Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality

The trouble with reality is that eventually crushes delusions and wishful thinking, just like the notion we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Hope collides pretty quickly with the inherent failing of power generators that can’t deliver on demand. No one cares much for freezing or boiling in the dark. And no … Continue reading Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality

Wasted & Worthless: Mountains of Wind & Solar Power Dumped For Want of Buyers

In a theatre of the absurd, wind and solar generators get paid (with your taxes) to generate nothing at all (except subsidised profits for their shareholders). Producing no power when consumers really need it, and mountains of power when consumers don’t, is the very definition of chaos. And all that wanton waste comes with a … Continue reading Wasted & Worthless: Mountains of Wind & Solar Power Dumped For Want of Buyers

Crushed: Biggest Wind & Solar State Suffers Astronomical Power Prices

Germany and Denmark suffer Europe’s highest power prices, thanks to their subsidised wind and solar obsession. Likewise, South Australians are being belted by retail power prices that are (dollar for dollar) the highest in the world. As night follows day, any attempt to run on sunshine and breezes leads to out of this world power … Continue reading Crushed: Biggest Wind & Solar State Suffers Astronomical Power Prices

Peak Stupidity: Wind & Solar Transition Claims Beyond Comprehension

Once upon a time, those charged with delivering affordable power, as and when we needed it, were responsible, stoic and serious. These days, the energy domain has been overrun by a group of delusional zealots, who act as the spearhead for a band of cynical, billionaire rent-seekers. Politicos love them, and are always keen to … Continue reading Peak Stupidity: Wind & Solar Transition Claims Beyond Comprehension

Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant

Solar panels love sunshine, dislike clouds and positively detest dust storms, hailstorms and Hurricanes. Now, if they weren’t meant to be producing power as and when we need it, none of that would matter very much, at all. Except that rent-seekers reckon that an endless sea of solar panels, hooked up to a few billion … Continue reading Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant

‘Renewables’ Reversal: Rural Communities Reject Grand Wind & Solar Rollout

Rejecting the overtures of liars and scammers is easy. For years the wind and solar industries have made an art form of both. Now, slowly but surely, communities have learned to spot the lies and community defenders are driving the scammers out of town. STT recently reported on the growing number of landholders who are … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Reversal: Rural Communities Reject Grand Wind & Solar Rollout

Life Support: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Keeping the Lights On

Thanks to their chaotic intermittency, any increase in wind and solar capacity brings with it their capacity to bring down whole power grids. In Australia, the only thing preventing a total system black are its remaining coal-fired power plants. The very plants that the massive subsidies, punitive mandates and ludicrous wind and solar targets are … Continue reading Life Support: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Keeping the Lights On

Truth in Numbers: Cheap ‘Renewables’ Claim Smashed by Crushing Power Bills

Subsidised wind and solar are the principal reason for rocketing power prices, and rocketing power prices are the principal reason for rocketing inflation. Branded as “cost of living pressures” the rapid doubling and tripling of retail power costs are always and everywhere about the market destruction caused by massive subsidies to intermittent and unreliable wind … Continue reading Truth in Numbers: Cheap ‘Renewables’ Claim Smashed by Crushing Power Bills

All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes

Solar panels deliver power for around 6 hours a day, struggle during wet/cloudy weather and a decent hailstorm or hurricane wipes them out completely. Anyone recommending solar power as a solution to our growing need for electrical energy needs their head read. Certain parts of the world suffer regular, violent hailstorms, where hailstones outsize golf … Continue reading All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes

No Deal: More Panicked Farmers Join Rush to Rip-up Contracts to Host Wind Turbines

Farmers who’ve agreed to have wind turbines on their land are tearing up their contracts, and those thinking about entering such agreements are rejecting the offers made by wind power outfits, out of hand. It’s a MAJOR problem for rent-seekers and their political enablers. And their panic is palpable and hysterical, at once. In one … Continue reading No Deal: More Panicked Farmers Join Rush to Rip-up Contracts to Host Wind Turbines
