The wind industry treats natural meteorological phenomenon - like calm weather - as a grand conspiracy. They’ve even coined their very own curse, calling such lengthy events “wind droughts”. Wind and solar-dependent Germans call gloomy, windless weather ‘dunkelflaute’. Wild claims being smashed by nature is a common feature of earthly hubris. Icarus learnt the hard … Continue reading Broken Dreams: Constant Calm Weather Wiping Out Britain’s Wind Industry

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really Means Burning Way More Gas
Before ideologues launched their grand wind and solar 'transition', gas was rarely used to generate power if coal, nuclear or hydro sources were available. Gas-fired electricity, in the main, was simply too expensive, by comparison with coal-fired power. Coal-fired generators are designed to run around-the-clock. Wind turbines and solar panels only run according to the … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really Means Burning Way More Gas
Grand Lunacy: New York Shut Down Nuclear Plants & Wrecked Its Power Supply
New York State is another place where wind and solar-obsessed lunatics have seized control of energy policy. The notional objective was to reduce carbon oxide gas emissions using nothing more than sunshine and breezes. Ever-reliable nuclear power (which does not generate CO2 during the generation process) is deemed a mortal threat to the ideologues’ utopian … Continue reading Grand Lunacy: New York Shut Down Nuclear Plants & Wrecked Its Power Supply
Plains Justice: Judge Orders Entire (84 Turbine) Wind Farm Be Removed From Osage Land
After a 12-year battle, America’s Osage defeated an Italian wind power outfit, with a court ordering the removal of 84 turbines illegally speared into their tribal lands. Riding roughshod over the rights of indigenous peoples and desecrating their sacred land is all in a day’s work for the wind industry. At places like the Bald … Continue reading Plains Justice: Judge Orders Entire (84 Turbine) Wind Farm Be Removed From Osage Land
Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities
The wind industry manages to spread poverty and misery wherever it goes. Power prices inevitably rocket - wrecking businesses and whole industries. Adding to the economic suffering, once peaceful and prosperous rural communities are treated as road-kill. Eco-zealots have attempted to ram wind and solar power down the throats of Third World governments under the … Continue reading Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities
Floating Wrecks: Perpetually Failing Siemens Offshore Wind Turbines Practically Uninsurable
The wind industry’s sudden implosion saw Siemens suffer a €5.8 billion ($6.3 billion) market value write-down in a single day in June, followed by another 40% write-down in October - slashing a further €3 billion ($3.16 billion) off its market value, following revelations by Siemens that it was demanding billions in government-backed guarantees from the … Continue reading Floating Wrecks: Perpetually Failing Siemens Offshore Wind Turbines Practically Uninsurable
Renewables Targets Scrapped: Britain Joins French Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
The French are just the latest European power to ditch ludicrous wind and solar generation targets in favour of nuclear power. And Britain is lining up to do much the same. Both have adopted net zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets, and the only way of meeting them is safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. … Continue reading Renewables Targets Scrapped: Britain Joins French Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth
Coal, then oil and gas, have driven the mechanization and industrialisation responsible for lifting billions out of agrarian poverty, and all in the space of little more than a century. As a band of miserable misanthropes would have it, oil, coal and gas are an unadulterated evil to be driven back to the earthly depths … Continue reading Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth
Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing
You’ll own nothing and be happy, and you’ll feel pure bliss, freezing or boiling in the dark. Well, that’s what the wind and solar transition mob would have you believe. However, the likelihood of feeling happy or grateful living in a world without reliable and affordable power is pretty low. Electricity is one of those … Continue reading Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing
