During the recent Big Freeze, thousands of Texan wind turbines were frozen solid, incapacitated by burst of frigid winter conditions. Dead calm weather meant that those that weren’t frozen stiff, added practically nothing to the grid. While the internal workings of wind turbines (gearboxes, generators, yaw and blade pitch controls) can be kept operable with … Continue reading Not Cool: Another Reason to Reject Unreliable Wind Power – Iced Up Blades Totally Disables Turbines

‘Inevitable Transition’: Get Ready For the Insane Cost of Attempting to Rely on Wind & Solar
Want rocketing power prices and an unreliable supply? Then, subsidised wind and solar is just made for you. The very point of subsidies to wind and solar is to knock reliable, dispatchable generation sources, out of the game. In wind and solar obsessed South Australia, that’s already occurred, with a vengeance: it blew up its … Continue reading ‘Inevitable Transition’: Get Ready For the Insane Cost of Attempting to Rely on Wind & Solar
Dark Future: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Learning to Live Without Power When You Need It
If you thought the ‘transition’ to wind and solar meant having power on demand, think again. Like the fine print on an insurance contract, the ‘deal’ being offered by renewable energy rent seekers comes with a nasty catch. When the chips are down, you simply won’t be covered. While wind and solar acolytes are keen … Continue reading Dark Future: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Learning to Live Without Power When You Need It
Let’s Get Serious: Net-Zero CO2 Emissions Means 100% Nuclear Power
Left to weather obsessed lunatics, we’d all be left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. And were not talking about the pasty-faced ghouls who glue themselves to roads. No, the people who can do the most damage are those with real skin in the game. The latest wheeze is the push for eliminating carbon … Continue reading Let’s Get Serious: Net-Zero CO2 Emissions Means 100% Nuclear Power
Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
Wind power’s proven inability to deliver the goods when it counts has been on show in the last few months. Much to the horror of the wind cult, renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers. Total wind power output collapses in Germany and across America’s midwest, have drawn focus on just how useless … Continue reading Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators
After Texas’s big freeze exposed wind and solar as total failures, the wind and solar cult have been left licking their wounds. Although, to their credit, they have active despite their injured feelings, viciously blaming everything except the 5G network for the mass blackouts that followed total collapses in wind and solar output. The hard … Continue reading Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators
‘Green’ Killing Machines: Eagle Slaughtering 50-60m Wind Turbine Blades Perfect Apex Predator
Those running ‘interference’ for the wind industry claim wind turbines couldn’t harm a fly, let alone kill birds of any consequence. Apparently having no experience of apex predators like Eagles, Kites, Hawks and Falcons, the wind cultist/apologist/propagandist asserts that more birds are killed by flying into windows or being struck by cars, than their beloved … Continue reading ‘Green’ Killing Machines: Eagle Slaughtering 50-60m Wind Turbine Blades Perfect Apex Predator
No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof
Rocketing power prices and grid instability are two inescapable consequences of subsidised wind and solar. While sunshine and breezes might be free, attempting to run your power system using nature’s gifts, brings with it a raft of other costs which RE zealots tend to gloss over. The electricity generation and distribution system – which wind … Continue reading No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof
Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Hoping to be powered by sunshine and breezes is like musical chairs: the game designed to ensure that someone always misses out. Increasing reliance on the ‘unreliables’ means, however, that hundreds of businesses and hundreds of thousands of households get to miss out. Think wind and solar ‘powered’ Texas during its Big Freeze. Or think … Continue reading Power Drain: Relying on Renewables? Get Ready For Mass Blackouts & Power Rationing
Let’s Get Serious: Unreliable Wind & Solar No Way to Power Any Serious Economic Power
The wind and solar debacles playing out in the US, UK and Germany have finally brought reality to bear and exposed the renewable energy ideologues as outright frauds. And, from our perspective, about time, too. The acolytes chanting about our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future are like the overly optimistic … Continue reading Let’s Get Serious: Unreliable Wind & Solar No Way to Power Any Serious Economic Power
