Part-time power is worse than having no power at all: our industrial heartbeat and the timing of daily chores hasn’t been dictated by the weather for more than a century. Harnessing thermal power set us on the road to the modern, ordered and (largely) civil society we presently enjoy. For a refresher course Google up … Continue reading Intermittent Wind & Solar Power No Match For Around-the-Clock Nuclear Power

No Blank Cheques: No One Wants to Pay a Nickel More for Renewables & ‘Climate Action’
The difference between virtue signalling and personal sacrifice is evident when the hat gets passed around to pay for so-called “climate action” - which simply means more, and endless, subsidies for chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The trope has it that it’s the youth who are most adamant about trashing ever reliable and affordable electricity … Continue reading No Blank Cheques: No One Wants to Pay a Nickel More for Renewables & ‘Climate Action’
Back-off Boris: Australia in No Mood for Lecture on Energy Policy from Brits
Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson is running energy policies that were written by and for the Greens. Touting an all-wind powered future and an end to fossil fuels, his little island nation has already experienced mass blackouts courtesy of its obsession with wind power and is set for a whole lot more if Johnson’s plans get anywhere … Continue reading Back-off Boris: Australia in No Mood for Lecture on Energy Policy from Brits

Share prices in uranium miners are on the rise, much to the horror of the wind and solar ‘industries’. Despite efforts of the wind and solar cult to unwind nuclear power in Germany, and elsewhere, the recent share market surge suggests there’s a resurgence of interest in uranium miners - share prices in one Australian … Continue reading Nuclear Renaissance: Looming Net-Zero Targets Driving Uranium Miners’ Share Price Surge
Subsidy Bonanza: Wind Industry Demands Even More Subsidies for Pointless Transmission Lines
Wind power will never truly compete with reliable generators, hence the endless subsidies. Now, the wind industry wants even more subsidies to pay for the transmission lines that would allow it to send its chaotic wares halfway across Australia. The claim is that another so-called ‘interconnector’ will help South Australian wind power outfits to deliver … Continue reading Subsidy Bonanza: Wind Industry Demands Even More Subsidies for Pointless Transmission Lines
Avoidable Self Harm: Dogged Reliance On Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Power Supply Chaos

Insatiable: Coal-Fired Power Continues its Dominance in Energy Hungry China
The anti-energy/anti-civilisation squad keep predicting the end of coal and coal-fired power. But in China and India the demand for the black stuff - and the cheap and reliable power it delivers - is insatiable, and rising. Notwithstanding a global economic wind down during the Covid-19 outbreak, Chinese demand for coal is about to reach … Continue reading Insatiable: Coal-Fired Power Continues its Dominance in Energy Hungry China
Emergency Response: Wind & Solar Debacle Forces Government to Build Gas-Fired Power Plants

Fantasyland Fiction: Batteries Will Never Solve Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
For almost a century, electricity generation and distribution were treated as a tightly integrated system: it was designed and built as one, and is meant to operate as designed. However, the chaotic delivery of wind and solar have all but trashed the electricity generation and delivery system, as we know it. Germany, South Australia, Texas … Continue reading Fantasyland Fiction: Batteries Will Never Solve Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
