Like any ideological cult, wind and solar acolytes bury troublesome facts and replace them with oodles of helpful fiction. Start with the supposed cost of the electricity occasionally generated by wind turbines and solar panels. The usual trick is to invent some model said to capture the unique benefits of running on sunshine and breezes. … Continue reading Faking It: Why ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Claims Never Stack Up

Exorbitant ‘Green’ Energy Costs Responsible For German Industry’s Economic Meltdown
The rocketing power prices caused by Germany’s headlong wind and solar rush are crushing its once thriving industries, including outfits like Mercedes-Benz. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe’s highest power prices; following Putin’s assault on Ukraine, German power prices rocketed, further still, hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. Power rationing is already … Continue reading Exorbitant ‘Green’ Energy Costs Responsible For German Industry’s Economic Meltdown
Propaganda Flip: Renewables Cult Claim They Never Said Wind & Solar Would Be Cheap
The wind and solar industries are struggling to win the hearts and minds of householders and businesses being belted by skyrocketing power prices. Built on lies and run on subsidies, it comes as no surprise that the truth about heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar would eventually work its way to the surface. … Continue reading Propaganda Flip: Renewables Cult Claim They Never Said Wind & Solar Would Be Cheap
Shredded: Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Economy-Crushing Power Prices
Subsidised wind and solar are driving power prices into orbit and whole industries into bankruptcy around the globe. Australia, is no exception. When wind and solar acolytes start talking about ‘cheap renewables’ powering a manufacturing renaissance you know you really are dealing with a deranged cult. Heading up the cult in Australia is the PM, … Continue reading Shredded: Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Economy-Crushing Power Prices
Occasional Wind & Solar Generation Guarantee Staggering Backup Costs
Sunset kills solar output the same way calm weather renders wind turbines utterly useless. Around the world $trillions have been squandered on occasional power generation which is always and everywhere dependent on sunshine and/or the weather. In the beginning, there was a perfectly functional power supply with reliable generators connected by a systematically designed grid … Continue reading Occasional Wind & Solar Generation Guarantee Staggering Backup Costs
Simply Staggering: Power Users Bear The True Cost of Subsidised Wind and Solar
Every state or country that ramps up wind and solar capacity ends up with rocketing power prices and an unreliable grid - no exceptions. Press members of the wind and sun cult for an example of the alternative outcome and they’ll quickly deflect and change the subject, keep pressing and then you’ll get ranting about … Continue reading Simply Staggering: Power Users Bear The True Cost of Subsidised Wind and Solar
Countries With Most Wind & Solar Generation Suffer World’s Highest Power Prices
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
The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Frozen wind turbines and solar panels buried under piles of snow and ice produce nothing at all, except photo opportunities. When the weather conspires against the ‘unreliables’, somewhere there will be a coal, or gas or diesel powered generator ready to swing into action and prevent you from freezing in the dark. However, if the … Continue reading The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
It takes more than just your average leap of logic to contend that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ constitutes rational energy policy. That so-called ‘policy’ means doling out massive subsidies to wind and solar generators for weather-dependent occasional power; then subsidising coal-fired power plants to stay operating to fill the ‘gaps’ caused by sunset … Continue reading Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
Mounting Losses Mean Sweden’s Wind Industry Faces Total Financial Collapse
Notwithstanding €billions in subsidies, Sweden’s embattled wind industry is on the brink of total financial collapse. The majority of Swedish wind power outfits are underwater, bleeding cash and have no hope of recovery. In the piece below, Carl Deconinck reports on the work of two economists, Christian Sandström and Christian Steinbeck, who conclude that the … Continue reading Mounting Losses Mean Sweden’s Wind Industry Faces Total Financial Collapse
