Australia’s prime agricultural land is being carpeted with endless seas of solar panels and thousands of these things are being speared everywhere the panels can’t go. Dilute and diffuse, wind and solar require a staggering amount of space, and way more than their occasional, weather (and/or sunshine) dependent power generation can ever hope to justify. … Continue reading Grand Land Grab: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Needs 70% of Australia’s Prime Farmland

Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Now they’re talking in $trillions, the mere $billions in wind and solar subsidies pocketed so far sounds like chump change. When we’re talking about subsidies to wind and solar, we are including all the thoroughly unnecessary associated costs, like new pumped-hydro schemes; giant lithium-ion batteries; additional fast-start peaking plants (either diesel or gas); and tens … Continue reading Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Planned Energy Armageddon: Net Zero CO2 Targets Designed by Delusional Maniacs
Setting targets about reducing the trivial amount of carbon oxide gas generated by humans is one thing, but asserting that wind and solar are the only way of doing so is positively bonkers. Assume for the moment that there is some point and purpose to net zero targets (a whopping assumption, for sure). Then the … Continue reading Planned Energy Armageddon: Net Zero CO2 Targets Designed by Delusional Maniacs
Safe, Ever-Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power Perfect Solution to Any Energy Crisis
The perpetrators of the West’s self-inflicted energy crisis are readily identified by their zealous promotion of subsidised wind and solar. Hiding in plain view, these characters become even more conspicuous when they start ranting about the (purportedly staggering) costs and (supposedly deadly) safety risks of nuclear power generation. The argument run by this crowd is powered … Continue reading Safe, Ever-Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power Perfect Solution to Any Energy Crisis
Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
Generating occasional power at the whims of mother nature means wind and solar have no hope in hell of ever competing with ever-reliable nuclear power. In power generation ‘competing’ means being always on, always available and affordable for all. Because wind generates power less than 30% of the time (on average) and solar generates power … Continue reading Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
China’s & India’s Coal-Fired Power Push Ignores West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Embrace
China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist. Their rapid economic development hinges on access to reliable and cheap power to industry. Meanwhile, the West maintains its positively suicidal obsession with subsidised wind and solar. Whereas China profits handsomely - selling millions of solar panels made by Uighur slaves and … Continue reading China’s & India’s Coal-Fired Power Push Ignores West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Embrace
Voters Reject Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ & Demand Immediate Nuclear Power Shift
As sandal-wearing lefty troglodytes drop off the perch, their tech-savvy replacements are as keen as mustard on safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. Whereas their mung bean eating grandparents railed for decades about the purported evils of nuclear power generation, their grandkids are all in. In a recent Newspoll the number of younger voters in … Continue reading Voters Reject Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ & Demand Immediate Nuclear Power Shift
Political Power Shift: More Voters Refuse to Swallow Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Lie
Opening a crushing power bill while sitting freezing (or boiling) in the dark focuses attention on the obvious and only cause: heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar. Delivered according to the whims of mother nature rather than the demands of human industry, activity and endeavour, wind and solar power were never going to … Continue reading Political Power Shift: More Voters Refuse to Swallow Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Lie
Brace For Blackouts: Wind & Solar Transition Promise Dimly Lit Misery
Routine power rationing (aka ‘demand management’) and statewide blackouts are the natural consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. There is not a single example, anywhere in the world, of a country or state that runs exclusively on wind and solar. Those pretending to do so are now smacking headlong into a reality … Continue reading Brace For Blackouts: Wind & Solar Transition Promise Dimly Lit Misery
Beyond Pathetic: BP’s Offshore Wind Plans End With $Billion Investment Wipeout
Right now, the fastest way to lose cash is to invest in an offshore wind power outfit. Dozens of projects have been scrapped, and investors can’t be found outside of lunatic asylums. A while back British Petroleum (BP) tried to kid us that BP stood for Beyond Petroleum. A clever marketing ruse with all the … Continue reading Beyond Pathetic: BP’s Offshore Wind Plans End With $Billion Investment Wipeout
