Once reliable and affordable power supplies have been destroyed, thanks to our fixation on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar; in consequence, the world is waking up hungry for energy. And when we say energy, we mean power, delivered safely, reliably and affordably. Nuclear power ticks all those boxes, but building latest generation 1,000+MW plants can … Continue reading Large-Scale Offshore Nuclear Power Plants Promise Faster Relief For Energy-Starved World

SMR Gold Rush: Smart Money Backing Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Europe’s energy crisis is all down to its delusional reliance upon intermittent wind and solar, which is why the smart money is backing nuclear power, at any scale, including Small Modular Reactors. The list of operators investing in SMR technology is growing at such a rate that could be described as an investor gold rush. … Continue reading SMR Gold Rush: Smart Money Backing Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Clear Winner: At Any Scale Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Is The Natural Energy Choice
There are 30 countries where you’ll find nearly 450 nuclear reactors currently operating – including the French, Americans, Canadians, Japanese and Chinese. Another 15 countries are currently building 60 reactors among them. Nuclear power output accounts for over 11% of global electricity production. But not a lick of it in Australia, thanks to an idiotic … Continue reading Clear Winner: At Any Scale Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Is The Natural Energy Choice
Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Wistful children playing in flowery fields beneath fleets of whirling wonders is how the wind industry sells itself. The reality ain’t so pretty. Embedded in every 300 tonne juggernaut is a bevy of minerals and a mountain of energy used to create the feelgood fiction that the kiddies are safely frolicking beneath a truly useful … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
The fact that consumers want power as and when they need it, at prices they can afford, has scuttled Germany’s grand wind and solar ‘transition’. This is one of the stories that the MSM has been running away from for years; since February 22, they’ve been running the meme that it’s all Vlad Putin’s fault. … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Far from threatening human existence, coal and gas have, once again, literally saved thousands of American lives. A bout of what is now known as ‘extreme weather’ demonstrates how extremely stupid it is to rely upon sunshine and breezes for power. During December’s Big Freeze, millions of America’s solar panels were carpeted in snow and … Continue reading Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
Seems like only yesterday that Germany’s grand wind and solar transition was the talk of the town. Dubbed the “Energiewende”, it was meant to spell an inevitable end to nuclear and coal-fired power, which would soon be replaced by nothing other than forests of wind turbines and seas of solar panels. Well, that was what … Continue reading Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
Reliable & Affordable Energy Is Life Itself: Why Wind & Solar Are Making Us All Worse Off
Deprive a well-fed Westerner of energy for more than a few hours and you’ll get their attention. The reliable and affordable power supplies that we’ve taken for granted were built up over a century. A raft of suicidal energy policies introduced in the last 20 years will have them destroyed before this decade is out. … Continue reading Reliable & Affordable Energy Is Life Itself: Why Wind & Solar Are Making Us All Worse Off
Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Wind power comes with a staggering price tag, taking these things out to sea sends those costs into orbit: intermittent offshore wind power is six times the cost of gas-fired power that's always available on demand. Placing giant industrial wind turbines miles offshore is costly enough, but the rising costs of attempting to maintain them … Continue reading Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
That the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours is the kind of barebones fact the wind and sun cult absolutely hate. The French set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they’ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over … Continue reading Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
