Nuclear power’s timely renaissance is being led by Canada and the US, with plenty of others following suit. Any country that’s serious about reliable and affordable electricity is getting serious about nuclear power. Britain is crab-walking away from its offshore wind power disaster, with its government recently announcing plans to pump up nuclear power generation, … Continue reading America & Canada Get Serious & Go Full-Steam Ahead With Nuclear Renaissance

Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
While discovering electricity was part insight, superstition and serendipity, harnessing it for good came down to the laws of physics and sound engineering. Exciting as it might be, feeling your hair stand up during an electrical storm was never going to alter the course of human affairs. Whereas the ability to generate and then deliver … Continue reading Devil’s Work: Weather-Dependent Wind Power Generation Simply Impossible to Control
Contrarian Ontarians: Canadians Lead Charge On Cheap, Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power
Canada is yet another case that buries the lie that nuclear power is expensive. The only stand-alone generation source that does not generate carbon dioxide gas during the process, you’d think that the climate cult would be screaming from the rooftops to get nuclear power plants built as a matter of pressing urgency. But, not … Continue reading Contrarian Ontarians: Canadians Lead Charge On Cheap, Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power
‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked
Every good cult needs a mantra. For the anti-progress crowd, it’s the line that ‘green’ is good. However, in the way that Humpty Dumpy could make words mean anything he chose them to mean, ‘green’ has taken on a meaning all of its own. The same goes for the nonsense tag ‘renewable’; there’s nothing renewable … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked
Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes
Germany’s so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ was in strife before Vlad Putin invaded Ukraine; post invasion, it’s a diabolical mess. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe's highest power prices; since Putin’s Ukrainian adventure began, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. In … Continue reading Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes
Worthless Wind & Solar: Once Again Output Totally Collapses During Freezing Weather
Keen to survive when dead-calm, freezing weather sets in? You’d better have access to nuclear or fossil-fuelled power sources, simply because wind and solar generators are bound to deliver absolutely nothing, at all. Texans and Germans know all about it. Now, Canadians are getting a taste of what it is when you pin your daily … Continue reading Worthless Wind & Solar: Once Again Output Totally Collapses During Freezing Weather
Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Ontario’s government determined to eliminate coal-fired power in the deluded belief that wind power would soon replace it. The result, as the protesters above predicted, has been an unmitigated economic disaster. Power prices in the Province have spiralled out of control, as a direct result of its suicidal energy policy. Thousands of jobs have been … Continue reading Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Banquet of Consequences: Time to Force Wind & Solar Worshippers to Rely Exclusively on Sunshine & Breezes
Anyone railing against nuclear, coal or gas-fired power hasn’t been forced to rely exclusively on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar. The anti-fossil fuel crowd are, of course, hypocritical and the anti-CO2/anti-nuclear mob are the most hypocritical of all. For those claiming they’re quite happy to do without coal and gas, wait till one of their … Continue reading Banquet of Consequences: Time to Force Wind & Solar Worshippers to Rely Exclusively on Sunshine & Breezes
Decade of Despair: Counting Staggering Cost of Ontario’s Wind Power Disaster
It took Ontario’s Green-left lunatics less than a decade to destroy its once reliable and eminently affordable power supply. It was deliberate, it was malicious and it was, in economy wrecking terms, very effective. Dressed up under the guise of its Green Energy Act, the mandated targets for, and preferential treatment of, wind power, the … Continue reading Decade of Despair: Counting Staggering Cost of Ontario’s Wind Power Disaster
Reality Check: Green Energy Fantasies Threaten Post COVID Economic Recovery
There’s debate over which did more harm: the coronavirus or government policy responses to it. But there’s no argument that our economic recovery requires reliable and affordable electricity. Which means that the current arguments about recharging economies using heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar are as dangerous as they are delusional. Ross McKitrick … Continue reading Reality Check: Green Energy Fantasies Threaten Post COVID Economic Recovery
