The key to wealth and prosperity is reliable and affordable energy. Which is why the ‘unreliables’, wind and solar threaten both wealth and prosperity (except, of course, those wallowing in the obscene and seemingly endless subsidies paid to the owners of windmills and solar panels). Dr. Lars Schernikau, born and raised in Berlin, Germany studied … Continue reading Intermittent, Diffuse & Costly: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Power This Planet

Time to Dump Subsidised Solar & Get Serious About Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
There’s not much wrong with solar power; except its exorbitant cost, limited and unreliable delivery and the toxic cocktail left behind when the panels expire after a decade of service, and end up crushed up in landfills. In remote locations, backed up with batteries and diesel generators, solar makes sense. However, in populated urban centres … Continue reading Time to Dump Subsidised Solar & Get Serious About Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
Doomsday Prepping: Americans Told to Give Up ‘Selfish’ Demand for Constant Electricity
Wind and solar ‘powered’ Californians and South Australians know what it is to have their power cut when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Mass blackouts and load shedding are part and parcel of our inevitable transition to an all wind and sun powered future. But now we are told, that none of … Continue reading Doomsday Prepping: Americans Told to Give Up ‘Selfish’ Demand for Constant Electricity
Held to Ransom: Smart Meters Shut Off Power Whenever Renewable Energy Output Collapses
So-called smart meters are a very dumb response to intermittent wind and solar, even dumber energy sources. Wherever governments attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, the push to control and micromanage household power use, quickly follows. Over the last few Australian summers, we’ve been treated to power rationing on a grand scale - which … Continue reading Held to Ransom: Smart Meters Shut Off Power Whenever Renewable Energy Output Collapses
In-a-Nutshell: New Research Shows Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Power Us
There’s a reason not to support heavily subsidised wind and solar: they simply don’t work as meaningful power sources; they never have and never will. A team of Irish and US-based researchers have produced a comprehensive piece of research explaining just why any dollar spent propping up chaotically intermittent wind and solar with taxpayer’s money, … Continue reading In-a-Nutshell: New Research Shows Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Power Us
Decade of Despair: Counting Staggering Cost of Ontario’s Wind Power Disaster
It took Ontario’s Green-left lunatics less than a decade to destroy its once reliable and eminently affordable power supply. It was deliberate, it was malicious and it was, in economy wrecking terms, very effective. Dressed up under the guise of its Green Energy Act, the mandated targets for, and preferential treatment of, wind power, the … Continue reading Decade of Despair: Counting Staggering Cost of Ontario’s Wind Power Disaster
Green’s Anti-Mining Stance Depriving Australian Aboriginals of Real Jobs & Opportunities for Progress
The original Australians have plenty of challenges, but right now it’s the human hating, anti-progress Greens that present their greatest threat. The success of Australia’s mining, oil and gas industries is synonymous with the success of many remote, rural and, often predominantly Aboriginal, communities. In terms of employment growth amongst indigenous communities over the last … Continue reading Green’s Anti-Mining Stance Depriving Australian Aboriginals of Real Jobs & Opportunities for Progress
Age of Un-Reason: How Fear & Ignorance Drives Wind & Solar Worship Cult
If it looks like a cult and sounds like a cult, it’s a cult. The new 'green' religion is a world where the naïve and gullible seek salvation through the veneration of wind turbines - as if crucifixes - belief in “the science” has supplanted Scripture and ‘scientists’ peddling doomsday tales garner rapt attention, like … Continue reading Age of Un-Reason: How Fear & Ignorance Drives Wind & Solar Worship Cult
Puffins Pummelled: Offshore Wind Turbines Annihilating Britain’s Seabirds: Entire Species Threatened
Plans to erect thousands more of these things around Britain’s coasts, spell the death knell for millions of seabirds, with several species under threat. While Greta frets about global incineration and mass extinctions, the wind industry is doing a very fine job of extinguishing millions of birds and bats, every year. Indeed, entire species are … Continue reading Puffins Pummelled: Offshore Wind Turbines Annihilating Britain’s Seabirds: Entire Species Threatened
Bogus Wind Farm Plan Scotched: Developer Caught Out Lying In Planning Application
Wind factory developers are universally despised bunch, whose penchant for bullying, lying and deceiving locals knows no bounds. Little wonder that the communities they threaten quickly close ranks and, when they’ve got the resources, lawyer up and fight. And, so it was, in Victoria’s Gippsland, where a group of pro-community defenders managed to expose the … Continue reading Bogus Wind Farm Plan Scotched: Developer Caught Out Lying In Planning Application
