The net-zero nut jobs are howling like banshees about the lack of liquid fuel. Hypocrisy amongst hydrocarbon haters is the new black. On their world view, the myriad benefits of oil and gas are for them, not YOU.
Same goes for electricity. Mandates and massive subsidies for chaotically delivered wind and solar, coupled with punitive taxes on power generated by coal or gas had a deliberate target: abundant, reliable and affordable electricity. And YOU.
In the US, by contrast, the return to energy sanity couldn’t be starker.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup.
Alex Epstein reports on the turnaround in America’s energy fortunes, where subsidies are being slashed and rent-seekers have descended into furious apoplexy.

The team from Jo Nova deliver two crackers this week. The first reports on a tiny South Australian outback town, Coober Pedy that largely runs on diesel generated power, but for a few hours it managed to run on wind and solar alone. Never mind that the town spent almost $200 million in its attempt to power to a population of 1,600 people on nothing but sunshine and breezes. The next post reports on the mass blackouts that struck Spain and Portugal in April last year, and how engineers had been warning the government for some time about the inevitable grid collapse that would be caused by wind and solar.
Renewables finally powers Coober Pedy for … *five days straight!*

Roger Pielke unpacks the myth that wind and solar ‘replace’ coal, oil and gas. Pointing out that when the wind drops and the sun sets, more oil, gas and diesel gets consumed than ever before.
