AI Revolution Drives Huge Gas Plant Build Out (In the USA) –
“Green energy advocates want renewables to power the AI data centers, but wind and solar systems fall far short. AI computers operate 24-hours a day, which can’t be supported by the 30% capacity factor of wind or the 15% capacity factor of solar. Gas plants are designed to deliver their rated output over 90% of the time.
Nuclear plants may be able to power AI in some cases. Retired nuclear facilities in Palisades, Michigan and Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania are being restarted to drive AI. But a start-up nuclear plant costs up to 10 times as much as a gas-fired power plant. It can take more than five years to bring a nuclear plant on-line, compared to 1-2 years for a gas plant. Small modular nuclear reactors promise cost and cycle time breakthroughs, but these are still unproven technology.
Wind and solar also suffer from transmission costs and delays. These systems are scattered over wide areas, requiring new transmission towers and lines to be built across the countryside to aggregate enough power for a large data center. In contrast, gas plants provide concentrated generating power that can be built near the data center and existing transmission lines.”

I would challenge that cost difference when applying it to Australia. Gas is a lot cheaper in the States, but expensive on the eastern side of Australia. Also there is a tendency to use OCGT gas peakers as continuous gas sources in Australia, which is an inefficient and costly use of gas. And surely nuclear has a longer lifetime than CCGT gas, and I’m wondering if that has been taken into account.

Over 500 people arrested at relatively small demo to protest about Palestine Action being made a terrorist organisation. This follows a series of attacks on British defence firms and substantial damage caused to RAF planes.

Emails disclosed in the US by Congressman Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, as part of an investigation into British Government censorship operations, reveal that officials within the British National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT) have been implicated in efforts to suppress online criticism of the British Government’s pro-mass immigration policy, multiculturalism and its two-tier policing policy. Conservative MP David Davis was among several public figures cited as ‘critical of the Government’. Secret messages released by the US House Judiciary Committee show the British State warn of ‘significant volumes of anti-immigrant content’ as well as ‘concerning narratives about the police, a “two-tier” system and people who refer to asylum seekers as ‘undocumented fighting age males’. US officials believe that GCHQ was under orders from Ken (Duggie) McCallum of the Marxist Idiots section 5 (MI5) to assist the National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT), and the Defence and Security Media Advisory Committee (DSMA) to use D Notices to censor information on behalf of the Office For Censorship Obedience & Manipulation (OFCOM), as well the 77th Brigade Domestic Psyops Team, and the Cabinet Office Behavioural Insights Team (BIT). This was so that the “National Security and Online Information Team” (NSOIT), could stop ‘Online harms’ to the “Respected And Trusted” (RAT) British Government, inflicted by voters who protest against the British governments support for, and the housing in hotels of thousands of ‘non-Russian undocumented fighting age males’. An invasion of Britain supported by traitors within the RNLI and Royal Navy. The British Government says that its enemies are patriotic white British people, Russians and the vaccine injured.
170
After the 2 tier justice metered out to immigrant protests etc. recently, you’d thing it would be ‘nice’ to see the lefty idiots given a slap down, but this is just a total farce and a mockery of the rule of law.
The politicians/police should have anticipated this and used some discretion.
It’ll look even sillier if the appeal against the proscription of PA succeeds.

