There’s only one problem with intermittent wind and solar, at scale they’ve never worked and never will. Sure, powering an isolated farm house or pumping water for livestock with a few solar panels makes practical and economic sense. But that’s not what’s being rammed down our throats, and massively subsidised at our expense, at the … Continue reading Wind & Solar Reality Check: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Renewables Can’t Save the Planet

Suicide Road: Australia’s Renewable Energy Crisis Threatens Thousands of Well-Paid Jobs
An obsession with renewables sent power prices into orbit, destroying thousands of manufacturing jobs. Farmers irrigating crops and vines and milking cows, aquaculture outfits rearing abalone and finfish, mineral processors and miners are next. The relationship between having reliable and affordable electricity and sustaining profitable enterprise is entirely lost on Labor and the Greens. … Continue reading Suicide Road: Australia’s Renewable Energy Crisis Threatens Thousands of Well-Paid Jobs
Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind ‘industry’ would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply their … Continue reading Bluff & Bluster: US Wind Industry Furious Over Trump’s Promise to Slash Massive RE Subsidies
Idiocracy Rules: Brainwashed Brats Ditch School to Bleat For All Wind & Sun Powered Future
Apparently, RE zealots think illiterate school kids ranting about wind and solar saving us from imminent global incineration is a good thing. Putting aside the central premise and the debate about whether carbon dioxide gas (a naturally occurring, beneficial trace gas essential for life on earth) is just plant food or a pernicious and deadly … Continue reading Idiocracy Rules: Brainwashed Brats Ditch School to Bleat For All Wind & Sun Powered Future
Nationals Emergency: Queensland MPs Demand Coal-Fired Power Plants to Quell Rocketing Power Prices
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity is existential for communities that support energy hungry businesses. Not that you’d know it from the noises that emanate from the Nation’s capital, Canberra. The Greens would destroy capitalism in a heartbeat, should they ever get control of the joint. So, those engaged in profitable enterprise can’t expect any … Continue reading Nationals Emergency: Queensland MPs Demand Coal-Fired Power Plants to Quell Rocketing Power Prices
Kids Stuff: RE Rent Seekers Enlist New Wave of Useful Idiots – Illiterate School Kids
Gullible school kids are just the latest nincompoops to be brainwashed and sent into battle to convince us that wind and solar are our future. Watching throngs of breathless prepubescents wagging school and wailing about the end of the world would have been mildly amusing, if not so sad. Evidencing the fact that education these … Continue reading Kids Stuff: RE Rent Seekers Enlist New Wave of Useful Idiots – Illiterate School Kids
Power Play: Call for Reliable & Affordable Electricity Means Investing in New Coal-Fired Plant
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity sent power prices through the roof, leaving hundreds of thousands unable to afford power. In this country blessed with abundant reserves of coal, gas and uranium. It’s Australia’s Great Shame. The causes are all political; driven by the delusional hard-green-left that people the Greens and that now dominates the Labor … Continue reading Power Play: Call for Reliable & Affordable Electricity Means Investing in New Coal-Fired Plant
Europe’s Energy Crisis: Counting the Staggering Cost of Subsidising Unreliable Wind & Solar
Adding inherently unreliable and heavily subsidised wind and solar to your grid is a guarantee of rocketing power prices. Every place in the world that got serious about wind and solar is being belted with serious increases in electricity costs. Wind and solar ‘powered’ Germany and wind ‘powered’ Denmark pay Europe’s highest power prices, by … Continue reading Europe’s Energy Crisis: Counting the Staggering Cost of Subsidising Unreliable Wind & Solar
American Resistance: Rural Communities Reject Destructive & Disruptive Wind Power Projects
One wind industry myth is that farmers and families can’t wait to have 300 tonne wind turbines speared into their backyards. A raft of litigation, protests and open hostility to the wind industry, in general, and wind developers, in particular, suggests otherwise. As Robert Bryce details below, rural communities are not prepared to give up the … Continue reading American Resistance: Rural Communities Reject Destructive & Disruptive Wind Power Projects
American Wreckers: Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is an Economic Suicide Pact
Out to destroy an entire economy? Start with energy. South Australia did. A 50% RET delivers the world’s highest power prices and the chaotic delivery of wind and solar has left the wind and solar capital an international laughingstock. Frequent and mass power cuts, along with Australia’s only statewide blackout, helped on that score. … Continue reading American Wreckers: Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is an Economic Suicide Pact
