For more than 20 years, wind and solar were the safest bet in town. The rapid embrace of nuclear power around the globe means that no one in their right mind will lay a nickel on wind and solar. Critically dependent upon subsidies, sunshine and weather, wind and solar have no hope of competing with … Continue reading Nuclear Catastrophe: Carpetbaggers Can’t Attract Wind & Solar Investors

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
Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
That the nuclear-powered French pay prices around half that suffered by their wind and solar-obsessed German neighbours is the kind of barebones fact the wind and sun cult absolutely hate. The French set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they’ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over … Continue reading Nuclear’s Cheap: French Power Prices Half That Suffered In Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germany
Monumental Fail: Why Wind & Solar Have No Hope of Ever Delivering Meaningful Power
Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed, is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Power consumers really only get to understand the ‘value’ of wind and solar when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in: that is to say - “worthless”. Power that cannot be delivered on demand has no market … Continue reading Monumental Fail: Why Wind & Solar Have No Hope of Ever Delivering Meaningful Power
Worrying About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Nuclear Power the Only Serious Generation Option
If human-generated carbon dioxide gas is a problem, the only serious solution is nuclear power. It’s that simple. Nuclear power is only stand-alone power generation system that does not generate carbon dioxide gas during the process and delivers power 24 x 365, irrespective of the weather or where the Sun sits in the sky. The … Continue reading Worrying About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Nuclear Power the Only Serious Generation Option
Counting the Staggering Cost of Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans: Power Costs Set to Double
With Joe Biden and the Squad in the White House, American power consumers should strap themselves in for a very wild ride. Under his plans to spear or anchor 10,000 or more giant industrial wind turbines into the seafloor off America’s Atlantic coast, it’s not just the marine environment and fishermen who will suffer the … Continue reading Counting the Staggering Cost of Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans: Power Costs Set to Double
Dark Future: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Learning to Live Without Power When You Need It
If you thought the ‘transition’ to wind and solar meant having power on demand, think again. Like the fine print on an insurance contract, the ‘deal’ being offered by renewable energy rent seekers comes with a nasty catch. When the chips are down, you simply won’t be covered. While wind and solar acolytes are keen … Continue reading Dark Future: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Learning to Live Without Power When You Need It
No Contest: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Can Never Match Ever-Reliable Nuclear
Wind power might be ‘free’, but try purchasing it, at any price, when the wind stops blowing; likewise with solar power when the sun drops over the horizon. Comparing weather dependent wind generation with sources available, around-the-clock, irrespective of the weather, is a game played by intellectual pygmies. There is, of course, no comparison. Good … Continue reading No Contest: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Can Never Match Ever-Reliable Nuclear
Grow Up Now: America Tells Australia to Get With The Program & Go Nuclear
The USA, the world’s largest nuclear power generator, has 99 nuclear power reactors in 30 states, operated by 30 different power companies, and in 2016 they produced 805 TWh. Since 2001 these plants have achieved an average capacity factor of over 90%, generating up to 807 TWh per year and accounting for about 20% of total electricity … Continue reading Grow Up Now: America Tells Australia to Get With The Program & Go Nuclear
