Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not generate carbon dioxide gas in the process. So why is it that those fretting about human-generated carbon dioxide gas aren’t screaming its merits from the rooftops? There are plenty among them who fit the category of ‘human hater’ - the kind who see … Continue reading No-Brainer: Nuclear Power Only Solution For Those Fretting About Carbon Dioxide Gas

Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Having gouged $billions from power consumers and taxpayers to subsidise hopelessly unreliable wind and solar, the Federal government wants us to pay $millions more to undo the damage done to our once reliable power supply by its Renewable Energy Target. The point and purpose of subsidies and mandated targets favouring wind and solar was … Continue reading Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Last Man Standing: China Defies Biden’s Climate Crusade Against Coal-Fired Power
The CCP won’t let America’s climate industrial complex interfere with its economic ambitions, key to which is its burgeoning supply of reliable and affordable coal-fired power. Whereas Australia’s suicidal renewable energy obsession has destroyed this country’s competitive advantage, the only interest China has in wind turbines and solar panels is making them and flogging them … Continue reading Last Man Standing: China Defies Biden’s Climate Crusade Against Coal-Fired Power
Punishing Price of ‘Virtue’ Signalling: Canberra Power Price Surge Follows 100% RE Push
When George Orwell described ‘doublethink’ and ‘doublespeak’ he surely had the renewable energy zealot in mind. In the Nation’s capital, Canberra the swamp is lined with renewable energy rent seekers - always on the prowl for more and more extensive subsidies, soft loans and favourable treatment from the Federal government - and populated by … Continue reading Punishing Price of ‘Virtue’ Signalling: Canberra Power Price Surge Follows 100% RE Push
Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
The apparent object of renewable energy targets is to make power so expensive and unreliable that eventually no one will bother to use it. At least that’s what occurred in Australia, thanks to its Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, which will redirect more than $60 billion to chaotically intermittent wind and solar over the life … Continue reading Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
Climate Warriors Furious Over India & China’s Insatiable Thirst for Coal-Fired Power
For years now, we’ve been told that “coal is dead” and that India and China will plump for wind and solar, instead of coal-fired power. Well, that’s the line being run by renewable energy rent seekers and wind and solar zealots around the globe. It is, of course, complete bunkum. With hundreds of millions still … Continue reading Climate Warriors Furious Over India & China’s Insatiable Thirst for Coal-Fired Power
Suicide Pact: Subsidised Wind & Solar Designed to Wreck First World Economies
One of China’s principal strengths is its ability to harness cheap and reliable nuclear and coal-fired power. Contrast that with Australia’s energy policies deliberately hostile to coal and nuclear power, and it’s hard not to conclude that our political betters are in cahoots with the CCP. The Roman Empire didn’t collapse because the barbarians to … Continue reading Suicide Pact: Subsidised Wind & Solar Designed to Wreck First World Economies
Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Hoping to be powered by sunshine and breezes is like musical chairs: the game designed to ensure that someone always misses out. Increasing reliance on the ‘unreliables’ means, however, that hundreds of businesses and hundreds of thousands of households get to miss out. Think wind and solar ‘powered’ Texas during its Big Freeze. Or think … Continue reading Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dik_wnOE4dk Australia is not the only country in the grip of the grand delusion that sunshine and breezes will soon completely replace nuclear, gas and coal-fired power. With another large capacity coal-fired power plant signalling its exit from the market place, the renewable energy ideologues are rejoicing. The engineers that built and ran those plants … Continue reading Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
Great Socialist Reset: ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means No Future for YOU
Wind and solar isn’t about providing power to the people, it’s about depriving people of reliable and affordable power, and lining the pockets of crony capitalists with massive and endless subsidies. Australia is no exception. The subsidies to wind and solar here will top $60 billion by the end of this decade. And, if rent … Continue reading Great Socialist Reset: ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means No Future for YOU
