The anti-carbon dioxide squad comes undone the moment they start ranting against nuclear power generation. The only stand-alone power generation system that does not generate CO2 during the process, that delivers power 24 x 365 - irrespective of the weather or time-of-day - with no need for batteries and no need for back up. The … Continue reading Energy No-Brainer: The Nuclear-Powered Path to Permanent Prosperity

Generation IV: New Reactor Design Makes Ever-Reliable Nuclear Safer Than Ever
Generating power reliably around-the-clock, nuclear power has always made sense - ask the French, for starters. When compared against the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar, and their need for massive and endless subsidies, nuclear power generation wins hands down. If anything, the disaster unfolding in places where increasing wind and solar capacity has wrecked … Continue reading Generation IV: New Reactor Design Makes Ever-Reliable Nuclear Safer Than Ever
China & India Reject West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession
While Europe, the UK, US and Australia are busily destroying their energy supplies, China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist - providing reliable and cheap power to industry, businesses and households is central to their economic development. There was nothing sustainable about subsidised wind and solar. The sudden and … Continue reading China & India Reject West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession
First Movers: Russia and China Dominate Race for Nuclear Power Generation
Nuclear power doesn’t depend on the weather, it doesn’t require batteries and it doesn’t require backup, and it doesn’t depend upon the whims of despots and cartels that control the rare earths and minerals essential for the construction of wind turbines and solar panels. Uranium, the highly-concentrated energy source at its heart, is abundant and … Continue reading First Movers: Russia and China Dominate Race for Nuclear Power Generation
Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
2021 was the year when the inherent unreliability of wind and solar revealed how everything depends upon reliable and affordable power supplies. The wind and solar ‘industries’ talk a big game; and in their wilder moments even claim to be capable of replacing conventional coal, gas and nuclear generators, altogether. Europe’s months-long wind drought in … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Starting Small: Nuclear Power’s Renaissance Begins with Small Modular Reactors
The world’s first small modular reactor (SMR) is under construction and, surprise, surprise, it’s energy-hungry China that leads the way. While China’s love affair with coal-fired power looks like a marriage that will last a lifetime, the CCP is also building nuclear plants, hand over first. And not just the 1,000MW plus industrial-scale reactors it needs … Continue reading Starting Small: Nuclear Power’s Renaissance Begins with Small Modular Reactors
Growth Engines: Coal and Nuclear Powering China’s Economic Rise & Global Ambitions
No country ever got rich without abundant supplies of affordable energy. It’s all very well for the well-fed, smug and pompous to lecture others about the virtues of wind and solar. But when you’re dragging hundreds of millions out of agrarian poverty, virtue signalling runs a very poor second. And, so it is, with China. … Continue reading Growth Engines: Coal and Nuclear Powering China’s Economic Rise & Global Ambitions
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
Getting Serious About Serious Power Generation: China Leads Global Nuclear Power Push
Any student of economics wondering how important reliable and affordable electricity is to economic growth and industrialisation, need only look at China. The CCP may not be the flavour of the month at the moment, but its role in China’s economic success can’t be dismissed so readily. In less than 25 years, China has dragged … Continue reading Getting Serious About Serious Power Generation: China Leads Global Nuclear Power Push
Massive Push For Coal & Nuclear Power Proves China’s Wind Power Investment All For Show
Inscrutable as ever, the Chinese pay plenty of lip service to unreliable wind and solar, but it’s coal and nuclear that are really powering the Middle Kingdom. China’s investment in new coal and nuclear power plants absolutely dwarfs spending on intermittent wind and solar. Indeed, as Dr John Constable details below, the pace of investment … Continue reading Massive Push For Coal & Nuclear Power Proves China’s Wind Power Investment All For Show
