Solving Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity means killing subsidies for wind and solar and kickstarting nuclear power, by removing the ban that prohibits it. As Rafe Champion details below, there are three easy steps that would resolve the current debacle: killing off the subsidies for intermittent power generation; adding a capacity market to the … Continue reading So Simple: Fixing Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Crisis Easy As One, Two, Three

Full-Steam Ahead: Nuclear Power’s Exponential Growth In Power Hungry China
No country serious about growth, industry and jobs is seriously relying on wind and solar power. China is building coal-fired power plants, hand over fist. And its efforts to build nuclear-powered plants are on the same trajectory. China Plans To Dominate The Global Nuclear Energy Push Oil Price Haley Zaremba 3 June 2020 China has … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: Nuclear Power’s Exponential Growth In Power Hungry China
Nuclear’s New Age: Americans Lead Race to Build Small Modular Plants
Small modular nuclear reactors have been powering submarines and ships for generations. Now, enterprising Americans are seeking to bring them onshore, in order to tap an inexhaustible and affordable supply of electricity - available 24 x 7, whatever the weather or time-of-day. With a few rare exceptions, the climate cult hates the concept of nuclear … Continue reading Nuclear’s New Age: Americans Lead Race to Build Small Modular Plants
It’s Time: Fixing Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity Starts By Removing Ban on Nuclear Power
In the midst of a RE-driven power pricing and supply calamity, the only thing worse than talking about nuclear energy, is not talking about nuclear energy. Australia has never had a nuclear power plant, and in 1998 placed an outright ban on nuclear power generation. Which seems a trifle odd, given Australia is the world’s … Continue reading It’s Time: Fixing Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity Starts By Removing Ban on Nuclear Power
System Upgrade: Bill Gates Backs New Wave Nuclear For World’s Clean Energy Future
When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, it’s probably time to listen. Bill Gates made a fortune applying common sense to the untapped market of home computing. The meme has it that IBM’s CEO believed there was only a market for five computers in the entire world. Gates thought otherwise. Building … Continue reading System Upgrade: Bill Gates Backs New Wave Nuclear For World’s Clean Energy Future
For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
There’s no rational explanation as to why Australia exports uranium to the world, but bans its use for power generation on home soil. Cognitive dissonance, might do it. Although STT thinks it’s because Australia’s run by infants and intellectual pygmies. And then there are the just plain gutless, who are too timid to even … Continue reading For Adults Only: High Time Australia Embraced Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
Digging It: Nuclear Power the Obvious Solution For Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Crisis
The dividend from Australia’s obsession with wind and solar is rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. This summer, mass load shedding events are guaranteed, although those responsible for Soviet-era power rationing - the new 'normal' in what was once an energy superpower - are trained to refer to it … Continue reading Digging It: Nuclear Power the Obvious Solution For Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Crisis
America Pushes Nuclear Option: President Launches Plan for Advanced Nuclear Plants
America truly is exceptional: while plenty of Western democracies are still piling into subsidised wind and solar, the USA is getting out. Prior to the election of Donald J Trump, the US was on an economy wrecking trajectory, set by renewable energy rent seekers and the eco-zealots that champion their cause: numerous American states, not … Continue reading America Pushes Nuclear Option: President Launches Plan for Advanced Nuclear Plants
New Australian PM’s Energy Reboot Screaming Out for Nuclear Option, Now
If CO2 gas really is the existential threat it’s made out to be, then nuclear power is the only solution. That’s if you want to provide reliable and affordable electricity to all comers, rather than destroying businesses and punishing households? In 2018, with debacles like wind ‘powered’ Germany, South Australia and Victoria on show, for all the World … Continue reading New Australian PM’s Energy Reboot Screaming Out for Nuclear Option, Now
Small Modular Reactors: Pint-Sized Performers Add to Long-Term Nuclear Solution
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 … Continue reading Small Modular Reactors: Pint-Sized Performers Add to Long-Term Nuclear Solution
