CO2 nuclear power – STOP THESE THINGS

World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…

August 4, 2018 by stopthesethings 6 Comments

The point, if there was one, of throwing hundreds of $billions in subsidies at wind and solar was to slash emissions of carbon dioxide gas. Taxpayers and power consumers who are on the receiving end of the bill for all this environmental piety would, after almost 20 years, be entitled to ask just how much […]

Small Modular Reactors: Pint-Sized Performers Add to Long-Term Nuclear Solution

June 9, 2018 by stopthesethings 10 Comments

STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable and reliable it’s the perfect foil for those obsessed about carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating power on demand. One of the feeble ‘arguments’ against it, is that nuclear power plants are of such vast scale that they take longer […]

‘Saving’ the Planet from CO2 Gas Means Cheap & Reliable Nuclear Power or Nothing

February 24, 2018 by stopthesethings 2 Comments

Anyone still banging on about CO2 emissions in the electricity generation sector, ought to be banging on about nothing other than nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. The fact that politicians in this Country talk about anything but […]

Nuclear Power: the ‘Grown Ups’ Option for Australia’s Unfolding Power Crisis

March 30, 2017 by stopthesethings 7 Comments

maturity, noun: the quality of behaving mentally and emotionally like an adult; a very advanced or developed form or state. If there is one attribute sorely missed in Australia’s energy debate it has to be ‘maturity’. Now that Australia’s suicidal renewable energy policies are starting to bite, destroying the viability of our cheapest and most […]

The Nuclear Option: New Research Makes Nuclear Power Even Safer

January 12, 2017 by stopthesethings 17 Comments

STT tends to leave the debate about global warming or ‘climate change’ to others. However, STT has always thought that if man-made CO2 emissions really were destroying the planet, then sensible governments would have moved to build nuclear power plants from the moment the Chicken Littles started wailing about the heavens collapsing. The French generate over […]

Climate Change Probably Won’t Kill You, But Having No Power Certainly Will

May 11, 2016 by stopthesethings 3 Comments

**** When we see the term ‘AGW’, we understand those that propound it to hold “global warming” as an irrefutable fact. It is, however, a theory with which there is only one problem: and that’s the evidence. Even the most hysterical have been forced to accept the fact that global surface temperatures have not budged […]
