If you want people to toe the line, make them afraid. It’s worked a treat for the anti-economic progress crowd in their campaign against nuclear power. It’s the same insidious force that has millions of Australians constantly locked down, cowering under their quilts, thanks to the threat of a virus that’s on a par with … Continue reading Anti-Nuke Activists Afraid of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Another Summer of Discontent: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Scrambling for Reliable Power
The sweeping blackouts that struck California last summer are back with a vengeance; another heatwave, another scramble for reliable power. The power rationing debacle that is plaguing Californians once again, is precisely what you’d expect when woolly-headed thinking overtakes sound engineering. The state-wide blackout that struck in mid-August 2020, was put down by officials to … Continue reading Another Summer of Discontent: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Scrambling for Reliable Power
Universal Self Harm: Rejecting Nuclear Power Poses Real Extinction Threat
The only thing worse than talking about a nuclear-powered future, is not talking about one. Australians watching power prices go through the roof and suffering through power rationing during summer - thanks to the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar - are finally getting the message. Given the unrelenting attack on reliable coal-fired power, the … Continue reading Universal Self Harm: Rejecting Nuclear Power Poses Real Extinction Threat
Not In Anyone’s Backyard: Rural Americans Winning the Battle Against Industrial Wind Power
The only way to prevent industrial wind power destroying your community is to fight, and that’s exactly what Americans are doing across its heartland. Applying pressure to local governments and authorities, rural Americans are getting them onside and against the wind industry, with hundreds of projects rejected. Robert Bryce has been following this battle for … Continue reading Not In Anyone’s Backyard: Rural Americans Winning the Battle Against Industrial Wind Power
Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
The wind and sun may be free, but wind and solar power are anything but. Hidden ‘green’ taxes, costs and charges, not to mention massive subsidies redirected from both taxpayers and power consumers to wind and solar generators are just the beginning. The market distortions created by those subsidies have wrecked the ability of conventional … Continue reading Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
Waste in The West: Texans Have Already Squandered $66 Billion on Unreliable Wind & Solar
Texans suffering weather-caused power supply shortages might well query the $66 billion that's already been squandered on the unreliables, $22 billion of which has been directly pocketed as subsidies by the wind and solar industries, with plenty more coming their way. Robert Bryce takes a look at where power-starved Texan taxpayers' dollars are being directed. … Continue reading Waste in The West: Texans Have Already Squandered $66 Billion on Unreliable Wind & Solar
Why Everything You’ve Heard About Solar Is Wrong: What the Media Don’t Want You to Know
The mainstream press would have you believe that we’re already being exclusively powered by wind and solar, and that neither of them have any downside, at all. Michael Shellenberger knows otherwise. Michael, with his properly reasoned support for nuclear power, draws plenty of heat from the pro-unreliables hacks in the MSM for his equally reasoned … Continue reading Why Everything You’ve Heard About Solar Is Wrong: What the Media Don’t Want You to Know
Intermittent Wind & Solar Power No Match For Around-the-Clock Nuclear Power
Part-time power is worse than having no power at all: our industrial heartbeat and the timing of daily chores hasn’t been dictated by the weather for more than a century. Harnessing thermal power set us on the road to the modern, ordered and (largely) civil society we presently enjoy. For a refresher course Google up … Continue reading Intermittent Wind & Solar Power No Match For Around-the-Clock Nuclear Power
‘Investing’ in Wind & Solar Power: Always and Everywhere – It’s About the Endless Subsidies
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ will last for as long as the subsidies keep flowing, and not one second more. Every time the subsidy reins get tightened, the rent seekers howl, claiming that they need them to run for just that little bit longer. Notwithstanding repeatedly crowing about wind and solar already being cheaper … Continue reading ‘Investing’ in Wind & Solar Power: Always and Everywhere – It’s About the Endless Subsidies
Solar’s Toxic Legacy: When the Panels Wear Out, Who Cleans Up the ‘Green’ Energy Mess?
Because solar panels can’t be economically recycled, millions upon millions of them are headed for landfill. Around the globe, countless millions of panels have already reached their use by dates. Over the next decade millions of tonnes of them are headed for the dump. Each panel is a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, … Continue reading Solar’s Toxic Legacy: When the Panels Wear Out, Who Cleans Up the ‘Green’ Energy Mess?
