When the wind blows hard enough, the turbines will not only rock, they'll hit the deck with quite a thud - all 250 tonnes or so. And what a gale can do to 280m high turbines, a hail storm can do to seas of solar panels in a matter of minutes (see Charles Rotter's piece … Continue reading Laughable Lightweights: Wind & Solar Can’t Hold Their Own During ‘Extreme’ Weather

Arizona Prevents Economic Trainwreck By Scrapping Wind & Solar Subsidies & Mandates
Arizona, joins West Virginia and Montana in scrapping its mandated target for wind and solar power generation. Referred to as the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), its economic cost naturally outstrips any notional benefit (the only benefit being enjoyed is by wind and solar rent seekers). Finally, legislators are waking up to the scale and scope … Continue reading Arizona Prevents Economic Trainwreck By Scrapping Wind & Solar Subsidies & Mandates
Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
Generating occasional power in far-flung places means connecting wind turbines and solar panels, and that comes with a staggering additional cost. Costs that are totally avoidable and entirely unnecessary, when one considers that no one was short of power before the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ took off. In Australia, it’s reckoned that the current … Continue reading Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
New Nuclear Power Policy Kills Australia’s Wind & Solar Rollout
Rent seekers hoping to profit from the wind and solar scam are in meltdown, following the Liberal/National Coalition’s plan to take a nuclear power policy to the next Federal election. Wind and solar have no hope of surviving a meaningful, long-term nuclear power policy, and the wind and solar scammers know it. Nuclear power is … Continue reading New Nuclear Power Policy Kills Australia’s Wind & Solar Rollout
Mercenary Audacity: How Crony Capitalists Drive The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
The Climate Industrial Complex is the perfect playground for billionaire crony capitalists: obscene guaranteed profits are underwritten by power consumers and taxpayers; all the risk is born by the same class of suckers; and weather-obsessed politicos are falling over themselves to engineer new and exciting ways of providing a malevolent elite with opportunities to separate … Continue reading Mercenary Audacity: How Crony Capitalists Drive The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
It’s like the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ suddenly lost its mojo. Wild claims and fanciful projections are giving way to a more sober reality. Demand for reliable and affordable energy, including electricity, continues to rise at rates that even the most ambitious wind and solar promoters can’t match. Soaring rhetoric is one thing, backing … Continue reading Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
Hostility Mounts: Rural Communities Ready to Explode Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Visit any rural community targeted for industrial wind turbines and solar panels and/or the transmission lines needed to support them, and the rage is truly palpable. Faced with hundreds of 280m high, 300 tonne turbines speared into pristine bush and prime farmland, seas of solar panels - that seemingly stretch to the horizon - and … Continue reading Hostility Mounts: Rural Communities Ready to Explode Against Wind & Solar Onslaught
Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has been covering up whale deaths for the wind industry for years. The government-aided subterfuge has been running ever since the wind industry started building and operating industrial wind turbines along America’s Atlantic coast of the USA. Everyone expects the wind industry to lie. Its existence depends upon … Continue reading Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
Want Perpetual Chaos & Grinding Energy Poverty: Dial Up Subsidised Wind & Solar
The wind and solar ‘transition’ has nothing to do with providing reliable and affordable power. It’s a wealth transfer from power consumers and taxpayers to rent seekers - driven by ideologues and enabled by politicos who wouldn’t know a kilowatt from their elbow. Australia’s Eastern Grid is a heartbeat away from total collapse. Once upon … Continue reading Want Perpetual Chaos & Grinding Energy Poverty: Dial Up Subsidised Wind & Solar
Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
As the sun sets on a calm afternoon, talk about a ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds delusional, because it is. The cult is driven by that very delusion, however. But those who have been dragged along for the ride are finally waking up to the fact that first world economies can’t run on sunshine and … Continue reading Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
