The wind and solar power myth has finally been exposed

Steam rises from the coal-fired power plant near wind turbines in Niederaussem, Germany,

as the sun rises on Nov. 2, 2022. Germany is shutting down its last three nuclear power plants

on Saturday, April 15, 2023, as part of an energy transition agreed by successive governments.

Many governments in the Western world have committed to “net zero” emissions of carbon

in the near future. The US and UK both say they will deliver by 2050. It's widely believed

that wind and solar power can achieve this.

This belief has led the US and British governments, among others, to promote and heavily

subsidise wind and solar.

 

These plans have a single, fatal flaw: they are reliant on the pipe-dream

that there is some affordable way to store surplus electricity at scale.

There is one technology that can provide a cheap and reliable supply of low-emissions

electricity: nuclear power. Interest in nuclear power is increasing as more and more people

realise that it is safe and reliable.

If regulators and the public could be persuaded that modern stations are inherently safe and

that low levels of nuclear radiation are not dangerous, nuclear power could provide all

the low cost, low emissions electricity the world needs for hundreds or thousands of years.

 

But if we had 100 per cent nuclear backup for solar and wind,

we wouldn't need the wind and solar plants at all.

Wind and solar are, in fact, completely pointless.
