Europe’s persistent and ongoing wind drought spells the end for never-reliable wind power and the renaissance of ever-reliable nuclear. As a consequence of the Big Calm and a total collapse in wind power output across Western Europe and the UK, the Brits have now enlisted Rolls Royce to build a fleet of small modular reactors. … Continue reading Wind Power ‘Droughts’ Mean Nuclear Power Key To Neutralising Net-Zero Madness

Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
Energy Matters: Why Wind & Solar Make Trivial Contribution to World’s Energy Needs
Notwithstanding the $billions in subsidies directed to wind and solar, their joint contribution to energy demand amounts to little more than a rounding error. Oil and gas still account for more than 80% of world energy demand and talk about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future, remains just that. Energy … Continue reading Energy Matters: Why Wind & Solar Make Trivial Contribution to World’s Energy Needs
Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
Economics is about using scarce resources to meet insatiable wants; in contrast wind and solar devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Diffuse, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources – because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. However, as a source of insatiable … Continue reading Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
Fat Cat Shakedown: Crony Capitalists Begging Governments for $Billions for ‘Green’ Hydrogen
Crony capitalists are begging for massive taxpayer-backed subsidies to produce ‘green’ hydrogen gas using wind and solar as a way of converting useless, unpredictable and unreliable electricity into something that might be used as and when consumers need it; rather than something that depends on the whims of mother nature. The majority of hydrogen available … Continue reading Fat Cat Shakedown: Crony Capitalists Begging Governments for $Billions for ‘Green’ Hydrogen
French Resistance: Couple Collect €100,000 In Damages For Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
The grinding, thumping cacophony generated by giant industrial wind turbines delivers wholly unnecessary misery worldwide. Sleep deprivation is first among the list of adverse health effects caused by these things and the pulsing low-frequency noise they generate. The wind industry has fought tooth and nail to avoid the consequences of the harm it dishes out, … Continue reading French Resistance: Couple Collect €100,000 In Damages For Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance
Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Europe’s great wind drought continues, unabated. Adding to the wind industry’s woes, its claims that offshore wind power is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time have been totally torched - again. Over the last two years, Andrew Montford has been keeping a close eye on the financial reports produced by the UK’s offshore wind … Continue reading Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Add intermittent wind and solar to a power grid and crippling power prices follow, as night follows day. When power generation and delivery was in the hands of engineers, coal and gas-fired plants ran efficiently and costs were low. Now that ideology reigns instead, and lunatics are firmly in charge of the asylum, the efficient … Continue reading Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Bloody Expensive: Counting Staggering True Cost of Worthless Wind Power
Wind power has no economic value simply because it cannot be delivered as and when power consumers need it. Hence the massive and seemingly endless subsidies to a power source which is meaningless and, accordingly, worthless. In the absence of subsidies, there would be no wind industry, at all. But worthless does not mean ‘cheap’ … Continue reading Bloody Expensive: Counting Staggering True Cost of Worthless Wind Power
Nobody’s Fools: Angry Locals Reject Wind Power Outfit’s Massive Cash-For-Silence Deal
No one in their right mind sells their souls, but that’s what wind developers attempt to purchase on a daily basis. Leases with farmers who ‘host’ the turbines and so-called “good neighbour” agreements with their neighbours who would otherwise suffer the torment from incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound without any compensation for their … Continue reading Nobody’s Fools: Angry Locals Reject Wind Power Outfit’s Massive Cash-For-Silence Deal
