Once the belles of the ball, wind and solar are being treated like cheap tarts: now it's nuclear and gas that are attracting all the attention. And it’s all thanks to the massive wind drought - aka the Big Calm - that struck Western Europe in September, and lasted for weeks, sending gas and power … Continue reading Party’s Over: Unreliable Wind & Solar Ditched In Favour of Ever-Reliable Nuclear & Gas

Post-Renewables Reality: Nuclear Power Generation Easy Solution For Energy Starved World
Europe’s great wind drought has focused attention on the unassailable fact that wind power is an utterly meaningless power source. The demand for electricity is, always and everywhere, a ‘here and now’ kind of thing. Households and businesses couldn’t care less if there’s a roaring gale and plenty of wind power at 2 in the … Continue reading Post-Renewables Reality: Nuclear Power Generation Easy Solution For Energy Starved World
Goodbye Glasgow – Hello Energy Poverty: The Staggering True Cost of Wind & Solar
If the Climate Industrial Complex gets its way, kiss goodbye to reliable and affordable energy. The apparent answer all our woes is more of the same: endless subsidies to hopelessly chaotic wind and solar, with even greater subsidies to pie-in-the-sky ‘green’ hydrogen and insanely expensive giant lithium batteries. If you’re not already suffering the consequences … Continue reading Goodbye Glasgow – Hello Energy Poverty: The Staggering True Cost of Wind & Solar
COP That Wind & Solar: Nuclear Power Drives French Renewables Resistance
The French already get more than 70% of their power from nuclear plants. Now, thanks to a massive month-long wind power output collapse, that proportion is destined to increase. Following Europe’s ‘disastrous’ wind drought - that saw wind power output plummet throughout most of September and into October, and early November - the need for … Continue reading COP That Wind & Solar: Nuclear Power Drives French Renewables Resistance
Wind Change: Net-Zero Emissions Target Guarantees Nuclear Powered Future
Wind and solar zealots may have scored own goal with their push for net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets. The reason being is that nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation system capable of delivering electricity 24 x 365 - irrespective of the weather, without generating carbon dioxide gas, in the process. The Big … Continue reading Wind Change: Net-Zero Emissions Target Guarantees Nuclear Powered Future
Europe’s Epic Renewable Energy Fail Makes Transition to Nuclear Power Truly Inevitable
The fastest way to get people thinking about electricity, is to deprive them of it. Europe’s power pricing and supply calamity has sharpened thinking and provided a golden opportunity for engineers and free-market economists to wrest back control from ideologues and renewable energy rent-seekers. Until the Big Calm hit Western Europe last month - causing … Continue reading Europe’s Epic Renewable Energy Fail Makes Transition to Nuclear Power Truly Inevitable
Backing Net-Zero Emissions & Not Backing Nuclear Power Generation: You Can’t Be Serious
The anti-capitalist, anti-progress, anti-human climate zealot reveals himself by backing net-zero emissions while rejecting nuclear power generation. The crony capitalist pursuing a net-zero target is, of course, easy to spot; with him, it’s a case of follow the money. Whip up the fear and imminent climate catastrophe and then point to the only ‘solution’ on … Continue reading Backing Net-Zero Emissions & Not Backing Nuclear Power Generation: You Can’t Be Serious
No-Brainer: Emissions Free Nuclear Power Only Antidote To Net-Zero Madness
Attempting to satisfy a net-zero carbon dioxide emissions target using unreliable wind and solar is a guarantee of energy poverty. Every country that’s attempted to rely upon sunshine and breezes as meaningful power generation sources, has suffered rocketing power prices and now finds itself suffering from scarcity of supply. The mandated renewable energy targets and … Continue reading No-Brainer: Emissions Free Nuclear Power Only Antidote To Net-Zero Madness
Appetite For Destruction: Western Governments Ready to Sign Net-Zero Suicide Pact
China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist. Neither of them has any interest in signing up to the latest suicidal energy policies being promoted by a bunch of cynical, rent-seeking elites; pitched as the last chance to save the planet from imminent incineration. High on emotive rhetoric, and low … Continue reading Appetite For Destruction: Western Governments Ready to Sign Net-Zero Suicide Pact
Nuclear’s Time is Now: Australian Voters Demand Nuclear Powered Future
Australia’s politics is bereft of leadership and there’s no better example thereof than the failure to advance nuclear power in this country. A month back, Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison did a deal with the US and the UK which allows Australia to catch up and join the technological first world - via American or British … Continue reading Nuclear’s Time is Now: Australian Voters Demand Nuclear Powered Future
