As Germany scrambles to secure the gas needed to prevent their wind and solar ‘powered’ grid from total collapse, Vladimir Putin is laughing all the way to the bank. And the Russians aren’t the only ones profiting from the West’s maniacal obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. China - with plenty of unwilling assistance … Continue reading China & Russia Profit From West’s Ludicrous Obsession With Unreliable Wind and Solar

Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Anyone looking for a taste of what the ‘transition’ to wind and solar might look like, need look no further than Europe. The best (worst) examples, Germany and the UK are in the middle of self-inflicted energy debacles, with many of their neighbours not far behind. Mass wind droughts - that lasted months at the … Continue reading Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Worthless Wind & Solar: Once Again Output Totally Collapses During Freezing Weather
Keen to survive when dead-calm, freezing weather sets in? You’d better have access to nuclear or fossil-fuelled power sources, simply because wind and solar generators are bound to deliver absolutely nothing, at all. Texans and Germans know all about it. Now, Canadians are getting a taste of what it is when you pin your daily … Continue reading Worthless Wind & Solar: Once Again Output Totally Collapses During Freezing Weather
Not Green: Offshore Wind ‘Industry’ Destroying Fishing Grounds, Birds & Marine Life
Taking wind turbines out to sea not only escalates the cost of the occasional power they produce, it destroys coastal landscapes, birds and other marine life. Millions of birds of battered out of existence by these things every year. And offshore turbines are driving puffins and other threatened species to the brink of extinction. Wind … Continue reading Not Green: Offshore Wind ‘Industry’ Destroying Fishing Grounds, Birds & Marine Life
The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
Here’s the news: wind power critically depends upon the wind, without which there ain’t no wind power. Simples. Beyond seven days meteorologists are little more than glorified soothsayers when it comes to predicting the weather. How many times do we see revised forecasts given the day before, when only a week before that, the maximum … Continue reading The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
Forever Subsidised: America’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Biggest Fear Is Real Competition
Profiteering wind and solar rent-seekers have only one real fear in the electricity market: actual competition. Claims from renewable energy profiteers that wind and solar are truly competitive with nuclear, coal or gas evaporate the instant policymakers start talking about removing subsidies to wind and solar. Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed … Continue reading Forever Subsidised: America’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Biggest Fear Is Real Competition
Brace For Blackouts: World’s Reliance On Unreliable Wind & Solar Spells Energy Disaster
Topping the list of things that seemed like a good idea at the time sits wind and solar power. What, with the energy sources that drive them free and natural; with no visible emissions of spent gas or fumes; with their shiny panels harvesting the sun’s rays and delivering electricity for five or six hours … Continue reading Brace For Blackouts: World’s Reliance On Unreliable Wind & Solar Spells Energy Disaster
Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered
Wind power never adds up: it doesn’t matter how many turbines carpet your horizons, in calm weather total output always amounts to nothing. For sheer density, the Germans win hands down, with more than 30,000 of these things carpeted across Deutschland’s rural landscapes and, once pristine, forests. And yet, from late September, through October and … Continue reading Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered
Landslide Decision: Communities Call For End to Wind Industry’s Environmental Destruction
The cowboys behind wind power outfits couldn’t care less whether they destroy your property values or simply destroy your property. Cutting engineering corners and avoiding planning regulations is all in a day’s work. The results are plain for neighbours to see: wanton habitat and environmental destruction, all in the name of ‘saving the planet’, of … Continue reading Landslide Decision: Communities Call For End to Wind Industry’s Environmental Destruction
Let Them Freeze: Wind & Solar Generators Couldn’t Care Less About Your Welfare
The wind and solar industries couldn’t care less whether you freeze to death when winter bites across the northern hemisphere and wind and solar output collapse. Solar panels plastered in snow and ice produce nothing; wind turbines frozen solid during breathless, frigid weather produce even less (they actually consume power from the grid to run … Continue reading Let Them Freeze: Wind & Solar Generators Couldn’t Care Less About Your Welfare
