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

If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards
Rent-seekers and the wind and solar cult have conniptions at the merest mention of nuclear power, principally because it works around-the-clock. No need for batteries. No need for back up. Wild claims about the purported benefits of wind and solar never survive the first contact with reality. So, acolytes have to defer and deflect on … Continue reading If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards
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
French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research
The French have infuriated the wind and sun cult by demanding more nuclear power generation, across Europe. The cult is equally annoyed by the (rather inconvenient) fact that the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours, which doesn't sit well with the myth about nuclear power being … Continue reading French Education: Nuclear Power Revival Starts With €100m For Training & Research
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
Energy Sanity Outbreak: Italy Joins Europe’s Burgeoning Nuclear Power Renaissance
The Finns are in, the French led the way (and they’re demanding more) and now the Italians have joined Europe’s nuclear power renaissance. Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni recently reversed her country’s legislated moratorium against the cleanest and most reliable form of power generation there is. Meloni’s move makes way for the reactivation of 3 … Continue reading Energy Sanity Outbreak: Italy Joins Europe’s Burgeoning Nuclear Power Renaissance
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
Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
When Finland powered up its latest nuclear power plant in April wholesale power prices dropped 75%, almost overnight. The Olkiluoto 3 plant (above) is fully operational, generating 1,600 MW of electricity on demand (irrespective of the weather), and delivering 15% of the country’s power needs. Nuclear now provides around half of the country’s total electricity … Continue reading Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
