In a ‘don’t say we told you so moment’, wind and solar obsessed California has just suffered another run of weather induced mass blackouts. Like clockwork, wind power output collapsed just as the summer heat and demand for electricity rose - leaving a million or more Californians sweltering in the dark. Anyone wondering what an … Continue reading System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare

Massive Push For Coal & Nuclear Power Proves China’s Wind Power Investment All For Show
Inscrutable as ever, the Chinese pay plenty of lip service to unreliable wind and solar, but it’s coal and nuclear that are really powering the Middle Kingdom. China’s investment in new coal and nuclear power plants absolutely dwarfs spending on intermittent wind and solar. Indeed, as Dr John Constable details below, the pace of investment … Continue reading Massive Push For Coal & Nuclear Power Proves China’s Wind Power Investment All For Show
No Brainer: Britain’s Government Backs Nuclear Solution for Wind & Solar Chaos
It appears the penny has finally dropped. Having worked out that wind and solar will never work, the British government is now backing the development of advanced modular nuclear reactors. The idea that a modern economy can power itself on sunshine and breezes is nonsense. Not so with ever-reliable nuclear power. There are around 450 nuclear … Continue reading No Brainer: Britain’s Government Backs Nuclear Solution for Wind & Solar Chaos
No Contest: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Can Never Match Ever-Reliable Nuclear
Wind power might be ‘free’, but try purchasing it, at any price, when the wind stops blowing; likewise with solar power when the sun drops over the horizon. Comparing weather dependent wind generation with sources available, around-the-clock, irrespective of the weather, is a game played by intellectual pygmies. There is, of course, no comparison. Good … Continue reading No Contest: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Can Never Match Ever-Reliable Nuclear
Simply Staggering: What Weather Dependent Wind & Solar Really Costs
Assume, for the moment, the wind always blew and the sun always shone, then wind and solar power just might make sense. That’s why those talking about an ‘all wind and sun powered future’ sound like they’re coming from another planet. Renewables rent seekers keep telling us how cheap wind and solar are, compared to … Continue reading Simply Staggering: What Weather Dependent Wind & Solar Really Costs
Michael Shellenberger: Let’s Get Serious, Let’s Go Nuclear
Very few climate warriors bother to advocate for nuclear power, which is a fair indication of what’s driving them. If CO2 really was about to destroy the planet, Extinction Rebellion, Greta and her worshippers would be talking about switching to nuclear power like their lives depended on it. Instead, for reasons that escape the … Continue reading Michael Shellenberger: Let’s Get Serious, Let’s Go Nuclear
‘Green’ Cult Chief Finally ‘Sees The Light’: And It’s Powered by Nuclear Energy
Extinction Rebellion’s pasty-faced and ghoulish-looking members aren’t renowned for their common sense on energy matters. But - in a road to Damascus moment - one of its leading lights, the aptly named Zion Lights has, indeed, seen the light. And it’s one powered by nuclear energy. Instead of dressing up like an extra in … Continue reading ‘Green’ Cult Chief Finally ‘Sees The Light’: And It’s Powered by Nuclear Energy
Full-Steam Ahead: Nuclear Power’s Exponential Growth In Power Hungry China
No country serious about growth, industry and jobs is seriously relying on wind and solar power. China is building coal-fired power plants, hand over fist. And its efforts to build nuclear-powered plants are on the same trajectory. China Plans To Dominate The Global Nuclear Energy Push Oil Price Haley Zaremba 3 June 2020 China has … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: Nuclear Power’s Exponential Growth In Power Hungry China
Michael Shellenberger: Sorry, But I Cried Wolf on Climate Change
If climate change is a problem, then wind turbines and solar panels aren’t a solution: heavily subsidised and unreliable wind and solar are an economic and environmental disaster. When climate alarmists managed to hijack energy (and with it economic) policy it was a case of lunatics taking over the asylum. In every breath they exhort … Continue reading Michael Shellenberger: Sorry, But I Cried Wolf on Climate Change
Fact Check: Debunking Claims That Britain Is 100% Wind Powered (Try Gas, Nuclear, Coal & Woodchips)
It only takes a couple of windy days and the loons start heralding the end of coal-fired power. But, of course, when calm weather inevitably sets in, the same lunatics run silent until the next gale hits. A bit like the gambler who tells you all about his wins, but never about his losses. Following … Continue reading Fact Check: Debunking Claims That Britain Is 100% Wind Powered (Try Gas, Nuclear, Coal & Woodchips)
