SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating … Continue reading Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution

Get Serious: Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas, Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power
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. Perversely, Australia is the only G20 Country to a place to … Continue reading Get Serious: Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas, Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power
Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Wistful children playing in flowery fields beneath fleets of whirling wonders is how the wind industry sells itself. The reality ain’t so pretty. Embedded in every 300 tonne juggernaut is a bevy of minerals and a mountain of energy used to create the feelgood fiction that the kiddies are safely frolicking beneath a truly useful … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Wind Power: The Complete Joke That Just Isn’t Funny Anymore
If it were only intended as a joke, wind power would be hilarious. However, the power pricing and supply calamity that follows any attempt to rely on sunshine and breezes tend to sober things up. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output collapses are at the heart of Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle. The … Continue reading Wind Power: The Complete Joke That Just Isn’t Funny Anymore
Growing Up: Nuclear Powered Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
The growing military threat posed by China has forced a little maturity upon Australia’s political betters. This week, the PM announced plans to scrap the contract to purchase a dozen diesel-powered French submarines (aka the ‘dud subs’) that were set to cost Australian taxpayers around $100 billion and which wouldn’t be delivered much before 2040. … Continue reading Growing Up: Nuclear Powered Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
Real Energy Solution: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Match For Small Nuclear Reactors
200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. What’s on foot is a move to bring those reactors onshore and use them to shore up power grids being wrecked by the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar. STT promotes nuclear power because it … Continue reading Real Energy Solution: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Match For Small Nuclear Reactors
Intermittent Wind & Solar Power No Match For Around-the-Clock Nuclear Power
Part-time power is worse than having no power at all: our industrial heartbeat and the timing of daily chores hasn’t been dictated by the weather for more than a century. Harnessing thermal power set us on the road to the modern, ordered and (largely) civil society we presently enjoy. For a refresher course Google up … Continue reading Intermittent Wind & Solar Power No Match For Around-the-Clock Nuclear Power
From Little Things Big Things Grow: Australia’s Nuclear Powered Future Starts With SMRs
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 to … Continue reading From Little Things Big Things Grow: Australia’s Nuclear Powered Future Starts With SMRs
Rank Hypocrisy: Climate Warriors Not Promoting Nuclear Power Simply Can’t Be Serious
In a post Covid world, anyone railing about carbon dioxide gas and not promoting nuclear power sounds positively unhinged. If CO2 really was about to destroy the planet, Extinction Rebellion, Greta and her worshippers would be talking about switching to nuclear power like their lives depended on it. Instead, for reasons that escape the logical … Continue reading Rank Hypocrisy: Climate Warriors Not Promoting Nuclear Power Simply Can’t Be Serious
Jobs First: Australian Workers Unite to Slam Unreliable Wind & Solar and Push for Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Workers unions have worked out that the key to reversing soaring unemployment is reliable and affordable power. One of Australia’s most powerful, the CFMEU has slammed chaotic wind and solar as too costly and unreliable to power anything - except virtue signalling egos. Instead, itys Victorian Mining and Energy Division has laid down an altogether … Continue reading Jobs First: Australian Workers Unite to Slam Unreliable Wind & Solar and Push for Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
