Logic and reason don’t register with the wind and sun cult, nor does empathy or compassion. Happy to wreck your community by carpeting it with an endless sea of solar panels and spearing hundreds of bird-munching monsters into your backyard, it’s all care and no responsibility for these characters. Overlooking the real environmental destruction caused … Continue reading No Sense/No Shame: Grand ‘Green’ Energy Transition Built On Gross Hypocrisy

Ever Escalating Price of Wind & Solar: The More You Have, The More You Pay
Incapable of increasing their output to match an increase in demand, wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources. No, for every single MW of wind and solar capacity there has to be another MW of reliable, dispatchable power generation somewhere else, connected to the grid, and ready to deliver the goods, … Continue reading Ever Escalating Price of Wind & Solar: The More You Have, The More You Pay
Hide & Seek: Exposing The (Colossal) Hidden Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
The wind industry can never keep its story straight. One minute it’s cheap and competitive, the next its screaming for more subsidies, because it can’t compete. Claims about wind power generation costs falling are immediately undone when rent seekers (once again) pass round the begging bowl and badger governments for more soft loans, renewable energy … Continue reading Hide & Seek: Exposing The (Colossal) Hidden Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
It only takes eighth grade mathematics and a little logic to work out that there will never be any grand transition to an all wind and sun-powered future - it’s an impossible dream, to top them all. As Leen Weijers explains below, the fact that this is even a subject for discussion is based on … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
Get Serious: Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas, Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power
Anyone still banging on about CO2 emissions in the electricity generation sector, ought to be banging on about nothing other than nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. Perversely, Australia is the only G20 Country to a place to … Continue reading Get Serious: Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas, Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power
Wind & Solar Power: Always & Everywhere Totally Unreliable & Insanely Expensive
The wind and sun might be free, but the true and total cost of wind and solar power is truly astronomical. Every country that’s hitched its wagon to the subsidised wind and solar scam has seen retail power prices rocket; with no single exception. Francis Menton has been trawling through the evidence for some time … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power: Always & Everywhere Totally Unreliable & Insanely Expensive
Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Wind and solar have justly earned the tag ‘unreliables’: sunset and calm weather are inevitable, whereas the so-called ‘inevitable renewable energy transition’, is anything but. The Germans call it ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather and a total collapse in output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar … Continue reading Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Some Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Britain’s Coal-Fired Plants Only Thing Preventing Total Blackouts
Depend on the weather for your power needs, then get ready for plenty of routine disappointment. Time and time again, Britain’s coal-fired power plants are called in to prevent total blackouts during calm and cloudy weather, of the kind that causes total collapses in wind and solar output. Notwithstanding efforts to drive them out of … Continue reading Some Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Britain’s Coal-Fired Plants Only Thing Preventing Total Blackouts
400,000 Americans Join Effort to Kill Offshore Wind Industry & Save Endangered Whales
America’s offshore wind industry has an almighty whale of a problem. Sensible folk are no longer enamoured of an industry that is 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 … Continue reading 400,000 Americans Join Effort to Kill Offshore Wind Industry & Save Endangered Whales
Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos
Blowing up coal-fired power plants comes with a staggering price tag and Australia’s power consumers are paying it, with another round of 20-30% increases in retail power prices only a couple of months away. And that crushing blow sits on top of the routine annual double-digit increases, they’ve been suffering over the last decade. With … Continue reading Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos
