Oh yes, they’re the great pretenders: useless in calm weather or after the sun goes down, wind and solar can never really compete with coal, nuclear or gas. And anyone trying to convince you otherwise, ought to be gently encouraged to seek psychiatric help. Especially after America’s big freeze left millions of wind and solar … Continue reading The Great Pretenders: Intermittent Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with Coal & Gas & Nuclear

Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
Identifying the full value of subsidies to wind and solar, has been like a game of hide and seek. Whether it’s renewable energy certificates, production tax credits, preferential access to the power grid, over-the-market government guaranteed contracts, or the hidden costs of the cash penalties attached to government mandates and targets, the wind and solar … Continue reading Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
Biden’s Blackout Nation: ‘Green’ New Deal Promises More Time Freezing or Boiling in the Dark
Sitting freezing or boiling in the dark provides a moment to consider where one’s electricity comes from. Californians, South Australian and now Texans have all enjoyed the experience, one way or another. The common thread, of course, is an obsession with sunshine-dependent solar and/or weather-dependent wind power. The belief that we’re just a heartbeat (and … Continue reading Biden’s Blackout Nation: ‘Green’ New Deal Promises More Time Freezing or Boiling in the Dark
Wind Power Fail: Britain’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Keep The Lights On During ‘Big Calm’
If having no power at all was the object of our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and solar ‘powered’ future, then we’re well on our way. The bitter northern hemisphere winter just gone, has shown wind and solar for what they are: pointless and expensive vanity projects, that only a lunatic would promote and … Continue reading Wind Power Fail: Britain’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Keep The Lights On During ‘Big Calm’
German Hi-Tech Firms Driven Offshore By Unaffordable & Unreliable Renewable Energy
‘Net zero’ is precisely the number of meaningful jobs that’ll be left after our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future. Looking for an example? Look no further than the wind and solar acolyte’s pinup girl, Germany. Notwithstanding billions of euros in subsidies, courageous mandates and punitive targets, its Energiewende has failed … Continue reading German Hi-Tech Firms Driven Offshore By Unaffordable & Unreliable Renewable Energy
Hide & Seek: The Staggering Cost of Offshore Wind Power Revealed
Renewable energy rent seekers and their propagandists are diligent in their efforts to hide the true costs of wind power from the punters. Their smoke and mirrors ‘accounting’ religiously ignores the cost of providing power from a meaningful source, whenever calm weather sets in. And their ‘wind power is cheapest of all’ claims always gloss … Continue reading Hide & Seek: The Staggering Cost of Offshore Wind Power Revealed
Renewables Rethink: Americans Ready to Reject Wind & Solar After Big Freeze Blackouts
All of a sudden, everyone’s talking about wind and solar, and the chatter ain’t positive. Solar panels carpeted in inches of snow and ice; wind turbines frozen solid; and breathless, frigid weather led to total collapses in wind and solar output across central USA. Millions of notionally wind and solar ‘powered’ Texans copped the worst … Continue reading Renewables Rethink: Americans Ready to Reject Wind & Solar After Big Freeze Blackouts
Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Brits are already paying the price for its suicidal renewable energy policies. Under ‘Bonkers’ Boris that price will be positively murderous. His plan to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on subsidies and over-the-market contracts for intermittent offshore wind power beggars belief. And will turn many on the lower … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
TOTALLY GUILTY!!: Total Wind & Solar Power Collapses Responsible For Texan Blackouts
After America’s big freeze and the blackouts that followed, wind and solar acolytes are struggling to explain away the hard numbers, yet again. On 16-17 February - with hundreds of wind turbines frozen solid during breathless, freezing weather - Texan wind power output was a paltry 2% of installed capacity (see above and below). Solar … Continue reading TOTALLY GUILTY!!: Total Wind & Solar Power Collapses Responsible For Texan Blackouts
Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
Nothing invokes rage and fury in rural communities like a wind farm comprising dozens and sometimes hundreds of 300 tonne, 200-270m high industrial monstrosities. Western Victoria has been overrun with these things; once peaceful pastoral properties are encircled by them, and drowned in a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency turbine noise. The wind industry and … Continue reading Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
