War is peace’, ‘freedom is slavery’ and ‘wind and solar power are cheap and reliable’. Big Brother and his Ministry of Truth would, no doubt, approve of the approach taken by rent-seeking crony capitalists and their political enablers to give the appearance of solidity to pure wind, and the impression that the sun shines 24 … Continue reading Energy ‘Transition’ Built On Grand Delusion That Wind & Solar Power Is Cheap & Reliable

Costly & Pathetic ‘Performance’: Thousands of Wind Turbines Being Replaced After 12 Years
Wind industry shills still make ludicrous claims about turbines running on the smell of an oily rag and lasting for 25 years or more, needing little more than a hug from time to time. They never talk about the operations and maintenance costs which - as reported by one Australian outfit Infigen - runs at … Continue reading Costly & Pathetic ‘Performance’: Thousands of Wind Turbines Being Replaced After 12 Years
Renewables Cult Accuse Weather of Conspiring Against Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Ideologues are quick to find a conspiracy, whenever their pet belief ultimately fails. So it is with the renewables cult - accusing mother nature of dishing up “dark doldrums”, or “dunkelflaute” (as the Germans call it) - with seemingly increasing regularity. Cloudy, calm weather is seen as a curse, and the lengthy absence of suitably … Continue reading Renewables Cult Accuse Weather of Conspiring Against Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Why 100% Wind & Solar 100% Guarantees Blackouts and Rocketing Power Prices
No civilised country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar; no country ever will. And yet the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ - being peddled by rent-seekers and crony capitalists - is still taken as an article of faith by the naïve and gullible. What is evident is the direct and unassailable relationship … Continue reading Why 100% Wind & Solar 100% Guarantees Blackouts and Rocketing Power Prices
Why Naturally Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Europeans with any sense have woken up to the fact that the much-touted wind and solar ‘transition’ is a cruel hoax driven by cynical crony capitalists and their political enablers. Driven by starry-eyed ideology, rather than sound engineering and economics, the great ‘green’ reset fell apart because households, businesses and industries aren’t prepared to limit … Continue reading Why Naturally Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Forget About Intermittent Wind & Solar If You Want Power As And When You Need It
As immutable laws, solar output collapses when the sun sets and wind power output collapses when calm weather sets in (and when wind speeds hit gale force and turbines automatically shut down). No amount of spin doctoring, varnishing or linguistic invention can undo them. Rafe Champion builds on those laws with his ‘iron triangle of … Continue reading Forget About Intermittent Wind & Solar If You Want Power As And When You Need It
Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure
Germans were said to be rock-solid supporters of the grand ‘plan’ to run on nothing but wind and solar. Well, not anymore. Faced with Europe’s highest power prices (which are still rising at a staggering clip), routine power rationing and blackouts, the German populous seems to have fallen out of love with the notion of … Continue reading Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure
Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught
Half-a-million Americans are furious at the offshore wind industry for killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins – aka the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. Hundreds of thousands of civic-minded folk are justifiably … Continue reading Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught
Passion & Power: Clever Communities Hate Industrial Wind Power And They Fight Back
Rural communities are fighting back hard against the great wind power fraud, wherever the wind industry seeks to ply its subsidy-soaked trade. Wherever wind farms have appeared – or have been threatened – big numbers of locals take a set against the monsters being speared into their previously peaceful – and often idyllic – rural … Continue reading Passion & Power: Clever Communities Hate Industrial Wind Power And They Fight Back
Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy
The fact that the offshore wind industry is screaming for more subsidies undermines their wilder claims about offshore wind power being ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. The true cost of wind power is staggering – the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical: the latter is more than six times the cost of … Continue reading Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy
