The claim that renewables are cheaper than coal, gas and nuclear is simply nonsense. There’s a reason why wind and solar obsessed Germany, Denmark and South Australia fight it out for the honour of paying the world’s highest power prices. Where conventional generators can be counted on to deliver 24 x 7, wind and solar … Continue reading Pricing Vanity: Counting the Crushing Costs of Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar

Growing-Up: Australians Get Serious About Serious Energy, Demanding Nuclear Power, Now
All of a sudden, Australians are talking about a nuclear powered future, like there’s no tomorrow. Having recognised that climate alarmists will never relent in their crusade against carbon dioxide gas - being a proxy for eradicating cheap, reliable and affordable coal-fired power - anyone interested in a future where hot showers and cold beer … Continue reading Growing-Up: Australians Get Serious About Serious Energy, Demanding Nuclear Power, Now
Time For Nuclear Option: Australian Election Blows the Lid Off the Nuclear Power Debate
Nuclear power isn’t an option in Australia, but it damn well ought to be. Banned by Luddites in 1998, Australia has never had a nuclear power generation system, despite being the world’s third largest uranium exporter, with more than a third of the world's proven reserves. STT is devoted to pushing the case for nuclear … Continue reading Time For Nuclear Option: Australian Election Blows the Lid Off the Nuclear Power Debate
Atomic Ascendancy: Australians Now See Nuclear Power as the Natural Choice
All of a sudden, any Australian with half a brain is talking about nuclear power generation. Not so long ago, only the bravest would utter the ‘N’ word out loud. Howled down by the anti-nuke brigade, in the beginning, and later berated by zealots pushing heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, those … Continue reading Atomic Ascendancy: Australians Now See Nuclear Power as the Natural Choice
Nuclear Necessity: Solution to Australia’s Energy Debacle Means Nurturing Nuclear Now
Until recently it was a brave MP who dared to drop the ‘N’ word in public, now they’re shouting about nuclear power from the rooftops. STT thinks a couple of things might be responsible for the rapid shift in attitudes. As STT followers are no doubt aware, Australia is the only G20 nation to not … Continue reading Nuclear Necessity: Solution to Australia’s Energy Debacle Means Nurturing Nuclear Now
Rational Reaction: Australian Unions Back Nuclear Powered Future
That Australia, an energy superpower, could back never-reliable wind and solar over ever-reliable nuclear power, astonishes the sane and rational. Especially as the Lucky Country’s known uranium resources are the world’s largest – almost one-third of the world total. Notwithstanding that glorious abundance, Australia banned nuclear power generation a generation ago. There are no nuclear … Continue reading Rational Reaction: Australian Unions Back Nuclear Powered Future
Nuclear No-Brainer: Why Australia’s Ban on Nuclear Power Generation Defies Common Sense & Logic
Every day we’re bombarded with warnings about CO2 incinerating the planet, wiping out entire species and otherwise spoiling our day. For those subscribing to the ‘end is nigh’ scenario, all that seems fair enough. But what doesn’t stand much scrutiny is the fact that the planet’s doomsayers run silent on the need for nuclear … Continue reading Nuclear No-Brainer: Why Australia’s Ban on Nuclear Power Generation Defies Common Sense & Logic
Renewable Energy Rejection: Australia’s Election Result Demonstrates Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power
The “shock” Federal election result represents a new dawn for reliable and affordable power generation in Australia. The 2019 election was billed as a referendum on Climate Change, with Labor’s Bill Shorten pitching up a 50% Renewable Energy Target and a whopping carbon dioxide gas tax, to boot. Bill also promised that he would eradicate … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rejection: Australia’s Election Result Demonstrates Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power
For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
There’s no rational explanation as to why Australia exports uranium to the world, but bans its use for power generation on home soil. Cognitive dissonance, might do it. Although STT thinks it’s because Australia’s run by infants and intellectual pygmies. And then there are the just plain gutless, who are too timid to even … Continue reading For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
‘RE-ligion for Rich People’: Green Guru – Michael Shellenberger Slams Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Environmentalists ready to slam never reliable wind and solar and back ever reliable nuclear are rare birds, indeed. Michael Shellenberger is such an animal. Lauded by environmentalists in the US, Shellenberger is not so much crusading for the environment, but waging a war against the hypocritical and pompous who drive global warming alarmism; a … Continue reading ‘RE-ligion for Rich People’: Green Guru – Michael Shellenberger Slams Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
