Small Modular Reactors Advance In The Nuclear World

May 13, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By Dr. Kelvin Kemm ~ The first two decades of the 21st Century will go down in history as a time of amazing world confusion about energy supplies, particularly electricity. This is all due to electricity planning being done too much at a political policy level, and not by engineers and scientists. This in turn […]

Why Climate Activists And Environmentalists Should Support Nuclear Power

August 7, 2021 by PA Pundits - International

By Katie Tubb and Mary Riordan ~ For environmentalists and climate activists who are serious about realistic energy options to reduce pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear power is a compelling option. A feisty Twitter exchange between Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, brought the issue to the fore. Sanders, a sponsor […]

Power Outages And The Indian Point Closure: An “I Told You So” Event

July 28, 2021 by PA Pundits - International

From the team at CFACT ~ BY JONATHAN LESSER: A few days before the Indian Point nuclear plant was permanently shuttered on April 30 of this year, I warned New Yorkers to prepare for power outages this summer. The plant had provided one-fourth of NYC’s electricity. Shutting it down created a cavernous hole in electricity […]

Two Nuclear Options

January 30, 2021 by PA Pundits - International

By Paul Driessen ~ We’ve heard about “nuclear options” since Harry was still Senator Reid. America now faces two major nuclear options: one involves political power, the other power to run an energy-dependent economy. In the political arena, President Biden and his allies are already going nuclear. With a resurgent Deep State to back it […]

Nuclear Superior To Wind And Solar

January 24, 2021 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Future energy mixes should show a growing contribution from modern nuclear power plants. That is the core finding of the new “No Regrets Energy Policy” proposed by the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL). CLINTEL finds current governmental energy-transitions to be “scientifically unfounded and economically suicidal” because of their dependence on wind […]

Renewables And Nuclear: False Hopes And Unfounded Fears

November 30, 2020 by PA Pundits - International

By Vijay Raj Jayaraj ~ The world is becoming an increasingly hostile place for power plants that use traditional fossil fuels to generate power. Even Joe Biden, who is expected to become President of the U.S. soon, has made it a priority to abolish traditional fossil fuel-based power. But among the available alternative energy sources, […]

Modular Nuclear Reactors For Defense And Disasters

May 13, 2020 by PA Pundits - International

By Duggan Flanakin ~ While there has been little interest of late in developing new-generation nuclear reactors to power the U.S. electric grid, some new initiatives at the Department of Defense – spurred in part by complaints of dumping by U.S. uranium miners – may just be the spark needed to move the U.S. back into […]

A Misguided Approach To Nuclear Power In ‘Energy Innovation’ Bill

March 3, 2020 by PA Pundits - International

By Katie Tubb ~ Being “well intentioned” isn’t the same as doing well. Look no further than the recently introduced American Energy Innovation Act. The bill proposes an extensive federally funded and directed research, development, and demonstration program for advanced nuclear technologies through the Department of Energy. It’s Act 2 of the Nuclear Energy Leadership […]

Electricity In The Realm Of The Lion King

September 26, 2019 by PA Pundits - International

From the team at CFACT ~ By Dr. Kelvin Kemm ~ Hydro power is a good way to generate electricity. In most political circles, it is considered environment-friendly because it does not produce carbon dioxide, and it is not complicated. Norway has extensive hydro and can claim to have very green energy, which Norwegians do. […]

Reflections On Vogtle’s Perennial Drama

October 6, 2018 by PA Pundits - International

By Katie Tubb ~ Some of the dust is beginning to settle after another projected cost increase of the Vogtle power station in Georgia, where the only two nuclear power plants being built in the U.S. today are located. Completion of the 2,200-megawatt project was unclear last week, as the three biggest utility partners fell […]

Renewable Power Australia – Will The ABC Then Promote Nuclear Power?

April 9, 2018 by PA Pundits - International

By Andrew Bolt ~ Australia’s ABC Media flogs its global warming agenda: UK Conservatives are embracing a future without coal-fired power stations. Chris Uhlmann points out the catch – Britain’s other power sources: Can’t wait for the ABC to start pushing for the nuclear power demonised for decades – just as it demonises coal today. […]

Greed Energy Economics: Very Good: New EU proposals would kill solar and wind Study: Evaluation of a proposal for grid power with 100% wind, water, and solar Climate Change has cost you at least $166 Billion so far Solar Power […]

How The French Fight Global Warming

October 25, 2014 by PA Pundits - International

By Katie Tubb ~ The past month has seen considerable news on the global warming front—the National Academy of Sciences found that the U.N. underestimates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbed by plants, Greenpeace’s founder described the group as an “evil organization” that has “lost concern for humanity,” and a paper in the journal […]

Wind Power Fail – 2012 – Same As Always

December 13, 2012 by TonyfromOz

EVERY WIND TOWER IN THE U.S. CAN ONLY GENERATE THE SAME ELECTRICAL POWER AS JUST 9 NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, WHICH IS ONLY ONE SIXTH OF THE ENTIRE AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER FLEET. While this looks to be a questionable and emotive thing to say, it is in fact the truth of the matter. Currently, in the […]

Nuclear Electrical Power Generation – Why The Fuss? – Introduction

October 19, 2010 by TonyfromOz

UPDATE 2012. This series is now more than three years old, and while nearly all the information is generic and still current, what is not current is the Post dealing with costings. This Post was based around information available at the time, almost four years old now, and that information changes quite regularly, so constantly […]

The Major Physical Impossibility Of Solar Thermal Power

October 14, 2010 by TonyfromOz

This first part here may seem boring, but it is absolutely critical when discussing this matter. If you pass a single wire through a magnetic field, a flow of electrons is induced in that wire, hence, pretty basically, you have generated electrical power, the flow of electrons. So, it stands to reason that if that […]

Kerry Lieberman American Power Act – New Power Comparison

May 31, 2010 by TonyfromOz

The American Power Act sponsored by Senators Kerry and Lieberman bears some further looking at for some of things it proposes in respect of ‘new’ electrical power. The Peterson Institute for International Economics carried out what was termed as an ‘independent’ analysis of the proposed legislation, basically backing up the intent of the legislation. In […]

NYT Fact Check Failure Agrees With ‘Independent’ Report Fact Check Failure

May 24, 2010 by TonyfromOz

By its very nature, this is a long post, but it effectively highlights a deception that is being perpetrated on the public to suit a political agenda. Don’t you just love it when, in the name of factual media reporting, journalists diligently chase up the actual facts before publishing what they write, instead of just […]

The Objections To Wind Farms

February 10, 2010 by PA Pundits - International

By Michael Fumento Despite massive subsidies, wind power still only provides about two percent of U.S. energy. Part of the problem is inherent. It takes a lot of turbines to produce the power that a single coal-fired or nuke plant can produce. So wind farms are going to comprise a lot of turbines. And that […]
