Asia Is Going Nuclear and the United States Should Help
Asia is the fastest growing region for nuclear energy production, and the most consequential for major-power competition.
For Gen Z, Why Nuclear Energy Future Is a Unifying Force in a Divided World
Just over a year ago, the headlines were everywhere: Three Mile Island Unit 1 was coming back online as the Crane Clean Energy Center. A site that once defined an…
Rationality Returns to Australia as Climate Scare Wanes
The National Party’s abandonment of net zero signals broader rebellion. State branches in Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia had already rejected the target, pressuring federal leaders. Even mainstream media…
The Problem With Wind Energy in the Northwest
With rapidly increasing demand for electricity, expected to roughly double by mid-century (see NW Power Council estimate below), without new generation capacity, there is a near certainty of blackouts, particularly…
Consultant Class Belatedly Recognizes Energy Realities
For those who have repeated energy realities for years, the vindication is bittersweet. The satisfaction of being right is tempered by the knowledge that many have suffered because reality has…
Virginia green energy mandates—an ‘impending train wreck’
With the Democrat-controlled House of Delegates continuing to refuse to take action, the approaching gubernatorial race could decide the fate of the power grid in Virginia.
For National Security, We Need Uranium Mined in America
Our dependence on imported minerals, particularly from adversaries, poses a grave threat to national security. And it will cause serious trouble for key sectors of our economy if something isn’t…
The Energy Trifecta: Nuclear, Fossil Fuels…and Geothermal Energy
The U.S. stands at a pivotal crossroads in its energy future. As artificial intelligence (AI) accelerates its transformation of industries and daily life, the nation’s appetite for electricity is surging…
Good Laugh For Today: New York State Says It Will Build A New Nuclear Power Plant
Does something here seem like it doesn’t quite fit? Yes, it was just four years ago, in April 2021, that New York completed the forced closure of the two perfectly…
Govt To Invest £14.2 Bn In Sizewell C
The £14.2 billion mentioned will be direct government investment in the project, which will still be owned by EDF. Private investors are still being sought, and a Final Investment Decision…
Kathryn Porter on British Thought Leaders
The problem that we had in Britain on the 8th of January was we nearly just ran out of electricity. We didn’t have enough available generation to meet demand. So,…
“Renewable” Electricity Champion Denmark Now Looking into Nuclear
Now that Denmark has recognized the need for some form of high-inertia synchronous generation to make its grid work reliably, it’s hard to see how they can avoid the next…
Texas takes giant steps toward nuclear energy dominance
Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp last week announced that his university has surpassed even the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology and now has the nation’s largest nuclear engineering research department.
Fossil Fuels Save New England From Freezing in the Dark… Again
Fossil fuels save New England from freezing in the dark… Again
Professor Stefan Rahmstorf and Thermodynamics
Doubters of the greenhouse effect are sometimes rightly accused of denying the climate problem. But what are Rahmstorf, Lesch and Co. doing when they reject everything except green energies, which…
French Nuclear: End of the Line?
Flamanville, he writes, “is likely one of the last nuclear plants to be built in Europe. Hinckley Point may be completed at some point in the future in the UK,…
Coal Will Power Kazakhstan into a Nuclear Future
Kazakhstan’s reliance on coal is deeply entrenched, and for good reason. The country possesses some of the largest coal reserves in the world – an estimated 25 billion tons. Coal-fired…
Another eXcellent Post from Chris Martz

The real reason Silicon Valley silent quit on the Democrats, and quietly backed President Trump’s America first energy policies.
Big Energy Policy Mistake: “All Of The Above”
It’s a little late for this election cycle, but I would highly suggest that it is time to ditch this nonsense. Renewables (and carbon capture, and hydrogen) either don’t work…
Germany Risks being Left behind…Big Tech Confirms CO2 Neutrality Only Possible With Nuclear Power
Big Tech’s move to nuclear energy to power its data centers show that green energies like wind and sun alone cannot meet the energy needs of our modern digital world.
