Always-on nuclear wins on safety, price and reliability in any contest with diffuse and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Running around-the-clock, whatever the weather, with no need for batteries and no need for back up, nuclear power is the perfect foil for those fretting about carbon dioxide gas emissions. Because it generates power reliably and … Continue reading Nuclear Wins Price & Reliability Contest Hands Down

Propaganda Overdrive: Wind & Solar Industries Desperate to Prevent Nuclear Powered Future
Crony capitalists, overfed on massive wind and solar subsidies, are pulling out all stops to cruel the chances of a nuclear-powered future. Nothing sharpens an entrepreneur’s mind like real competition. And, usually, the first move is to knock out the competition before it reaches the field. Which is where Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research … Continue reading Propaganda Overdrive: Wind & Solar Industries Desperate to Prevent Nuclear Powered Future
Faking It: Why ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Claims Never Stack Up
Like any ideological cult, wind and solar acolytes bury troublesome facts and replace them with oodles of helpful fiction. Start with the supposed cost of the electricity occasionally generated by wind turbines and solar panels. The usual trick is to invent some model said to capture the unique benefits of running on sunshine and breezes. … Continue reading Faking It: Why ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Claims Never Stack Up
No Contest: Never Reliable Wind & Solar Can’t Compete with Ever Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Renewables acolytes have been massaging the numbers for years, in an attempt to show that wind and solar power are the cheapest of all. The standard bag of tricks includes ignoring the capital cost of having every single (unreliable) megawatt of wind or solar constantly backed up by another (reliable) megawatt of coal, gas, nuclear … Continue reading No Contest: Never Reliable Wind & Solar Can’t Compete with Ever Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Massive & Endless Subsidies Destroy Claim That Wind & Solar Cheapest Of All
In the ‘pigs might fly category’ sits the claim that intermittent wind and solar are the cheapest power sources, amongst all contenders. Were there even a shred of truth to that story, then renewable energy rent seekers wouldn’t be hounding policymakers at every turn to ensure that the massive subsidies they currently enjoy be guaranteed … Continue reading Massive & Endless Subsidies Destroy Claim That Wind & Solar Cheapest Of All
