Wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency delivered a deadly lesson during America’s big freeze last winter: hundreds died in freezing homes left without electricity thanks to hundreds of wind turbines that were frozen solid and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event; and thousands of solar panels plastered in snow … Continue reading Epic Fail: How Wind & Solar Caused America’s Big Freeze Blackouts & Killed Hundreds

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
California’s Renewable Energy Meltdown: Power Prices Rocket Amidst Rolling Blackouts
Want unaffordable and unreliable power? Then wind and solar are just the ticket. With their grid on the very brink of collapse, Californians are suffering from rocketing power prices - all thanks to a ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes. Even when the sun is shining, the wind is blowing and power is … Continue reading California’s Renewable Energy Meltdown: Power Prices Rocket Amidst Rolling Blackouts
Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans & Californians Face More Forced Power Rationing
Texans and Californians now have a choice between no power and getting their own diesel generators. Mass blackouts and power rationing are now the norm, thanks to an obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, in both cases. Back in February, it was a big freeze that froze turbines and plastered solar panels with blankets … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans & Californians Face More Forced Power Rationing
Californian Cover-up: Evidence Reveals Unreliable Renewables Causing California’s Summer-time Blackouts
The pro wind and solar camp have made every effort to conceal the cause of mass blackouts in California, Texas, Germany and South Australia. With a pliant mainstream press complicit in the cover-up, it’s little wonder that the average Joe has no idea what’s going on. Well, that’s what sites like STT and Master Resource … Continue reading Californian Cover-up: Evidence Reveals Unreliable Renewables Causing California’s Summer-time Blackouts
Want to Know Why Wind Power is Causing Blackouts in Britain? (It’s called “the Weather”)
No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar power; no country ever will. In Britain, the threat of blackouts now looms every time the wind drops off, thanks to an overreliance on unreliable wind power. Back in August 2019 we reported on a mass blackout that struck Britain, when an offshore wind … Continue reading Want to Know Why Wind Power is Causing Blackouts in Britain? (It’s called “the Weather”)
Black Days & Darker Nights: Engineers Spell Out Threat Posed by Increasing Reliance On Wind & Solar
Pin your power supply hopes on sunshine and breezes, and get prepared for mixed results. South Australians, Californians and Texans know what comes from an overreliance on the unreliables, with plenty of experience of weather-related load shedding and mass blackouts. Increasing dependence on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the price we’ve paid for allowing … Continue reading Black Days & Darker Nights: Engineers Spell Out Threat Posed by Increasing Reliance On Wind & Solar
Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
Base-load power means the stuff generated by coal, gas, nuclear and, where nature permits, hydro. Anyone claiming that wind or solar fit within that mix has never seen a sunset or experienced a burst of dead calm weather. And there’s the rub. Mass blackouts and power rationing in notionally wind and solar powered California during … Continue reading Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
Germany’s renewable energy ‘transition’ has turned into high farce: a week after it forced the shutdown of 11 coal-fired power plants, it was forced to reopen them to avoid mass blackouts. German power prices - already the highest in Europe (if not the world) - are running out of control. The recent legislated ban … Continue reading Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
Beyond Help: Power Rationing New Normal in Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
South Australians know an awful lot about sweating in the dark and, thanks to their fixation on wind and solar power, its hapless proletariat will get to learn a whole lot more. Renowned by the renewable cult as Australia’s ‘wind and solar capital’, SA suffers Australia’s highest power prices and, quite naturally, Australia’s highest rate … Continue reading Beyond Help: Power Rationing New Normal in Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
