Spain’s 100% ‘reliance’ on wind and solar led to the World’s largest self-inflicted, total blackout, ever. Sure, wild winds and lightning will down power lines and plunge parts of a country into darkness. But, when sunset and/or benign, overcast weather are enough to sink an entire power grid, your obsession with intermittent wind and solar can only end one way.
The disaster was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. What was touted as an ‘unexpected’ collapse in solar output, killed the Iberian grid. The only saving grace for the Spanish and Portuguese suffering the greatest blackout in their history, was nuclear power delivered by the French.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup.
Acknowledging all the above, the French President, Emmanuel Macron dared to speak the unspeakable – as reported by the team from Jo Nova.

Wind and solar obsessed Germany is renowned for having the “World Dumbest Energy Policy”. The script for Germany’s energy policy could have been lifted from Mike Judge’s devolutionary tale, Idiocracy. A world which is run by congenital idiots and everything falls apart. In this piece, Pierre L. Gosselin reports on how Germany’s gas shortage is literally bringing its (remaining) industry to its knees.

Leslie Eastman reports on one of those embarrassing little moments the wind industry would rather ignore. Of course, slaughtering apex predators, like America’s Bald Eagle hardly ruffles any feathers amongst the wind cult. This time, the victim was sliced and diced at the University of Minnesota’s Eolos Wind Energy Research Field Station in Dakota County, Minnesota. Oops!
