The profiteers that wallow in the subsidies for unreliable and intermittent wind and solar hate nuclear, principally because it works, 24x365, irrespective of the weather or time-of-day. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not emit carbon dioxide gas during the process. And by reference to the amount of power it … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Quite Simply the World’s Cleanest & Safest Power Generation System

Atomic Alternative: Nuclear Power Only Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions
Householders, businesses, indeed, power consumers of all shapes and sizes are bracing themselves for the suicidal results of looming Net-Zero CO2 emissions targets. We’ll start from the premise that nothing will shake the resolve of the lunatics who pretend to govern us, when it comes to their do or die quest for reducing man-made emissions … Continue reading Atomic Alternative: Nuclear Power Only Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions
Avoidable Self Harm: Dogged Reliance On Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Power Supply Chaos
Sign up for wind and solar and receive power supply chaos as just one of the added extras, along with rocketing power prices and a wave of social and environmental havoc. Australia has been on the path since 2001 when Federal Liberal PM, John Howard introduced his Renewable Energy Target. The Target was greatly expanded … Continue reading Avoidable Self Harm: Dogged Reliance On Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Power Supply Chaos
Calculated Destruction: California’s $5 Trillion Plan to Wreck Its Power Grid With 100% Wind & Solar
California is synonymous with rocketing power prices and mass summer blackouts, courtesy of subsidised wind and solar. Last summer, whenever periods of peak demand coincided with sunset and calm weather, millions were plunged into sweltering darkness. But, for Californians, that indignity was simply a taste of things to come. That’s if California is truly serious … Continue reading Calculated Destruction: California’s $5 Trillion Plan to Wreck Its Power Grid With 100% Wind & Solar
Jumbo Noise Problem: Africa’s Elephants Hate Thumping Droning Wind Turbine Noise
Thumping, grinding wind turbine noise has always been the elephant in the room for the wind industry. Now, it’s the elephants themselves who’ve signalled just how annoying low-frequency wind turbine noise is. Renowned for their acutely sensitive hearing in the lower frequency register, the long-distance communication between Africa’s elephants is being drowned out by an … Continue reading Jumbo Noise Problem: Africa’s Elephants Hate Thumping Droning Wind Turbine Noise
Arrested Development: Without Nuclear Power ‘Net-Zero’ Emissions Targets Are An Economic Suicide Pact
Every advance made by humankind can trace its roots to the control and use of energy. The Industrial Revolution wasn’t powered by wood, nor was the rapid rise of the East Asian economies, over the last generation. Smug in their seemingly dominant prosperity, the leaders of Western nations are bidding to outdo each other in … Continue reading Arrested Development: Without Nuclear Power ‘Net-Zero’ Emissions Targets Are An Economic Suicide Pact
Biden’s Rapacious ‘Green’ Dream: Green New Deal Devouring World’s Rare Earth Minerals
Clean’, ‘green’ wind and solar were meant to save the planet, but the obsession with the unreliables will only expedite its consumption. Every solar panel and every wind turbine are an aggregation of minerals, requiring mountains of real energy in their creation. Many of those minerals are scarce, generally referred to as “rare earths”. Thanks … Continue reading Biden’s Rapacious ‘Green’ Dream: Green New Deal Devouring World’s Rare Earth Minerals
Renewable Energy Obsession Means Brits Pay £10.8 Billion in Wind & Solar Subsidies Every Year
Unreliable, inefficient and insanely costly, there’s plenty to dislike about subsidised wind and solar. British power prices have rocketed; ‘reliability’ is now just a catchphrase; energy poverty is the new normal; and its PM, Boris Johnson apparently couldn’t care less. Indeed, he seems even more fixated on unreliable and unaffordable power, than his predecessors. Dr … Continue reading Renewable Energy Obsession Means Brits Pay £10.8 Billion in Wind & Solar Subsidies Every Year
It Just Ain’t Green: Endless Environmental Havoc Caused By Industrial Wind & Solar Power
The true environmental and social cost of intermittent wind and solar is simply staggering. Millions of solar panels are already being dumped in landfill, and millions of nonrecyclable wind turbine blades are joining them; altogether creating a toxic legacy the generation who blindly championed so-called ‘green’ energy. However, long before the panels and blades get … Continue reading It Just Ain’t Green: Endless Environmental Havoc Caused By Industrial Wind & Solar Power
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
