When ideology is all, reality has a nasty habit of undoing the grandest of plans. So it is with the great wind and solar ‘reset’. The economic storage of intermittent wind and solar is a fantastic pipe dream; the colossal expense attached to mythical mega-batteries means that it will remain so. The minerals required for … Continue reading Renewables Roadblock: Wind & Solar Transition Meets Real Community Opposition

Real Nowhere Plan: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Already Doomed to Total Failure
Sound engineering, not ideology sits at the heart of our reliable and affordable power supplies. However, in the veritable blink of an eye, engineers have been given the flick, so too, our good friends logic and reason. Australia might register as geographically significant and claims to be a world player, but still retains the mentality … Continue reading Real Nowhere Plan: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Already Doomed to Total Failure
Renewable Cult’s Claim That ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Cut Power Bills Goes Up In Smoke
The claim that wind and solar guarantee falling power bills is being revealed for the big fat lie that it truly is. It's a reality that is catching up with a vengeance for Australians gullible enough to have bought it. Tens of $billions have already been squandered on subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar … Continue reading Renewable Cult’s Claim That ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Cut Power Bills Goes Up In Smoke
Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
It doesn't take a genius to connect calm weather with total collapses in wind power output. Even the functionally illiterate have the capacity to understand just how incapable wind power is of delivering power on demand. For example, depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
Baseload Basics: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Guaranteed to Keep Lights On In Australia
Germans soon recognised the importance of their coal-fired power plants, forced to reopen them days after shutting them down in January 2021 because, surprise, surprise, the wind stopped blowing. And that big backpedal occurred long before Vlad Putin began putting the squeeze on the gas supplies needed to prop up those occasions when Germany’s 30,000 … Continue reading Baseload Basics: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Guaranteed to Keep Lights On In Australia
Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
Before the wind and sun cult took charge, the power grid was designed and run by engineers - using coal, a little gas, hydro and nuclear (everywhere else in the world except Australia, that is). It ran like clockwork; power was cheap as chips and delivered on demand. Electrical storms were the only thing that … Continue reading Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics
Voters get the governments are to serve, so it’s said, which means that sympathy for their current energy woes runs thin. Voters who walked into a booth thinking they would save the planet by backing candidates and parties who promised to go all in on the grand wind and solar ‘transition’, might be suffering a … Continue reading Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics
No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
With the debacle playing out in Europe and the UK, it takes a special brand of delusion the claim that increasing reliance on wind and solar will inevitably result in falling power prices. And delusion, in that respect, is very much the order of the day amongst Australia’s Green/Labor Alliance. When it comes to anything … Continue reading No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
Net Zero Intelligence: Logic and Reason Give Way to Unreliable Renewables Obsession
Reason and logic are in the fight of their lives; ideologues continue to push chaotically intermittent wind and solar, determined to deprive us of the reliable and affordable power that dragged us towards the unparalleled peace and prosperity we currently take for granted. Net-zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets are only the latest assault launched … Continue reading Net Zero Intelligence: Logic and Reason Give Way to Unreliable Renewables Obsession
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
