The remote targeting and detonation of the pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah terrorists has shaken security experts around the globe. What else might be targeted, they muse? Well, obviously enough, distributed wind and solar power generation systems which are all connected to the Internet (in one way or another) provide pretty decent targets for … Continue reading Soft Targets: Giant Lithium-ion Batteries Perfect For Enemy Hacker Attacks

Disposable Power Plants: Wind and Solar Industries’ Junk Headed For Landfills Near You
Millions of ageing wind turbines and solar panels have passed their use by dates and are on their way to landfills near you. While steel, aluminium, copper and other metals can be scavenged from what’s left of a wind turbine carcass, the 10-30 tonne blades (filled with toxic Bisphenol-A) are simply cut up, crushed and … Continue reading Disposable Power Plants: Wind and Solar Industries’ Junk Headed For Landfills Near You
Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Massive Subsidies and Even Bigger Lies
The wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies and run on subsidies. The electricity that the occasionally produce has no commercial value, simply because it can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it. And because their output can’t be controlled, producers get paid a fortune to produce nothing at all to prevent … Continue reading Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Massive Subsidies and Even Bigger Lies
Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Cornered with wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency, the cult cries “storage”, as some kind of crushing hex against the energy realists ready to tackle their delusional thinking. The ideologue never lets the facts get in the way of radical, self-destructive policies, especially when it comes to energy. The application of simple arithmetic is enough to … Continue reading Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant
Solar panels love sunshine, dislike clouds and positively detest dust storms, hailstorms and Hurricanes. Now, if they weren’t meant to be producing power as and when we need it, none of that would matter very much, at all. Except that rent-seekers reckon that an endless sea of solar panels, hooked up to a few billion … Continue reading Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant
Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
The Electric Vehicle crowd are struggling to deflect attention from the disastrous environmental impacts caused by their shiny new Teslas. Wedded to their own virtuous piety, EV owners evidently ignore the hypocrisy that sits at the heart of every EV: a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-ion battery, whether it’s used to power an all-EV or as … Continue reading Environmental Insensitivity: Electric Vehicles Driven By Moral Piety & Gross Hypocrisy
EV Explosion: Lithium Battery Fires Provide New & Exciting Firefighting Opportunities
Electric Vehicles running on wind and solar power captured and stored in lithium-ion batteries is all part of the grand ‘transition’, or so we’re told. Except when those batteries self-immolate, burn for days and spew out a deadly toxic plume that threatens anything but breaths for miles around. Not that the pyrotechnic mayhem attracts much … Continue reading EV Explosion: Lithium Battery Fires Provide New & Exciting Firefighting Opportunities
Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
It’s a challenge to distill any sensible narrative from the grand wind and solar transition. The subtext is always and everywhere about deflecting attention from their natural incapacity to deliver power as and when it’s needed. Also known as the ‘hopeless intermittency problem’. The ‘answers’ pitched up seem only limited by the rather fertile (albeit … Continue reading Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
The wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you have power, as long as the subsidies keep rolling in. The path to penury - aka the ‘grand renewable energy transition’ - is dimly lit and the future, darker still. But, so it is, when you pin your entire energy hopes on the wind and … Continue reading Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
Battery Cost Blowout: No Economic Way of Storing Wind & Solar Power
The impossibility of storing wind and solar power to compensate for sunset and calm weather is pure arithmetic; the claims that it can be done economically, pure delusion. Sure, when they’re not exploding into toxic fireballs, giant lithium-ion batteries can store power generated (from any source) and release it on demand. However, the staggering cost … Continue reading Battery Cost Blowout: No Economic Way of Storing Wind & Solar Power
