Germans are learning the truth about chaotically intermittent wind and solar, the hard way. Their erstwhile supplier is making the depth of their dependence on Russian gas keenly felt as he maintains his efforts to subjugate Ukraine and get Ukraine’s Western backers to back off. Across Europe, rushes recent squeeze on gas supplies has focused … Continue reading Poor Punishment: Energy Poverty Inevitable Result of Renewable Energy ‘Transition’

Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will
In the absence of mandates directing grid managers to take chaotic wind or solar power ahead of conventional power and/or massive subsidies directed to retailers encouraging them to take it and/or heavy fines imposed on them if they refuse to, there is simply no commercial market for power which can only be generated occasionally, in … Continue reading Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will
Power Shock: Renewables Meltdown Leaves Australians With Power Shortages & Crippling Power Bills
The erratic and occasional delivery of wind and solar has sent wholesale power prices into orbit and major energy users are simply being chopped from the grid when wind and/or solar output hits the floor. Consumers have just been hit with retail power bills which are between 20 and 30% higher than the same time last … Continue reading Power Shock: Renewables Meltdown Leaves Australians With Power Shortages & Crippling Power Bills
All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
Calm weather and sunset mean that wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. And mythical grid-scale electricity storage won’t save them, either. Never to be defeated by facts, reason and logic, wind and solar acolytes are quick to point to a rare occasion when their combined output is equal to, or greater … Continue reading All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
Skyrocketing Power Prices & Power Rationing: Germany First To Hit The Wind & Solar Wall
Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply disaster thanks to the world’s most idiotic energy policy, centred on an unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, consumers are bracing for even worse to come. Vladimir Putin’s Ukrainian adventure has merely brought things to a … Continue reading Skyrocketing Power Prices & Power Rationing: Germany First To Hit The Wind & Solar Wall
French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
Nuclear power generation is back with a vengeance for two reasons: the evident nonsense of relying upon sunshine and breezes for reliable power; and the political desire to reduce carbon oxide gas emissions. True it is that even Germany’s Greens have dropped their CO2 emission reduction ambitions, but here in Australia the suicidal desire to … Continue reading French Method: China & Japan Follow French Lead On Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance
Why Solar Power Can’t Meet Net Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets
Net-zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are driven by climate alarmists and renewable energy rent seekers, eager to profit from the expansion of the great wind and solar subsidy scam. This band of profiteers and charlatans rely upon the notion that wind turbines and solar panels are the only means of reducing carbon dioxide gas emissions … Continue reading Why Solar Power Can’t Meet Net Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets
Why Big Batteries Can’t Cure Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
Politicos and the MSM are wedded to the myth that mega-batteries are all we need to overcome the chaotic delivery of wind and solar. The addition of which, we are told, is both imminent and cost-free. No country on earth has been able to crack the cost-effective grid-scale storage electricity. The laws of physics are … Continue reading Why Big Batteries Can’t Cure Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
‘Green’ Energy Myth Exposed: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Built On Perpetual Lies
The wind and solar industries were founded on myth, built on lies and run on subsidies. The only thing they are capable of producing on a consistent basis are Pinocchio-style whoppers, starting with the notion that wind and solar power are actually good for the environment. Breached promises about delivering power on demand are met … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Myth Exposed: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Built On Perpetual Lies
Promises, Promises: Wind Industry Insiders Moan About Mass Layoffs & Even Larger Losses
In the absence of massive subsidies, there would be no wind or solar ‘industries’, so-called. So, it should come as no surprise that the jobs “created” in association with those industries are an easy come, easy go, kind of affair. The promise of thousands of jobs building wind turbines and solar panels is a renewable energy … Continue reading Promises, Promises: Wind Industry Insiders Moan About Mass Layoffs & Even Larger Losses