US website INFOWARS says one in five Brits are now prepared to engage in violence if the political situation in the UK deteriorates further: https://www.infowars.com/posts/one-in-five-britons-now-say-theyll-engage-in-political-violence-if-situation-worsens
A survey showed that 70% of adults in the country are now worried that Britain is on the brink of political violence. More than one fifth of respondents—21%—say that political violence can be justified, and—19%—said they would be willing to engage in political violence if need be, and—47%—Brits agree that protests outside migrant hotels are acceptable. Fourteen percent believe it’s acceptable to riot outside migrant hotels. Protests have spread across the UK in recent weeks in response to the government’s policy of housing illegal migrants in hotels. In London, protests took place outside the upmarket Thistle City Barbican hotel, with hundreds gathering and police charging the crowd to make arrests. In Newcastle, protesters rallied under banners that read “for our children, for our future” outside the New Bridge Hotel, which is currently being used to house migrants.
In response to the ongoing protests, the British left-wing government has created a new Stazi organisation to monitor anti-migration sentiment online. Emails disclosed in the US by Congressman Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, as part of an investigation into British Government censorship operations, reveal that officials within the British National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT) have been implicated in efforts to suppress online criticism of the British Government’s pro-mass immigration policy, multiculturalism and its two-tier policing policy, showing that the British State wants to censor the ‘significant volumes of anti-immigrant content’ as well narratives about the left-wing police and its “two-tier” system and people who refer to asylum seekers as ‘undocumented fighting age males’.
The UK Home Office has now formed a new group called the “National Internet Intelligence Investigations Team” (NIIIT). The team of NIT’s are based at the National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC), and will provide the British Government with national-level domestic online spying of British voters protesting and displaying anti-government sentiment. This is on top of a huge range of British censorship and propaganda organisations which include the BBC, OFCOM, GCHQ, MI5, DSMA, the 77th Brigade Domestic Psyops Team, the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) and the National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT).
The British government has vowed to come down hard on protesters. Footage of the current protests have been blocked on X for British users after the country’s controversial new “Online Safety Act” came into effect on Friday.
In response to the left-wing governments censorship, Elon Musk said the purpose of the Act is “suppression of the people.”

“Scientists and amateur naturalists have observed a remarkable range of species not usually widespread in UK waters, including octopus, bluefin tuna and mauve stinger jellyfish.”

Two seconds of research.

‘The Bluefin Tuna we are catching from the South West of England only appeared in 2016 but did you know that for around 30 years in from the 1920’s to 50’s Scarborough in Yorkshire was the centre of Tunny (as they were then known) fishing in the British Isles. Tuna would hunt the giant herring shoals that were present in the North Sea at that time.’
‘P.noctiluca (jellyfish) has been recorded in Irish and UK waters in 21 out of 95 years between 1890 and 1982.’
So clearly not record temperatures and/or not temperature related.
170
The local fishermen tell me that a few tuna are being caught in Torbay but they are fetching very high prices in London so don’t appear in the local fishmongers or restaurants.
Loads of jellyfish at the moment.
A tourist family asked a lifeguard if the space between the yellow flags was one where the jelly fish had been cleared from.
Another asked when they would turn the waves on so they could surf. Many don’t understand tides.

Thanks MrG.
My thought when I skimmed the article.
Their graphs go back – but not very far.
About 1980.
So, given the United Kingdom was formed in 1800, that’s about 20% of the time since then.
Not overwhelming.

Thank you Mr G and Mr A,
one-fifth, or 20% for young climateers who never learned how to divide, add nor subtract, must be the new paradigm shift ‘number’ to scare the carp out of Britain’s huddled masses as they await Doomsday (or a pleasant 30*C day as we Antipodeans would say).
Water temps around the UK, as per that BBC link, have reportedly risen by an existential™️ 0.2*C since winter, or 1/5 of a degree: Holy Flux Mr Attenborough, We’re Dooooom’d! Jellyfish and tuna will take over the world, clogging the English Channel, allowing even more undocumented climate refugees to scamper across the Protestant Moat for a free lunch, free phone, free car, free house, free money… sure sounds better than a reward of 72 sturgeons & a pair of wings (batteries not included).
Also the fancy little graph the Beeb included shows numerous other years ‘hotter’ – OK, a bit warmer – than 2025. Petard meet hoist?

