Occasional Wind & Solar Generation Guarantee Staggering Backup Costs
Sunset kills solar output the same way calm weather renders wind turbines utterly useless. Around the world $trillions have been squandered on occasional power generation which is always and everywhere dependent on sunshine and/or the weather. In the beginning, there was a perfectly functional power supply with reliable generators connected by a systematically designed grid … Continue reading Occasional Wind & Solar Generation Guarantee Staggering Backup Costs
Uncontrollable Surge: Daytime Solar Output Swamps Grid & Wrecks Power Market
The chaos that’s wrecking our power supplies is what happens when engineers are replaced by ideologues. Long on cultish mantras about the ‘inevitable transition’ and the wonders of ‘free wind and solar energy’, but short on maths, physics and economics, the clowns in charge of our power supplies would have been charged with treason, not … Continue reading Uncontrollable Surge: Daytime Solar Output Swamps Grid & Wrecks Power Market

Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Access to reliable and affordable power is just another thing Westerners have taken for granted, for far too long. A band of weather-obsessed ideologues have set about methodically destroying our once perfectly affordable and thoroughly reliable power supplies, by propounding the delusional notion that wind and solar can replace that well-designed system which has powered … Continue reading Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
New Nuclear Power Policy Kills Australia’s Wind & Solar Rollout
Rent seekers hoping to profit from the wind and solar scam are in meltdown, following the Liberal/National Coalition’s plan to take a nuclear power policy to the next Federal election.
