Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution

  SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating … Continue reading Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution

Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster

You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But Germany’s wind and sun cult are struggling to fool all of the people, for all time. Slowly but surely, the average German is working out that they have been played for fools. As Charles MacKay observed: “Men, it has been well said, think … Continue reading Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster

Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels

Being entirely dependent upon subsidies and the weather, the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is on a collision course with reality. European states have taken to rejecting the much heralded all wind and sun powered future, en masse. The Swedes are only the latest to join a group more concerned about their citizen's welfare than … Continue reading Peak Renewables: Reality Bites As Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Unravels

Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather

Goldilocks-thinking is the basis for the wind and solar transition, which relies on power sources that can only operate when conditions are “just right”. When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. Solar panels aren’t any … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather

Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide

Germany’s energy ‘policy’ reads like a national suicide pact, one that’s delivered a perfectly predictable power pricing and supply catastrophe. For the crippling prices and routine rationing that’s followed, Germans can thank their purported leaders and their unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, German households and businesses … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide

Great Leap Backwards: Net-Zero Emission Targets Wrecking Western Civilisation

Net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets are just another example of ‘glorious five-year plans’ with monstrous results for all and sundry. The malevolent dictator loves grand sweeping visions, particularly those that diminish their enemies and transfer their wealth to their friends and cronies. So it is with mandated and equally malevolent diktats aimed at reducing … Continue reading Great Leap Backwards: Net-Zero Emission Targets Wrecking Western Civilisation

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

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%

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
