In a growing, energy-starved world nuclear power generation makes perfect sense, at every level. While carpet bagging, crony capitalists rant and rave against nuclear - in an effort to protect their investments in subsidised wind and solar - the rest of the world is moving towards nuclear as the natural energy source of the future, … Continue reading Naturally Nuclear: Why Government Owned Nuclear Plants Make Perfect Sense

Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
The wind industry never lets facts shake the entrenched delusion that wind power is cheap and always available. One of the more troublesome facts relates to cost. Whereas the true and total cost of onshore wind power is merely exorbitant, taking these things kilometres offshore means the true cost of (occasionally) generating electricity is off … Continue reading Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Talking about an energy transition on a dead calm, cloudy winter’s morning, when wind and solar output amounts to a doughnut, is positively delusional; claiming that wind and solar are the cheapest generation source of all (when wind and solar can’t be hundred any price) is utterly bonkers. The fact that the matter is (and … Continue reading How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Crony Capitalists Reckon ‘Green’ Energy Too Expensive to Make ‘Green’ Hydrogen
The myth of producing ‘green’ hydrogen using nothing but wind and solar is yet another effort by crony capitalists to separate taxpayers from their money. If ‘green’ hydrogen was economically feasible, then entrepreneurs would be throwing every penny they could muster at something with so much (apparent) promise. The fact that their first port of … Continue reading Crony Capitalists Reckon ‘Green’ Energy Too Expensive to Make ‘Green’ Hydrogen
Faking It: Why ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Claims Never Stack Up
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
