Renewables Reckoning: Closing Australia’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Grid Collapse

Thanks to an obsessional reliance on wind and solar, Australia’s power grid has all the structural integrity of a house of cards. Based on the delusion that weather-dependent wind and weather and sunshine-dependent solar can actually replace coal-fired power, Australia’s energy policy is deliberately designed to wipe out coal-fired power plants, once and for all. … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Closing Australia’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Grid Collapse

Renewables Cult Accuse Weather of Conspiring Against Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Ideologues are quick to find a conspiracy, whenever their pet belief ultimately fails. So it is with the renewables cult - accusing mother nature of dishing up “dark doldrums”, or “dunkelflaute” (as the Germans call it) - with seemingly increasing regularity. Cloudy, calm weather is seen as a curse, and the lengthy absence of suitably … Continue reading Renewables Cult Accuse Weather of Conspiring Against Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Why 100% Wind & Solar 100% Guarantees Blackouts and Rocketing Power Prices

No civilised country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar; no country ever will. And yet the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ - being peddled by rent-seekers and crony capitalists - is still taken as an article of faith by the naïve and gullible. What is evident is the direct and unassailable relationship … Continue reading Why 100% Wind & Solar 100% Guarantees Blackouts and Rocketing Power Prices

Why Naturally Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear

Europeans with any sense have woken up to the fact that the much-touted wind and solar ‘transition’ is a cruel hoax driven by cynical crony capitalists and their political enablers. Driven by starry-eyed ideology, rather than sound engineering and economics, the great ‘green’ reset fell apart because households, businesses and industries aren’t prepared to limit … Continue reading Why Naturally Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear

Forget About Intermittent Wind & Solar If You Want Power As And When You Need It

As immutable laws, solar output collapses when the sun sets and wind power output collapses when calm weather sets in (and when wind speeds hit gale force and turbines automatically shut down). No amount of spin doctoring, varnishing or linguistic invention can undo them. Rafe Champion builds on those laws with his ‘iron triangle of … Continue reading Forget About Intermittent Wind & Solar If You Want Power As And When You Need It

Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure

Germans were said to be rock-solid supporters of the grand ‘plan’ to run on nothing but wind and solar. Well, not anymore. Faced with Europe’s highest power prices (which are still rising at a staggering clip), routine power rationing and blackouts, the German populous seems to have fallen out of love with the notion of … Continue reading Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure

Woke-Washing Hypocrites Demand Endless Taxpayer Subsidies For ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam

Using other people’s to offload personal guilt is hardly virtuous, but the wind and solar scam has attracted plenty of guilt-laden oligarchs looking to atone for their (often obscene) wealth doing just that - and using taxpayer-backed subsidies to conjure up all manner of new ‘green’ scams, like ‘green’ hydrogen. Australia’s Twiggy Forrest, is just … Continue reading Woke-Washing Hypocrites Demand Endless Taxpayer Subsidies For ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam

Straight to Plan ‘D’: All Wind & Solar Net Zero Target Spells ‘D’ for Daily Disaster

Hubris is what drives wild claims that we can run on nothing but wind and solar; a case of bullish arrogance outdoing starry-eyed ambition. Net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions target are all the rage. And, so rent-seeking crony capitalists tell us, the only way of satisfying those targets is by going all in with wind … Continue reading Straight to Plan ‘D’: All Wind & Solar Net Zero Target Spells ‘D’ for Daily Disaster

Zero Sum Game: Industrial Wind & Solar Destroying the Environment to ‘Save the Planet’

Environmentalists were once known as ‘tree huggers’. Now, a new ‘green’ cult clear-fells them to make way for hundreds of wind turbines or seas of solar panels. Germany’s Black Forest has been overrun, with chainsaws, bulldozers and blazing torches paving the way for our so-called ‘green’ energy transition. And hundreds of ancient oaks in its thousand-year-old Fairytale … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Industrial Wind & Solar Destroying the Environment to ‘Save the Planet’

Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught

Half-a-million Americans are furious at the offshore wind industry for killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins – aka the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. Hundreds of thousands of civic-minded folk are justifiably … Continue reading Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught
