Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value. Indeed, when the gales rip across the Scottish Highlands and there’s a surfeit of wind power generated, that electricity can’t even be given away. Instead, taxpayers become the ‘buyers’ of last resort; not that they could never be called willing purchasers, … Continue reading Scottish Scandal: Government Squanders £600 Million on ‘Constraint Payments’ to Wind Power Outfits for Discarded Power

No Deal: New ‘Green’ Deal Means Return to the Impoverished Dark Ages
There’s something amusing about watching well-fed, first world teenagers hit the streets to rail about fossil fuels, just before mummy collects them in a stonking V8 Land Cruiser, whisking them away to their perfectly air-conditioned homes, jampacked with every electronic gadget, imaginable. The louder and more earnest their demands for an end to the use … Continue reading No Deal: New ‘Green’ Deal Means Return to the Impoverished Dark Ages
Texan Turmoil: True & Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Kept Hidden From Power Consumers
The hidden cost of attempting to rely upon sunshine and breezes is truly staggering, ask a German, Dane or South Australian about the power prices they suffer. They’re the world’s highest, by the way. And all three of them compete for bragging rights about which of them has the greatest proportion of renewables in the … Continue reading Texan Turmoil: True & Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Kept Hidden From Power Consumers
French Devolution: China Embraces Reliable & Affordable Nuclear as France Lets It Slide
Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Whereas, France’s heavy reliance on reliable and affordable nuclear means that the French enjoy power prices a mere fraction of those suffered … Continue reading French Devolution: China Embraces Reliable & Affordable Nuclear as France Lets It Slide
Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats
Wiping out entire forest habitats is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition to a wind powered future. Across Germany, millions of acres of forest have been clear-felled and great swathes cut through others, to allow some 29,000 of these things to be speared across Deutschland. The same is happening in the Green Mountain State, … Continue reading Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats
Hide & Seek: Market Distorting Subsidies Conceal True & Staggering Cost of Renewables
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value; in the absence of massive subsidies, there’d be no market at all for intermittent wind and solar. As soon as the subsidies to wind and solar get cut, the ‘investment’ in new capacity evaporates, entirely. But it’s those subsidies that distort … Continue reading Hide & Seek: Market Distorting Subsidies Conceal True & Staggering Cost of Renewables
Billion Dollar Boondoggle: Plans to Take Canada’s Wind Power Disaster West to Alberta
Canada’s wind power obsession has seen Ontario’s fertile farmland turned into an industrial wasteland. It’s been a disaster, for all concerned: power prices have rocketed, energy dependent industries are being crushed and Ontario’s farming families have had to deal with toxic groundwater, contaminated by wind turbine construction. Countless hundreds have abandoned their homes and hundreds … Continue reading Billion Dollar Boondoggle: Plans to Take Canada’s Wind Power Disaster West to Alberta
Canadian Club: Wind Industry Furious: Ontario Rips Up 750 Wind Power Contracts
Proving, yet again, that without punitive mandates, ludicrous targets and massive subsidies the wind industry would disappear in a heartbeat, the decision to cancel hundreds of government contracts with wind power developers in Ontario has left rent seekers furious, and wondering where their next meal might come from? Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford couldn’t conceal his … Continue reading Canadian Club: Wind Industry Furious: Ontario Rips Up 750 Wind Power Contracts
Bat Battle: Native Hawaiians Go to War with Wind Industry to Save Threatened Bat Species
Native Hawaiians, furious at the wind industry’s rampant bat slaughter, have gone to war to prevent another environmental nightmare from destroying their beloved bats and sacred homeland. So far, over 130 of them have been arrested for doing no more than taking a real interest in their environment. What’s at stake is the survival of … Continue reading Bat Battle: Native Hawaiians Go to War with Wind Industry to Save Threatened Bat Species
Wind Power Investment Collapses as Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Total Armageddon
Once a world 'leader', Germany’s wind industry is on the brink of total collapse; new construction has ceased, and bankrupt turbine makers are sacking thousands of workers. Limit your worldview to the mainstream press and you’d be forgiven for thinking Germany is well on its way to an all wind and sun powered future, and … Continue reading Wind Power Investment Collapses as Germany’s Wind Industry Faces Total Armageddon
