Pin your energy hopes on the weather and prepare for disappointment. Sunset is a real thing; calm and/or cloudy weather is a real thing. And grid scale storage of wind and solar power is a total myth. In support of each of those propositions we give you the State of California. A place renowned over … Continue reading Renewable Energy Reckoning: Wind & Solar Power Obsession Leaves Millions of Californians Sweltering In The Dark

System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare
In a ‘don’t say we told you so moment’, wind and solar obsessed California has just suffered another run of weather induced mass blackouts. Like clockwork, wind power output collapsed just as the summer heat and demand for electricity rose - leaving a million or more Californians sweltering in the dark. Anyone wondering what an … Continue reading System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare
Intermittent Wind Power Simply Can’t Match Ever-Reliable Steam Power – It Never Has & Never Will
Wind power acolytes are a strange bunch; bereft of reason and logic and completely out of touch with the history of human development. Modern, civilised society critically depends on having affordable electricity, available around-the-clock, whatever the weather. Successfully harnessing thermal power was the technical breakthrough that literally sparked the Industrial Revolution. Millions were dragged out … Continue reading Intermittent Wind Power Simply Can’t Match Ever-Reliable Steam Power – It Never Has & Never Will
For Peat’s Sake: CO2 Emissions Rise as Wind Turbines Destroy Europe’s Ancient Bog Lands
Endless subsidies for wind turbines are said to be justified by the CO2 emissions they purportedly save. Europe’s peat bogs - natural CO2 sinks - are being ripped up, drained and destroyed to make way for these things, all in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions. Gouging 30m deep pits and filling them with 400-500 … Continue reading For Peat’s Sake: CO2 Emissions Rise as Wind Turbines Destroy Europe’s Ancient Bog Lands
Shovels Ready: China’s Rare Earth Processors Can’t Wait for Democrats New ‘Green’ Deal
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Green-left’s favourite flibbertigibbet. Her New Green Deal, with its promise of 100% wind and solar delivering power for all, for free and for all time, should have been dismissed as fairytale nonsense, long ago. However, there are plenty of pixie dream girls and boys happy to suck it up, like there’s … Continue reading Shovels Ready: China’s Rare Earth Processors Can’t Wait for Democrats New ‘Green’ Deal
Massive Push For Coal & Nuclear Power Proves China’s Wind Power Investment All For Show
Inscrutable as ever, the Chinese pay plenty of lip service to unreliable wind and solar, but it’s coal and nuclear that are really powering the Middle Kingdom. China’s investment in new coal and nuclear power plants absolutely dwarfs spending on intermittent wind and solar. Indeed, as Dr John Constable details below, the pace of investment … Continue reading Massive Push For Coal & Nuclear Power Proves China’s Wind Power Investment All For Show
Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Industry Keeps On Failing to Deliver the Goods
Over the last few months, the output from Australia’s wind power fleet has not only been erratic, it’s been utterly pathetic. Any other enterprise that delivered its goods on such a haphazard, sporadic and chaotic basis would be laughed out of town. But not the wind industry. No, instead, its inherent unreliability is being rewarded … Continue reading Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Industry Keeps On Failing to Deliver the Goods
Digging It: Mines, Minerals, and “Green” Energy: A Reality Check
It takes audacity to suggest that the wholesale environmental destruction wreaked by the wind and solar industries is all for the good of planet. Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans managed to lift the lid on green hypocrisy, focusing on the raft of inconvenient truths behind the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. Such as … Continue reading Digging It: Mines, Minerals, and “Green” Energy: A Reality Check
Worse Than Worthless: Intermittent Wind & Solar Cost A Fortune, But Have No True Value
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it, has no commercial value. Sure, the wind might be ‘free’ and the Sun may never send an invoice to solar panel owners, but wind and solar power are readily the most expensive way of generating chaotically intermittent electricity, known to man. And the … Continue reading Worse Than Worthless: Intermittent Wind & Solar Cost A Fortune, But Have No True Value
Wicked Waste: Why Every New Wind Turbine Built Is Costing You Serious Money
Adding wind turbines to a power grid is like pushing on string; the effort applied rarely matches the output at the other end of the line. Australia has one the world’s largest interconnected grids, covering Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia - with wind turbines plastered far and wide across every one of … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Why Every New Wind Turbine Built Is Costing You Serious Money
