The renewable energy debacle in Germany means that it won’t axe its nuclear plants and is likely to start building more of them, like their French neighbours. The French, of course, set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they’ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over 75% … Continue reading No Brainer: Safe & Affordable Nuclear Power Provides Perfect Pathway to Clean Energy Future

Fired-Up: Global Demand For Coal Defies Wind & Sun Cult’s Predictions of Doom
World energy markets keep defying the wind and solar cult’s prediction that coal’s days are over. The meme has it that ‘coal is dead’, but in reality it hasn’t suffered so much as a flesh wound. Indeed, thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal coal prices hit $US$400 … Continue reading Fired-Up: Global Demand For Coal Defies Wind & Sun Cult’s Predictions of Doom
Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Rocketing power prices is one inevitable consequence of the so-called ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition. Germans know it, so do Californians, South Australians and Danes. Brits are learning fast, too. Of course, the propaganda units that run cover for renewable energy rent seekers pretend otherwise. Francis Menton wades through their dross to reveal what Europe’s … Continue reading Power Prices: With Wind & Solar Obsession – The Only Way Is Up and Up and Up
Vlad’s Victory: Europe Losing Energy War Thanks to Wind & Solar Obsession
Many a defeat is the product of a grand delusion; Europe’s obsession with wind and solar is just another example. Beaten by Vlad Putin’s ability to restrict the gas it needs to run fast-start-up gas peaking plants (essential to cover rapid and unpredictable collapses in wind output and rapid and wholly predictable collapses in solar … Continue reading Vlad’s Victory: Europe Losing Energy War Thanks to Wind & Solar Obsession
Unreliable Wind & Solar Leave Power-Starved Europeans Vulnerable During Big Freeze
The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters – getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter. A cohort of Americans left powerless during the winter storm that struck in February 2021, has already had a taste of their wind and solar ‘powered’ future, and didn’t take kindly … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Leave Power-Starved Europeans Vulnerable During Big Freeze
Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Renewable energy rent seekers keep spreading the lie about wind and solar being the cheapest form of power there is. Trouble is, there isn’t a shred of evidence to support claims about wind and solar being cheap. There never was. The position your country occupies on the table above is directly related to increased reliance … Continue reading Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Renewables Regret: Power-Starved Europeans Rue Their Governments’ Wind & Solar Obsession
Eating cold baked beans in the dark might not be everyone’s idea of fun, but power-starved Europeans are getting used to that kind of indignity. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe’s highest power prices; since Putin’s Ukrainian adventure began, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per … Continue reading Renewables Regret: Power-Starved Europeans Rue Their Governments’ Wind & Solar Obsession
Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter
Electricity is one of those things that is only fully appreciated when a hopeful user is deprived of it. Across Europe, the cultlike fixation on wind and solar has provided precisely the environment in which households and businesses are coming to sense just how important having power as and when they need it, really is. … Continue reading Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter
Reliable, Safe & Affordable: Small Modular Reactors Set to Deliver Real Energy Transition
With Europe’s renewable energy disaster laid bare for all to see, the focus is now on “real energy” - power that’s available 24 x 7, irrespective of the weather and where the Sun sits in the sky. For fairly obvious reasons, the Small Modular Reactor has captured the imagination of power-starved Europeans, with two key … Continue reading Reliable, Safe & Affordable: Small Modular Reactors Set to Deliver Real Energy Transition
Britain’s Bitter Regret: Inevitable Result of UK’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy
Act in stupid haste and there’s plenty of time to repent in leisure; with the insane renewable energy rush, there comes a veritable lifetime of regret. Britain’s power prices have risen to astronomical levels, thanks to its obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to … Continue reading Britain’s Bitter Regret: Inevitable Result of UK’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy
