Nuclear power isn’t expensive: the nuclear-powered French pay around half what wind and solar-powered Danes and Germans do (see above). And the French don’t suffer the power rationing and blackouts their German neighbours do, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Indeed, it’s nuclear power from France and coal-fired power from Poland that … Continue reading Nuclear Renaissance Heralds Immortal Age of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power

Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when households and businesses need it, has absolutely no commercial value. Hence the massive and endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and the punitive mandates that force retailers to take it, ahead of the reliable and affordable stuff. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output … Continue reading Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
The failure to advance nuclear power in this country to replace coal-fired plants being driven out of business by massive subsidies to wind and solar beggars belief. Everyone with half a brain is alive to the fact that chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are responsible for Australia's power pricing and supply calamity Australian households … Continue reading Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Demand Control: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Routine State-Controlled Power Rationing
Delusional reliance on unreliable wind and solar is a reason that governments are interfering in consumers’ power usage. Pitched under the euphemism “demand management”, state-controlled power rationing is the natural consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. When the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought … Continue reading Demand Control: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Routine State-Controlled Power Rationing
Ethical Vacuum: RE Batteries & All Electric Vehicles Drive Demand For “Blood Minerals”
As the truth gets out, the smugness that comes with owning (and sometimes driving) a Tesla may be harder to maintain than the vehicle itself (see above). The trope has it that soon we’ll all be auto-piloted by EVs charged by electrons lovingly caressed from sunshine and breezes. Although, if that vision is ever realised, … Continue reading Ethical Vacuum: RE Batteries & All Electric Vehicles Drive Demand For “Blood Minerals”
Renewables Rejected: World’s Poorest Crave Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Eco-zealots ram wind and solar power down the throats of Third World governments, purporting to save the planet and drag millions out of poverty. But it never takes their targets long to work out that wind and solar power are both insanely expensive and hopelessly unreliable; sitting in the dark, night after night, generally does … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: World’s Poorest Crave Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Reality Bites: Germany’s Wind & Solar Transition Declared Abject Failure
The German government’s cultish obsession with wind and solar is a mixture of wishful thinking and mass delusion. Both have collided with reality as Vlad Putin continues to put the squeeze on Europe’s gas supplies - gas which has been used to run the banks of fast-start-up gas turbines essential to backing up mammoth, sudden … Continue reading Reality Bites: Germany’s Wind & Solar Transition Declared Abject Failure
Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
If climate change is a problem, then wind turbines and solar panels aren’t a solution: heavily subsidised and unreliable wind and solar are an economic and environmental disaster. When climate alarmists managed to hijack energy (and with it economic) policy it was a case of lunatics taking over the asylum. In every breath, they exhort … Continue reading Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
Chasing The ‘Green’ Energy Dream: Or ‘How I Wasted 20 Years of My Life’
Plenty start out as fans of wind and solar power and turn against it, but it's hard to find opponents who later become supporters. Present the facts to reasonable people, and they’ll want to know how the wind and solar scam got started in the first place and why it hasn’t been stopped in its … Continue reading Chasing The ‘Green’ Energy Dream: Or ‘How I Wasted 20 Years of My Life’
No More Lip Service: The Time for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear is Right Now
Australia’s Renewable Energy Target directs more than $7 billion a year in subsidies to wind and solar and is doing precisely what it was designed to do: namely, destroying Australia’s reliable and affordable power supplies. At the political level, the scramble is now on to keep coal-fired power plants up and running, wait for it, … Continue reading No More Lip Service: The Time for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear is Right Now
