Regulatory overkill has been identified as the chief reason (along with media-driven fear) that the U.S. lost its wide lead in nuclear tech.

Great stuff from Chris Morrison:
Possibly one of the dumbest and most scientifically illiterate climate scare stories ever written has been published by the fast-fading UK Sky News. Climate reporter Victoria Seabrook notes that the sea ice on the Arctic “continent” is melting at 12% every decade but she backs it up by publishing a graph clearly showing it has been stable since 2007. She goes on to claim that the Arctic melt will push up sea levels around Britain and fuel worse coastal flooding, seemingly unaware that melting ice in liquid does not raise its level (suggested educational tip, check out ice in a gin and tonic glass). Just for good measure, her silly story throws in the wobbling jet stream and a “shocking” prediction that global temperature could rise by nearly 1°C in just five years.

The subsidised wind and solar chickens are coming home to roost – power prices are rocketing out of control in any jurisdiction attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. Adding mega-batteries only makes matters worse. With the ever-present threat of total blackouts, rent-seekers and their propaganda machines are still attempting to deflect and bury what occurred in Spain and Portugal last month, but the mob always works you out.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup.
First up, Guy Mitchell taps into the laws of physics – the very same immutable laws that mean dilute, diffuse weather and sunshine-dependent wind and solar can never amount to meaningful power generation sources. Ever.

Meanwhile Down Under, hard-pressed households and embattled businesses are being lined up for another 10% hike on what are already the world’s highest power prices and, as the team from Jo Nova explains, the worst is yet to come.

In this two-part essay, Russ Schussler places focus on how subsidised and intermittent wind and solar have totally wrecked once orderly power markets and why you pay the ever-increasing and exorbitant price for that entirely deliberate destruction.

In this video, David Turver takes a look at the same phenomenon in the UK – where colossal subsidies to wind and solar are driving out cheap and reliable gas-fired power and, you guessed it, consumers are paying the price.

We continue that theme with Bjorn Lomborg’s piece than establishes, without a shadow of a doubt, that the principal cause of rocketing power prices is, always and everywhere, subsidised wind and solar.

Alex Epstein details the beginning of the end of the wind and solar scam in the USA, with Congress making its first concerted attack on wind and solar subsidies, with legislators clearing the path for reliable and affordable nuclear power generation, instead.

And, as Robert Bryce details, the expansion of nuclear power in the US has just received the President’s executive endorsement, with a suite of orders issued by Donald J Trump directed at bringing an additional 200 GW of nuclear power generation online by 2035, more than doubling US nuclear power generation.

The surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gained 622 billion tons of new ice and snow since September 1. This is the most in at least eight years, and is far above the the 1981-2010 average.
