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

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.

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.

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

Power Deficit: Wind Power’s Hopeless Intermittency Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Generation
What seemed like a good idea at the time, has turned into an unmitigated disaster. Germany threw more at wind and solar than any other country on earth; its government has done everything in its power to make it work. It’s still at it. Except there’s a couple of things that it can never control: … Continue reading Power Deficit: Wind Power’s Hopeless Intermittency Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Generation
