Nuclear power is the obvious choice for naval submariners keen on speed, reliability and stealth. Which is why Australia has just signed up to join the big boys with a fleet of its very own nuclear-powered submarines. While there might be plenty to debate about the terms of that deal, one thing is crystal clear: … Continue reading Growing Up: Australia’s Nuclear Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future

Small Modular Reaction: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Paves Way For New Nuclear Age
Europe’s energy disaster proves, beyond doubt, that wind and solar are an abject failure, leaving the way clear for nuclear power and any other power generation source that can dish it up, on demand. With numerous operators seeking or obtaining licences to build Small Modular Reactors, and numerous countries signing up to have them, SMRs … Continue reading Small Modular Reaction: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Paves Way For New Nuclear Age
Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics
Voters get the governments are to serve, so it’s said, which means that sympathy for their current energy woes runs thin. Voters who walked into a booth thinking they would save the planet by backing candidates and parties who promised to go all in on the grand wind and solar ‘transition’, might be suffering a … Continue reading Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics
SMR’s Big Future: Micro Reactors Offer Macro Solution to Wind & Solar Power Supply Chaos
For the future of small modular nuclear reactors, it pays to look to the present: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. The wind and solar cult, however, continue with the mantra that SMRs are a pipe dream, cooked up by conservative reactionaries, doggedly … Continue reading SMR’s Big Future: Micro Reactors Offer Macro Solution to Wind & Solar Power Supply Chaos
Nuclear Renaissance Heralds Immortal Age of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power
Nuclear power isn’t expensive: the nuclear-powered French pay around half what wind and solar-powered Danes and Germans do (see above). And the French don’t suffer the power rationing and blackouts their German neighbours do, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Indeed, it’s nuclear power from France and coal-fired power from Poland that … Continue reading Nuclear Renaissance Heralds Immortal Age of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power
French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
Nuclear power generation is back with a vengeance for two reasons: the evident nonsense of relying upon sunshine and breezes for reliable power; and the political desire to reduce carbon oxide gas emissions. True it is that even Germany’s Greens have dropped their CO2 emission reduction ambitions, but here in Australia the suicidal desire to … Continue reading French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Australia’s politics is bereft of leadership and there’s no better example thereof than the failure to advance nuclear power in this country. Notwithstanding the unfolding power pricing and supply calamity - driven by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar - its new Labor Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, more Elmer Fudd than Bob Hawke, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Panic Stations: Daily Wind & Solar Shortfalls Threaten Australia’s Entire Electricity Grid
Subsidised and intermittent wind and solar infiltrate and destroy power grids like an aggressive cancer. But, unlike cancer, the cause of Australia’s power pricing and supply debacle is precisely known, and was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. The massive subsidies to wind and solar were deliberately designed to knock reliable and affordable … Continue reading Panic Stations: Daily Wind & Solar Shortfalls Threaten Australia’s Entire Electricity Grid
