The inability to control wind and solar output is the very definition of chaos. Domestic solar panels reach their maximum output around noon. At midnight, not so much. Call it all or nothing. Dealing with the noonday surge has become the bane of grid managers and the grand disruptor of once orderly power markets. The … Continue reading Electrical Sewage: Power Grid Slugs Householders For Costs of Managing Daily Solar Surge

Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
The land area destroyed to house a couple of wind turbines (often in pristine forests) compares unfavourably with the area needed to house a single nuclear power plant. See above - the area gouged out of one of Queensland’s (previously untouched) tropical rainforests to allow space for just two of these things - huge strips … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Tree Wipeout Hits New Low With Plans to Destroy Veterans’ Memorial
New-Age Nuclear: Perfect Answer to Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Chaos
Nuclear is the order that will inevitably spring from the wind and solar chaos being played out across the West. Every country that’s dialled into the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering rocketing power prices and weather-related power rationing. Once weather-dependent wind and sunshine and weather-dependent solar exceed more than about 20% of a … Continue reading New-Age Nuclear: Perfect Answer to Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Chaos
Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Rent-seekers and the wind and sun cult who run with them are in a flat panic as they realise that their game is up. Mouthing off about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was always going to come unstuck. Reality has a tendency of biting back. Every calm night (ie … Continue reading Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: he loves industrial wind power and couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction it causes. Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by cats, cars and skyscrapers. Ignoring … Continue reading Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Poverty Trap: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers (Perfectly Avoidable) Economic Disaster
The staggering cost of carpeting the countryside with forests of wind turbines and seas of solar panels are ultimately borne by you: the unwitting taxpayer and power consumer. There is no commercial value in wind and solar power because there is no demand for electricity that can’t be delivered as and when consumers need it. … Continue reading Poverty Trap: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers (Perfectly Avoidable) Economic Disaster
‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam: Renewables Rent-Seekers’ Latest Wealth Transfer Effort
At the end of every massive wind and solar subsidy rainbow, you’ll find a rent-seeking, crony capitalist salivating at the opportunity to cash in, at your expense. 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 … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam: Renewables Rent-Seekers’ Latest Wealth Transfer Effort
Faking It: Why ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Claims Never Stack Up
Like any ideological cult, wind and solar acolytes bury troublesome facts and replace them with oodles of helpful fiction. Start with the supposed cost of the electricity occasionally generated by wind turbines and solar panels. The usual trick is to invent some model said to capture the unique benefits of running on sunshine and breezes. … Continue reading Faking It: Why ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Claims Never Stack Up
Propaganda Flip: Renewables Cult Claim They Never Said Wind & Solar Would Be Cheap
The wind and solar industries are struggling to win the hearts and minds of householders and businesses being belted by skyrocketing power prices. Built on lies and run on subsidies, it comes as no surprise that the truth about heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar would eventually work its way to the surface. … Continue reading Propaganda Flip: Renewables Cult Claim They Never Said Wind & Solar Would Be Cheap
Shredded: Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Economy-Crushing Power Prices
Subsidised wind and solar are driving power prices into orbit and whole industries into bankruptcy around the globe. Australia, is no exception. When wind and solar acolytes start talking about ‘cheap renewables’ powering a manufacturing renaissance you know you really are dealing with a deranged cult. Heading up the cult in Australia is the PM, … Continue reading Shredded: Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Economy-Crushing Power Prices
