The wind and solar ‘transition’ is being sold as Utopia - but anyone prepared to believe that will believe anything. In Germany and Britain, a growing number are starting to work it out. They’ve been lied to; they’re angry and there will be a political vengeance against those who have delivered misery of a type … Continue reading Never Sustainable: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Just Another Failed Utopian Dream

Don’t Follow The Leader: How To Avoid Britain’s Wind & Solar Energy Disaster (Just Stop Now)
Britain’s power consumers (or what’s left of them) are brewing for a full-scale revolt. 12 months ago, the average annual energy bill was £1,400 ($2,400). Energy industry analyst Cornwall Insight forecasts that the British price cap will skyrocket and the average annual bill will reach £3,582 ($6,177) next month. By January, it predicts it will … Continue reading Don’t Follow The Leader: How To Avoid Britain’s Wind & Solar Energy Disaster (Just Stop Now)
Markets Reject ‘Coal is Dead’ Mantra: Global Thermal Coal Prices Surge to All New Record
Mark Twain noted reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. So too, the ‘death’ of coal-fired power. For years, the wind and sun cult have been bleating triumphantly that ‘coal is dead’. Energy markets, however, don’t share their peculiar worldview. Thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal … Continue reading Markets Reject ‘Coal is Dead’ Mantra: Global Thermal Coal Prices Surge to All New Record
Net-Zero Nonsense: Nothing Cheap About Mandated CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets
Net-zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are just the latest woke wheeze to grip our political betters. We’re told that wind and solar are central to so-called ‘net-zero CO2 emissions targets’. Never mind the renewables driven energy calamity playing out in Europe, California, Texas and now Australia. What is little more than a rebooted extension of … Continue reading Net-Zero Nonsense: Nothing Cheap About Mandated CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets
Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
In power-starved Europe, nuclear is back in vogue, principally because it’s cheap and reliable and doesn’t depend on the weather or Russian dictators who supply the gas to fill the gaps when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. There’s a reason that the French enjoy power prices half that suffered by their German … Continue reading Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
Power Consumers Become Victims of Suicidal Subsidised Wind & Solar Push
No country that ‘invested’ in wind and solar has ever seen their retail power prices fall. In Europe, wind and solar ‘powered’ Germans and Danes are punished by Europe's highest power prices - around double that paid by the nuclear-powered French. Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia set the benchmark down under for crippling power … Continue reading Power Consumers Become Victims of Suicidal Subsidised Wind & Solar Push
Suicidal Sleepwalk: Time to Stop Emulating Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession
As Germans and Brits stock up on woollen blankets and candles, the world has a chance to avoid the perfectly avoidable. In both cases, an obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has them scrambling for reliable energy - as if thousands of lives depend on it - which they literally do. … Continue reading Suicidal Sleepwalk: Time to Stop Emulating Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity Forces Brits to Embrace Reliable Nuclear Power
Necessity is the mother of energy policy reinvention, and safe, reliable and affordable nuclear is at the heart of it. In Britain, thanks to its obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, power prices are already at astronomical levels. Its political betters are ruing the day they determined to trash their coal-fired … Continue reading Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity Forces Brits to Embrace Reliable Nuclear Power
New-Age Cargo Cult: Why Wind & Solar Push Continues to Deliver ‘Green’ Elephants
A new cargo cult is wedded to the notion that sunshine and breezes is all we need for peace and prosperity. When reality rattles the cult (eg sunset and calm weather), it tells us that a little mythical technology (think giant lithium-ion batteries or ‘green’ hydrogen) is all that stands between us and a veritable … Continue reading New-Age Cargo Cult: Why Wind & Solar Push Continues to Deliver ‘Green’ Elephants
Transmission Loss: $Billions Squandered Connecting Remote & Intermittent Wind & Solar
Untold $billions are being squandered to connect unreliable, intermittent and diffuse, wind and solar to power grids; grids that were working just fine before the unreliables turned up. The wind and solar industries spear turbines and plaster panels way beyond the back of beyond. Increasingly remote locations for wind and solar generators require serious upgrades … Continue reading Transmission Loss: $Billions Squandered Connecting Remote & Intermittent Wind & Solar
