Anyone banging on about carbon dioxide gas and climate change, and not promoting nuclear power, can’t be taken seriously. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not emit carbon dioxide gas during the generation process. And, unlike chaotically intermittent wind and solar, it's available 24 x 365. That the world’s third largest … Continue reading Game Changer: US Start-up’s Small Nuclear Plants to Make Big Difference to World’s Energy Future

Worried About Cutting CO2 Emissions? Then Nuclear is the Only Solution
As Greta the Fretter and her acolytes would have it, the obvious solution to Australia’s summertime bushfires is covering the country with wind turbines and solar panels. Whether or not this nonsense represents ‘peak stupid’, is a matter for another day. Although wits might retort that large tracts of South Australia - across the … Continue reading Worried About Cutting CO2 Emissions? Then Nuclear is the Only Solution
Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
Victorians can thank their dangerous and delusional Labor government for their power pricing and supply calamity. Last summer saw mass blackouts and load shedding, following sudden, routine and total collapses in wind and solar output (calm weather and sunset does it every time). Back then its Premier, Daniel Andrews and Energy Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio … Continue reading Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels

Australia’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Sending Power Prices Into Orbit
Add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and rocketing prices are guaranteed. The Danes know it, the Germans know it and South Australians became the butt of international jokes, because of it. The relationship couldn’t be clearer: see above the pertinent little graphic from Dr Michael Crawford, which says it … Continue reading Australia’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Sending Power Prices Into Orbit
Sunset Industry: Solar Power Obsession Threatens to Destroy Western Australia’s Power Grid
When power demand is driven by the rhythm of human activity and its supply by the angle of the sun in the sky, expect mixed results. Of course, when the sun drops over the horizon and disappears for 10-12 hours or so, those claiming to depend on solar power can expect none at all. Then … Continue reading Sunset Industry: Solar Power Obsession Threatens to Destroy Western Australia’s Power Grid
Blown Away: Counting the Colossal Cost of Cleaning Up ‘Clean’ Energy’s Monstrous Mess
Giant industrial wind turbines have an economic lifespan around 15 years, after which the chances are that they’ll be left to rust in some idiot’s back paddock. Decommissioning these things properly at a sizeable wind farm would run into the hundreds of millions. Then there's the toxic waste. Already, thousands of 45-70m blades are being … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting the Colossal Cost of Cleaning Up ‘Clean’ Energy’s Monstrous Mess
Blackout Refugees: Businesses Plan Summer Escape From Victoria’s Renewable Energy Chaos
Pin your power needs to the weather and expect results to vary. Last summer saw mass load shedding and blackouts across Victoria, South Australia and NSW, when spikes in demand combined with collapses in wind and solar output. Demand patterns are as predictable as the delivery in wind and solar are chaotic. That chaos is … Continue reading Blackout Refugees: Businesses Plan Summer Escape From Victoria’s Renewable Energy Chaos
Summer Blackouts Beckon: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Won’t Be Fixed with Batteries
Almost as soon as Joe Public worked out that wind and solar can never work, RE rent seekers started babbling about giant batteries saving the day. STT will keep smashing the line about giant batteries overcoming the chaotic delivery of wind and solar, while RE zealots keep pushing it. The pitch from RE zealots is … Continue reading Summer Blackouts Beckon: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Won’t Be Fixed with Batteries
Power Politics: Wind & Solar Obsession Renders Australia’s Labor Party Unelectable
Bill Shorten took his Labor party to the Federal election in May with a belief that voters uniformly shared his love of rocketing power prices and blackouts. Promising a Nationwide 50% Renewable Energy Target and a massive tax on carbon dioxide gas emissions, Shorten & Co were gobsmacked when the electorate rejected their vision … Continue reading Power Politics: Wind & Solar Obsession Renders Australia’s Labor Party Unelectable
