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)

Wind & Solar Power: Always & Everywhere Totally Unreliable & Insanely Expensive
The wind and sun might be free, but the true and total cost of wind and solar power is truly astronomical. Every country that’s hitched its wagon to the subsidised wind and solar scam has seen retail power prices rocket; with no single exception. Francis Menton has been trawling through the evidence for some time … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power: Always & Everywhere Totally Unreliable & Insanely Expensive
Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Wind and solar have justly earned the tag ‘unreliables’: sunset and calm weather are inevitable, whereas the so-called ‘inevitable renewable energy transition’, is anything but. The Germans call it ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather and a total collapse in output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar … Continue reading Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Night-Time & Calm Weather: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Driving Power Prices Into Orbit
Chaotically intermittent wind and solar are at the heart of surging retail power bills. As wind and solar generation capacity increases, so do power prices. Call it an ‘immutable law’. No country that’s made any serious commitment to 'transitioning' to the ‘unreliables’ has seen power prices fall. No, the evidence is all the other way … Continue reading Night-Time & Calm Weather: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Driving Power Prices Into Orbit
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Forces Poor to Transfer Their (Meagre) Wealth to the (Already) Wealthy
The grand wind and solar scam was designed so a few get to profit outrageously at the expense of the many - and they’re called ‘rent seekers’ for good reason: Rent-seeking is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity. An example of rent-seeking is … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Forces Poor to Transfer Their (Meagre) Wealth to the (Already) Wealthy
Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition
Eventually, order emerges from chaos. Thanks to the chaos of Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar disaster, reality is starting to take hold, with the promise of order on the horizon. Investment in new wind turbines and solar panels has plummeted across Europe. Coal-fired power is back in vogue and nuclear plants are the next must-have. … Continue reading Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition
Wind Turbine Makers Demand Taxpayer Bailout For Mounting Billion-Dollar Losses
Wind turbine makers are bleeding cash, and several are terminal. Siemens Gamesa has been axing hundreds of jobs in Europe and America. Vestas, Nordex and Enercon are also on the ropes. The cause of all this corporate misery is down to a collapse in wind factory investment, which is down to a collapse in wind … Continue reading Wind Turbine Makers Demand Taxpayer Bailout For Mounting Billion-Dollar Losses
Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Guaranteed To Destroy Our Wealth & Prosperity
Depriving your economy of reliable and affordable power is the fastest way to wreck it. Which is the very thrust of the policy that has been adopted by every country currently obsessed with subsidised wind and solar. The rent-seekers behind the greatest economic and environmental scam in history, still contend that there are millions of … Continue reading Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Guaranteed To Destroy Our Wealth & Prosperity
Reliable & Affordable Energy Is Life Itself: Why Wind & Solar Are Making Us All Worse Off
Deprive a well-fed Westerner of energy for more than a few hours and you’ll get their attention. The reliable and affordable power supplies that we’ve taken for granted were built up over a century. A raft of suicidal energy policies introduced in the last 20 years will have them destroyed before this decade is out. … Continue reading Reliable & Affordable Energy Is Life Itself: Why Wind & Solar Are Making Us All Worse Off
Renewables Roadblock: Wind & Solar Transition Meets Real Community Opposition
When ideology is all, reality has a nasty habit of undoing the grandest of plans. So it is with the great wind and solar ‘reset’. The economic storage of intermittent wind and solar is a fantastic pipe dream; the colossal expense attached to mythical mega-batteries means that it will remain so. The minerals required for … Continue reading Renewables Roadblock: Wind & Solar Transition Meets Real Community Opposition
