Germany’s so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar is an unmitigated disaster: power prices have rocketed and more blackouts loom this winter, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Hellbent on self-destruction, the Germans are planning to kill off their last remaining nuclear power plants and are equally determined to axe all of their … Continue reading Germans Brace For Energy Catastrophe: Prices Set to Triple When Nuclear & Coal Plants Close

Staggering Waste: Counting The Obscene Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
There would not be wind or solar industries in the absence of massive and endless subsidies. Those subsidies are either tacked on top of rocketing power bills and paid for by households and businesses; or they are provided in the form of tax credits or rebates to the owners and operators of wind turbines and … Continue reading Staggering Waste: Counting The Obscene Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
Europe’s Epic Renewable Energy Fail Makes Transition to Nuclear Power Truly Inevitable
The fastest way to get people thinking about electricity, is to deprive them of it. Europe’s power pricing and supply calamity has sharpened thinking and provided a golden opportunity for engineers and free-market economists to wrest back control from ideologues and renewable energy rent-seekers. Until the Big Calm hit Western Europe last month - causing … Continue reading Europe’s Epic Renewable Energy Fail Makes Transition to Nuclear Power Truly Inevitable
Mad Max Rides Again: Post-Renewables Europe Desperate For Fossil Fuels
Western Europe’s wind drought has them scrambling for fossil fuels, like their lives depend upon it, and it’s as if they didn’t see it coming! Who would ever have thought that the wind might stop blowing for extended spells? The almost dystopian panic brings to mind George Miller’s post-Apocalypse action-thriller, Mad Max 2. Mel Gibson’s … Continue reading Mad Max Rides Again: Post-Renewables Europe Desperate For Fossil Fuels
Big Fat Liars: Mainstream Media Deliberately Conceal True Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
When it comes to the true cost of wind and solar, most journalists adopt the adage about people believing big lies when they're told the same lie, repeatedly. Every country in the world that’s committed to wind and solar has watched its power prices rocket and their grids become increasingly unreliable and unstable. Ask a … Continue reading Big Fat Liars: Mainstream Media Deliberately Conceal True Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
The Sierra Club reckons wind power is the future, but hundreds of industrial wind projects have been canned across the USA, and plenty more are being quietly withdrawn, thanks to growing community resentment and hostility towards industrial wind power. The only way to prevent industrial wind power from destroying your hitherto peaceful and prosperous community … Continue reading Grand Cover-Up: Sierra Club Conceals American’s Growing Hostility to Wind Power
Not-Zero: China’s Insatiable Demand For Real Energy Sends Coal, Oil & Gas Prices Soaring
The wind and solar cult reckon that coal is already dead and that gas is mortally wounded - energy markets say otherwise: the price of Australian coal has tripled since 2019; and gas and oil prices are off the charts. When it’s freezing cold and there’s not a breath of wind or shred of sunshine … Continue reading Not-Zero: China’s Insatiable Demand For Real Energy Sends Coal, Oil & Gas Prices Soaring
When The Lights Go Out Across Europe: Wind Power Droughts Promise Mass Blackouts
The point has been reached when serious people are starting to talk seriously about serious power generation. Europe has been struck by an outbreak of calm weather and its wind power output has, predictably enough, plummeted. The disaster unfolding across the continent is like watching the same train wreck, over and over, again. The idea … Continue reading When The Lights Go Out Across Europe: Wind Power Droughts Promise Mass Blackouts
Rotten Culture Club: Court Case Shows Wind Industry Fuelled By Subsidies, Lies & Deceit
A Supreme Court wind turbine noise nuisance case has revealed a whole lot more than the wind industry would have liked. The case being pursued by farmers in the Victorian Supreme Court against the operator of the Bald Hills wind farm (see our post here) has already uncovered the fact that the wind farm operator’s … Continue reading Rotten Culture Club: Court Case Shows Wind Industry Fuelled By Subsidies, Lies & Deceit
Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
California’s wind power proponents promised a clean, green future - instead, they’ve delivered a wholesale environmental disaster. In the desert surrounding Ocotillo, locals have been putting up with wind turbines self-immolating, throwing their blades in all directions, leaking and spraying oil and collapsing to the desert floor, for years now (see our post here). Here’s … Continue reading Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
