China Plans To Dominate The Global Nuclear Energy Push Oil Price Haley Zaremba 3 June 2020 China has … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: Nuclear Power’s Exponential Growth In Power Hungry China
Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
Want to pay a fortune for power delivered in chaotic fits and spurts? Why not try offshore wind power? The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical.

Woeful Wind: New Data Shows Wind Power Output Is Pathetic Across UK & Europe
Adding wind power generating capacity is one occasion when ‘more’, truly means ‘less’. No matter how much of other people’s money gets spent spearing wind turbines all over the countryside, the result is the same: whether it’s 10,000 or 100,000 MW of available wind power capacity, when calm weather sets in, the combined output adds … Continue reading Woeful Wind: New Data Shows Wind Power Output Is Pathetic Across UK & Europe
