No country that ‘invested’ in wind and solar has ever seen their retail power prices fall. In Europe, wind and solar ‘powered’ Germans and Danes are punished by Europe's highest power prices - around double that paid by the nuclear-powered French. Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia set the benchmark down under for crippling power … Continue reading Power Consumers Become Victims of Suicidal Subsidised Wind & Solar Push

Crippling Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Means Millions of Americans Can’t Afford Power
Claims that wind and solar are cheap, simply don’t add up. Glaring examples such as Germany, Denmark and South Australia tell the tale. Like night follows day, add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid, and power prices are bound to spiral out of control. California led America in the race … Continue reading Crippling Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Means Millions of Americans Can’t Afford Power
‘Ministry of Plenty’ Declares Weather-Driven Power Rationing All For The Greater Good
In Orwell’s 1984, the Ministry of Plenty was quick to herald any positive statistic, however bogus. Standards of living were always rising; as was the production of food, shoelaces and ill-fitting boots. Triumphant announcements were made about the chocolate ration increasing, simultaneously that the ration was, in fact, being reduced. An example of what the … Continue reading ‘Ministry of Plenty’ Declares Weather-Driven Power Rationing All For The Greater Good
New Sustainability Standard: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Thousands of Turbine Blades
As hundreds of thousands of toxic wind turbine blades head for landfills near you, thousands more are being dumped illegally. Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. Last August, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally storing hundreds of wind turbine … Continue reading New Sustainability Standard: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Thousands of Turbine Blades
New-Age Cargo Cult: Why Wind & Solar Push Continues to Deliver ‘Green’ Elephants
A new cargo cult is wedded to the notion that sunshine and breezes is all we need for peace and prosperity. When reality rattles the cult (eg sunset and calm weather), it tells us that a little mythical technology (think giant lithium-ion batteries or ‘green’ hydrogen) is all that stands between us and a veritable … Continue reading New-Age Cargo Cult: Why Wind & Solar Push Continues to Deliver ‘Green’ Elephants
Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter
Electricity is one of those things that is only fully appreciated when a hopeful user is deprived of it. Across Europe, the cultlike fixation on wind and solar has provided precisely the environment in which households and businesses are coming to sense just how important having power as and when they need it, really is. … Continue reading Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter
Transmission Loss: $Billions Squandered Connecting Remote & Intermittent Wind & Solar
Untold $billions are being squandered to connect unreliable, intermittent and diffuse, wind and solar to power grids; grids that were working just fine before the unreliables turned up. The wind and solar industries spear turbines and plaster panels way beyond the back of beyond. Increasingly remote locations for wind and solar generators require serious upgrades … Continue reading Transmission Loss: $Billions Squandered Connecting Remote & Intermittent Wind & Solar
Britain’s Bitter Regret: Inevitable Result of UK’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy
Act in stupid haste and there’s plenty of time to repent in leisure; with the insane renewable energy rush, there comes a veritable lifetime of regret. Britain’s power prices have risen to astronomical levels, thanks to its obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to … Continue reading Britain’s Bitter Regret: Inevitable Result of UK’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy
Enviro-Fraud: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can’t Reduce Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
The greatest fraud in history started with the idea that you can run an economy on sunshine and breezes. Sequentially, inevitably, every myth and lie put forward by renewable energy rent seekers and their shrinking band of acolytes gets busted and exposed. Lines like: wind power is cheaper than coal (it isn’t); the wind is … Continue reading Enviro-Fraud: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can’t Reduce Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
Mystery Solved: Unreliable Wind & Solar Primary Reason For Rocketing Power Prices
That heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar are driving power prices into orbit has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt. No country that ‘invested’ in the unreliables (ie threw $millions in subsidies at wind and solar) has ever seen their retail power prices fall. No, the evidence on that score is all to … Continue reading Mystery Solved: Unreliable Wind & Solar Primary Reason For Rocketing Power Prices
