‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked

Every good cult needs a mantra. For the anti-progress crowd, it’s the line that ‘green’ is good. However, in the way that Humpty Dumpy could make words mean anything he chose them to mean, ‘green’ has taken on a meaning all of its own. The same goes for the nonsense tag ‘renewable’; there’s nothing renewable … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked

SMR’s Big Future: Micro Reactors Offer Macro Solution to Wind & Solar Power Supply Chaos

For the future of small modular nuclear reactors, it pays to look to the present: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. The wind and solar cult, however, continue with the mantra that SMRs are a pipe dream, cooked up by conservative reactionaries, doggedly … Continue reading SMR’s Big Future: Micro Reactors Offer Macro Solution to Wind & Solar Power Supply Chaos

Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes

Germany’s so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ was in strife before Vlad Putin invaded Ukraine; post invasion, it’s a diabolical mess. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe's highest power prices; since Putin’s Ukrainian adventure began, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. In … Continue reading Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes

Industrial Degeneration: Crippling Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroying Our Economic Future

Thanks to the hidden and crippling cost of subsidised wind and solar, households and businesses are being hit with staggering bills, with prices at levels unimaginable, until recently. Double digit annual percentage increases are now the norm. As we reported yesterday, Brits are already suffering power prices more than double what they were 12 months … Continue reading Industrial Degeneration: Crippling Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroying Our Economic Future

Oh So ‘Cheap’!: Power Prices Set to Quadruple in Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Britain

The ultimate cost of renewable energy virtue signalling is truly crippling, wind and solar-obsessed Britain is a case in point. Power prices have doubled over the span of a few months and will quadruple as energy demand spikes again in winter. Attempting to ditch its coal-fired power plants (and converting them to run on wood … Continue reading Oh So ‘Cheap’!: Power Prices Set to Quadruple in Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Britain

After 40 Years Of Massive Subsidies Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Begging For More

Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was 39 years ago. Over that span of time, there has been no lack of … Continue reading After 40 Years Of Massive Subsidies Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Begging For More

Utopian Fantasyland: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Total Delusion Being Sold By Total Fools

The West’s obsession with the unreliables, wind and solar was guaranteed to end in tears - the weather-driven power rationing and rocketing power prices were as perfectly predictable, as they were perfectly avoidable. Every country that has hitched its energy future to sunshine and breezes is facing both a power pricing and supply calamity. Wind … Continue reading Utopian Fantasyland: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Total Delusion Being Sold By Total Fools

Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves

Goldilocks was evidently the brains behind the ‘engineering’ of wind and solar power, which only operate when conditions are “just right”. When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. Solar panels aren’t any more resilient. A … Continue reading Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves

Time to Ditch Meaningless Medieval Wind Power & Embrace Modern Nuclear Power

Wind power was abandoned centuries ago, for pretty obvious reasons, known to kite flyers and sailors, since the beginning of time. Sure, in medieval times, when there was no alternative, harnessing nature’s energy make sense. But not now. It was coal that dragged Europe out of the Dark Ages, by providing around-the-clock power, not windmills. … Continue reading Time to Ditch Meaningless Medieval Wind Power & Embrace Modern Nuclear Power

Cold Consequence: Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession Promises Very Bitter Winter Ahead

Germans are paying the price for their Green-Left government’s maniacal fixation on heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, with prices still on the ascendant, German bureaucrats have been reduced to rationing energy of all descriptions at the micro level, in a way not seen since its postwar … Continue reading Cold Consequence: Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession Promises Very Bitter Winter Ahead
