Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Since Vladimir Putin's adventure in Ukraine, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity

‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Australia’s politics is bereft of leadership and there’s no better example thereof than the failure to advance nuclear power in this country. Notwithstanding the unfolding power pricing and supply calamity - driven by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar - its new Labor Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, more Elmer Fudd than Bob Hawke, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Fascist Fantasies: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Provide Perfect Path to Totalitarian Tyranny
Few realise that Hitler and his gang of monstrous thugs were the first serious wind power advocates. The Nazis destroyed tens of millions of lives and are synonymous with industrialised mass murder, but their role as champions of industrial wind power is less well-known. As Rupert Darwall put it: German obsession with renewable energy originates … Continue reading Fascist Fantasies: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Provide Perfect Path to Totalitarian Tyranny
Panic Stations: Daily Wind & Solar Shortfalls Threaten Australia’s Entire Electricity Grid
Subsidised and intermittent wind and solar infiltrate and destroy power grids like an aggressive cancer. But, unlike cancer, the cause of Australia’s power pricing and supply debacle is precisely known, and was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. The massive subsidies to wind and solar were deliberately designed to knock reliable and affordable … Continue reading Panic Stations: Daily Wind & Solar Shortfalls Threaten Australia’s Entire Electricity Grid
Energy Embrace: Nuclear Power’s Inherent Reliability Key To Permanent Energy Security
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has focused minds on energy policy like nothing before. Europe’s self-defeating reliance on Russian oil and gas has exposed the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ as a delusional farce. Adding chaotically intermittent wind and solar to a grid, while driving reliable and affordable coal-fired plants to the wall, inevitably requires oil … Continue reading Energy Embrace: Nuclear Power’s Inherent Reliability Key To Permanent Energy Security
Endless Energy: Nuclear Provides Prospect of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Forever
Putin’s Ukrainian adventure has Europeans talking about nuclear power as if their existence depends on it. Threaten to deprive people of access to reliable and affordable energy and the love affair with wind and solar is soon forgotten. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to explain the relationship between total collapses in wind and solar … Continue reading Endless Energy: Nuclear Provides Prospect of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Forever
No Time To Lose: Reliable, Affordable Emissions Free Nuclear Power’s Time Is Right Now
Anyone talking about reducing carbon dioxide emissions and not talking about nuclear power, can’t be taken seriously. Europe’s months-long wind drought in the last half of 2021 demonstrated the dangerous futility of attempting to rely on mother nature for your energy needs. Which is why the French, among others, are now talking about nuclear power as if it … Continue reading No Time To Lose: Reliable, Affordable Emissions Free Nuclear Power’s Time Is Right Now
Persistently Pathetic: Routine Total Collapses Mean Wind Power Remains A Total Joke
No matter how many wind turbines get added to the grid, when calm weather sets in, their combined output amounts to a doughnut. Europe has more on and offshore wind turbines per square kilometre than any other continent. And yet it continues to suffer month’s long wind droughts, such as the one that started in … Continue reading Persistently Pathetic: Routine Total Collapses Mean Wind Power Remains A Total Joke
What’s Behind the Great Hydrogen Gas Hoax (Even More Subsidies For Wind & Solar)
Renewable energy rent-seekers reckon they’ll have a marketable product if they can convert chaotically intermittent wind and solar into hydrogen gas. There is, of course, no commercial value in an energy source that cannot be delivered as and when consumers need it. The only value in weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar comes from the subsidies … Continue reading What’s Behind the Great Hydrogen Gas Hoax (Even More Subsidies For Wind & Solar)
Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
Death and taxes are certainties, so too the wind and solar industry’s critical dependence on massive and endless subsidies. Those pushing wind and solar keep telling us that the power they produce is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. Every so often, rent seekers and their political enablers are faced with the retort that, … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
