Ideologues are quick to find a conspiracy, whenever their pet belief ultimately fails. So it is with the renewables cult - accusing mother nature of dishing up “dark doldrums”, or “dunkelflaute” (as the Germans call it) - with seemingly increasing regularity. Cloudy, calm weather is seen as a curse, and the lengthy absence of suitably … Continue reading Renewables Cult Accuse Weather of Conspiring Against Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Forget About Intermittent Wind & Solar If You Want Power As And When You Need It
As immutable laws, solar output collapses when the sun sets and wind power output collapses when calm weather sets in (and when wind speeds hit gale force and turbines automatically shut down). No amount of spin doctoring, varnishing or linguistic invention can undo them. Rafe Champion builds on those laws with his ‘iron triangle of … Continue reading Forget About Intermittent Wind & Solar If You Want Power As And When You Need It
Woke-Washing Hypocrites Demand Endless Taxpayer Subsidies For ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam
Using other people’s to offload personal guilt is hardly virtuous, but the wind and solar scam has attracted plenty of guilt-laden oligarchs looking to atone for their (often obscene) wealth doing just that - and using taxpayer-backed subsidies to conjure up all manner of new ‘green’ scams, like ‘green’ hydrogen. Australia’s Twiggy Forrest, is just … Continue reading Woke-Washing Hypocrites Demand Endless Taxpayer Subsidies For ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam
Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity
Just as Europe reverses course on its wind and solar-powered energy calamity, in Australia, the lunatics in charge of the asylum are determined to double down and destroy what remains of this country’s once reliable and affordable power supplies. With policies directed at wiping reliable coal-fired power plants off the map and rewarding the unreliables … Continue reading Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity
Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
South Australians, Californians and Texans know what comes from an overreliance on the unreliables, having suffered numerous weather-related load shedding and mass blackouts. Increasing dependence on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the price we’ve paid for allowing ideology to ride roughshod over sound engineering and solid economics. Once the engineers were relegated to the … Continue reading Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos
Blowing up coal-fired power plants comes with a staggering price tag and Australia’s power consumers are paying it, with another round of 20-30% increases in retail power prices only a couple of months away. And that crushing blow sits on top of the routine annual double-digit increases, they’ve been suffering over the last decade. With … Continue reading Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos
Growing Up: Australia’s Nuclear Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
Nuclear power is the obvious choice for naval submariners keen on speed, reliability and stealth. Which is why Australia has just signed up to join the big boys with a fleet of its very own nuclear-powered submarines. While there might be plenty to debate about the terms of that deal, one thing is crystal clear: … Continue reading Growing Up: Australia’s Nuclear Submarine Deal Paves Way For Nuclear Powered Future
Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
In another, ‘we told you so’ moment, retail power prices in Australia will jump by 20% to 30% in June, following annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was designed to wreck our conventional coal-fired power … Continue reading Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Industrial scale wind and solar are world leaders when it comes to wrecking communities and destroying the environment. Heavily subsidized, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human … Continue reading Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment
Clown Show: Wind & Solar Obsessed Idiots Now Firmly In Charge of Energy Policy
If the delusion that we’re destined to run on nothing but wind and solar were a disease, it would have been declared a pandemic, long ago. The symptoms are readily observed - a trenchant and unshakeable belief that wind and solar can completely replace, coal, gas and nuclear power - they’re contagious and almost impossible … Continue reading Clown Show: Wind & Solar Obsessed Idiots Now Firmly In Charge of Energy Policy
