Let renewable energy zealots and other such ideologues anywhere near your power system and prepare for deadly chaos. Wind and solar ‘powered’ South Australians know what it is to do without power for days on end. Having experienced plenty of load shedding lasting for 5 hours or more, South Australians got a real taste of … Continue reading Wind Power Chaos Reigns: Scots Build Diesel Generators & Brace For Week-Long Blackouts

No Contest: Wind Power Can’t Compete With Coal-Fired Power On Cost, Or At All
The well-chewed ‘chestnut, about wind power being cheaper than coal or gas-fired power is a nonsense. Then there's the fiction that wind power is actually ‘competing’ with conventional generation sources. ‘Competition’, in the wind industry’s eyes, is a pretty fluid concept: for most of life’s endeavours, it means a head-to-head race between all competitors, starting at … Continue reading No Contest: Wind Power Can’t Compete With Coal-Fired Power On Cost, Or At All
Run Aground: Intermittent Offshore Wind Power Costs 25 Times More Than Ever-Reliable Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Wind power is a pointless nonsense: 100% of its capacity must be backed up 100% of the time with a meaningful, conventional generation source: coal, gas, hydro or nuclear. That grouping never needs ‘backup’, ‘firming’, batteries or prayers to the Wind Gods and such like; they just work, whatever the weather, 24 x 365. Whereas, … Continue reading Run Aground: Intermittent Offshore Wind Power Costs 25 Times More Than Ever-Reliable Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Climate Con-Job: You Know It’s a Ponzi Scheme When Pure Fantasy Has a Colossal Price
The wind industry is just the latest and largest in a long line of great Ponzi schemes, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind industry, the scam is all about pitching bogus projected returns (based on overblown wind “forecasts”) (see our posts here and here and here and here); claiming that wind turbines will run for 25 years, without the need … Continue reading Climate Con-Job: You Know It’s a Ponzi Scheme When Pure Fantasy Has a Colossal Price

Indiana Insanity: Power Prices Set to Rocket with Grand Wind & Solar Power Push
Renewable energy ‘champion’ South Australia blew up its last coal-fired power plant last year and now suffers the world’s highest power prices, mass load shedding and blackouts. In a case of déjà vu all over again, the Hoosier state, Indiana wants to follow SA’s idiotic example. Those behind it have no hesitation in turning … Continue reading Indiana Insanity: Power Prices Set to Rocket with Grand Wind & Solar Power Push
Global Conspiracy: Climate Alarmists Predict Dismal Future for Wind Power as ‘The ‘Big Calm’ Looms
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe a modern economy can be powered by the weather. While weather forecasters struggle to get their daily predictions to match reality any more than 7 days in advance, climate warriors have no reticence in predicting the temperature 30 years from now. As American baseball and pop … Continue reading Global Conspiracy: Climate Alarmists Predict Dismal Future for Wind Power as ‘The ‘Big Calm’ Looms
Dead End Power Trip: Land Hungry Wind Power Always a Problem & Never a Solution
Wind power is a problem without a solution. Output collapses when breezes turn to zephyrs and when bluster turns to a gale: wind turbines automatically shut off as wind speeds reach 25 m/s (90km/h, 55mp/h or 48 knots). As South Australians found out on 28 September 2016 - when the whole State went black, … Continue reading Dead End Power Trip: Land Hungry Wind Power Always a Problem & Never a Solution
Industrialised Murder: Indian Study Shows Wind Turbines Slaughter 75% of Local Raptors
One issue that annoys RE zealots, like a burr under a frisky pony’s saddle blanket, is the wind industry's rampant bird and bat slaughter. It’s an inconvenient truth to be sure. But, as with everything that the wind industry does, if you can’t keep a straight face while lying about it any more, then … Continue reading Industrialised Murder: Indian Study Shows Wind Turbines Slaughter 75% of Local Raptors
Collateral Damage: Poor Biggest Victims of Britain’s Insane Climate & Energy Policies
As a bitter British winter bites, spare a thought for its poor and vulnerable who can’t afford power, thanks to its suicidal energy policies. Principal amongst those policies is the Climate Change Act. 10 years on, Britain is counting the cost of the CCA: it’s staggering and it’s the poor that suffer most. The Climate … Continue reading Collateral Damage: Poor Biggest Victims of Britain’s Insane Climate & Energy Policies
