Renewable energy rent seekers and their propagandists are diligent in their efforts to hide the true costs of wind power from the punters. Their smoke and mirrors ‘accounting’ religiously ignores the cost of providing power from a meaningful source, whenever calm weather sets in. And their ‘wind power is cheapest of all’ claims always gloss … Continue reading Hide & Seek: The Staggering Cost of Offshore Wind Power Revealed

Renewables Rethink: Americans Ready to Reject Wind & Solar After Big Freeze Blackouts
All of a sudden, everyone’s talking about wind and solar, and the chatter ain’t positive. Solar panels carpeted in inches of snow and ice; wind turbines frozen solid; and breathless, frigid weather led to total collapses in wind and solar output across central USA. Millions of notionally wind and solar ‘powered’ Texans copped the worst … Continue reading Renewables Rethink: Americans Ready to Reject Wind & Solar After Big Freeze Blackouts
Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Brits are already paying the price for its suicidal renewable energy policies. Under ‘Bonkers’ Boris that price will be positively murderous. His plan to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on subsidies and over-the-market contracts for intermittent offshore wind power beggars belief. And will turn many on the lower … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
TOTALLY GUILTY!!: Total Wind & Solar Power Collapses Responsible For Texan Blackouts
After America’s big freeze and the blackouts that followed, wind and solar acolytes are struggling to explain away the hard numbers, yet again. On 16-17 February - with hundreds of wind turbines frozen solid during breathless, freezing weather - Texan wind power output was a paltry 2% of installed capacity (see above and below). Solar … Continue reading TOTALLY GUILTY!!: Total Wind & Solar Power Collapses Responsible For Texan Blackouts
Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
So-called ‘progressives’ are long on moral posturing, but short on human compassion. Enamoured with costly wind and solar, and determined to outlaw every last reliable power source, they couldn’t care less about the inevitable spike in power prices that follows, that disproportionately punishes the least fortunate souls among us. Letting granny freeze in the dark … Continue reading Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
Nothing invokes rage and fury in rural communities like a wind farm comprising dozens and sometimes hundreds of 300 tonne, 200-270m high industrial monstrosities. Western Victoria has been overrun with these things; once peaceful pastoral properties are encircled by them, and drowned in a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency turbine noise. The wind industry and … Continue reading Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
America’s Big Chill: Wind Turbines Frozen Solid & Solar Panels Plastered In Snow & Ice
America’s big freeze has wind and solar worshippers scrambling for excuses and shifting blame like snow from their driveways. Following on from Germany’s recent near-death experience, Americans are now realizing - with terrifying clarity - just how crazy brave relying on wholly weather-dependent power sources really is. Particularly when bitter Arctic weather blankets a continent … Continue reading America’s Big Chill: Wind Turbines Frozen Solid & Solar Panels Plastered In Snow & Ice
Going, Going, Gone: Renewables Sector Reels As 150,000 German ‘Green’ Jobs Evaporate
The great ‘green’ jobs ‘bonanza’ is being revealed for the hoax that it truly is. And nowhere is that reality harsher, than in Mutti Merkel’s Germany. Plastered in solar panels (albeit blanketed in snow and ice at the moment) and overrun with 30,000 of these things, Deutschland has been held up as a renewable energy … Continue reading Going, Going, Gone: Renewables Sector Reels As 150,000 German ‘Green’ Jobs Evaporate
Full Throttle: No End In Sight for China’s Mammoth Coal-Fired Power Rush
China’s quest for global domination isn’t being fuelled by sunshine and breezes; it’s coal that’s driving the Middle Kingdom’s Imperial and economic onslaught. This is a country that is deadly serious about its economic development and deadly serious about its imperial designs. Which means there’s no place at all for power that can’t be delivered … Continue reading Full Throttle: No End In Sight for China’s Mammoth Coal-Fired Power Rush
Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
Americans who gleefully voted to oust Donald Trump, are about to reap the whirlwind. Biden and his Squad of green-left lunatics are going to visit upon all Americans precisely the same renewable energy chaos that Californians have suffered, for years. Routine power rationing and mass blackouts, as well as being hit with the highest power … Continue reading Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
