Real Energy Rules: Germans Shred Wind Farm To Expand Critical Coal Supplies

Germans apparently aren't keen on freezing in the dark, so they’ve started trashing wind turbines to expand the coal supplies that prevent that kind of misery. There are more than 30,000 wind turbines spread across Deutschland, with thousands more off the German coast. Notwithstanding brave talk about killing off their coal-fired power plants, made redundant … Continue reading Real Energy Rules: Germans Shred Wind Farm To Expand Critical Coal Supplies

All At Sea: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Cans Projects Deemed No Longer Viable

Offshore wind power outfits are struggling to get their projects off the ground, notwithstanding the massive subsidies they’ve been able to gouge out of America’s taxpayers. The cost of offshore wind power is astronomical; more than six times the cost of gas-fired power which is, of course, available around-the-clock, regardless of the weather. The operating … Continue reading All At Sea: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Cans Projects Deemed No Longer Viable

Just Another Billionaire Hypocrite: Australia’s Twiggy Forrest Committed Andean Condor Killer

Blowhard billionaires eager to squander taxpayer’s money are a dime a dozen, hypocrites like Australia’s Twiggy Forrest, who made his $billions from digging up large parts of Western Australia and selling it to the Chinese, among others. Buoyed by record iron ore prices and rising demand, his ambitions have turned to the renewable energy scam, … Continue reading Just Another Billionaire Hypocrite: Australia’s Twiggy Forrest Committed Andean Condor Killer

Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas

Any enquiring mind has already rumbled the fact that the grand wind and solar reset is a great ‘green’ fraud. Wind turbines, solar panels and mythical mega-batteries require more energy to produce than they’ll ever repay. Miners love it, of course, with the insatiable demand that’s been generated by delusional autocrats and cynical rent-seekers. Although, … Continue reading Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas

Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work

It doesn't take a genius to connect calm weather with total collapses in wind power output. Even the functionally illiterate have the capacity to understand just how incapable wind power is of delivering power on demand. For example, depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work

Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)

South Australia’s infamous Statewide blackout on 28 September 2016 was caused by wind turbines that couldn’t handle a vigorous spring storm front. Wind speeds exceeded 25m/s (90km/h), which meant turbines at the bulk of its (then 18) wind farms shut down automatically to protect themselves from catastrophic self-destruction. Metropolitan Adelaide was without power for hours, … Continue reading Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)

Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar

Renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time, but notionally wind-powered Germans, Danes, Californians and South Australians might beg to differ; they already suffer the world's highest retail power prices, with worse to come. Nowhere in the world is there … Continue reading Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar

COP27 That!: African Leaders Reject ‘Renewables Reset’ & Press For Fossil-Fuelled Future

Once again, well-fed cynical Western elites are berating developing countries about their energy use, hoping to prevent them from using the very sources that drove the Industrial Revolution and dragged millions of Europeans out of agrarian poverty, two centuries ago. Pontificating windbags are railing against the prospect of real development in the poorer parts of … Continue reading COP27 That!: African Leaders Reject ‘Renewables Reset’ & Press For Fossil-Fuelled Future

Wind & Solar Wipeout: Reliable & Affordable Power Now Part of Ancient History

Pretty soon, the notion of having affordable power available on demand will be ancient history. Never before in the course of human existence have so few done so much damage to so many. Electricity prices are spiralling out of control in any place attempting to run on sunshine and breezes, power rationing (aka ‘demand management’) … Continue reading Wind & Solar Wipeout: Reliable & Affordable Power Now Part of Ancient History

Wicked Waste: Nothing to Show From $3.8 Trillion Squandered On Intermittent Wind & Solar

The wild claims about wind and solar replacing, coal, gas and nuclear power don’t stand first contact with reality. Over the last 20 years, trillions of dollars have been squandered on subsidies, tax breaks, mandates, penalties, and other state-directed efforts to make chaotically intermittent wind and solar serious contenders on the world energy scene. Their … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Nothing to Show From $3.8 Trillion Squandered On Intermittent Wind & Solar
