Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure
Once ideologues replaced engineers, reliable and affordable electricity supplies were doomed. It began 20 years ago, with massive subsidies for the occasional production of electricity using wind turbines and solar panels. There was no shortage of perfectly reliable electricity at the time. Back then, electricity was not only reliably delivered on demand, it was cheap. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure
Destroying the Planet to ‘Save It’: Green Hypocrites Demand Even More Wind & Solar
Leaving a wake of environmental destruction wherever it plies its subsidy-soaked trade, the wind industry is the Grand Master of green hypocrisy. Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. And it’s not just pristine rainforests - critical habitat for a countless … Continue reading Destroying the Planet to ‘Save It’: Green Hypocrites Demand Even More Wind & Solar
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Gambling With Other Peoples’ Money And Always Losing
Squandering $billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the cornerstone of the policy said to deliver the grand energy transition. Not that we have any say in the matter, but, if given the choice of paying rent-seekers to carpet the country in even more solar panels and wind turbines or joining the political malefactors … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Gambling With Other Peoples’ Money And Always Losing
Practical Reality: Off-Road Campers Grapple With Solar Power’s Natural Limits
https://youtu.be/HQthAzrrzkg?si=QRqmGfcAuf0mIsPe The Sun cult reckon solar (with a few $trillion worth of lithium-ion batteries) is already capable of powering the planet. Reality begs to differ. The performance claims made by solar panel sales reps are always overhyped. Actual output never matches the numbers laid out in glossy brochures or on slick websites. A lot of … Continue reading Practical Reality: Off-Road Campers Grapple With Solar Power’s Natural Limits
Energy Illiterate Halfwits Responsible For Subsidised Wind & Solar Death Spiral
To call it ‘energy policy’ is to flatter it. Attempting to run first world economies on part-time power is not just delusional, it is criminal. Unfortunately, those responsible for the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time can only be brought to justice at the ballot box. In Australia, a group of energy illiterate … Continue reading Energy Illiterate Halfwits Responsible For Subsidised Wind & Solar Death Spiral
Tap Into Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar: Get Ready For Punishing Power Bills
Being pounded with 20% increases in power bills, year after year, is all part of the grand wind and solar transition. Every single country that’s tapped into subsidised wind and solar has seen retail power prices rocket - no exceptions. It’s one case where whatever goes up, never comes down. The promise of cheap electricity … Continue reading Tap Into Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar: Get Ready For Punishing Power Bills
Killer App: Nuclear Moves Destroy Business Case For Subsidised Wind & Solar
The business case for wind and solar rests entirely on subsidies, which rest entirely on political sentiment. With punishing power bills causing increasing anger amongst the proles’, it’s getting harder for politicos to justify their delusional renewable energy/net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets. That shift in the political mood feeds directly into the dreaded ‘sovereign … Continue reading Killer App: Nuclear Moves Destroy Business Case For Subsidised Wind & Solar
Unions Backing Sinking Solar & Wind Playing Russian Roulette With Retirement Savings
Clever investors have already pulled their cash out of wind and solar outfits, as projects get scrapped and turbine and panel makers lose $billions. A complete Enron-style collapse is on the cards. Companies like Shell are walking away from multi-billion-dollar projects, big players like Orsted, Vestas and Siemens Gamesa are in structural financial crisis - … Continue reading Unions Backing Sinking Solar & Wind Playing Russian Roulette With Retirement Savings
World’s Energy Dunce: Australia Slammed For Embarrassing Anti-Nuclear Power Stance
Every country that’s vaguely serious about reliable and affordable power has nuclear power plants or is in the process of building them, in earnest. In the current global energy climate, Australia’s legislated ban on nuclear power is beyond embarrassing; it’s positively idiotic. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the number … Continue reading World’s Energy Dunce: Australia Slammed For Embarrassing Anti-Nuclear Power Stance
