Our weekly roundup has articles smashing the myth that wind, solar plus giant batteries are perfectly designed to power first world economies – with one drawing focus on the disaster that unfolded in Broken Hill, NSW, and another on “demand management”, a policy that involves telling power consumers to stop consuming power because wind and solar can’t cut the mustard when it counts.
We’ve got articles showing the desperate lengths being taken by the Climate Industrial Complex to avoid any competition with ever-reliable, emissions free nuclear power. Hysteria amongst wind and sun cult reach new levels this week, when Australia’s Federal Leader of the Opposition, Peter Dutton pitched a do or die energy policy that would retain Australia’s coal-fired power fleet into the immediate future, while building large-scale nuclear power plants right alongside them. Predictably enough, politicians and their rent-seeking mates have taken self-interested apoplexy to new heights.
Another piece details how dilute and diffuse wind and solar generation is creating a cyber security nightmare, with hackers salivating at the opportunity of using backdoor attacks through wind and solar plants (including rooftop solar) to bring down an entire grid. We’ve got a collection covering Europe’s self-inflicted subsidised wind and solar calamity. And we round out the list with a piece giving thanks and praise for hydrocarbons and their myriad benefits, critical to civilised societies.
