The renewable energy cult raves about the ‘inevitable transition’, pointing to Germany as the shining example, which it is, if your point is that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will inevitably drive power prices through the roof and leave hopeful power consumers freezing in the dark. No country went harder and faster … Continue reading Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark

‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, it’s probably time to listen. When we posted this story – Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’ – in February last year, listen they did – that post went viral with over 45,000 hits. Where … Continue reading ‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
‘Green’ Energy Rip-Off: Consumers Paying Double For Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Sunset and calm weather mean wind and solar can and will never replace conventional power generators. By ‘conventional’ we mean coal, gas, nuclear and, where geography and geology permit, stored hydro and geothermal power. Show a picture like the one above – the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (with … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Rip-Off: Consumers Paying Double For Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
False Dawn: On The Hollow Promise Of An All Wind & Solar Powered Future
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 36 years ago. There has been no lack of assistance in the form of … Continue reading False Dawn: On The Hollow Promise Of An All Wind & Solar Powered Future
Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
Renewable energy rent-seekers have been furiously peddling the myth that mega-batteries were a free and easy solution to the hopeless intermittency of weather-dependent wind and solar. The line goes that giant banks of lithium ion cells can store ‘free and abundant’ wind and solar power, whenever the sun is up and the wind is … Continue reading Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
Scorched Earth Policy: Entire Forests Being Clear-Felled To Make Way For Mega-Wind Turbines
In one breath the wind industry and its acolytes talk about “saving the planet”, in the next they’re destroying it, wholesale. Millions of birds, bats and bugs are being wiped out with impunity. And millions of acres of forest have been treated with the same malicious contempt. In Scotland, since 2000, the wind industry has … Continue reading Scorched Earth Policy: Entire Forests Being Clear-Felled To Make Way For Mega-Wind Turbines
Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Virtue signalling with heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar power comes with a staggering cost. Ask a virtue signalling victim from Germany, Denmark or South Australia where wind and solar obsessions have left them paying world’s highest power prices. Like the aforementioned, Ontario is another place where ideologues destroyed a perfectly reliable and … Continue reading Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Power prices have rocketed and businesses and whole industries are under threat, thanks to a political obsession with intermittent wind and solar. And their unreliable and chaotic delivery also threatens to destroy the power grid that connects Australia’s Eastern States. If Australia was looking to de-industrialise, then squandering $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to wind and … Continue reading Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Wind Farm Wars: Farmers Pursue Wind Developer for $Millions In Supreme Court Noise Nuisance Class Action
The wind industry is on the defensive as the number of nuisance cases being pursued by noise affected neighbours mounts. In Victoria, it all started at a place called Bald Hills with a lawyer named Dominica Tannock – and her firm, DST Legal: Litigation Breakout: Victorian Wind Farm Neighbours Pursuing $Millions from Wind Developers for Noise … Continue reading Wind Farm Wars: Farmers Pursue Wind Developer for $Millions In Supreme Court Noise Nuisance Class Action
Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
Whether it’s 50% or 100% as the wind and solar target, the reality strikes after sunset on a breathless evening, when neither are contributing anything at all. As NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham puts it, the concept of an inevitable transition from coal to sunshine and breezes - being peddled by Labor as rock … Continue reading Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
