Renewables acolytes have been massaging the numbers for years, in an attempt to show that wind and solar power are the cheapest of all. The standard bag of tricks includes ignoring the capital cost of having every single (unreliable) megawatt of wind or solar constantly backed up by another (reliable) megawatt of coal, gas, nuclear … Continue reading No Contest: Never Reliable Wind & Solar Can’t Compete with Ever Reliable Coal-Fired Power

China Crisis: Beijing’s Ban On Australian Coal Leaves Millions Freezing In The Dark
Millions of Chinese are learning just how important coal-fired power is to their health, safety and comfort, thanks to Beijing’s ban on Australian coal imports.

Australia’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Rush Threatens Total Power Grid Collapse
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Now, amongst the myriad of energy commissars and boffins, it’s a case of avoiding responsibility for the disaster that everybody (save them) saw coming. For years the likes of Kerry Schott - head of the inaptly named Energy Security Board - … Continue reading Australia’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Rush Threatens Total Power Grid Collapse
Power Policy Hijacked: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Holding Power Consumers Hostage
A slavish obsession with intermittent wind and solar has reliably delivered unreliable power and rocketing power prices. The politics of power has been taken out of the hands of voters and is now firmly in the grasp of cashed-up rent seekers - hell-bent on parachuting their own pet candidates into green-tinged seats, across the … Continue reading Power Policy Hijacked: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Holding Power Consumers Hostage
Peanuts to Pay For Total Chaos: Wind Power Outfit Fined $1 Million For Causing Statewide Blackout
On 28 September 2016, the automatic shutdown of wind turbines in South Australia during a spring storm delivered a statewide ‘system black’. South Australia’s hapless Premier, Jay Weatherill led the wind industry’s propaganda charge, pointing the finger at the collapse of a couple of power pylons in the state’s mid-North as the cause of a … Continue reading Peanuts to Pay For Total Chaos: Wind Power Outfit Fined $1 Million For Causing Statewide Blackout

Wind Industry’s New Wave of ‘Green’ Destruction: German Forests Face Wholesale Wipe-Out
The wanton destruction of Germany’s ancient forests has brought its faux Greens head to head with those who actually care about the environment. The once pleasant green vistas that defined Germany’s landscape have made way for more than 30,000 of these things. And to do so, the German wind industry has been carving up wood … Continue reading Wind Industry’s New Wave of ‘Green’ Destruction: German Forests Face Wholesale Wipe-Out
Nuclear Power: The Long-Term Solution to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Calamity
Thanks to an obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Australians face another summer of planned power rationing (aka ‘load shedding’) and the unplanned kind (aka ‘mass blackouts’). Cue the first long, hot spell in January, when power demand spikes as ACs get cranked into action to cool homes and businesses and refrigerated systems have to … Continue reading Nuclear Power: The Long-Term Solution to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Calamity
Norway Says ‘No Way’: Norwegian Government Faces Furious Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power
Pollster’s claims about everyone being in favour of wind power hit a brick wall just as soon as wind turbines get speared into their backyards. Funny about that. Delivering a grinding, thumping, pulsing cacophony of low-frequency noise; destroying bog lands, waterways and poisoning underground water supplies; throwing 15 tonne blades to the four winds; sparking … Continue reading Norway Says ‘No Way’: Norwegian Government Faces Furious Backlash Against Industrial Wind Power

The rush to an all wind and sun powered future has left Germans sensing the kind of regret that comes with youthful exuberance - something about acting in haste and repenting at leisure springs to mind. Having carpeted Deutschland with more than 30,000 of these things over the last 20 years, many of them are … Continue reading Out of Sight: What to Do With Germany’s 1.35 Million Tonnes of Toxic Wind Turbine Blades?
