Industrial wind power has landed in the “it seemed like a good idea, at the time” pile of monumental human failures. Producing electricity at the whims of mother nature means wind power has absolutely no commercial value, at all: strangely, power consumers want electricity as and when they need it, not just when the wind … Continue reading Brutal Reality Check: Industrial Wind Power Ain’t ‘Green’ & It Certainly Ain’t ‘Clean’

Elder Abuse: Renewable Energy Obsession Leaves Millions of Grannies Freezing In The Dark
As night follows day, rocketing power prices are the inevitable consequence of the inevitable transition to subsidised and unreliable wind and solar. The burden of all that glorious virtue signalling falls disproportionately on those on low and fixed incomes. Add the normal path of decrepitude, frailty and illness to impecuniousity and you’ve got a recipe … Continue reading Elder Abuse: Renewable Energy Obsession Leaves Millions of Grannies Freezing In The Dark
Wasted Time: US Squanders Countless $Billions in Subsidies to Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Power consumption is a here and now kind of thing, so talk about wind power powering 100,000 homes is utter nonsense. To expose the lie, the inquisitive need only ask when, precisely? When will those 100,000 homes be powered in any meaningful sense by a power source that’s entirely dependent upon the vagaries of the … Continue reading Wasted Time: US Squanders Countless $Billions in Subsidies to Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Doomsday Fatigue: Corona-Mania Leaves Climate Change Hysteria For Dead
COVID-19 has spread its share of misery, made all the worse by the doomsday cult that cry ‘apocalypse’ at every challenge humanity faces. This is the same class of character who, barely weeks ago, were dressing up like goblins and gluing themselves to the roads in order to save us from, you guessed it, the … Continue reading Doomsday Fatigue: Corona-Mania Leaves Climate Change Hysteria For Dead
Wilderness Wipeout: Giant Wind & Solar Farms Destroying Pristine Wildlife Habitats
The scale of the environmental destruction wreaked by giant wind and solar farms is out of all proportion to the economic benefits they provide; if any.

Never Ending Story: Wind Industry Delivers Part-Time Power But Demands Perpetual Subsidies
The wind and solar industries face an existential threat, with governments throwing every available resource at resuscitating their economies, instead of pandering to the renewable energy sector. The Draconian measures adopted to prevent the spread of COVID-19 mean that governments have a choice. Throw taxpayer’s dollars at filthy rich wind and solar power outfits (which … Continue reading Never Ending Story: Wind Industry Delivers Part-Time Power But Demands Perpetual Subsidies
Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless
Weather-dependent wind power has no inherent commercial value, simply because it can't be delivered as and when it’s needed. The only “value” is the massive and endless subsidies that it attracts. The graph above depicts the output for the month of March, from every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid, with a total notional … Continue reading Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless
Want To Wreck A Power Grid? Add Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse battled over whether America would run on DC or AC power, but they never had to battle with the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar. Celebrated in the recently released film, The Current War, Westinghouse and Edison fought a pitched battle over technology, patents, media approval and the support of … Continue reading Want To Wreck A Power Grid? Add Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
