Nuclear power doesn’t depend on the weather, and it doesn’t depend upon the whims of despots and cartels. Uranium, the highly-concentrated energy source at its heart, is abundant and readily extracted. All it takes is the wit and the will to do so.

Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the number of mines and states that have banned them, is the world’s third-largest uranium exporter. Happy to export it, but too dim to use it ourselves, thanks to a 25-year-old ban on the use of nuclear power.

On the other hand, the USA has been using it for generations, but has dropped the ball when it comes to extracting and profiting from its own extensive reserves.

As Robert Bryce outlines below, if America wants to make good on its declaration of energy independence, it needs to start by exploiting its…

Being entirely dependent upon subsidies and the weather, the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is on a collision course with reality.

The Swedes are only the latest to join a group more concerned about their citizen’s welfare than the welfare of crony capitalists and rent-seekers, ditching self-destructive plans to rely on wind and solar, plumping for new nuclear power, instead.

The French are demanding a rapid uptake of nuclear power across Europe, sick of their nuclear plants doing most of the heavy lifting when the sun sets and calm weather sets in, leaving Germans scrambling for power.

The lessons from Europe are hiding in plain sight, at least in Australia. Where a mixture of delusion and wishful thinking is driving Australia’s once reliable and affordable power supply to the brink of…
