It’s a disease of the mind that allows for the belief that a first world economy can … Continue reading Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge
How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Keep Adding Wind & Solar
Without exception, every country that’s plugged into the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering from crippling power prices and unreliable delivery. The relationship is so stark as to be blindingly obvious; and one that was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable.

Net Zero Experiment Built on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Doomed to Failure
A decade from now we’ll be talking about the transition to wind and solar that never happened. Right now, though, rent seekers and their enabling politicos are making claims, fast and furious about reaching net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets using nothing but sunshine and breezes. No country has ever run itself entirely on wind … Continue reading Net Zero Experiment Built on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Doomed to Failure

Simply Irresistible: Why Plugging Into Small Modular Reactors Makes Perfect Sense
Listen to the wind and sun cult and you’d think that Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are a work of far-fetched Science Fiction. The reality is that some 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. None of which sits with the narrative pitched by … Continue reading Simply Irresistible: Why Plugging Into Small Modular Reactors Makes Perfect Sense
‘Green’ Hydrogen Hoax Implodes: The Economics Simply Don’t Stack Up
The wind and solar scammers raking in massive subsidies have been joined by the ‘hydrogen huckster’, just as eager to exploit an opportunity when he sees one; an opportunity to gouge untold $billions from taxpayers. The shakedown is said to be justified on the bogus pretext that they’re out to save the planet. Scratch the … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hydrogen Hoax Implodes: The Economics Simply Don’t Stack Up
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Trainwreck: Australians Face More Summer Blackouts
Dry spells, spell hot summers in Australia, which spell load shedding and mass blackouts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. The summer of 2017/18 was a scorcher.
