When the Wall Street Journal starts to question the inevitability of our ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future, you know the gig is up. Until now, the WSJ has been a champion for the wind and solar ‘industries’ in the US. Playing to the myth that the wind and sun are ‘free’, … Continue reading WSJ Dares to Doubt: What if Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Aren’t ‘Inevitable’, After All?

Total Joke: Elon Musk’s Giant Lithium Battery Never Designed to Deliver Grid-Scale Power
Reefer-smoking Tesla tycoon, Elon Musk convinced South Australians to spend $150 million on a battery that could power the state for all of four minutes. Now that’s salesmanship! Even as a piece of propaganda, it failed: then Labor Premier, Jay Weatherill touted Musk’s battery as the panacea to his state’s power woes, as he tried … Continue reading Total Joke: Elon Musk’s Giant Lithium Battery Never Designed to Deliver Grid-Scale Power
Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is a New Dark Ages Nightmare
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Green-left’s favourite flibbertigibbet. Her New Green Deal, with its promise of 100% wind and solar delivering power for all, for free and for all time, should have been dismissed as fairytale nonsense, long ago. However, there are plenty of pixie dream girls and boys happy to suck it up, like there’s … Continue reading Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is a New Dark Ages Nightmare
Dancin’ With the Devil: 100% Wind & Solar Targets = Guaranteed Economic & Social Catastrophe
Delusional and dangerous, sums up those peddling 100% wind and solar targets. No country on earth has ever powered itself entirely using sunshine and breezes. And no country ever will. Sunset and calm weather are real things. On the other hand, mega-batteries are a mixture of myth and nonsense. At the margins, technically possible. But, … Continue reading Dancin’ With the Devil: 100% Wind & Solar Targets = Guaranteed Economic & Social Catastrophe
‘Clean’ Energy Kaput: Germany’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ An Inevitable & Total Failure
Germany is the world leader when it comes to wind and solar and worth following, if you’re keen to return to the Dark Ages. Germans suffer Europe’s highest power prices - right up there with wind ‘powered’ Denmark and just behind South Australia, Australia’s wind and solar capital - which tops the list. Its so-called … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Kaput: Germany’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ An Inevitable & Total Failure
Seriously Shortchanged: Germans to Squander €4.6 Trillion on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Get 2.5% of Their Energy In Return
If the recent and idiotic obsession with intermittent wind and solar needed a pinup girl, it would have to be Germany. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless sea of solar panels. For all that wanton environmental destruction, Germans get a meagre 2.5% of their primary energy demand satisfied by … Continue reading Seriously Shortchanged: Germans to Squander €4.6 Trillion on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Get 2.5% of Their Energy In Return
Batteries Not Included: $Trillions Spent on Storage Won’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar
Chaotic intermittency means wind and solar cannot, and will never, replace coal, gas or nuclear. The fact that wind and solar output plummets whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in has been treated by RE zealots as (yet another) inconvenient truth, that just won’t go away. In the first few years of the … Continue reading Batteries Not Included: $Trillions Spent on Storage Won’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar
Battery Bollocks: Why Giant Batteries Won’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Chaotic Intermittency
Almost as soon as Joe Public worked out that wind and solar can never work, RE rent seekers started babbling about giant batteries saving the day. STT will keep smashing the line about giant batteries overcoming the chaotic delivery of wind and solar, while RE zealots keep pushing it. The pitch from RE zealots is … Continue reading Battery Bollocks: Why Giant Batteries Won’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Chaotic Intermittency
Worthless Wind Power: Why A Dollar Spent on Wind Power Capacity Is A Dollar Wasted
In the absence of subsidies there would not be a wind industry, period. As Warren Buffett said: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Indeed! Every wind turbine on earth could be sucked into … Continue reading Worthless Wind Power: Why A Dollar Spent on Wind Power Capacity Is A Dollar Wasted
No Dice: Democrats ‘New Green Deal’ Nothing More Than Costly Fantasy
That we’re on the brink of an all wind and sun powered future is an audacious wheeze that sits at the heart of the ‘New Green Deal’. Any sentient being, bothering to apply a little superficial consideration, understands that the claim that wind and solar will soon provide 100% of our electricity needs is complete … Continue reading No Dice: Democrats ‘New Green Deal’ Nothing More Than Costly Fantasy
