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

Psycho Simon: Renewable Energy Zealots Incite Terrorism Against Wind & Solar Critics
As a rule, RE zealots are not only stupid and selfish, they’re invariably nasty and prone to fits of outrage and violence. Leading the gang in Australia is silver-spooner, Simon Holmes a Court. Simon has a Masters in Smug, the result of the enormous pile accumulated by his (late) billionaire corporate-raider daddy, Robert. And claims … Continue reading Psycho Simon: Renewable Energy Zealots Incite Terrorism Against Wind & Solar Critics
Reality Bites: Cheap Coal-Fired Power Killing Dreams of Australian Wind & Solar ‘Nirvana’
Wind and solar don’t compete with coal-fired power; never have, never will. You see, ‘competition’ involves starting from the same position, running the same race, over the same distance, without respite, laydown or let up. Calm weather and sunset don’t trouble coal-fired power plants (or gas or nuclear, for that matter). But the same can’t … Continue reading Reality Bites: Cheap Coal-Fired Power Killing Dreams of Australian Wind & Solar ‘Nirvana’
Brits Belted: Renewables Deliver Wholesale Energy Poverty – Poorest Families Left Power-less
RE zealots reckon that an uptick in the number of frozen grannies is a small price to pay for our ‘inevitable’ wind and solar powered future. As Brits brace for another frigid winter, spare a thought for the hundreds of thousands who - thanks to rocketing power prices driven by Britain’s renewables obsession - will … Continue reading Brits Belted: Renewables Deliver Wholesale Energy Poverty – Poorest Families Left Power-less
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
Battery Bollocks: Why Giant Batteries Won’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Chaotic Intermittency
Almost as soon as Joe Public worked out that wind and solar can never work, RE rent seekers started babbling about giant batteries saving the day. STT will keep smashing the line about giant batteries overcoming the chaotic delivery of wind and solar, while RE zealots keep pushing it. The pitch from RE zealots is … Continue reading Battery Bollocks: Why Giant Batteries Won’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Chaotic Intermittency
Lost in Transmission: Colossal Cost of Connecting Remote Wind & Solar
RE rent seekers aren’t satisfied with $trillions in wind and solar subsidies, now they want $trillions for power grids to the middle of nowhere. The Australian wind industry has a habit of spearing its turbines way beyond the back of beyond. Increasingly remote wind farm locations require serious upgrades to transmission infrastructure, adding hundreds of $millions … Continue reading Lost in Transmission: Colossal Cost of Connecting Remote Wind & Solar
Trumping Turbines: Five Good Reasons to Hate Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
You don’t have to be a genius to work out that wind power is the greatest environmental and economic fraud of all time. President of the United States of America, Donald J Trump has been railing about it for years. And he keeps doing so. Much to the disgust and horror of his many detractors. … Continue reading Trumping Turbines: Five Good Reasons to Hate Heavily Subsidised & Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
German Obsession with Wind & Solar Means Power Prices Set To Keep Skyrocketing
Germany’s renewable energy transition is an unmitigated disaster: 5 million households are struggling to pay their power bills and 340,000 have been cut from the grid, because they can’t. The push towards a mythical all wind and sun powered future continues apace. Notwithstanding it’s a technical and physical impossibility. Germans happily drain nuclear power generated … Continue reading German Obsession with Wind & Solar Means Power Prices Set To Keep Skyrocketing
Worthless Wind Power: Why A Dollar Spent on Wind Power Capacity Is A Dollar Wasted
In the absence of subsidies there would not be a wind industry, period. As Warren Buffett said: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Indeed! Every wind turbine on earth could be sucked into … Continue reading Worthless Wind Power: Why A Dollar Spent on Wind Power Capacity Is A Dollar Wasted
