https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dik_wnOE4dk Australia is not the only country in the grip of the grand delusion that sunshine and breezes will soon completely replace nuclear, gas and coal-fired power. With another large capacity coal-fired power plant signalling its exit from the market place, the renewable energy ideologues are rejoicing. The engineers that built and ran those plants … Continue reading Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power

Alarm Call: Texan/Californian/South Australian Blackouts Herald End For Unreliable Wind & Solar
By no stretch of the imagination can entirely weather/sunshine-dependent power sources be described as “meaningful” or “serious”. The tale about the naked Emperor beguiled by his acolytes into believing his ‘attire’ was perfectly suited to every occasion, springs to mind. The gag was, of course, that the Emperor never had any clothes. Likewise, chaotically … Continue reading Alarm Call: Texan/Californian/South Australian Blackouts Herald End For Unreliable Wind & Solar
All Time High: Wind & Solar Obsession Triples Power Costs to German Industry & Domestic Prices Highest in Europe
In another ‘proof is in the pudding moment’, wind and solar obsessed Germans are now paying record prices for electricity. German households suffer the highest prices in Europe. And, over the last 20 years, the prices paid by German industry have almost tripled. Faced with the choice between going broke or going elsewhere, Germany’s world-renowned … Continue reading All Time High: Wind & Solar Obsession Triples Power Costs to German Industry & Domestic Prices Highest in Europe
Big Freeze Failures: Time to Put Intermittent Subsidised Wind Power On Ice Forever
Intermittent wind power doesn’t make any sense: never has, never will. A power generation source that can’t be cranked up to meet demand and which repeatedly fails to deliver when demand soars - eg freezing, dead-calm weather and 42°C breathless days and nights - doesn’t count as a power source, at all. A decade or … Continue reading Big Freeze Failures: Time to Put Intermittent Subsidised Wind Power On Ice Forever
Great Socialist Reset: ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means No Future for YOU
Wind and solar isn’t about providing power to the people, it’s about depriving people of reliable and affordable power, and lining the pockets of crony capitalists with massive and endless subsidies. Australia is no exception. The subsidies to wind and solar here will top $60 billion by the end of this decade. And, if rent … Continue reading Great Socialist Reset: ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means No Future for YOU
The Great Pretenders: Intermittent Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with Coal & Gas & Nuclear
Oh yes, they’re the great pretenders: useless in calm weather or after the sun goes down, wind and solar can never really compete with coal, nuclear or gas. And anyone trying to convince you otherwise, ought to be gently encouraged to seek psychiatric help. Especially after America’s big freeze left millions of wind and solar … Continue reading The Great Pretenders: Intermittent Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with Coal & Gas & Nuclear
Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
Identifying the full value of subsidies to wind and solar, has been like a game of hide and seek. Whether it’s renewable energy certificates, production tax credits, preferential access to the power grid, over-the-market government guaranteed contracts, or the hidden costs of the cash penalties attached to government mandates and targets, the wind and solar … Continue reading Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
Biden’s Blackout Nation: ‘Green’ New Deal Promises More Time Freezing or Boiling in the Dark
Sitting freezing or boiling in the dark provides a moment to consider where one’s electricity comes from. Californians, South Australian and now Texans have all enjoyed the experience, one way or another. The common thread, of course, is an obsession with sunshine-dependent solar and/or weather-dependent wind power. The belief that we’re just a heartbeat (and … Continue reading Biden’s Blackout Nation: ‘Green’ New Deal Promises More Time Freezing or Boiling in the Dark
Wind Power Fail: Britain’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Keep The Lights On During ‘Big Calm’
If having no power at all was the object of our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and solar ‘powered’ future, then we’re well on our way. The bitter northern hemisphere winter just gone, has shown wind and solar for what they are: pointless and expensive vanity projects, that only a lunatic would promote and … Continue reading Wind Power Fail: Britain’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Keep The Lights On During ‘Big Calm’
German Hi-Tech Firms Driven Offshore By Unaffordable & Unreliable Renewable Energy
‘Net zero’ is precisely the number of meaningful jobs that’ll be left after our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future. Looking for an example? Look no further than the wind and solar acolyte’s pinup girl, Germany. Notwithstanding billions of euros in subsidies, courageous mandates and punitive targets, its Energiewende has failed … Continue reading German Hi-Tech Firms Driven Offshore By Unaffordable & Unreliable Renewable Energy
