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
Europe’s Self-inflicted Renewable Energy Disaster Drives Nuclear Power Renaissance
The race to secure reliable and affordable power is on and nuclear power has already crossed the finish line. 2021 was the year when the inherent unreliability of wind and solar revealed how everything depends upon reliable and affordable power supplies. The wind and solar ‘industries’ talk a big game; and in their wilder moments even claim … Continue reading Europe’s Self-inflicted Renewable Energy Disaster Drives Nuclear Power Renaissance
No Nonsense Solution: Nuclear Ultimate Answer to Powering an Energy Hungry World
Nothing focuses thinking on energy policy like not having heat, light and power on tap. With Europe now hostage to its aggressive Eastern neighbour - thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar and the need to back it up with oil and gas - policy wonks of all descriptions have started talking … Continue reading No Nonsense Solution: Nuclear Ultimate Answer to Powering an Energy Hungry World
Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-4gnNz0vc That the West has become weak and silly, is best exemplified by its concerted efforts to wreck hitherto reliable and affordable energy supplies. While policy wonks will argue forever about the precise casus belli for Putin’s attack on Ukraine, it is unarguable that Europe’s insatiable demand for Russian oil and gas has allowed … Continue reading Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
China and Russia are serious world powers, which is why they are absolutely serious about nuclear power. No country ever deprived itself of reliable and affordable energy and went on to become a world player. Which is why the CCP and Vlad Putin can’t believe their luck with hitherto Western powers doing just that. True … Continue reading No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
