The renewable energy debacle in Germany means that it won’t axe its nuclear plants and is likely to start building more of them, like their French neighbours. The French, of course, set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they’ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over 75% … Continue reading No Brainer: Safe & Affordable Nuclear Power Provides Perfect Pathway to Clean Energy Future

Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
In power-starved Europe, nuclear is back in vogue, principally because it’s cheap and reliable and doesn’t depend on the weather or Russian dictators who supply the gas to fill the gaps when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. There’s a reason that the French enjoy power prices half that suffered by their German … Continue reading Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
Reliable, Safe & Affordable: Small Modular Reactors Set to Deliver Real Energy Transition
With Europe’s renewable energy disaster laid bare for all to see, the focus is now on “real energy” - power that’s available 24 x 7, irrespective of the weather and where the Sun sits in the sky. For fairly obvious reasons, the Small Modular Reactor has captured the imagination of power-starved Europeans, with two key … Continue reading Reliable, Safe & Affordable: Small Modular Reactors Set to Deliver Real Energy Transition
Mystery Solved: Unreliable Wind & Solar Primary Reason For Rocketing Power Prices
That heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar are driving power prices into orbit has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt. No country that ‘invested’ in the unreliables (ie threw $millions in subsidies at wind and solar) has ever seen their retail power prices fall. No, the evidence on that score is all to … Continue reading Mystery Solved: Unreliable Wind & Solar Primary Reason For Rocketing Power Prices
SMR’s Big Future: Micro Reactors Offer Macro Solution to Wind & Solar Power Supply Chaos
For the future of small modular nuclear reactors, it pays to look to the present: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. The wind and solar cult, however, continue with the mantra that SMRs are a pipe dream, cooked up by conservative reactionaries, doggedly … Continue reading SMR’s Big Future: Micro Reactors Offer Macro Solution to Wind & Solar Power Supply Chaos
Nuclear Renaissance Heralds Immortal Age of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power
Nuclear power isn’t expensive: the nuclear-powered French pay around half what wind and solar-powered Danes and Germans do (see above). And the French don’t suffer the power rationing and blackouts their German neighbours do, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Indeed, it’s nuclear power from France and coal-fired power from Poland that … Continue reading Nuclear Renaissance Heralds Immortal Age of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power
Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
The failure to advance nuclear power in this country to replace coal-fired plants being driven out of business by massive subsidies to wind and solar beggars belief. Everyone with half a brain is alive to the fact that chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are responsible for Australia's power pricing and supply calamity Australian households … Continue reading Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
No More Lip Service: The Time for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear is Right Now
Australia’s Renewable Energy Target directs more than $7 billion a year in subsidies to wind and solar and is doing precisely what it was designed to do: namely, destroying Australia’s reliable and affordable power supplies. At the political level, the scramble is now on to keep coal-fired power plants up and running, wait for it, … Continue reading No More Lip Service: The Time for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear is Right Now
French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
Nuclear power generation is back with a vengeance for two reasons: the evident nonsense of relying upon sunshine and breezes for reliable power; and the political desire to reduce carbon oxide gas emissions. True it is that even Germany’s Greens have dropped their CO2 emission reduction ambitions, but here in Australia the suicidal desire to … Continue reading French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
Wind & Solar Debacle Means It’s Time To Bring Small Nuclear Reactors Onshore
SMRs are no pipe dream: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. What’s on foot is a move to bring those reactors onshore and use them to shore up power grids being wrecked by the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar. STT promotes … Continue reading Wind & Solar Debacle Means It’s Time To Bring Small Nuclear Reactors Onshore
