Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits - aka ‘dunkelflaute’ - … Continue reading Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity

Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s fixation on subsidised wind and solar gave rise to the destruction of its once enviable nuclear power generation capacity. The so-called wind and solar transition aka the ‘Energiewende’ has been an unmitigated disaster, with perfectly avoidable and perfectly predictable power rationing and crushing power prices driving German manufacturing industries and businesses to the wall. … Continue reading Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Germans have worked out that relying on the weather for your power has one major problem: “The Weather”. They’ve even coined a term for gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’ - periods of days or weeks when their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels produce next to nothing or nothing at all. … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Renewables Rejected: Germans Embrace Nuclear Power Like Their Lives Depend On It
Apparently, Germans are not looking forward to a winter sitting freezing in the dark when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. One 'plan' is to encourage energy-starved Germans to bunch up in commonly heated exhibition halls to prevent them from freezing to death when temperatures plummet. The (hopeful) German power consumer is, quite rightly, unamused. … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: Germans Embrace Nuclear Power Like Their Lives Depend On It
Europe’s Self-inflicted Renewable Energy Disaster Drives Nuclear Power Renaissance
The race to secure reliable and affordable power is on and nuclear power has already crossed the finish line. 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 … Continue reading Europe’s Self-inflicted Renewable Energy Disaster Drives Nuclear Power Renaissance