Today, scientists will gather in Perth, WA, to discuss the extreme bleaching event that has killed 90% of the corals on reefs of the north west coast of Australia, according to Dr James Gilmour,
214
Gee, after all these mass bleaching events it is a wonder that there is any coral left. Or just maybe tis is part of the natural order of things coral. After all this phenomena was only discovered 40 years ago.
140
All expenses-paid trip to West Oz? Woohoo! What’s not to like: where do I sign up…
140
I wonder why 4 readers at the moment dislike your comment which gives facts only.
45
Wrong!!!! No facts just propaganda that means more money for the climate grift. Dr James Gilmour – studied at James Cook University. Nuff said, an epicentre of unsubstantiated climate alarmism and the university that sacked Peter Ridd, not for poor science, but for being uncolaigiate in not supporting his fellow academics lies about the Great Barrier Reef. So graduated from a university where lies about coral are more important than truth. “My current research focus is the coral communities on the oceanic reefs of north-western Australia and the near-shore reefs at the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. I lead AIMS monitoring programs of at the oceanic reefs.” Not even good English. Or, in other words, my whole livelihood depends on coming up with an alarmist narrative to get more grants.
131
JCU also persecuted Dr Bob Carter to the point where he was locked out of the ‘puter, even for email.
Bob was my hero. More than anyone else he set me on the right path. RIP.
30
Have just visited Montgomery Reef off the Kimberley coast. No sign of bleaching there.
101
‘Coral bleaching prevalence was highest between Cooktown and Cape York with 41% of the 162 mid-shelf and inshore reefs surveyed with medium to high bleaching prevalence (11-60% bleached).’
Sir … according to the science there is cool upwelling in that area. Not that I’m suggesting cooler waters can bleach.
31
My understanding is that coral bleaches as a result of temperature changes, both up or down. That it’s not the amount of temperature, but the amount of change in temperature that causes the stress, which causes the microalgae that live in the coral to be expelled by the coral.
e.g. The Barrier Reef corals also happily exist further north in water temperatures that are typically warmer than at the BR. So higher temperature is not the problem per se.
00
Coral grows ever upwards, until it can’t. Eventually low tide, midday sun and no wind causing no spray combine to kill off the highest tips.
To say that bleached coral is not necessarily dead is like saying a bleached skeleton is not necessarily dead.
11
Well, we know that a skeleton without the flesh and organs is not going to come back to life if we later slap the tissue parts back on it. But Coral can recover and resume colour and growth when the microalgae / polyps continue their process in the Coral. So we don’t pronounce Coral dead until the bleaching becomes permanent. A bleached skeleton is not temporary.
20
Thanks for that Strop.
The other thing to remember is that during strong El Nino sea level rises in the east Pacific and falls in the west, which leaves the corals exposed. This is particularly common in the coral triangle.
00
Yes. The propaganda/publicity around the more prone to impact shallow corals is a problem because they create a false narrative, and they are just a small portion of the Barrier Reef corals.
00
Just a reminder, the science is not settled.
‘A northern and southern zone of the Great Barrier Reef could stay 1 degree Celsius cooler than surrounding areas into 2080 despite warming oceans.
‘The finding, from a new study, provides hope corals could survive high-carbon-emission scenarios but comes with several caveats.’ (ABC)
12
After few years now I struggle to find out how money, any amount amount of money, could help GBR to survive.
Some time ago, we took our family there to enjoy snorkelling with grandkids, doing usual touristy things.., but I was honestly surprised when our guide declared that in Cook’s time that particular reef was much larger.
Obviously that money helped her to survive.
00
Vlad, I am one of a dwindling number of old timers who knew the GBR before the COT and can assure you that the reefs were far more vibrant when I was young. While it may be true that they are better today than they were 50-60 years ago it is also true they are still but a shadow of their former glory.
And a tiny fraction of the money wasted on other research could go a long way to controlling the COT. It is ages since an autonomous drone was developed to detect and inject the starfish. To the best of my knowledge it is not deployed to control outbreaks before they get out of control. Maybe it should be, we will never know if we don’t try.
First COT Outbreak on GBR
The first widely documented outbreak of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) was detected in 1962 at Green Island.
Although it is possible that earlier outbreaks occurred and went undetected, this 1962 event is the first confirmed occurrence in the historical record.
00
Is mentioning COT verboten? Cancelled again!
00
Bleaching of corals does not necessarily mean that the corals have been killed. Yes they are under stress and may die, however not all bleached corals will be killed off.
31
So the “scientists” couldn’t find anything wrong with the GBR, so now they turn their attention to the WA reefs, which have been studied for how long? Perhaps a couple of years? Sheesh…
51
Hi Peter.
I can’t see anything in the link you provided that supports the claim that 90% of corals in the north west have been killed. Can you please point out where exactly that is stated? Or any other source that states it?
Maybe I’m just missing it so I would appreciate if you could point me to it. Thanks.
So not to appear lazy, I did look at some other links in that link too. Including a media release dated today, produced by that group, specifically for WA corals.
https://www.aims.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-08/Media%20release%20WA%20coral%20bleaching%20August%2025.pdf
It seems they say some locations have had extreme bleaching and mortality (>90%) but also down to medium (11%-30%). And they say that bleached coral is not a dead coral – it can recover. They also say they don’t know and won’t know for months, how much.
Intrigued as to how you got a definite this event “has killed 90% of the corals on reefs of the north west coast of Australia”.

