The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources

Stunned Still: Offshore Wind Farm Power Cables Leave Crabs Mesmerised & Motionless
Seabirds, whales and dolphins aren’t offshore wind’s only victims - crabs are being mesmerised by the electromagnetic fields produced by the power cables that connect turbines to each other and to the grid. A scientific study has found that the magnetic fields generated by these cables attract crabs that then remain in place, fixated on … Continue reading Stunned Still: Offshore Wind Farm Power Cables Leave Crabs Mesmerised & Motionless
More ‘Green’ Energy Victims: Wind Farm Landslides Wiping Out Fertile Farmland
With friends like the wind industry, who needs enemies? No one could accuse the wind industry of caring about the environment in which we live. In Quang Tri Province, Vietnam dozens of wind farms are under construction, with turbines being planted on top of steep ridgelines that sit above fertile valleys. In high rainfall country, … Continue reading More ‘Green’ Energy Victims: Wind Farm Landslides Wiping Out Fertile Farmland
Energy Matters: Why Wind & Solar Make Trivial Contribution to World’s Energy Needs
Notwithstanding the $billions in subsidies directed to wind and solar, their joint contribution to energy demand amounts to little more than a rounding error. Oil and gas still account for more than 80% of world energy demand and talk about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future, remains just that. Energy … Continue reading Energy Matters: Why Wind & Solar Make Trivial Contribution to World’s Energy Needs
Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
Economics is about using scarce resources to meet insatiable wants; in contrast wind and solar devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Diffuse, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources – because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. However, as a source of insatiable … Continue reading Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
Solar’s Dirty Secret: Chinese Solar Panels Built Using Uyghurs & Kazakh Slave Labour
The CCP’s use of Uyghur and Kazakh slaves allows China to manufacture the world’s cheapest solar panels and the first world to feel smug about using them. You know, that holier-than-thou grin worn by the faux ‘green’ who reckons he’s done his fair share to save the planet by pinning a few kilowatts worth of … Continue reading Solar’s Dirty Secret: Chinese Solar Panels Built Using Uyghurs & Kazakh Slave Labour
Fat Cat Shakedown: Crony Capitalists Begging Governments for $Billions for ‘Green’ Hydrogen
Crony capitalists are begging for massive taxpayer-backed subsidies to produce ‘green’ hydrogen gas using wind and solar as a way of converting useless, unpredictable and unreliable electricity into something that might be used as and when consumers need it; rather than something that depends on the whims of mother nature. The majority of hydrogen available … Continue reading Fat Cat Shakedown: Crony Capitalists Begging Governments for $Billions for ‘Green’ Hydrogen
What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
There’s a new definition of insanity: trying to satisfy net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets without nuclear power. Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison’s energy policy falls well within that definition, which probably makes this country one of the largest lunatic asylums, on earth. Morrison headed off to Glasgow to join 25,000 virtue signallers, crony capitalists and … Continue reading What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
Fire & Fury: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines A Clear & Present Danger to Life & Limb
Giant industrial wind turbines routinely shed their blades, collapse and/or burst into terrifying fireballs. Contrary to their ‘super-safe’, ‘clean’, ‘green’ image, giant industrial wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have exploded into in palls of smoke and balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal … Continue reading Fire & Fury: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines A Clear & Present Danger to Life & Limb
French Resistance: Couple Collect €100,000 In Damages For Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
The grinding, thumping cacophony generated by giant industrial wind turbines delivers wholly unnecessary misery worldwide. Sleep deprivation is first among the list of adverse health effects caused by these things and the pulsing low-frequency noise they generate. The wind industry has fought tooth and nail to avoid the consequences of the harm it dishes out, … Continue reading French Resistance: Couple Collect €100,000 In Damages For Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
