There is no such thing as a 'free' lunch, some one always pays. Wind and sun may be free, the occasional power they produce is anything but. The economic choices we make (and the policies that surround, support or reflect them) are driven by a simple equation: that the economic cost should be outweighed by the … Continue reading All Downside: Energy & Mineral Hungry Wind & Solar Are Simply Not Sustainable

Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
It only takes eighth grade mathematics and a little logic to work out that there will never be any grand transition to an all wind and sun-powered future - it’s an impossible dream, to top them all. As Leen Weijers explains below, the fact that this is even a subject for discussion is based on … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked
Every good cult needs a mantra. For the anti-progress crowd, it’s the line that ‘green’ is good. However, in the way that Humpty Dumpy could make words mean anything he chose them to mean, ‘green’ has taken on a meaning all of its own. The same goes for the nonsense tag ‘renewable’; there’s nothing renewable … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Obsession Loses Its Glitter: Subsidised Wind & Solar Scam Unmasked
Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will
In the absence of mandates directing grid managers to take chaotic wind or solar power ahead of conventional power and/or massive subsidies directed to retailers encouraging them to take it and/or heavy fines imposed on them if they refuse to, there is simply no commercial market for power which can only be generated occasionally, in … Continue reading Renewables Road to Nowhere: Subsidised Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work & Never Will
Never Brighter: Energy Starved Economies Guarantee Endless Demand For Fossil Fuel
The renewable energy cult reckons “coal is dead”, but the market says otherwise. Thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal coal prices recently hit $US$400 ($548 a tonne), with prices still on the rise. The crowd that tells us that we’re only a heartbeat away from an all wind … Continue reading Never Brighter: Energy Starved Economies Guarantee Endless Demand For Fossil Fuel
Reality Check: Last Chance to Learn From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Europe is paying the price for its suicidal obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The power pricing and supply calamity that’s hit Germany and others was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Power prices are out of control and weather-driven power rationing is the new normal. The Germans once had heroic plans … Continue reading Reality Check: Last Chance to Learn From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Fake ‘Green’ Energy: So Much Spent On Wind & Solar For So Little Return
Wind and solar are not just costly they are entirely useless. Never in the field of energy generation has so much been spent, by so many, for so little return. Forget the colossal and endless subsidies, forget the community division, forget the environmental destruction and landfills full of toxic blades and panels and start with … Continue reading Fake ‘Green’ Energy: So Much Spent On Wind & Solar For So Little Return
Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Easily the most unhinged ‘renewable’ energy source is ‘biofuel’: a euphemism for the wholesale clearfelling and burning of forests in converted coal-fired power plants. Apparently, burning fossilised forests from the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago is a deadly sin against nature - all that carbon dioxide gas (that plants crave) must be doing someone … Continue reading Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Climate Refugees: Dutch Families Abandon Homes To Escape Excruciating Wind Turbine Noise
The real climate refugees are those forced to abandoned their homes thanks to a grinding, pulsing cacophony of wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound. The climate catastrophists wail about millions being displaced by rising tides and chaotic weather. But it’s their obsession with chaotically intermittent wind power, that’s causing a real rural exodus. The … Continue reading Climate Refugees: Dutch Families Abandon Homes To Escape Excruciating Wind Turbine Noise
Impossible Dream: Why Promise Of All Wind & Sun Powered Future Is Complete Nonsense
The dream of an all wind and sun powered future is more like a recurring nightmare: chaotically intermittent, critically dependent upon massive and endless subsidies and environmentally destructive, the idea that millions of giant industrial wind turbines and seas of solar panels will somehow benefit the planet beggars belief. In two detailed and well-crafted videos … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Why Promise Of All Wind & Sun Powered Future Is Complete Nonsense
