Without doubt, coal-fired power remains the cheapest and most reliable form of power generation, bar none. Which is why hundreds of new plants are being built across China, India, Indonesia and elsewhere in Asia. However, in Australia, and elsewhere in the deindustrialising West, coal-fired power has been declared public enemy number one by a cult … Continue reading Last Chance Saloon: Nuclear Shift Offers Best Hope For Affordable & Reliable Power

If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards
Rent-seekers and the wind and solar cult have conniptions at the merest mention of nuclear power, principally because it works around-the-clock. No need for batteries. No need for back up. Wild claims about the purported benefits of wind and solar never survive the first contact with reality. So, acolytes have to defer and deflect on … Continue reading If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards
Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition
In the 1980s, the Swedes set out to ditch nuclear power and meet a 100% renewable energy target. Now, in the mother of all reversals, Sweden has decided to follow its neighbour - Finland - with its own move towards safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. The Finns are well ahead of the curve. When Finland … Continue reading Swedes Embrace Nuclear & Join Europe’s Grand Rejection Of Wind & Solar Transition
Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
When Finland powered up its latest nuclear power plant in April wholesale power prices dropped 75%, almost overnight. The Olkiluoto 3 plant (above) is fully operational, generating 1,600 MW of electricity on demand (irrespective of the weather), and delivering 15% of the country’s power needs. Nuclear now provides around half of the country’s total electricity … Continue reading Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever
Apart from wrecking Australia’s reliable and affordable power supplies, there is no Plan A for energy. And there clearly isn’t a Plan B. The Minister in charge of the current fiasco is Chris Bowen. A man who fails to exhibit any sign of intellect, let alone any indication of insight or wisdom. His maniacal mission … Continue reading Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever
Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation
Renewable energy rent seekers and the wind and sun cult hate nuclear power because it works, 24 x 365, whatever the weather. It doesn’t need batteries and it doesn’t need backup. Wind and solar, on the other hand, will never amount to meaningful power sources - ever. No amount of finessing the facts can change … Continue reading Nuclear Now: Time to Scrap Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam & Back Serious Power Generation
Nuclear Energy Should Be Promoted Simply Because It’s Safe, Reliable & Affordable
Renewables driven power pricing and supply calamities have led to the dreaded ‘N’ word being uttered in public. Nuclear power is back in vogue and attracting plenty of attention, some of it for all the right reasons. While climate alarmists keep banging on about carbon dioxide gas (and politicians keep listening) any power source that … Continue reading Nuclear Energy Should Be Promoted Simply Because It’s Safe, Reliable & Affordable
Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment
Poland’s abundant coal-fired power is often the only thing keeping Germany’s lights on when ‘dunkelflaute’ - gloomy, windless weather - strikes. The ever-pragmatic Poles are likely to keep their coal-fired plants running for generations to come. But, keen to reduce dependence on Russian oil and gas, Poland is developing a plan to build new-generation nuclear … Continue reading Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment
America & Canada Get Serious & Go Full-Steam Ahead With Nuclear Renaissance
Nuclear power’s timely renaissance is being led by Canada and the US, with plenty of others following suit. Any country that’s serious about reliable and affordable electricity is getting serious about nuclear power. Britain is crab-walking away from its offshore wind power disaster, with its government recently announcing plans to pump up nuclear power generation, … Continue reading America & Canada Get Serious & Go Full-Steam Ahead With Nuclear Renaissance
Policy No Brainer: New Finnish Government Backs Grand Nuclear Power Expansion
Safe, ever-reliable and always affordable nuclear power is a no-brainer. Especially for those worked up about carbon dioxide gas, nuclear being the only stand-alone generation source that does not generate CO2 in the process. Finland gets it, and has done for decades. Nuclear power is the largest source of energy in Finland, with a current … Continue reading Policy No Brainer: New Finnish Government Backs Grand Nuclear Power Expansion
