Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was 39 years ago. Over that span of time, there has been no lack of … Continue reading After 40 Years Of Massive Subsidies Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Begging For More

Utopian Fantasyland: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Total Delusion Being Sold By Total Fools
The West’s obsession with the unreliables, wind and solar was guaranteed to end in tears - the weather-driven power rationing and rocketing power prices were as perfectly predictable, as they were perfectly avoidable. Every country that has hitched its energy future to sunshine and breezes is facing both a power pricing and supply calamity. Wind … Continue reading Utopian Fantasyland: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Total Delusion Being Sold By Total Fools
Time to Ditch Meaningless Medieval Wind Power & Embrace Modern Nuclear Power
Wind power was abandoned centuries ago, for pretty obvious reasons, known to kite flyers and sailors, since the beginning of time. Sure, in medieval times, when there was no alternative, harnessing nature’s energy make sense. But not now. It was coal that dragged Europe out of the Dark Ages, by providing around-the-clock power, not windmills. … Continue reading Time to Ditch Meaningless Medieval Wind Power & Embrace Modern Nuclear Power
Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when households and businesses need it, has absolutely no commercial value. Hence the massive and endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and the punitive mandates that force retailers to take it, ahead of the reliable and affordable stuff. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output … Continue reading Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
The failure to advance nuclear power in this country to replace coal-fired plants being driven out of business by massive subsidies to wind and solar beggars belief. Everyone with half a brain is alive to the fact that chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are responsible for Australia's power pricing and supply calamity Australian households … Continue reading Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Demand Control: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Routine State-Controlled Power Rationing
Delusional reliance on unreliable wind and solar is a reason that governments are interfering in consumers’ power usage. Pitched under the euphemism “demand management”, state-controlled power rationing is the natural consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. When the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought … Continue reading Demand Control: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Routine State-Controlled Power Rationing
Reality Bites: Germany’s Wind & Solar Transition Declared Abject Failure
The German government’s cultish obsession with wind and solar is a mixture of wishful thinking and mass delusion. Both have collided with reality as Vlad Putin continues to put the squeeze on Europe’s gas supplies - gas which has been used to run the banks of fast-start-up gas turbines essential to backing up mammoth, sudden … Continue reading Reality Bites: Germany’s Wind & Solar Transition Declared Abject Failure
Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
If climate change is a problem, then wind turbines and solar panels aren’t a solution: heavily subsidised and unreliable wind and solar are an economic and environmental disaster. When climate alarmists managed to hijack energy (and with it economic) policy it was a case of lunatics taking over the asylum. In every breath, they exhort … Continue reading Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
Chasing The ‘Green’ Energy Dream: Or ‘How I Wasted 20 Years of My Life’
Plenty start out as fans of wind and solar power and turn against it, but it's hard to find opponents who later become supporters. Present the facts to reasonable people, and they’ll want to know how the wind and solar scam got started in the first place and why it hasn’t been stopped in its … Continue reading Chasing The ‘Green’ Energy Dream: Or ‘How I Wasted 20 Years of My Life’
No ‘Right’ Place: Industrial Wind Turbines Don’t Belong In ANYONE’S Backyard
As wind turbines are incapable of generating power on demand and wouldn’t last a second without massive subsidies, there is no ‘right’ place for them. Any power generation source that can’t deliver electricity on demand is pointless, so talk about appropriate siting is pure nonsense. Why bother? Rent seekers and crony capitalists are the only … Continue reading No ‘Right’ Place: Industrial Wind Turbines Don’t Belong In ANYONE’S Backyard
