The inevitable disintegration of wind turbines and solar panels provides the perfect example of entropy: inherent disorder, randomness and chaos – all bundled up with the destruction of reliable power supplies and the desecration of pristine environments and/or productive farmland.
On that score – for wind and solar scammers – it’s a case of ‘so far, so good’.
Crony capitalists, who couldn’t care less about the environment, and even less about the provision of reliable electricity at affordable prices.
Which brings us to this week’s roundup.
We kick off with another cracking post from Chris Uhlmann, who highlights the glaring paradox in our essential demand for energy that is always on, available, abundant and increasingly affordable – the more efficient we become at generating electricity, the more we demand it, principally because it is becomes more abundant, reliable and affordable.

In this (lamentful) post from the gang at Ruin-Economy, Sophie Vorrath details the catastrophic implosion of another one of these things. The apparent source of its terminal trouble was, wait for it, “the weather”.

The team from Jo Nova prove the Chinese adage that even a cornered rabbit will fight. Faced with electoral annihilation, the Liberal Opposition have finally taken up the cudgels in an effort to salvage what’s left of Australia’s energy systems.

Vijay Jayaraj reports on a phenomenon which is now so common one might call it a “pattern”. Faced with actual energy shortages, countries across South-East Asian are quietly ditching the net-zero carbon dioxide emissions madness that had been foisted on them by globalist from the West.

Craig Rutter reports on the fact that not only is the Trump administration is smashing subsidised wind and solar, it is all in when it comes to generating power by any reliable means. Coal-fired power is, once again, centre stage and nuclear power generation of all shapes and sizes is attracting investment in the hundreds of $billions.

We round out with a couple of large-scale industrial pyrotechnics events from the USA. As always, the wind power outfits concerned talk about ‘rare and unusual events’. Meanwhile, those in the know, just know.
