The only certainties attached to the wind and solar transition are being constantly whacked with crushing power bills and sitting freezing or boiling in the dark, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Whereas Europeans are crab-walking away from their mad rush towards wind and solar - with many tapping into next-generation nuclear power … Continue reading Facts Trump Feelings: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Tale Rapidly Unravels

Nuclear Attraction: Women Become Nuclear Power’s Most Effective Advocates
Clued-up women are fast becoming nuclear power’s most effective advocates. Whether it’s mothers in Germany, MIT grads or beauty pageant contenders, the number of females joining the chorus of the press and their political betters to back safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power is thoroughly impressive. In the following post we’ll first take a look … Continue reading Nuclear Attraction: Women Become Nuclear Power’s Most Effective Advocates
First Movers: Russia and China Dominate Race for Nuclear Power Generation
Nuclear power doesn’t depend on the weather, it doesn’t require batteries and it doesn’t require backup, and it doesn’t depend upon the whims of despots and cartels that control the rare earths and minerals essential for the construction of wind turbines and solar panels. Uranium, the highly-concentrated energy source at its heart, is abundant and … Continue reading First Movers: Russia and China Dominate Race for Nuclear Power Generation
‘Green’ Energy Nirvana Collides With Brutal Reality: Wind & Solar Are Pointless
The world runs on luck and credit. The wind and solar ‘industries’ are running out of both. What might have sounded a little hopeful 20 years ago, sounds utterly ridiculous today. Talk about an all-wind and sun-powered future these days smacks of a mixture of delusion and desperation. Wind turbine manufacturers are bleeding cash, with … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Nirvana Collides With Brutal Reality: Wind & Solar Are Pointless
Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Whatever ‘social licence’ the wind industry had evaporated years ago; wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies will do it every time. Sure enough, the usual ‘not in my back yard’ protester often takes the lead in opposition to another aggregation of these monstrosities. However, the arguments these days are broader and more to the … Continue reading Blaze of Fury: Local Outrage Forces Government Backflip on Offshore Wind Turbine Plans
Clean, Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power the Environment’s Best Friend
Wind and solar have lost their ‘social licence’; the masses no longer believe the ‘clean and green’ propaganda. Wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies are too difficult to hide or spin away. Once people get a grip on the great wind and solar scam, their conversion is irreversible. The original trope had it that … Continue reading Clean, Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power the Environment’s Best Friend
Simply Irresistible: Why Plugging Into Small Modular Reactors Makes Perfect Sense
Listen to the wind and sun cult and you’d think that Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are a work of far-fetched Science Fiction. The reality is that some 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. None of which sits with the narrative pitched by … Continue reading Simply Irresistible: Why Plugging Into Small Modular Reactors Makes Perfect Sense
Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power
The occasional generators - wind and solar deliver trivial amounts of electricity and take the best part of a continent to do it. Where land use matters, and it almost always matters, their lack of energy density is yet another reason why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources; not now, … Continue reading Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power
Nordic Nuclear Revival: Sweden to Build 10 Large Capacity Plants
Nordics are renowned for their practical, common sense, which is why the likes of Sweden and Finland are backing nuclear power like their nations depend on it. When Finland fired up its 1,600MW Olkiluoto 3 nuclear plant in April this year, power users were bound to notice that average spot electricity prices dropped from €245.98 per … Continue reading Nordic Nuclear Revival: Sweden to Build 10 Large Capacity Plants
Resistance Is Futile: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Can Only Be Met With Nuclear Power
The fact that those pushing net-zero emissions targets aren’t talking seriously about nuclear power, says it all. If energy policy is left in the hands of the wind and sun cult - and other weather-obsessed lunatics - it won't be long before we’re all left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. Those with financial … Continue reading Resistance Is Futile: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Can Only Be Met With Nuclear Power
