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
Large-Scale Offshore Nuclear Power Plants Promise Faster Relief For Energy-Starved World
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
