Markets don’t lie. The growth in demand for uranium is driven by the world’s growing demand for nuclear power. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the number of mines and states that have banned them, is the world’s third-largest uranium exporter. Happy to export it, but too dim to use it … Continue reading Rising Australian Uranium Exports Proves Growing Demand For Nuclear Power

Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
When Finland powered up its latest nuclear power plant in April wholesale power prices dropped 75%, almost overnight. The Olkiluoto 3 plant (above) is fully operational, generating 1,600 MW of electricity on demand (irrespective of the weather), and delivering 15% of the country’s power needs. Nuclear now provides around half of the country’s total electricity … Continue reading Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
Destination Disaster: Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Mass Blackouts & Crippling Prices
Backing ideology over sound engineering was never the smartest ploy. Now the ideologues are in a flat panic as the public begins to realise that they’ve been lied to, all along. The ‘renewables are cheap’ story doesn’t seem to cut it anymore, with Australian households and businesses set for 25-30% increases in their power bills … Continue reading Destination Disaster: Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Mass Blackouts & Crippling Prices
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turning First World Economies Into First Order Disasters
Make electricity unreliable and unaffordable and you’ll soon turn your economy to ashes. Australia is on the brink of a major recession, and energy costs are front and centre. Power prices will jump by 25 to 30% next month following the closure of yet another perfectly operable 2,000MW coal-fired power plant. Since the Federal Government’s … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turning First World Economies Into First Order Disasters
Punishment Guaranteed: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Power Price Shock
The clowns have taken over the circus and are firmly in charge of energy policy, which in its design and implementation makes a three-ringed circus look like a Benedictine Monastery. It's said you shouldn't put down to conspiracy what can be chalked up to incompetence. Well, with Australian power prices rising at double-digit rates every … Continue reading Punishment Guaranteed: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Power Price Shock
Renewables Zealots Love Spearing Wind Turbines in Your Backyard – But Not Their Own
Rank hypocrisy comes in all shapes and sizes, but the kind that attends the renewable energy zealot is an altogether different species. The wind power acolyte is always ready to spear hundreds of giant 240m (787ft) high industrial wind turbines into your backyard, but hits the apoplexy button if the ‘favour’ looks likely to be … Continue reading Renewables Zealots Love Spearing Wind Turbines in Your Backyard – But Not Their Own
Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
Following the closure of another coal-fired power plant, Australians have just been told their power bills will jump by 25 to 30% come July. That colossal hike follows annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was … Continue reading Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation
Renewable energy rent seekers and the wind and sun cult hate nuclear power because it works, 24 x 365, whatever the weather. It doesn’t need batteries and it doesn’t need backup. Wind and solar, on the other hand, will never amount to meaningful power sources - ever. No amount of finessing the facts can change … Continue reading Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation
Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
To call Australia’s wind power output “pathetic” is to flatter it. Turbines with a total capacity of 10,277 MW are spread from Far North Queensland, across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia - and all connected to the Eastern Grid. On rare occasions, the combined output reaches around 60% of their total notional … Continue reading Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
As wind and solar capacity increases, it becomes increasingly evident they are hopelessly incapable of delivering power as and when we need it. Back in January 2021, Germany shut down 11 coal-fired power plants (with a total capacity of 4.7 GW). That shutdown lasted eight days, with most of the plants up and running by … Continue reading Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
