Safe, ever-reliable and always affordable nuclear power is a no-brainer. Especially for those worked up about carbon dioxide gas, nuclear being the only stand-alone generation source that does not generate CO2 in the process. Finland gets it, and has done for decades. Nuclear power is the largest source of energy in Finland, with a current … Continue reading Policy No Brainer: New Finnish Government Backs Grand Nuclear Power Expansion

Serious Energy: Britain Backs Ever-Reliable Nuclear Over Never-Reliable Wind Power
Politicians routinely crabwalk away from policy disasters. So it is in Britain where ever-reliable nuclear power has just been declared ‘green’ and essential to Britain’s energy future. Oversold and overhyped, in Europe, wind power now barely rates a mention amongst anyone serious about serious energy policy. Like that awkward, always-drunk uncle that everyone wants to … Continue reading Serious Energy: Britain Backs Ever-Reliable Nuclear Over Never-Reliable Wind Power
Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
It only takes eighth grade mathematics and a little logic to work out that there will never be any grand transition to an all wind and sun-powered future - it’s an impossible dream, to top them all. As Leen Weijers explains below, the fact that this is even a subject for discussion is based on … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
Get Serious: Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas, Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power
Anyone still banging on about CO2 emissions in the electricity generation sector, ought to be banging on about nothing other than nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. Perversely, Australia is the only G20 Country to a place to … Continue reading Get Serious: Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas, Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power
Growing Up: Australia’s Nuclear Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
Nuclear power is the obvious choice for naval submariners keen on speed, reliability and stealth. Which is why Australia has just signed up to join the big boys with a fleet of its very own nuclear-powered submarines. While there might be plenty to debate about the terms of that deal, one thing is crystal clear: … Continue reading Growing Up: Australia’s Nuclear Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
Empty Promise: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Fix Wind & Solar’s Natural Unreliability
The truly deluded reckon that by adding a few giant lithium-ion batteries we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Those that (often grudgingly) concede wind and solar’s weather-driven (ie perfectly natural) unreliability, claim that storing wind and solar power when the sun’s up and the wind is blowing, just right, and releasing … Continue reading Empty Promise: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Fix Wind & Solar’s Natural Unreliability
Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Our power grids were working just fine, until unreliable, intermittent and diffuse wind and solar turned up. Insanely costly in any event, now we’re told that our ‘inevitable transition’ will cost $trillions more, with the additional cost that comes with hooking up thousands more wind turbines and millions more solar panels, spread far and wide. … Continue reading Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition
Eventually, order emerges from chaos. Thanks to the chaos of Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar disaster, reality is starting to take hold, with the promise of order on the horizon. Investment in new wind turbines and solar panels has plummeted across Europe. Coal-fired power is back in vogue and nuclear plants are the next must-have. … Continue reading Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition
USA Leads Charge On Small Modular Reactors With NuScale Design Ready For Construction
As the energy source of the future, safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power hardly needs an introduction. Power-starved Germans have re-embraced it; the French have been powered by it for nearly 60 years. Altogether, there are 30 countries where you’ll find nearly 450 nuclear reactors currently operating – as well as the Germans and French … Continue reading USA Leads Charge On Small Modular Reactors With NuScale Design Ready For Construction
Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Saves Germany From Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Disaster
Vlad Putin can’t be blamed for blanketing Germany’s millions of solar panels in snow and ice, or freezing solid their 30,000 wind turbines. Nor can Vlad be convicted for this (and every previous) winter’s long periods of gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’, as Germans call it. No, Germany’s current energy catastrophe is the perfectly predictable … Continue reading Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Saves Germany From Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Disaster
