Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. The cancer started in wind and solar obsessed South Australia; renowned for Australia’s highest retail power prices and its most unreliable power delivery. But the disease soon spread, which is not surprising given that it all started with the Federal government’s … Continue reading Emergency Response: Wind & Solar Debacle Forces Government to Build Gas-Fired Power Plants

People Power: American Communities Unite to Oppose Industrial Wind Power
The only people not opposed to wind power are those who have no idea about the greatest fraud of all time or those who do, with serious skin in the game. Community division follows every wind farm proposal and the hostility soon spreads. Fed up with the liars and charlatans who front wind power outfits, … Continue reading People Power: American Communities Unite to Oppose Industrial Wind Power
Follow The Money: How Texas Squandered $66 Billion on Unreliable Wind & Solar
When wind and solar output plummeted during America’s big freeze, rent seekers and acolytes shrugged and blamed conservative ideologues, fossil fuels and Trump. None of which had anything at all to do with millions of solar panels plastered thick in snow and ice, or thousands of wind turbines frozen solid with the balance producing practically … Continue reading Follow The Money: How Texas Squandered $66 Billion on Unreliable Wind & Solar
Out of Gas: Grannies Freeze As Wind & Solar Obsessed Government Bans Gas Use
Delusional reliance on wind and solar, combined with a hatred of natural gas will see hundreds of elderly and vulnerable Victorians freeze to death, in the years to come. Unable to supply electricity as and when Victorians need it - power rationing is now a feature of daily life when peak demand combines with sunset … Continue reading Out of Gas: Grannies Freeze As Wind & Solar Obsessed Government Bans Gas Use
Offshore Wind Power All at Sea: Danish Wind Farm Operator Suffers Massive Financial Losses
Apart from literally burning cash, there is no faster way to squander money than by piling it into an offshore wind power project. It’s hardly news that the true cost of generating electricity using wind power is staggering; the cost of doing so offshore is astronomical. Instead of producing ‘free’ energy with purportedly ‘endless’ sea breezes, offshore … Continue reading Offshore Wind Power All at Sea: Danish Wind Farm Operator Suffers Massive Financial Losses
Fantasyland Fiction: Batteries Will Never Solve Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
For almost a century, electricity generation and distribution were treated as a tightly integrated system: it was designed and built as one, and is meant to operate as designed. However, the chaotic delivery of wind and solar have all but trashed the electricity generation and delivery system, as we know it. Germany, South Australia, Texas … Continue reading Fantasyland Fiction: Batteries Will Never Solve Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
Dashed Hopes: Wind & Solar Acolytes Horrified by Great Renewables-to-Hydrogen-Gas Hoax
Delusional, sure, but wind and solar worshippers are not altogether stupid. At least some of them have worked out that the ‘renewables-to-hydrogen’ story is an enormous hoax. The true eco-loon wants to do away with fossil fuels, and the sooner the better. However, it’s just dawned on them that hydrogen gas is just another fuel … Continue reading Dashed Hopes: Wind & Solar Acolytes Horrified by Great Renewables-to-Hydrogen-Gas Hoax
‘Green’ Monster: Biden’s Wind Power Plan Destroys Offshore Fisheries & Threatens Endangered Whales
Joe Biden and his Squad of wind worshipping lunatics are hellbent on destroying the livelihoods of America’s Atlantic fishermen, and much more besides. Endangered Right Whales are in the gun, as well. [Note to Ed: remember when lefties used to exhort us to Save the Whales?] Big spending Biden wants to squander untold $billions of … Continue reading ‘Green’ Monster: Biden’s Wind Power Plan Destroys Offshore Fisheries & Threatens Endangered Whales
Massive Subsidies For Wind & Solar ‘Industries’: The Never, Never, Never-Ending Story
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 over 37 years ago. And there was no lack of assistance in the form … Continue reading Massive Subsidies For Wind & Solar ‘Industries’: The Never, Never, Never-Ending Story
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Amount to Serious Power Sources
Calm weather, sunset and the impossibility of economically storing electricity at grid scale, render wind and solar practically useless. For every MW of wind and solar capacity there has to be an equal MW of dispatchable generation capacity somewhere in the system, to allow the grid to function without total collapse. The inherent and chaotic … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Amount to Serious Power Sources
