Chaotically intermittent wind and solar are at the heart of surging retail power bills. As wind and solar generation capacity increases, so do power prices. Call it an ‘immutable law’. No country that’s made any serious commitment to 'transitioning' to the ‘unreliables’ has seen power prices fall. No, the evidence is all the other way … Continue reading Night-Time & Calm Weather: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Driving Power Prices Into Orbit

Growing Up: Australia’s Nuclear Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
Nuclear power is the obvious choice for naval submariners keen on speed, reliability and stealth. Which is why Australia has just signed up to join the big boys with a fleet of its very own nuclear-powered submarines. While there might be plenty to debate about the terms of that deal, one thing is crystal clear: … Continue reading Growing Up: Australia’s Nuclear Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
In another, ‘we told you so’ moment, retail power prices in Australia will jump by 20% to 30% in June, following annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was designed to wreck our conventional coal-fired power … Continue reading Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
‘Green’ Energy Slaughter: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Puffins, Gulls, Gannets & More
The bird carcasses soon pile up wherever the wind industry plies its subsidy-soaked trade. When it comes to wholesale avian slaughter, the offshore industry sets the benchmark. Offshore wind is already meting out a phenomenal death toll on a whole range of seabirds in the waters surrounding Britain and across the North Sea. Puffins are … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Slaughter: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Puffins, Gulls, Gannets & More
Empty Promise: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Fix Wind & Solar’s Natural Unreliability
The truly deluded reckon that by adding a few giant lithium-ion batteries we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Those that (often grudgingly) concede wind and solar’s weather-driven (ie perfectly natural) unreliability, claim that storing wind and solar power when the sun’s up and the wind is blowing, just right, and releasing … Continue reading Empty Promise: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Fix Wind & Solar’s Natural Unreliability
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Forces Poor to Transfer Their (Meagre) Wealth to the (Already) Wealthy
The grand wind and solar scam was designed so a few get to profit outrageously at the expense of the many - and they’re called ‘rent seekers’ for good reason: Rent-seeking is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity. An example of rent-seeking is … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Forces Poor to Transfer Their (Meagre) Wealth to the (Already) Wealthy
Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
After 30 years and plenty of talk about being ‘competitive’ with coal, gas and nuclear, wind and solar are still being treated like untamable toddlers. The subsidies they begged for in the beginning were meant to help so-called ‘infant’ industries get on their feet. But, even now, the mere mention of reducing subsidies turns them … Continue reading Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Our power grids were working just fine, until unreliable, intermittent and diffuse wind and solar turned up. Insanely costly in any event, now we’re told that our ‘inevitable transition’ will cost $trillions more, with the additional cost that comes with hooking up thousands more wind turbines and millions more solar panels, spread far and wide. … Continue reading Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Industrial scale wind and solar are world leaders when it comes to wrecking communities and destroying the environment. Heavily subsidized, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human … Continue reading Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies
Never stand between rent seekers and a fat pile of taxpayers’ money. The wind and solar industries were built on lies and myth, but they can only survive when there's a steady stream of massive and endless subsidies. Cut the subsidies and rent seekers disappear in a heartbeat. BP was once the head of the … Continue reading Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies
