Australia’s energy crisis was perfectly predictable and perfectly avoidable. Just over 20 years ago, sound engineering gave way to delusional ideology, obsessed with the notion that wind and solar would provide all the power we could ever need. The rest, as they say, is history. Over time it’s getting harder to convince youngsters that Australia … Continue reading Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices

Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown
Destroying coal-fired power plants is all part of the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ and precisely the point of the subsidies to wind and solar which are designed to allow the unreliables to undercut cheap and reliable coal-fired power, thereby driving coal-fired plants out of business. The inevitable consequences include rocketing power prices and rolling … Continue reading Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown
Renewables Reckoning: Closing Australia’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Grid Collapse
Thanks to an obsessional reliance on wind and solar, Australia’s power grid has all the structural integrity of a house of cards. Based on the delusion that weather-dependent wind and weather and sunshine-dependent solar can actually replace coal-fired power, Australia’s energy policy is deliberately designed to wipe out coal-fired power plants, once and for all. … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Closing Australia’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Grid Collapse
Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts
Germany’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster is on display for all to see. It’s a calamity that the MSM refuses to acknowledge. An inconvenient truth, no doubt. Sure, the Russians pulled the plug on gas supplies to Germany, but mother nature does the same with sunshine and breezes, every day. Sunset, cloud cover and calm weather, … Continue reading Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts
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)
Some Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Britain’s Coal-Fired Plants Only Thing Preventing Total Blackouts
Depend on the weather for your power needs, then get ready for plenty of routine disappointment. Time and time again, Britain’s coal-fired power plants are called in to prevent total blackouts during calm and cloudy weather, of the kind that causes total collapses in wind and solar output. Notwithstanding efforts to drive them out of … Continue reading Some Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Britain’s Coal-Fired Plants Only Thing Preventing Total Blackouts
Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos
Blowing up coal-fired power plants comes with a staggering price tag and Australia’s power consumers are paying it, with another round of 20-30% increases in retail power prices only a couple of months away. And that crushing blow sits on top of the routine annual double-digit increases, they’ve been suffering over the last decade. With … Continue reading Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos
Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
In another, ‘we told you so’ moment, retail power prices in Australia will jump by 20% to 30% in June, following annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was designed to wreck our conventional coal-fired power … Continue reading Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
Anyone familiar with the weather and sunset, could have told you it would never work; the grand renewable energy transition, that is. The wind and sun cult have been claiming outright victory for years, although the scoreboard doesn’t seem to reflect their exuberant claims. The future for coal-fired power has never looked brighter; China and … Continue reading Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
India’s March to Lasting Prosperity Drives Insatiable Demand For Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Demonising coal-fired power is a sport played by smug, well-fed Westerners - who’ve never lived a day without power, in their cosseted lives. For the poorest energy-starved billions, a day with affordable power is a dream worth fighting for. The West’s prosperity was won with coal, a fact seemingly recognised by wind and solar-obsessed Brits … Continue reading India’s March to Lasting Prosperity Drives Insatiable Demand For Reliable Coal-Fired Power
