Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Heralds Nuclear Power’s New Beginning

Like planting trees, the best time to build nuclear power plants was 20 years ago, the next best time is right now.

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.

Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter

Unable to Pay Their Rocketing Power Bills, Germans Told to ‘Huddle Up’ Next Winter
