America’s energy policy has been captured by the same class of ideologues and rent seekers, that have destroyed reliable and affordable power supplies in Europe, Australia and elsewhere. So, it’s probably not entirely fair to attribute the blame to the bumbling Joe Biden. Struggling with signs of senile dementia, on occasions, Biden gives the appearance … Continue reading Man Without A Plan: Joe Biden’s Energy Policy is Utterly Incoherent and Totally Destructive

We are a group of citizens concerned about the rapid spread of industrial wind power generation installations across Australia.
World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
The hackneyed claim that wind and solar power are ‘clean’ and ‘green’ doesn’t stand first contact with reality. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent - after a decade or so … Continue reading World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
America & Canada Get Serious & Go Full-Steam Ahead With Nuclear Renaissance
Nuclear power’s timely renaissance is being led by Canada and the US, with plenty of others following suit. Any country that’s serious about reliable and affordable electricity is getting serious about nuclear power. Britain is crab-walking away from its offshore wind power disaster, with its government recently announcing plans to pump up nuclear power generation, … Continue reading America & Canada Get Serious & Go Full-Steam Ahead With Nuclear Renaissance
Snowy 2.NOTHING: Giant Pumped Hydro Scheme Becomes Costly & Pointless Disaster
Along with giant batteries and ‘green’ hydrogen, pumped hydro is touted as the solution to wind and solar power’s hopeless intermittency. Five years ago, Australia’s PM, Malcolm Turnbull pitched his very own mega-pumped hydro project, tagged Snowy 2.0. The numbering was meant to be a nod to computer program upgrades and signal an improvement on … Continue reading Snowy 2.NOTHING: Giant Pumped Hydro Scheme Becomes Costly & Pointless Disaster
Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
Australia’s energy crisis was perfectly predictable and perfectly avoidable. Just over 20 years ago, sound engineering gave way to delusional ideology, obsessed with the notion that wind and solar would provide all the power we could ever need. The rest, as they say, is history. Over time it’s getting harder to convince youngsters that Australia … Continue reading Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown
Destroying coal-fired power plants is all part of the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ and precisely the point of the subsidies to wind and solar which are designed to allow the unreliables to undercut cheap and reliable coal-fired power, thereby driving coal-fired plants out of business. The inevitable consequences include rocketing power prices and rolling … Continue reading Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown
Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
Long bursts of calm weather are no mystery to sailors and kite flyers, but the wind industry apparently never got the memo. Hence the type of indignation expressed when the wind fails to materialize - in its financial statements, Australian outfit, Infigen has repeatedly cursed the Wind Gods for its often-dismal profit results. The industry … Continue reading Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
Wind & Solar Don’t Cut It: Energy-Hungry World Demands Ever-Reliable 24 x 7 Nuclear Power
Civilised societies demand civilised power generation; not stuff delivered at the chaotic whims of mother nature. Untamed and untamable, wind and solar are simply incapable of delivering power as and when we need it - which is the starting point for every modern society. You’re reading this thanks to a modern phenomenon that rests on … Continue reading Wind & Solar Don’t Cut It: Energy-Hungry World Demands Ever-Reliable 24 x 7 Nuclear Power
Wind Industry’s Major Meltdown: In 2022 GE, Vestas & Siemens Energy Lost $4.6 Billion
In 2022, GE’s renewables division scorched $2 billion, Vestas vaporized $1.68 billion and Siemens Energy said goodbye to $943.48 million. It seems that it’s only the hope that governments might throw a few more taxpayer’s $billions in their direction that keeps these outfits hanging on. While that might have been a sensible tack to take … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Major Meltdown: In 2022 GE, Vestas & Siemens Energy Lost $4.6 Billion
South Africa’s Dark Age: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivering Blackouts Every Single Day
Trashing coal-fired power plants and pretending to replace their output with wind and solar guarantees blackouts and mass load shedding. For the uninitiated, it’s all about sunset and the weather. South Africa is a case in point. In little more than a decade, the ANC’s policy of backing wind turbines and solar panels with taxpayer … Continue reading South Africa’s Dark Age: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivering Blackouts Every Single Day
