Generating occasional power in far-flung places means connecting wind turbines and solar panels, and that comes with a staggering additional cost. Costs that are totally avoidable and entirely unnecessary, when one considers that no one was short of power before the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ took off. In Australia, it’s reckoned that the current … Continue reading Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades

Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
The cult demonises coal for the CO2 it releases, but without a hint of irony reckons that the CO2 released from wood is a completely different molecule. Adding the term ‘biomass’ to the millions of tonnes of timber stripped from the forests of the northern hemisphere apparently makes all the difference. Whereas the term ‘dirty’ … Continue reading Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All
By December 2019, British wind power outfits had already collected over £650,000,000 in “constraint payments” for doing nothing at all; the cost to power consumers was almost £1 billion over the last five years and that figure is expected to soar. By 2030, wind power outfits across the UK (principally in Scotland) are predicted to … Continue reading UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All
Candle Sales Soar As Britain Braces For More (Peacetime) Blackouts
Q: What did wind and solar-obsessed Westerners use before candles? A: Reliable and affordable electricity. And, before they became fixated on their attempt to run on nothing but sunshine and breezes, Westerners had reliable and affordable electricity in abundance. That was then. This is now. A burst of calm weather and sunset these days combines … Continue reading Candle Sales Soar As Britain Braces For More (Peacetime) Blackouts
Net Zero Cult Destroying British Jobs, Demands £500 Million to Destroy 2,500 More
It only takes a moment’s consideration to appreciate that net zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets are economic madness. Spent a moment or two considering what the object is and what is purportedly required to achieve it, and you’ll reach the conclusion that the world is in the grip of some kind of doomsday cult, … Continue reading Net Zero Cult Destroying British Jobs, Demands £500 Million to Destroy 2,500 More
UK’s Wind Industry Will Pocket £3 Billion In Subsidies For Producing Nothing At All
The ‘constraint payments’ paid to wind power outfits are commercial extortion, where the (occasional) producer claims a fee for producing absolutely nothing, at all. The honourable kidnapper at least hands over his victim when he gets the cash and there's something to show for the exchange. In this case, the victims are unwitting taxpayers and … Continue reading UK’s Wind Industry Will Pocket £3 Billion In Subsidies For Producing Nothing At All
Broken Dreams: Constant Calm Weather Wiping Out Britain’s Wind Industry
The wind industry treats natural meteorological phenomenon - like calm weather - as a grand conspiracy. They’ve even coined their very own curse, calling such lengthy events “wind droughts”. Wind and solar-dependent Germans call gloomy, windless weather ‘dunkelflaute’. Wild claims being smashed by nature is a common feature of earthly hubris. Icarus learnt the hard … Continue reading Broken Dreams: Constant Calm Weather Wiping Out Britain’s Wind Industry
Net-Zero CO2 Targets: Steel Workers Next Victims of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
If your country’s enemies were solely responsible for net-zero CO2 emissions targets, you’d call it terrorism. However, because the insanity has been dreamt up by those from within the tent, it’s called an ‘inevitable transition’ to a purportedly all wind and sun powered future. The evident impossibility of which is never seen as an impediment … Continue reading Net-Zero CO2 Targets: Steel Workers Next Victims of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
The results of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes can’t be hidden forever. As wind and solar generating capacity increases, the inevitable consequences are soon revealed: namely, routine power rationing, mass blackouts and crippling power prices. And yet the acolytes continue to maintain that we’re only a few mythical mega-batteries away from an all-wind … Continue reading Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle
Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen
Wind and solar rent seekers have all the style and menacing panache of the 17th-century highwaymen. It takes real audacity to look your victims in the eye and demand even more subsidies on top of the obscene pile rent seekers have already drawn from taxpayers and power consumers. But these boys are dripping in audacity. … Continue reading Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen
