Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed, is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Power consumers really only get to understand the ‘value’ of wind and solar when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in: that is to say - “worthless”. Power that cannot be delivered on demand has no market … Continue reading Monumental Fail: Why Wind & Solar Have No Hope of Ever Delivering Meaningful Power

Real Energy Solution: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Match For Small Nuclear Reactors
200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. What’s on foot is a move to bring those reactors onshore and use them to shore up power grids being wrecked by the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar. STT promotes nuclear power because it … Continue reading Real Energy Solution: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Match For Small Nuclear Reactors
Starting Small: Nuclear Power’s Renaissance Begins with Small Modular Reactors
The world’s first small modular reactor (SMR) is under construction and, surprise, surprise, it’s energy-hungry China that leads the way. While China’s love affair with coal-fired power looks like a marriage that will last a lifetime, the CCP is also building nuclear plants, hand over first. And not just the 1,000MW plus industrial-scale reactors it needs … Continue reading Starting Small: Nuclear Power’s Renaissance Begins with Small Modular Reactors
Worrying About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Nuclear Power the Only Serious Generation Option
If human-generated carbon dioxide gas is a problem, the only serious solution is nuclear power. It’s that simple. Nuclear power is only stand-alone power generation system that does not generate carbon dioxide gas during the process and delivers power 24 x 365, irrespective of the weather or where the Sun sits in the sky. The … Continue reading Worrying About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Nuclear Power the Only Serious Generation Option
Anti-Nuke Activists Afraid of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
If you want people to toe the line, make them afraid. It’s worked a treat for the anti-economic progress crowd in their campaign against nuclear power. It’s the same insidious force that has millions of Australians constantly locked down, cowering under their quilts, thanks to the threat of a virus that’s on a par with … Continue reading Anti-Nuke Activists Afraid of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Universal Self Harm: Rejecting Nuclear Power Poses Real Extinction Threat
The only thing worse than talking about a nuclear-powered future, is not talking about one. Australians watching power prices go through the roof and suffering through power rationing during summer - thanks to the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar - are finally getting the message. Given the unrelenting attack on reliable coal-fired power, the … Continue reading Universal Self Harm: Rejecting Nuclear Power Poses Real Extinction Threat
Intermittent Wind & Solar Power No Match For Around-the-Clock Nuclear Power
Part-time power is worse than having no power at all: our industrial heartbeat and the timing of daily chores hasn’t been dictated by the weather for more than a century. Harnessing thermal power set us on the road to the modern, ordered and (largely) civil society we presently enjoy. For a refresher course Google up … Continue reading Intermittent Wind & Solar Power No Match For Around-the-Clock Nuclear Power
Game Changer: Bill Gates Backs Safe & Reliable Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants
When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, and backs nuclear instead, it’s probably time to listen. Bill Gates made a fortune applying common sense to the untapped market of home computing. The meme has it that IBM’s CEO believed there was only a market for five computers in the entire world. Gates … Continue reading Game Changer: Bill Gates Backs Safe & Reliable Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants
Nuclear Waste: Nothing Like the Problem Imagined by Anti-Nuke Squad
Nuclear power is the only stand-alone generation system that does not emit carbon dioxide gas during the process. And it works - 24 x 7, whatever the weather. Which is one reason why wind and solar rent seekers hate it. Beat ups about the risks from radiation and nuclear-nonevents - such as the damage suffered … Continue reading Nuclear Waste: Nothing Like the Problem Imagined by Anti-Nuke Squad
Nuclear Renaissance: Looming Net-Zero Targets Driving Uranium Miners’ Share Price Surge
Share prices in uranium miners are on the rise, much to the horror of the wind and solar ‘industries’. Despite efforts of the wind and solar cult to unwind nuclear power in Germany, and elsewhere, the recent share market surge suggests there’s a resurgence of interest in uranium miners - share prices in one Australian … Continue reading Nuclear Renaissance: Looming Net-Zero Targets Driving Uranium Miners’ Share Price Surge
