Politicos and the MSM are wedded to the myth that mega-batteries are all we need to overcome the chaotic delivery of wind and solar. The addition of which, we are told, is both imminent and cost-free. No country on earth has been able to crack the cost-effective grid-scale storage electricity. The laws of physics are … Continue reading Why Big Batteries Can’t Cure Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency

No Contest: Coal-Fired Power Outright Winner In Reliable & Affordable Energy Wars
China, India and Indonesia are building hundreds of coal-fired power plants because they deliver electricity all day, every day at prices that everyone can afford. The reason for backing coal-fired power is that simple. And yet thanks to a mixture of mercenary self-interest on the part of renewable energy rent seekers and the wilful ignorance … Continue reading No Contest: Coal-Fired Power Outright Winner In Reliable & Affordable Energy Wars
Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity All Down To Wind & Solar Chaos
Australia’s unfolding power pricing and supply calamity reveals just how critical our coal-fired power plants are if we want power as and when we need it. Sure, there’s a choice between virtue signalling about your love of wind and solar and visceral hatred of “dirty” coal-fired power. But allow the deluded wind and sun … Continue reading Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity All Down To Wind & Solar Chaos
Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity
Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Since Vladimir Putin's adventure in Ukraine, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity
Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor
Renewable energy rent-seekers come in all shapes and sizes, from mega windfarm outfits to well-to-do middle-class households. And in either instance, it pays never to stand between them and a bucket of someone else’s money. Any threat to the subsidy stream is met with howls about their ‘right’ to benefit from other people’s labours. You … Continue reading Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor
Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
The renewable energy pit deepens, but there’s no indication the dolts in charge will ever stop digging. The, by now obvious, consequences of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes include another annual power price increase of over 20% this month and routine power rationing by postcode. In response, there’s a growing groundswell of hostility … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
The deluded few still promoting the total transition to wind and solar as ‘inevitable’ are being pounded by reality, on a daily basis. Dead calm weather is a thing; sunset is a thing. Both phenomena are inevitable, ergo, there is no way wind and solar can ever amount to meaningful power sources. Proponents have been … Continue reading ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
Subsidised Wind & Solar Root Cause of Every Power Pricing & Supply Crisis
Germany, Denmark, South Australia, California, the list of places that prove our headline grows by the day. The wind and solar cancer that saw South Australia suffer the country’s only statewide blackout and end up suffering the world’s highest power prices, bar none, quickly spread and has now taken hold across the entire Eastern Grid … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Root Cause of Every Power Pricing & Supply Crisis
Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Intermittent wind and solar are a guarantee of rocketing power prices and rocketing power prices are a guarantee of economic destruction. An energy-hungry world will never satisfy its needs by pinning consumers’ hopes on the weather. But that’s the model that our political betters have been pushing over the last 20 years. How we landed … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
Power Price Shock: Australia’s Renewables Disaster Proves Wind & Solar Ain’t Cheap
In a weather-dependent energy world, those lucky enough to get power when they need it are being forced to pay a king’s ransom for it. Having championed the use of tens of $billions in subsidies to destroy the coal-fired generators that gave Australia its reliable and affordable power supply, Australia’s new Federal Labor government is … Continue reading Power Price Shock: Australia’s Renewables Disaster Proves Wind & Solar Ain’t Cheap
