Thanks to their new nuclear power plants, Finns went from suffering among Europe’s highest power prices to enjoying its lowest. They now pay a mere fraction of what their wind and solar obsessed German neighbours are forced to pay for an ideological and delusional obsession. When Finland fired up its 1,600MW Olkiluoto 3 nuclear plant … Continue reading Price Drop: Finland’s Grand Nuclear Move Delivers Cheap Power Bonanza
Electrical Sewage: Power Grid Slugs Householders For Costs of Managing Daily Solar Surge
The inability to control wind and solar output is the very definition of chaos. Domestic solar panels reach their maximum output around noon. At midnight, not so much. Call it all or nothing. Dealing with the noonday surge has become the bane of grid managers and the grand disruptor of once orderly power markets. The … Continue reading Electrical Sewage: Power Grid Slugs Householders For Costs of Managing Daily Solar Surge
Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
The land area destroyed to house a couple of wind turbines (often in pristine forests) compares unfavourably with the area needed to house a single nuclear power plant. See above - the area gouged out of one of Queensland’s (previously untouched) tropical rainforests to allow space for just two of these things - huge strips … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
Tornado Terror: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines No Match For America’s Twisters
Wind power is described as the pinnacle of ‘distributed’ generation systems - watching 250m turbines being distributed far and wide by Cyclones, Typhoons and Hurricanes certainly gives that impression. Although, we’re not sure that wind acolytes really had disintegrating and self-immolating turbines in mind when they began mouthing off these things being spread from horizon … Continue reading Tornado Terror: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines No Match For America’s Twisters
New-Age Nuclear: Perfect Answer to Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Chaos
Nuclear is the order that will inevitably spring from the wind and solar chaos being played out across the West. Every country that’s dialled into the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering rocketing power prices and weather-related power rationing. Once weather-dependent wind and sunshine and weather-dependent solar exceed more than about 20% of a … Continue reading New-Age Nuclear: Perfect Answer to Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Chaos
Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Rent-seekers and the wind and sun cult who run with them are in a flat panic as they realise that their game is up. Mouthing off about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was always going to come unstuck. Reality has a tendency of biting back. Every calm night (ie … Continue reading Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
When your industry depends on mega-myths and hyped-up hubris, get ready for Armageddon-scale disappointment. GE’s rent-seeking wind power harm, Vernova pumped up its planned 18MW Haliade X offshore turbine with the kind of fanfare once reserved for NASA’s efforts to land men on the Moon. These things have a predilection for plummeting to earth with … Continue reading Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
All Washed Up: World’s Largest Floating Solar Plant Destroyed By Rough Weather
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are best explained by the fact that the players are always using someone else’s money. Namely yours, as taxpayers and power consumers. The point is best illustrated by the idiotic nature of the enterprise. Expecting entirely wind-dependent and/or sunshine and weather-dependent generation sources to deliver power around-the-clock sounds stupid enough. … Continue reading All Washed Up: World’s Largest Floating Solar Plant Destroyed By Rough Weather
Italy Joins Europe’s Sudden & Sensible Nuclear Power Push
There really is no choice between always-on, ever-reliable nuclear and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. That’s if you want power delivered, as and when you need it. The need for nuclear power is a reality that’s spreading across Europe, like they’ve hit on the cure for the incurable - with infantile ideology giving way to … Continue reading Italy Joins Europe’s Sudden & Sensible Nuclear Power Push
Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: he loves industrial wind power and couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction it causes. Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by cats, cars and skyscrapers. Ignoring … Continue reading Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