Counting the dead at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
By Alex Wellerstein August 4, 2020
How many people died as a result of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
There is one thing that everyone who has tackled this question has agreed upon: The answer is probably fundamentally unknowable.
The indiscriminate damage inflicted upon the cities, coupled with the existing disruptions of the wartime Japanese home front, means that any precise reckoning is never going to be achieved.
But beginning in 1945, people have tried to estimate the number of the dead and injured. The casualties from the first atomic bombings are not of mere historical interest. They are part of how we understand the effects of nuclear weapons today — for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thankfully, remain the only instances of these weapons being used in warfare, and thus provide an invaluable “data set” upon which to base other understandings and simulations. The estimated casualties also play a nuanced role in the various narratives and arguments about the end of World War II.
This preamble is merely to suggest how widely the earliest assessments varied—by an entire order of magnitude—and to give some sense of the context of what followed: Aside from the many technical and historical reasons one might want to know the consequences of the bombs, the number of dead impinges on any moral and ethical evaluations of the bombings as well, even for those like Oppenheimer and Truman.
Japanese claims of radiation casualties would soon follow, and vigorous American denials (in the face of any actual evidence) heightened the stakes considerably.

Hiroshima Memories
By Hideko Tamura Friedman – July 17, 2023
(To mark the occasion of the Hiroshima bombing, the Bulletin is republishing this article, which originally appeared in the May/June 1995 issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Vol. 51, No. 3, 16-22)
20
Last Sunday night, SBS aired a doco (Burning Sky) detailing first hand accounts from the US Marines detailed to the USS Curtis operations in the Pacific to detonate the series of experimental Hydrogen bomb tests in the 1950s..
A lot of information from many of those service men sent to secure and “observe” the tests….
..but the common opinion from them all was whilst it was incredibly impressive, at about 1000 times the combined power of the Hiroshima+Nagasaki bombs,.. ( the scientists underestimated the energy released !) ..anyone who witnessed that test would never want to contemplate that type of weapon ever being unleashed again !
The program can be seen on SBS OnDemand .
40
A timeline of nuclear tests 1945-1998, which I posted ages ago:
https://youtu.be/I9lquok4Pdk?si=ExLYByRV3UTmw1z_
Can’t help but wonder what all those tests have done to destabilise the planet.
As for Hiroshima, I have a source detailing the post detonation horrors, something that chills you to the bone. Not going to link it, but I hope forlonely that I never have to experience anything like it. Death is preferable.
10
Cry me a river. Japan was in a hopeless position, militarily, after the Marianas turkey shoot where they lost nearly 500 planes in a day. They always had the option of suing for peace but steadfastly held out, even after 100,000 dead in the Tokyo fire bombing and two atomic bombs. I don’t necessarily think this is right but there is a school of thought that it was only the threat of an imminent Russian invasion that forced their hand. Going to war is optional.
10
One of my neighbours emigrated from Japan to NZ, and when his son developed leukemia he said “My parents were at Hiroshima, I have bad genes…”
I’m sure they have lots of data on cancer rates from the following 50years and onwards, but rather like Iraq, the Americans will be doing what they can to suppress it.
20
Maybe Japan can blame that for the 600,000 deaths being attributed to the vaxx now.
Gotta find an excuse. Any excuse.
30
Reason for post, was that my Wife last night, had given me Grandson’s Crib Notes for Art of Speach on Atomic Bomb to read, and he had stated that Millions were Killed in Hiroshima – which I knew was not right, and I found this excellent review of the Topic
