If having no power at all was the object of our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and solar ‘powered’ future, then we’re well on our way. The bitter northern hemisphere winter just gone, has shown wind and solar for what they are: pointless and expensive vanity projects, that only a lunatic would promote and … Continue reading Wind Power Fail: Britain’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Keep The Lights On During ‘Big Calm’

Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
Nothing invokes rage and fury in rural communities like a wind farm comprising dozens and sometimes hundreds of 300 tonne, 200-270m high industrial monstrosities. Western Victoria has been overrun with these things; once peaceful pastoral properties are encircled by them, and drowned in a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency turbine noise. The wind industry and … Continue reading Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
Full-Steam Ahead: No End to China’s Insatiable Appetite For Coal-Fired Power
China isn’t even vaguely interested in intermittent wind and solar; it’s insatiable demand for coal to fuel coal-fired power plants tells the story, as does the fact that it continues to build new coal-fired plants, hand over fist. All despite claims by wind and solar cult that China will soon turn its nose up at … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: No End to China’s Insatiable Appetite For Coal-Fired Power
Nuclear Nudge: Everyone Talking About Nuclear Power After America’s Deadly Big Freeze
Shattered dreams, dashed hopes and heavy hearts are the order of the day amongst wind and solar acolytes - thanks to the avoidable energy disasters playing out in America and Germany, during a bitter northern hemisphere winter. Sure, there are a desperate few still hanging on to the hope that it will all blow over, … Continue reading Nuclear Nudge: Everyone Talking About Nuclear Power After America’s Deadly Big Freeze
American & German Renewables Disasters Drive Demand for Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
The total collapse in wind and solar output during the big freezes that first struck Germany and then America provides a wake-up call for any policymaker still promoting that dangerously unreliable pair. Indeed, any politician or policy wonk still pushing wind and solar as meaningful power sources is likely to be welcomed to a facility … Continue reading American & German Renewables Disasters Drive Demand for Ever-Reliable Nuclear Power
Net Loser: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Destroy More Jobs Than They Ever Create
Calling wind and solar ‘industries’ is sloppy; any operation that can’t survive without massive and perpetual subsidies isn’t really an ‘industry’, at all. Industry connotes effort, output and production. Whereas the wind and solar scam involves destruction on all fronts: environmental, social and economic. The myth about so-called ‘green’ energy jobs, is just that. South … Continue reading Net Loser: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Destroy More Jobs Than They Ever Create
Power Battle: Common Sense Abandoned With Push For More Intermittent Wind & Solar
Our good friends’ logic and reason were sacrificed long ago by the High Priests of the wind and solar cult. Attempt to point out the inevitable effect of sunset on solar output and/or calm weather on wind power output and you’ll be branded ‘heretic’, before you know it. You’ll be sent off to an education … Continue reading Power Battle: Common Sense Abandoned With Push For More Intermittent Wind & Solar
It’s Subsidised Wind & Solar or Meaningful Well-Paid Jobs: But You Can’t Have Both
Australian power prices went through the roof as a result of its obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar (see above). The relationship is so stark, why even a blind man, open to reality, will readily see it. However, no amount of evidence appears to register with those who pretend to govern … Continue reading It’s Subsidised Wind & Solar or Meaningful Well-Paid Jobs: But You Can’t Have Both
Wrecking Ball: Australia’s Fixation With Subsidised Renewables Guarantees Economic Disaster
If the object was wrecking every last manufacturing, mineral processing and mining job, then Australia’s renewable energy policy has delivered on time and under budget. Starting in 2001 with John Howard’s Renewable Energy Target (massively expanded by Kevin Rudd in 2009), the subsidies being squandered on intermittent wind and solar are now in the order … Continue reading Wrecking Ball: Australia’s Fixation With Subsidised Renewables Guarantees Economic Disaster
Technology Tease: On The Cruel Promise of a Renewables/Hydrogen Fuelled Future
The wind and solar industries were built on lies, run on myth and are fuelled by subsidies, so the only way forward is more of the very same. It took politicians and punters around a decade to cotton on to the hopeless unreliability and chaotic intermittency of solar and wind power. Which required an … Continue reading Technology Tease: On The Cruel Promise of a Renewables/Hydrogen Fuelled Future
