Nothing focuses thinking on energy policy like not having heat, light and power on tap. With Europe now hostage to its aggressive Eastern neighbour - thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar and the need to back it up with oil and gas - policy wonks of all descriptions have started talking … Continue reading No Nonsense Solution: Nuclear Ultimate Answer to Powering an Energy Hungry World

Old King Coal Trumps Wind & Solar: In An Energy Starved World the Black Stuff Still Rules
Wind and solar advocates keep carping that ‘coal is dead’, as if thermal power generation had gone the same way as the dodo and flared trousers. This wouldn't be the first time an obituary has been published way too early. Mark Twain noted that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. So too, coal-fired … Continue reading Old King Coal Trumps Wind & Solar: In An Energy Starved World the Black Stuff Still Rules
Russia’s Ukrainian Invasion Equation: Europe Ditches Wind & Solar Transition
Like a jilted bride, wind and solar have lost all love and favour as Europe scrambles for reliable and affordable energy. Now it seems that the only inevitable thing about the ‘inevitable transition’ is that when people are forced to choose between electricity delivered reliably and affordably and the purportedly clean and green kind, they … Continue reading Russia’s Ukrainian Invasion Equation: Europe Ditches Wind & Solar Transition
RE-Volt: Greeks Sue Wind Developers for Nightly Wind Turbine Noise Torture
If you’re looking for litigious trouble, spear a few giant industrial wind turbines in someone’s backyard and you’ll soon find it. Americans have made suing wind developers for noise nuisance a national pastime. Now the Greeks are getting in on the act. Hélène Colliopoulou details the fury that’s led to locals lawyering up and suing … Continue reading RE-Volt: Greeks Sue Wind Developers for Nightly Wind Turbine Noise Torture
Green Dream Delivers Daily Reality: Power Rationing, Blackouts & Rocketing Power Bills
In the fantasy land occupied by green dreamers, the wind is always blowing and the sun is always shining. Not for them the reality of sunset and calm weather. It’s their truth, and they’re sticking with it. Destabilising grids and power markets, chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar may be beloved of crony … Continue reading Green Dream Delivers Daily Reality: Power Rationing, Blackouts & Rocketing Power Bills
Green Civil War: Grassroots Environmental Groups Turn On Wind & Solar ‘Industries’
The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: they love industrial wind and solar power and couldn’t care less about the unbridalled environmental destruction they cause. Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he or she initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by … Continue reading Green Civil War: Grassroots Environmental Groups Turn On Wind & Solar ‘Industries’
Tesla’s Incendiary Mega-Batteries: The Bigger They Come, The Longer They Burn
Giant lithium-ion batteries are said to be the saviour of intermittent wind and solar. But their pesky habit of exploding into toxic fireballs suggests that they’re not really part of the ‘inevitable transition’ team, after all. ‘Bombs’ are designed to store and quickly release copious amounts of energy, so are the mega-batteries being rolled out … Continue reading Tesla’s Incendiary Mega-Batteries: The Bigger They Come, The Longer They Burn
Critical Power Grab: How Putin Profits From The West’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Europe’s ‘inevitable’ transition to wind and solar is in tatters, as Vlad Putin rips up Ukraine and delivers an energy pricing and supply calamity to shellshocked Europeans. The idea that got them there was fairly simple: carpet Europe with millions of solar panels and wind turbines and use Russian oil and gas to keep the … Continue reading Critical Power Grab: How Putin Profits From The West’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Filthy Rich Get To Soak In Massive Solar Subsidies – While The Poor Get Nothing
The adage about those who already have getting even more is clearly at work with the virtue-signalling beneficiaries of solar power subsidies. Sure, you don’t have to be a dotcom billionaire to have a house covered in shiny panels, but the bigger the pad, the bigger the burden on the taxpayers who foot the bill. … Continue reading Filthy Rich Get To Soak In Massive Solar Subsidies – While The Poor Get Nothing
No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip
A month or so back, Germany’s green-infested government was talking up the end of coal and nuclear power plants; the last phase in its ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun-powered future, as the wind and sun cult would have it. Well. That was then, this is now. With the squeeze on Russian gas … Continue reading No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip
