One of the great things about being a prominent organisation that releases complex material to select media under embargo is that you can get uncontested coverage in the first (and probably only) news cycle. Adrian Orr will have been glad of that when it came to the embargoed release yesterday (the public only got to […]

Resistance Is Futile: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Can Only Be Met With Nuclear Power

The fact that those pushing net-zero emissions targets aren’t talking seriously about nuclear power, says it all. If energy policy is left in the hands of the wind and sun cult – and other weather-obsessed lunatics – it won’t be long before we’re all left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. Those with financial […]

Not So Bright Spark: Grand Renewable Energy ‘Battery’ Plan Runs Flat
29 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
Hubris drives the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’, which now depends upon the myth of giant batteries compensating for the vagaries of the weather and sunset. These mythical batteries come in all shapes and sizes and with enough added hyperbole have grown to include the entire island state of Tasmania. Touted with the rent-seeking classes’ […]

Upgrade if you want to participate.]Back in 2015, I found myself deeply dissatisfied with all of the other theories of left and right. Survive/thrive theory is especially overrated. So I modestly proposed my own:…

Japan’s population decline is both a crisis and an opportunity
28 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
New Zealand’s Population Conference is on in Auckland this week, so population issues have been on my mind. In the past, I’ve written about population decline in Japan. Things have escalated since that earlier post, as the Guardian reported last month:Every one of Japan’s 47 prefectures posted a population drop in 2022, while the total number…

How 30,000 Industrial Wind Turbines Have Wrecked Germany’s Environment
28 Aug 2023 2 Comments
Germany has been overrun with 30,000 giant industrial wind turbines and millions of solar panels.

It’s an argument that holds all the logic of amputating an entire leg to prevent a septic toe from doing any further damage […]
