As night follows day, adding more wind and solar capacity inevitably results in rocketing power prices. The hard numbers say it all. China enjoys the world’s lowest power prices, thanks to cheap, abundant and reliable coal-fired power. Adding to their advantage, China is building dozens of new coal-fired and nuclear powered plants. It’s almost as … Continue reading Countries With Most Wind & Solar Generation Suffer World’s Highest Power Prices

Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year
Every single job in Britain’s wind and solar industry is costing taxpayers £250,000 every year, ad infinitum. Currently that figure converts to AU$482,000 or US$310,000, which is hardly chump change for a feel good job creation scheme. And the fact that taxpayers will be forking out that kind of cash for every so-called ‘green job’ … Continue reading Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year
Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Access to reliable and affordable power is just another thing Westerners have taken for granted, for far too long. A band of weather-obsessed ideologues have set about methodically destroying our once perfectly affordable and thoroughly reliable power supplies, by propounding the delusional notion that wind and solar can replace that well-designed system which has powered … Continue reading Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
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
