If human-generated carbon dioxide gas is a problem, the only serious solution is nuclear power. It’s that simple. Nuclear power is only stand-alone power generation system that does not generate carbon dioxide gas during the process and delivers power 24 x 365, irrespective of the weather or where the Sun sits in the sky. The … Continue reading Worrying About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Nuclear Power the Only Serious Generation Option
Swedish Shutdown: Shift from Ever-Reliable Nuclear to Never-Reliable Wind Leaves Swedes Scrambling for Power
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
