Renewables zealots tout Germany as the benchmark for the ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar, but its energy system is a complete debacle. Germany’s so-called Energiewende (energy transition) has turned into a power pricing and supply calamity. Which was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Germany’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar … Continue reading Barking Mad: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Grand ‘Green’ Delusions

Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return
Sunset and calm weather have been with us since the dawn of time; wind and solar power have existed for barely a generation, and only as a result of massive subsidies. The notion that modern economies can operate around the vagaries of the weather and time of day is, of course, patent nonsense. The factory … Continue reading Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return
History Repeats: Taxpayers Fork Out Another $Billion on Another Giant Solar White Elephant
When Crescent Dunes, the world’s biggest solar-thermal power plant went bankrupt, US taxpayers were left to pick up the tab, with their liability running into hundreds of $millions. South Australians (victims of their government’s obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar) can count themselves lucky that they didn’t end up with a carbon copy … Continue reading History Repeats: Taxpayers Fork Out Another $Billion on Another Giant Solar White Elephant
Suicidal Tendencies: Australia’s Energy Policy Designed to Destroy Industry, Business & Jobs
Even before the coronavirus lockdowns, Australian business was under threat from rocketing power prices and an unreliable supply, thanks an obsession with subsidised wind and solar. At a time when every industry and business is looking for some sign of sense and reason from policymakers, instead of delivering a raft of policies that just … Continue reading Suicidal Tendencies: Australia’s Energy Policy Designed to Destroy Industry, Business & Jobs
Save Our Jobs: Australia’s Economic Recovery Demands Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Whatever policies are directed at recovering from the coronavirus lockdown, without reliable and affordable power Australia’s energy hungry businesses are doomed. With rocketing power prices, and an intermittent supply, mineral processors and manufacturers are terminal, and have been for years. Politicians and academic boffins have been giving lip service to improving Australia’s “resilience” and “self-sufficiency”, … Continue reading Save Our Jobs: Australia’s Economic Recovery Demands Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Suicide Watch: Morrison Government’s Latest Energy Policy A Guaranteed Economy Wrecker
The Federal government’s policy of continuing to subsidise hopelessly unreliable wind and solar has driven power prices through the roof and businesses out the door. At a time when every industry and business is looking for some sign of sense and reason from policymakers, instead of delivering a raft of policies that just might … Continue reading Suicide Watch: Morrison Government’s Latest Energy Policy A Guaranteed Economy Wrecker
Snow Job: Giant Pumped Hydro Scheme Set to Destroy Australia’s Favourite National Park
Future generations will wonder why this one destroyed the planet, while claiming to save it, using completely useless industrial wind turbines and solar panels. Whether it’s dumping hundreds of thousands of toxic solar panels and windmill blades into landfill, or the toxic lakes in China where the rare earths are processed that make them, the … Continue reading Snow Job: Giant Pumped Hydro Scheme Set to Destroy Australia’s Favourite National Park
Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
Wind power is the joke where the punchline is a mixture of rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. None of which is particularly funny for those suffering from one and threatened by the other. As to the latter, this country’s maniacal obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and … Continue reading Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
‘Green’ Delusions: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
It takes a special brand of delusion to still believe that chaotically intermittent wind and solar can replace conventional generators, such as coal, gas and nuclear plants. But they’re still out there. Indeed, some of them hold high, elected office. Or once did. Maths, physics, economics and meteorology are not difficult disciplines. But mastery thereof … Continue reading ‘Green’ Delusions: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
Born Naked: Planet of the Humans Exposes Renewable Energy as the Greatest Fraud of All Time
Planet of the Humans has done more than touch a raw nerve among climate cultists and RE zealots, it’s sent them into apoplexy. Michael Moore’s withering attack on the power and money behind the renewable energy scam – produced by Moore and made by Jeff Gibbs – has been uploaded to YouTube to allow … Continue reading Born Naked: Planet of the Humans Exposes Renewable Energy as the Greatest Fraud of All Time
