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

Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity

You know it’s a cult when innocents are being wiped out by shells and missiles and they’re fretting that we’ll lose our focus on the weather, as a result. As Russian tanks began shelling family homes across Ukraine, missiles struck home and air raid sirens screamed over Kyiv, John Kerry worried that Vlad’s westward expansion … Continue reading Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity

Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe

Like a giant boa constrictor, oil and gas-rich Vlad Putin has a chokehold on wind and solar-obsessed Europe. ‘Green’ policies designed to wipe out reliable and affordable coal and nuclear power plants - on the pretext that they would be replaced by the chaotic output from wind turbines and solar panels - have long been … Continue reading Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe

Wake Up Australia: Ban On Nuclear Power Plants Must Go Right Now

Australia’s legislated ban on nuclear power is beyond embarrassing; it’s positively idiotic. But don’t expect the weak and petty Scott Morrison (Australia’s PM for the time being) or Angus Taylor (his Energy Minister for the time being) to mutter a peep about getting rid of Australia’s most hypocritical and ludicrous energy policy as the next … Continue reading Wake Up Australia: Ban On Nuclear Power Plants Must Go Right Now

Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis

Europe’s insatiable appetite for unreliable wind and solar has left Europeans hungry for any kind of power, provided it’s available on demand. The French have rebooted investment in their 56 existing nuclear plants and are planning a further 14 to add to their enviable fleet. The Brits and the Germans are stoking up their ‘ageing’ … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis

Atomic Attraction: Wind Power’s Abject Failure Forces Europe to Embrace Nuclear Power

To call Europe’s rapid embrace of nuclear power ‘passionate’ is not overstatement. Much to the horror of wind and solar acolytes, a growing number of EU members are ready to declare nuclear power is not only clean and green, but wholly sustainable. Wind and solar-obsessed Germans and Brits are watching power prices go into orbit … Continue reading Atomic Attraction: Wind Power’s Abject Failure Forces Europe to Embrace Nuclear Power

Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar

Anyone looking for a taste of what the ‘transition’ to wind and solar might look like, need look no further than Europe. The best (worst) examples, Germany and the UK are in the middle of self-inflicted energy debacles, with many of their neighbours not far behind. Mass wind droughts - that lasted months at the … Continue reading Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
