Attempting to replace always-on nuclear with weather-dependent wind power was always going to end in tears. Sweden - renowned for cheerful pop groups like Abba, Vogue-ish furniture and meatballs - has been hijacked by maniacs who’ve resolved to wind down its enviable nuclear power generation capacity, claiming it can be readily replaced with the chaotic … Continue reading Swedish Shutdown: Shift from Ever-Reliable Nuclear to Never-Reliable Wind Leaves Swedes Scrambling for Power

Shorten’s Green/Labor Alliance: The Electricity ‘Bill’ Australia Simply Cannot Afford
Voters ought to think twice before installing a Green/Labor Alliance unless their objective is to destroy Australia’s prosperity, for good. The modern Labor Party, led by Bill ‘Shifty’ Shorten, is almost unrecognisable from its roots as a party born on the back of a sheep-shearer’s strike in Queensland in the 1890s. These days, it … Continue reading Shorten’s Green/Labor Alliance: The Electricity ‘Bill’ Australia Simply Cannot Afford
‘Clean’ Energy Kaput: Germany’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ An Inevitable & Total Failure
Germany is the world leader when it comes to wind and solar and worth following, if you’re keen to return to the Dark Ages. Germans suffer Europe’s highest power prices - right up there with wind ‘powered’ Denmark and just behind South Australia, Australia’s wind and solar capital - which tops the list. Its so-called … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Kaput: Germany’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ An Inevitable & Total Failure
Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Screaming Out for Nuclear Powered Solution
Few issues demonstrate how childish the level of political discourse is in Australia than nuclear power. Its mere mention drives the loony-left into apoplexy and moderates into hiding. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its limited three mines policy, is the world’s third-largest uranium exporter. So, it generally surprises other members … Continue reading Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Screaming Out for Nuclear Powered Solution
Nuclear Power: Australia’s Happy to Sell it to the World – But Allergic to Using It
If you’re reading this in Australia, you’re doing so thanks to coal. You might be doing so thanks to nuclear power, but for the fact that the idiots that govern us banned it, years ago. Talk about wind and solar replacing conventional generation is just that. Talk. The dividend from Australia’s obsession with wind and … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Australia’s Happy to Sell it to the World – But Allergic to Using It
New Age Nuclear Needed Now: Why Costly & Intermittent Renewables Can’t Save the Planet
Anyone still banging on about CO2 emissions in the electricity generation sector, ought to be banging on about nothing other than nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. The fact that politicians in this Country talk about anything … Continue reading New Age Nuclear Needed Now: Why Costly & Intermittent Renewables Can’t Save the Planet
Wind & Solar Reality Check: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Renewables Can’t Save the Planet
There’s only one problem with intermittent wind and solar, at scale they’ve never worked and never will. Sure, powering an isolated farm house or pumping water for livestock with a few solar panels makes practical and economic sense. But that’s not what’s being rammed down our throats, and massively subsidised at our expense, at the … Continue reading Wind & Solar Reality Check: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Renewables Can’t Save the Planet
No Contest: Intermittent Subsidised Wind & Solar Most Expensive Electricity of All
Sunset and calm weather mean that wind and solar don’t compete with coal, gas or nuclear power, but that doesn’t stop pointless cost comparisons. Electricity generated when you don’t need it, is worthless - and wind or solar power that you can't get, just when you need it most, can't be bought at any price. … Continue reading No Contest: Intermittent Subsidised Wind & Solar Most Expensive Electricity of All
Nuclear Power Works: That’s Why The Wind & Solar Industries Hate It So Much
Only the most delusional climate alarmist still believes that wind and solar power can help in their global crusade against carbon dioxide gas. As we have said repeatedly, nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source which is capable of delivering power on demand, without CO2 emissions being generated in the process. Perversely, notwithstanding … Continue reading Nuclear Power Works: That’s Why The Wind & Solar Industries Hate It So Much
Minnesota Madness: Big Freeze Exposes Wind & Solar’s Deadly Flaw – Hopeless Intermittency
Power consumers pinning their hopes on the weather, inevitably learn to expect mixed results. 200,000 Victorian businesses and households learnt the hard way, as a sudden wind power output collapse left them sweltering during a summer heatwave. At the other end of the temperature spectrum, the risk of being powerless is even more serious. The … Continue reading Minnesota Madness: Big Freeze Exposes Wind & Solar’s Deadly Flaw – Hopeless Intermittency
