Self-immolating lithium-ion batteries spewing toxic smoke is just another part of our grand wind and solar transition. And it’s not just those in service providing deadly pyrotechnic displays (see above the giant Tesla that burned for days in Victoria). Those past their use by dates are also giving thrilling thermal displays, as they turn their … Continue reading French Lithium Battery Warehouse Explodes In Terrifying Toxic Fireball

Broken Dreams: Constant Calm Weather Wiping Out Britain’s Wind Industry
The wind industry treats natural meteorological phenomenon - like calm weather - as a grand conspiracy. They’ve even coined their very own curse, calling such lengthy events “wind droughts”. Wind and solar-dependent Germans call gloomy, windless weather ‘dunkelflaute’. Wild claims being smashed by nature is a common feature of earthly hubris. Icarus learnt the hard … Continue reading Broken Dreams: Constant Calm Weather Wiping Out Britain’s Wind Industry
Practical Reality: Off-Road Campers Grapple With Solar Power’s Natural Limits
https://youtu.be/HQthAzrrzkg?si=QRqmGfcAuf0mIsPe The Sun cult reckon solar (with a few $trillion worth of lithium-ion batteries) is already capable of powering the planet. Reality begs to differ. The performance claims made by solar panel sales reps are always overhyped. Actual output never matches the numbers laid out in glossy brochures or on slick websites. A lot of … Continue reading Practical Reality: Off-Road Campers Grapple With Solar Power’s Natural Limits
Mission Impossible: Why Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Reliability Problem
Reduced to waffling about grid-scale battery storage, the wind and solar industries are having a hard time demonstrating that they have any kind of future, at all. Delusional promoters of the grand wind and solar 'transition' reckon the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar can cured by “storing” it. Pitches include using insanely expensive lithium … Continue reading Mission Impossible: Why Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar’s Reliability Problem
Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
The results of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes can’t be hidden forever. As wind and solar generating capacity increases, the inevitable consequences are soon revealed: namely, routine power rationing, mass blackouts and crippling power prices. And yet the acolytes continue to maintain that we’re only a few mythical mega-batteries away from an all-wind … Continue reading Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
Unscheduled Battery Blowups Turning Electric Vehicles Into Mobile Time Bombs
The transition to electric vehicles is hardly going to plan: sales have collapsed in the US, EV manufacturers are bleeding cash and insurers are cranking up premiums to account for an uptick in the number of unscheduled battery blowups – aka ‘thermal runaways’. The vehicle doesn’t go anywhere, it simply self-immolates in a plume of … Continue reading Unscheduled Battery Blowups Turning Electric Vehicles Into Mobile Time Bombs
Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Dilute, diffuse, intermittent and unreliable, wind and solar make no sense. They will never constitute meaningful power generation sources. They were only designed as subsidy generation sources. As governments pull the plug on subsidies, wind power outfits and turbine makers are pulling the plug on their projects and production. Siemens Energy is losing cash like … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable
There’s nothing vaguely ‘renewable’ about wind and solar - when panels and turbines give up the ghost after a decade or so, the panels are crushed and dumped in landfills, as are millions of turbine blades. None of which is recycled; none of which is renewable. The panels and turbines are completely replaced and the … Continue reading Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable
Africa Embraces Energy Freedom By Rejecting Net-Zero CO2 Madness
While Western elites obsess about carbon dioxide gas, the rest of the world is screaming out for affordable energy. Ignoring those perfectly rational pleas, a cabal of pontificating windbags are hellbent on preventing any real development in the poorest parts of the planet - Africa included. Their weapon of choice is forcing chaotically intermittent and … Continue reading Africa Embraces Energy Freedom By Rejecting Net-Zero CO2 Madness
Conspiracy of Silence: MSM Runs Protection Racket for Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers
The glaring fault with the mainstream media is not so much what they publish, it’s what they refuse to publish. The truth runs a distant third to woke memes and fashionable mantras. How we found ourselves in a world where power prices are simply unaffordable, and power can only be delivered according the vagaries of … Continue reading Conspiracy of Silence: MSM Runs Protection Racket for Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers
