2021 was the year when the inherent unreliability of wind and solar revealed how everything depends upon reliable and affordable power supplies.
The wind and solar ‘industries’ talk a big game; and in their wilder moments even claim to be capable of replacing conventional coal, gas and nuclear generators, altogether.

The mega-batteries touted as a solution are nothing but an expensive pipe dream.
Which is why the French, among others, are now talking about nuclear power as if it was their very first love.
In short, the deliberate destruction of reliable and affordable power supplies has put their critical significance front and centre.
