That troubled teenage, Greta the Fretter has reignited the nonsense that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. The girl that can see carbon dioxide gas, heads up a mathematically challenged group, who pronounce the time and date when the world will happily operate without generating any CO2 at all, … Continue reading Numerical Nonsense: Why Claims Wind & Solar Can Power the Planet Just Don’t Add Up

Community Ecstatic as Planning Commission Slams Chinese Backed Wind Farm Project
The Gullen Range wind farm was a disaster from the get go (see our post here) – with hundreds of homes turned into sonic torture traps (see our post here). There are 32 non-involved residences within 1.5 km of turbines; about 60 within 2 km; and 118 within 3 km. Within 5 km there are about 240 … Continue reading Community Ecstatic as Planning Commission Slams Chinese Backed Wind Farm Project
Brits Belted: UK’s Subsidised Wind Power Obsession Leaves 3,000,000 Households Suffering Energy Poverty
Millions of British households face another bitter winter, unable to meet their rocketing power bills. An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind power (both off and onshore) has sent power prices spiralling. And, adding to the misery, the annual cost of renewable energy subsidies, Feed in Tariffs, fixed contract prices for wind and solar etc to … Continue reading Brits Belted: UK’s Subsidised Wind Power Obsession Leaves 3,000,000 Households Suffering Energy Poverty
Permanent Part-Time Power: Wind Power Rush Leaves Texans Scrambling for Reliable Electricity
Being a weather-dependent enterprise, no one thinks of promising their kids a kite flying holiday, ahead of time. So just how modern, Western economies ever thought they’d power themselves with occasional breezes is a mystery. The inherent and chaotic intermittency that’s part and parcel of wind power is only compensated by the ability of dispatchable … Continue reading Permanent Part-Time Power: Wind Power Rush Leaves Texans Scrambling for Reliable Electricity
Battle for Barossa Won: Keyneton Locals Kill-Off Monster Wind Farm & Save Premier Wine Growing District
There’s nothing like winning and there’s nothing like winning against the subsidy-soaked wind industry. Across the globe, thousands of communities are united in their opposition to the threat of giant industrial wind turbines being speared into their backyards. The backlash against the wind industry in German rural communities has brought construction of new wind farms … Continue reading Battle for Barossa Won: Keyneton Locals Kill-Off Monster Wind Farm & Save Premier Wine Growing District
Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie, as does Denmark and South Australia, which each jockey for line honours in the world’s highest power prices stakes. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless … Continue reading Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
Ripping Yarns: Wind & Sun Can’t Power the World: Never Have & Never Will
You know we’ve reached peak stupid when adults line up to be lectured by troubled teenage girls on energy and world economics. Greta the Fretter and the lunatics gluing themselves to roads under the banner of the Extinction Rebellion have made the work of the sane and rational so much easier. For a decade or … Continue reading Ripping Yarns: Wind & Sun Can’t Power the World: Never Have & Never Will
Power Supply Crunch: Mass Blackouts Guaranteed When Demand Spikes Coincide With Wind & Solar Collapses
Pin your power needs to the weather and expect results to vary. Last summer saw mass load shedding and blackouts across Victoria, South Australia and NSW when spikes in demand combined with collapses in wind and solar output. Demand patterns are as predictable as the delivery in wind and solar are chaotic. That chaos … Continue reading Power Supply Crunch: Mass Blackouts Guaranteed When Demand Spikes Coincide With Wind & Solar Collapses
Monumental Fail: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Work
No industrial economy ever powered itself on wind and solar; no such country ever will. Sunset and calm weather are very real things; whereas grid-scale storage electricity is a myth. As subsidies for wind and solar are drying up, rent-seekers hoping to cash in are running a mile. There has been an almost total collapse … Continue reading Monumental Fail: Why Intermittent & Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Work
Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
Cars, cats and skyscrapers don’t kill Eagles – like the critically endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle, but 60m wind turbine blades with their tips travelling at 350Kph routinely smash them out of existence. The current crop of well-fed and poorly educated teens raging against the evil patriarchy and its grand conspiracy to cook the planet and … Continue reading Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
