‘Support’ for subsidised wind and solar exists because Joe Public has absolutely no idea how power is generated or what it actually costs. In that respect, you’ve got to hand it to renewable energy rent seekers and their various propaganda wings: they’ve done a sterling job in taking a series of lies and myths and … Continue reading Blame Games: Public Being Played for Fools About Surging Power Prices by Wind & Solar Lobby

Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia
South Australia is renowned for the world’s highest power prices and mass blackouts, thanks to its risible ‘reliance’ on sunshine and breezes. In Australia’s RE capital, sunset and massive, sudden and unpredictable collapses in wind power output not only result in mass load shedding (controlled blackouts), but send spot prices for power into the … Continue reading Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia
America Pushes Nuclear Option: President Launches Plan for Advanced Nuclear Plants
America truly is exceptional: while plenty of Western democracies are still piling into subsidised wind and solar, the USA is getting out. Prior to the election of Donald J Trump, the US was on an economy wrecking trajectory, set by renewable energy rent seekers and the eco-zealots that champion their cause: numerous American states, not … Continue reading America Pushes Nuclear Option: President Launches Plan for Advanced Nuclear Plants
Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Puts Power Out of Reach for America’s Working Poor

Renewables Reckoning: German Business Being Throttled by Rocketing Power Prices
There’s something uncanny about the relationship between rocketing power prices and renewable energy: ask a German, Dane or South Australian. The consequences of Germany’s obsession with sunshine and breezes are starting to hit home, with a vengeance.

Wind Power’s Total Wipe-out: Study Shows Bats Perish or Vanish Wherever Wind Turbines Go Up
Wind and sun worshipping eco-zealots don’t hold a monopoly on hypocrisy, but come very close. As nasty as they are sanctimonious, the more active and vociferous members of the wind cult have no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste lands in China (where the … Continue reading Wind Power’s Total Wipe-out: Study Shows Bats Perish or Vanish Wherever Wind Turbines Go Up
Sudden Wind Change: Wind Industry Wilts as Ontario Scraps ‘Green’ Energy Act
Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne simultaneously destroyed her political fortunes, as she set about destroying one of Canada’s most productive provinces. A raft of policies drawn up by Wynne and her fellow eco-zealots, all safely ensconced in Toronto, resulted in thousands of these things being speared right across Ontario. Furious communities and rocketing power prices are the … Continue reading Sudden Wind Change: Wind Industry Wilts as Ontario Scraps ‘Green’ Energy Act
Full-Steam Ahead: China & Japan Snub Intermittent Wind & Solar to Build Hundreds of New-Age Coal-Fired Plants
One hackneyed myth propounded by RE zealots is that China is well on its way to an all wind and sun powered future. The reality differs. Instead of worshipping nature’s wonder fuels, China is flat out building hundreds of high-efficiency, low-emissions coal-fired plant, in a concerted effort to drag itself out of the grinding agrarian … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: China & Japan Snub Intermittent Wind & Solar to Build Hundreds of New-Age Coal-Fired Plants

Wind Industry Myths Busted: Twenty-Five Reasons Why Intermittent Wind Power Fails
Wind power is a monumental failure: not just costly and chaotic, the claim that it amounts to a meaningful power source is pure nonsense. Notorious examples like South Australia, prove the point: this is the state that set and met its own 50% renewable energy target, became renowned as the wind power capital of Australia, … Continue reading Wind Industry Myths Busted: Twenty-Five Reasons Why Intermittent Wind Power Fails
