Life’s Essentials: Everything Depends on Carbon Dioxide Gas

Quiz a teenager on photosynthesis and you’ll be met with blank looks. Ask them about the greatest threat to humanity and they’ll hit you with the evils of ‘carbon pollution’. Try getting them to define what they mean by ‘carbon’, and you’ll find they have no idea that the villain of their nightmares is really … Continue reading Life’s Essentials: Everything Depends on Carbon Dioxide Gas

Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope

As the sun sets on a calm afternoon, talk about a ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds delusional, because it is. The cult is driven by that very delusion, however. But those who have been dragged along for the ride are finally waking up to the fact that first world economies can’t run on sunshine and … Continue reading Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope

Political Power Shift: More Voters Refuse to Swallow Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Lie

Opening a crushing power bill while sitting freezing (or boiling) in the dark focuses attention on the obvious and only cause: heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar. Delivered according to the whims of mother nature rather than the demands of human industry, activity and endeavour, wind and solar power were never going to … Continue reading Political Power Shift: More Voters Refuse to Swallow Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Lie

Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth

Coal, then oil and gas, have driven the mechanization and industrialisation responsible for lifting billions out of agrarian poverty, and all in the space of little more than a century. As a band of miserable misanthropes would have it, oil, coal and gas are an unadulterated evil to be driven back to the earthly depths … Continue reading Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth

Wind & Solar Fail to Dent World’s Record Demand For Coal

The wind and sun cult reckon ‘coal is dead’. The truth is the energy-rich black stuff hasn’t suffered so much as a flesh wound. World energy markets keep defying long-repeated predictions that coal’s days are over. Coal remains critical because it does something that sunshine and breezes can never do; fed into coal-fired power plants … Continue reading Wind & Solar Fail to Dent World’s Record Demand For Coal

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’

Retrograde Renewables: Wind & Solar Transition Means Return to Pre-Industrial Age

Wind and solar are hopelessly unreliable and intermittent, and wild promises of grid-scale storage of wind and solar are a cruel hoax. Dilute and diffuse, no modern economy has powered itself using sunshine and breezes, no country worth its salt, ever will. The wind and sun cult tries to ignore the fact that the story … Continue reading Retrograde Renewables: Wind & Solar Transition Means Return to Pre-Industrial Age

Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants

‘Green’ energy ideologues are terrified of mass blackouts; the moment when the proles work out the wind and solar transition is a monstrous lie. In Germany, the worship of intermittent wind and solar has all the hallmarks of a deranged cult. However, as with most cults, it’s a zealous few that end up driving a … Continue reading Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants

Energy Hungry World Drives Obvious Demand for Cheap, Reliable Coal-Fired Power

Germany and Australia share delusional obsessions with wind and solar power; but they also share a desperate demand for reliable coal-fired power. Hidden from sight, both Germany and Australia have recognised (albeit a little too late) that the only way of delivering 24 x 365 power, whatever the weather at prices everyone can afford is … Continue reading Energy Hungry World Drives Obvious Demand for Cheap, Reliable Coal-Fired Power

How Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power Drove India From Poverty to The Moon

Coal-fired power is at the heart of India’s mission to lift millions out of poverty. India has 285 plants with a capacity of 211GW already operating; it's currently building a further 30GW of coal-fired generation capacity, with a further 35GW in pre-construction stages. A visit to India shows how serious it is about serious power … Continue reading How Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power Drove India From Poverty to The Moon
