While Western elites obsess about carbon dioxide gas, the rest of the world is screaming out for affordable energy. Ignoring those perfectly rational pleas, a cabal of pontificating windbags are hellbent on preventing any real development in the poorest parts of the planet - Africa included. Their weapon of choice is forcing chaotically intermittent and … Continue reading Africa Embraces Energy Freedom By Rejecting Net-Zero CO2 Madness

Simply Shameless: ‘Green’ Energy ‘Transition’ Depends On Brutalizing Child Labour
The Western virtue signaller is untroubled by the myriad human rights abuses committed in their name. Firing up a Tesla in fashionable and leafy suburbs doesn’t connect them with the brutal conditions suffered by child labour in places like the Democratic Republic Congo where cobalt is being dug out of the ground by thousands of … Continue reading Simply Shameless: ‘Green’ Energy ‘Transition’ Depends On Brutalizing Child Labour
South Africa’s Dark Age: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivering Blackouts Every Single Day
Trashing coal-fired power plants and pretending to replace their output with wind and solar guarantees blackouts and mass load shedding. For the uninitiated, it’s all about sunset and the weather. South Africa is a case in point. In little more than a decade, the ANC’s policy of backing wind turbines and solar panels with taxpayer … Continue reading South Africa’s Dark Age: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivering Blackouts Every Single Day
COP27 That!: African Leaders Reject ‘Renewables Reset’ & Press For Fossil-Fuelled Future
Once again, well-fed cynical Western elites are berating developing countries about their energy use, hoping to prevent them from using the very sources that drove the Industrial Revolution and dragged millions of Europeans out of agrarian poverty, two centuries ago. Pontificating windbags are railing against the prospect of real development in the poorer parts of … Continue reading COP27 That!: African Leaders Reject ‘Renewables Reset’ & Press For Fossil-Fuelled Future
Renewables Rejected: World’s Poorest Crave Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Eco-zealots ram wind and solar power down the throats of Third World governments, purporting to save the planet and drag millions out of poverty. But it never takes their targets long to work out that wind and solar power are both insanely expensive and hopelessly unreliable; sitting in the dark, night after night, generally does … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: World’s Poorest Crave Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Lights Out: South Africa’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers New Dark Age
Pin your energy hopes on the weather and you’d better have candles and torches at the ready. Reliable and affordable electricity supplies are the cornerstone of economic development, around the globe. And, whereas, until recently at least, the wealthy West has tended to take 24 x 365 power for granted, developing economies are not so … Continue reading Lights Out: South Africa’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers New Dark Age
Russian Resurgence: Putin’s Grand Plan to Meet Insatiable Demand for Coal in Asia
As the wind and solar cult would have it, ‘coal is dead’ and wind and solar power are the gloating villains that killed it. Well, that’s the meme, anyway. Back on Earth, coal-fired power and the coal industry that fuels it are in very robust health, indeed. Outside of the virtue signalling Western nations that … Continue reading Russian Resurgence: Putin’s Grand Plan to Meet Insatiable Demand for Coal in Asia
Jumbo Noise Problem: Africa’s Elephants Hate Thumping Droning Wind Turbine Noise
Thumping, grinding wind turbine noise has always been the elephant in the room for the wind industry. Now, it’s the elephants themselves who’ve signalled just how annoying low-frequency wind turbine noise is. Renowned for their acutely sensitive hearing in the lower frequency register, the long-distance communication between Africa’s elephants is being drowned out by an … Continue reading Jumbo Noise Problem: Africa’s Elephants Hate Thumping Droning Wind Turbine Noise
Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Sending South Africa’s Power Prices Into Orbit
Rocketing power prices and grid instability are two inescapable consequences of subsidised wind and solar. While sunshine and breezes might be free, attempting to run your power system using nature’s gifts, brings with it a raft of other costs which RE zealots tend to gloss over. The electricity generation and distribution system - which wind … Continue reading Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Sending South Africa’s Power Prices Into Orbit
Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
There’s something altogether cynical about well-healed nations forcing the impoverished to embrace expensive and unreliable wind and solar. It is, of course, all done in the name of ‘saving the planet’. [Note to Ed: Not to mention saving the manufacturers of industrial wind turbines and solar panels, who are struggling back home]. As any economist … Continue reading Hearts of Darkness: Richest Nations Push Unreliable Renewables to Keep Africans Forever Poor
