Calm weather and sunset will do it every time, smashing wind and solar output and claims that we’re already headed for an all wind and sun powered future. Believe the narrative run by the MSM on behalf of the wind and solar rent seekers and their political enablers, you’d think we’ve already reached our ‘green’ … Continue reading Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis

RE-Treat: Europe’s Repeated Wind & Solar Failures Force Renewable Energy Reversal
Germany and Britain are so heavily dependent on wind and solar, that gloomy, windless weather now presents an existential threat. The Germans have even coined a word for it: ‘dunkelflaute’. If mass blackouts during freezing winter weather weren’t a threat to millions of lives, it would almost be comical. What’s occurred is the perfect example … Continue reading RE-Treat: Europe’s Repeated Wind & Solar Failures Force Renewable Energy Reversal
‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
The fact that consumers want power as and when they need it, at prices they can afford, has scuttled Germany’s grand wind and solar ‘transition’. This is one of the stories that the MSM has been running away from for years; since February 22, they’ve been running the meme that it’s all Vlad Putin’s fault. … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
Seems like only yesterday that Germany’s grand wind and solar transition was the talk of the town. Dubbed the “Energiewende”, it was meant to spell an inevitable end to nuclear and coal-fired power, which would soon be replaced by nothing other than forests of wind turbines and seas of solar panels. Well, that was what … Continue reading Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
Mission Critical: Coal-Fired Power Central to China & India’s Growing Economic Fortunes
China and India clearly didn’t get the memo that reckons coal-fired power is dead. Both are determined to drag their people out of agrarian poverty and both know precisely how to do it: cheap and reliable coal-fired power. Building new plants at a rate that incenses the climate cult intelligentsia, both countries have no interest … Continue reading Mission Critical: Coal-Fired Power Central to China & India’s Growing Economic Fortunes
Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas
Any enquiring mind has already rumbled the fact that the grand wind and solar reset is a great ‘green’ fraud. Wind turbines, solar panels and mythical mega-batteries require more energy to produce than they’ll ever repay. Miners love it, of course, with the insatiable demand that’s been generated by delusional autocrats and cynical rent-seekers. Although, … Continue reading Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas
Gas Demand Driven By Need to ‘Back Up’ Wind & Solar Using Fast-Start Gas Turbines
Before the obsession with intermittent wind and solar took hold, gas was rarely used to generate electricity if coal, nuclear or hydro sources were available. Gas-fired electricity, in the main, was simply too expensive, by comparison with coal-fired power. Coal-fired generators are designed to run around-the-clock. Wind turbines and solar panels only run according to … Continue reading Gas Demand Driven By Need to ‘Back Up’ Wind & Solar Using Fast-Start Gas Turbines
Highway to Hell: World’s Big Banks Baulk at Suicidal Net-Zero Emissions Pathway
The big-money has just worked out that going ‘woke’ means going broke. Sure, a little cynical greenwashing doesn’t hurt corporate reputation with the MSM and Twitterati, but shareholders and markets tend to take a sterner view. Financiers were among the first to sign up to models which limited their finance to fossil fuel producers and … Continue reading Highway to Hell: World’s Big Banks Baulk at Suicidal Net-Zero Emissions Pathway
Wrong Bet: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really About Lunatics Gambling With Your Money
Those pushing the wind and solar transition exhibit the kind of moral turpitude you’d expect from lunatics gambling with other people’s money. Politicians might have been forgiven a decade ago, but not now. Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar calamity clearly hasn’t registered with Australia’s political class. The worst (but not the only) offenders are the … Continue reading Wrong Bet: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really About Lunatics Gambling With Your Money
Fired-Up: Global Demand For Coal Defies Wind & Sun Cult’s Predictions of Doom
World energy markets keep defying the wind and solar cult’s prediction that coal’s days are over. The meme has it that ‘coal is dead’, but in reality it hasn’t suffered so much as a flesh wound. Indeed, thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal coal prices hit $US$400 … Continue reading Fired-Up: Global Demand For Coal Defies Wind & Sun Cult’s Predictions of Doom
