Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing. Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position … Continue reading Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster

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
America’s Declaration of Energy Independence Means More Nuclear Power
Nuclear power doesn’t depend on the weather, and it doesn’t depend upon the whims of despots and cartels. Uranium, the highly-concentrated energy source at its heart, is abundant and readily extracted. All it takes is the wit and the will to do so. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the … Continue reading America’s Declaration of Energy Independence Means More Nuclear Power
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
Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition
In the 1980s, the Swedes set out to ditch nuclear power and meet a 100% renewable energy target. Now, in the mother of all reversals, Sweden has decided to follow its neighbour - Finland - with its own move towards safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. The Finns are well ahead of the curve. When Finland … Continue reading Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition
Rising Australian Uranium Exports Proves Growing Demand For Nuclear Power
Markets don’t lie. The growth in demand for uranium is driven by the world’s growing demand for nuclear power. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the number of mines and states that have banned them, is the world’s third-largest uranium exporter. Happy to export it, but too dim to use it … Continue reading Rising Australian Uranium Exports Proves Growing Demand For Nuclear Power
Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future
Wind and solar generation spreads like cancer. Dilute and diffuse, intermittent and unreliable the wind and solar generators’ demand for land is insatiable. And because every single MW of wind or solar generation capacity has to be backed up by another MW of dispatchable power generation (coal, gas, diesel or hydro) to accommodate sunset and … Continue reading Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future
Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever
Apart from wrecking Australia’s reliable and affordable power supplies, there is no Plan A for energy. And there clearly isn’t a Plan B. The Minister in charge of the current fiasco is Chris Bowen. A man who fails to exhibit any sign of intellect, let alone any indication of insight or wisdom. His maniacal mission … Continue reading Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever
Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation
Renewable energy rent seekers and the wind and sun cult hate nuclear power because it works, 24 x 365, whatever the weather. It doesn’t need batteries and it doesn’t need backup. Wind and solar, on the other hand, will never amount to meaningful power sources - ever. No amount of finessing the facts can change … Continue reading Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation
The Case for Nukes: The Pathway To Freedom & Prosperity Is Reliable & Affordable Energy
No country ever got rich relying on wind and solar power, but plenty of rich countries are driving themselves into penury by doing so. At the heart of every prosperous nation is the ability to tap reliable and affordable energy sources. While the richest billion are intent on squandering their energy legacy on weather -dependent … Continue reading The Case for Nukes: The Pathway To Freedom & Prosperity Is Reliable & Affordable Energy
