Scotland’s energy policy was hijacked by lunatics and the canny Scot, renowned for their parsimony, is paying a very heavy price, indeed. The subsidies paid to wind power outfits have been colossal; and all that state-mandated largess is being tacked onto Scottish power bills and/or picked up by taxpayers, south of the border. One of … Continue reading Post Modern Power: Scots Face Whopping Bill For Government’s Wind Power Obsession

Outrageous: French Company Destroying Battlefield Graves With Giant Wind Turbines
The efforts by wind power outfits to desecrate the battlefield graves of thousands who died in France are nothing short of outrageous. Quite rightly, historians and the relatives and descendants of those who died fighting to protect French lives and liberty are furious as a French wind power outfit literally rips up a battlefield … Continue reading Outrageous: French Company Destroying Battlefield Graves With Giant Wind Turbines
Overhyped: Europe’s Largest RE Battery Can Power Britain For 60 Seconds When Wind Power Fails
The hyperbole that greets the announcement of another giant battery is like the toxic plume they give off when they explode in flames. And, as we recently reported, that’s an increasingly likely occurrence: Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire At a loss to deal with the hopeless and chaotic … Continue reading Overhyped: Europe’s Largest RE Battery Can Power Britain For 60 Seconds When Wind Power Fails
Renewables ‘Transition’ Hits Roadblock: Germans Vote 25 to 1 to Reject Giant Wind Power Project
When given the choice, no rational human being would ever welcome giant industrial wind turbines in their community, let alone agree to have these things speared quite literally into their backyards. Even farmers paid $millions to host them, hate the grinding thumping cacophony they produce: SA Farmers Paid $1 Million to Host 19 Turbines Tell … Continue reading Renewables ‘Transition’ Hits Roadblock: Germans Vote 25 to 1 to Reject Giant Wind Power Project
Fake News: Tasmania’s 200% Renewable Energy Vanity Project, 100% Dependent on Coal-Fired Power from Victoria
The renewable energy zealot is all care and no responsibility. Claims that the world can run on sunshine and breezes and become “100% renewable” have been outdone by Tasmania with its claim that it will soon be 200% renewable. But, dig a little deeper, and the 200% claim is just as hollow as the … Continue reading Fake News: Tasmania’s 200% Renewable Energy Vanity Project, 100% Dependent on Coal-Fired Power from Victoria
The Great Wind Delusion: Why Wind Power Is Worse Than Useless
The notion that a nation can run on sunshine and breezes is worse than delusional, it’s flat out dangerous. Once resilient and reliable electricity generation and delivery systems designed around the certitude of coal, gas and hydro have been replaced by pure and utter, weather driven chaos. Rapid and reactionary load shedding (“demand management”) and … Continue reading The Great Wind Delusion: Why Wind Power Is Worse Than Useless
“Juice: How Electricity Explains The World” or ‘Why Economic Development Depends on Reliable & Affordable Power’
Want to know how important electricity is to modern life? Try living a comfortable and civilised life without it. More than a billion humans struggle through daily life without access to power at all, and two billion more are limited to a meagre trickle, because in developing countries it's both unreliable and too expensive for … Continue reading “Juice: How Electricity Explains The World” or ‘Why Economic Development Depends on Reliable & Affordable Power’
Crazytown: German Professor’s Solution to Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency: More Wind & Solar!
Our good friends, logic and reason have taken a pounding from wind and solar obsessed renewable energy rent seekers and zealots over the years. For the best part of 20 years, they’ve been trying to convince us that wind and solar are reliable, affordable and as safe as houses. If you’re looking for a singular … Continue reading Crazytown: German Professor’s Solution to Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency: More Wind & Solar!
Crushed: Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with America’s Cheap & Ever Reliable Gas-Fired Power
America’s abundant gas supplies mean gas-fired power is cheaper than wind and solar and, unlike that pathetic pair, it’s available 24 x 365, whatever the weather or time-of-day. The USA awash with cheap gas, thanks to the shale oil and gas revolution that started 20 years ago. With improving technology and numerous firms drilling for … Continue reading Crushed: Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with America’s Cheap & Ever Reliable Gas-Fired Power
Toxic Truth: Millions Of Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined For Landfills
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ are barely out of nappies, and yet they’re already responsible for a smorgasbord of toxic waste. The magnets in wind turbine generators are made from neodymium and dysprosium, rare earth minerals mined almost exclusively in China, which controls 95 percent of the world’s supply of rare earth minerals. The … Continue reading Toxic Truth: Millions Of Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined For Landfills
