Nuclear power doesn’t depend on the weather, it doesn’t require batteries and it doesn’t require backup, and it doesn’t depend upon the whims of despots and cartels that control the rare earths and minerals essential for the construction of wind turbines and solar panels. Uranium, the highly-concentrated energy source at its heart, is abundant and … Continue reading First Movers: Russia and China Dominate Race for Nuclear Power Generation

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
Nuclear’s New Dawn: Small Modular Reactors Offer Ever-Reliable CO2-Free Power
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 - unlike the unreliables, wind and solar. One of the feeble ‘arguments’ against it, is that nuclear power plants are of such … Continue reading Nuclear’s New Dawn: Small Modular Reactors Offer Ever-Reliable CO2-Free Power
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
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
