Chaotically intermittent wind and solar is simply no match for ever-reliable nuclear power. Always on, always available, no need for batteries, no need for back up. Capable of running all by itself and generating power, whatever the weather, nuclear power works. It’s that simple. The other thing in its favour is that it is the … Continue reading Killer App: New Nuclear Power Policy Totally Slaughters Wind & Solar Investment
Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland
Australia’s prime agricultural land is being carpeted with endless seas of solar panels and thousands of these things are being speared everywhere the panels can’t go. Dilute and diffuse, wind and solar require a staggering amount of space, and way more than their occasional, weather (and/or sunshine) dependent power generation can ever hope to justify. … Continue reading Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland
Gravity Strikes Again: Ageing Wind Turbines Literally Falling To Pieces
Wind turbines were designed to capture subsidies, but they clearly weren’t designed to last. These things have suffered hundreds of ‘structural failures’ – where either 10-25 tonne blades are shredded or flung in all directions; or their 90-120m towers implode, unceremoniously delivering the 80-140 tonne nacelle to terra firma, with exhilarating effect. And, as these things get … Continue reading Gravity Strikes Again: Ageing Wind Turbines Literally Falling To Pieces
Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Now they’re talking in $trillions, the mere $billions in wind and solar subsidies pocketed so far sounds like chump change. When we’re talking about subsidies to wind and solar, we are including all the thoroughly unnecessary associated costs, like new pumped-hydro schemes; giant lithium-ion batteries; additional fast-start peaking plants (either diesel or gas); and tens … Continue reading Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Planned Energy Armageddon: Net Zero CO2 Targets Designed by Delusional Maniacs
Setting targets about reducing the trivial amount of carbon oxide gas generated by humans is one thing, but asserting that wind and solar are the only way of doing so is positively bonkers. Assume for the moment that there is some point and purpose to net zero targets (a whopping assumption, for sure). Then the … Continue reading Planned Energy Armageddon: Net Zero CO2 Targets Designed by Delusional Maniacs
Safe, Ever-Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power Perfect Solution to Any Energy Crisis
The perpetrators of the West’s self-inflicted energy crisis are readily identified by their zealous promotion of subsidised wind and solar. Hiding in plain view, these characters become even more conspicuous when they start ranting about the (purportedly staggering) costs and (supposedly deadly) safety risks of nuclear power generation. The argument run by this crowd is powered … Continue reading Safe, Ever-Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power Perfect Solution to Any Energy Crisis
Irish High Court Slams Wind Turbine Operator For Noise “Like Aeroplanes that Never Land”
Freedom from wind turbine noise nuisance isn’t a “concern”; it’s a hard-won legal “right” based on the lawful entitlement to sleep comfortably in your own home – a right (not a privilege) that’s been upheld against the mighty, rich and powerful for close to 200 hundred years. The grinding, thumping cacophony generated by giant industrial … Continue reading Irish High Court Slams Wind Turbine Operator For Noise “Like Aeroplanes that Never Land”
Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
Generating occasional power at the whims of mother nature means wind and solar have no hope in hell of ever competing with ever-reliable nuclear power. In power generation ‘competing’ means being always on, always available and affordable for all. Because wind generates power less than 30% of the time (on average) and solar generates power … Continue reading Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
Candle Sales Soar As Britain Braces For More (Peacetime) Blackouts
Q: What did wind and solar-obsessed Westerners use before candles? A: Reliable and affordable electricity. And, before they became fixated on their attempt to run on nothing but sunshine and breezes, Westerners had reliable and affordable electricity in abundance. That was then. This is now. A burst of calm weather and sunset these days combines … Continue reading Candle Sales Soar As Britain Braces For More (Peacetime) Blackouts
China’s & India’s Coal-Fired Power Push Ignores West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Embrace
China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist. Their rapid economic development hinges on access to reliable and cheap power to industry. Meanwhile, the West maintains its positively suicidal obsession with subsidised wind and solar. Whereas China profits handsomely - selling millions of solar panels made by Uighur slaves and … Continue reading China’s & India’s Coal-Fired Power Push Ignores West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Embrace
