Nuclear works: all day, every day, whatever the weather, no need for batteries and no need for back up. Whereas, wind and solar … well, you know the rest. Incapable of delivering power on demand, the only ‘benefit’ claimed by the wind and sun cult is that wind and solar power purportedly eliminate carbon dioxide … Continue reading Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power

If Wind and Solar Are So Cheap – Why The Need For Massive & Endless Subsidies?
Claims that wind and solar are the cheapest form of energy there is, never survive first contact with reality. The first exhibit is the massive and endless subsidies, without which there would be no wind or solar industries, at all. If left to the market, there would be no generation of wind and solar, at … Continue reading If Wind and Solar Are So Cheap – Why The Need For Massive & Endless Subsidies?
Want Perpetual Chaos & Grinding Energy Poverty: Dial Up Subsidised Wind & Solar
The wind and solar ‘transition’ has nothing to do with providing reliable and affordable power. It’s a wealth transfer from power consumers and taxpayers to rent seekers - driven by ideologues and enabled by politicos who wouldn’t know a kilowatt from their elbow. Australia’s Eastern Grid is a heartbeat away from total collapse. Once upon … Continue reading Want Perpetual Chaos & Grinding Energy Poverty: Dial Up Subsidised Wind & Solar
Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
It takes more than just your average leap of logic to contend that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ constitutes rational energy policy. That so-called ‘policy’ means doling out massive subsidies to wind and solar generators for weather-dependent occasional power; then subsidising coal-fired power plants to stay operating to fill the ‘gaps’ caused by sunset … Continue reading Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure
Once ideologues replaced engineers, reliable and affordable electricity supplies were doomed. It began 20 years ago, with massive subsidies for the occasional production of electricity using wind turbines and solar panels. There was no shortage of perfectly reliable electricity at the time. Back then, electricity was not only reliably delivered on demand, it was cheap. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure
