Adding wind and solar capacity is a bit like pushing on string; the outcome never matches the effort applied. Across the globe, it’s true to say that there has been a massive expansion in wind and solar power capacity. However, as Rafe Champion points out below, there’s a yawning gulf between the notional capacity of … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rip-off: Wind & Solar Consistently Fail to Deliver the Goods

Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless
Weather-dependent wind power has no inherent commercial value, simply because it can't be delivered as and when it’s needed. The only “value” is the massive and endless subsidies that it attracts. The graph above depicts the output for the month of March, from every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid, with a total notional … Continue reading Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless
Want To Wreck A Power Grid? Add Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse battled over whether America would run on DC or AC power, but they never had to battle with the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar. Celebrated in the recently released film, The Current War, Westinghouse and Edison fought a pitched battle over technology, patents, media approval and the support of … Continue reading Want To Wreck A Power Grid? Add Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Suicide Squad: Green Energy ‘Experts’ Destroyed Australia’s Reliable & Affordable Power Supply
Australia’s suicidal energy policies are the product of a squad of rent-seekers masquerading as energy ‘experts’. These sanctimonious windbags all carry PhD’s in spending other people’s money, and all graduated from the University of Endless Subsidies. The Federal Government has to share its responsibility for the debacle; it started it, after all. But, every time … Continue reading Suicide Squad: Green Energy ‘Experts’ Destroyed Australia’s Reliable & Affordable Power Supply
Grow Up Now: America Tells Australia to Get With The Program & Go Nuclear
The USA, the world’s largest nuclear power generator, has 99 nuclear power reactors in 30 states, operated by 30 different power companies, and in 2016 they produced 805 TWh. Since 2001 these plants have achieved an average capacity factor of over 90%, generating up to 807 TWh per year and accounting for about 20% of total electricity … Continue reading Grow Up Now: America Tells Australia to Get With The Program & Go Nuclear
Holiday From Hell: Government Squanders Taxpayer’s Money On Wind Turbine Theme Park
If travelling to the back blocks to hug a busted 50m wind turbine blade’s your thing, has the NSW government got the holiday for you!! With the streets of the normally bustling metropolis of Sydney bereft of life (thanks to the Coronavirus lockdown), the NSW government has decided that bringing the tourist trade back to … Continue reading Holiday From Hell: Government Squanders Taxpayer’s Money On Wind Turbine Theme Park
Last Gasp: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Leaves Australian Economy On Life Support
The coronavirus is hitting Australia’s economy, but it will pass; whereas, its self-inflicted renewable energy calamity is here to stay. Where the former was unforeseen and fatal for a few, the latter was perfectly predictable and will have calamitous effects for the many, and for generations to come. What’s left of Australia’s manufacturing and mineral … Continue reading Last Gasp: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Leaves Australian Economy On Life Support
Fake News: Tasmania’s 200% Renewable Energy Vanity Project, 100% Dependent on Coal-Fired Power from Victoria
The renewable energy zealot is all care and no responsibility. Claims that the world can run on sunshine and breezes and become “100% renewable” have been outdone by Tasmania with its claim that it will soon be 200% renewable. But, dig a little deeper, and the 200% claim is just as hollow as the … Continue reading Fake News: Tasmania’s 200% Renewable Energy Vanity Project, 100% Dependent on Coal-Fired Power from Victoria
Second-Rate Solar: Cloudy Weather Brings Chaos to Communities Reliant on Solar Power
Recharging a mobile phone with a solar panel when you’re camping might be a wheeze, but don’t expect solar to deliver serious power when you need it most. A few years back, Greenpeace turned up in an Indian village, Dharnai and supplied it with a solar-powered micro-grid, crowing that “Dharnai refused to give into the … Continue reading Second-Rate Solar: Cloudy Weather Brings Chaos to Communities Reliant on Solar Power
Australia’s Completely Nuts: World’s Third Biggest Uranium Exporter Maintains Ban On Nuclear Power Generation
Australians fed up with crushing power bills are talking about a nuclear powered future, like there’s no tomorrow. Having recognised that climate alarmists will never relent in their crusade against carbon dioxide gas – being a proxy for eradicating cheap, reliable and affordable coal-fired power – anyone interested in a future where hot showers and … Continue reading Australia’s Completely Nuts: World’s Third Biggest Uranium Exporter Maintains Ban On Nuclear Power Generation
