The wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies and run on subsidies. The electricity that the occasionally produce has no commercial value, simply because it can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it. And because their output can’t be controlled, producers get paid a fortune to produce nothing at all to prevent … Continue reading Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Massive Subsidies and Even Bigger Lies

Power Shock: Maine’s Power Users Being Smashed By Massive Solar Subsidy Cost
In a - they didn’t really think solar is free moment - power users in Maine are being belted with crushing power bills and told by the powers that be to expect much more of the same. Where numerous businesses are being driven to the wall, thousands of householders are being hit especially hard, with … Continue reading Power Shock: Maine’s Power Users Being Smashed By Massive Solar Subsidy Cost
Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits - aka ‘dunkelflaute’ - … Continue reading Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
Graft & Grift: How the Climate Industrial Complex Uses ‘Perceptionware’ to Hoodwink the Masses
Acting as the spearhead for rent-seeking wind and solar outfits, the climate cult rants and raves about the need for ‘immediate climate action.’ All the while tearing around the world in private jets, floating the 7 seas and luxury liners and otherwise dining out at our expense. Sure, hypocrisy comes in many shades. But, like … Continue reading Graft & Grift: How the Climate Industrial Complex Uses ‘Perceptionware’ to Hoodwink the Masses
No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Rent-seekers keep telling us that wind and solar power are the cheapest of all. Our crushing and ever-increasing power bills wherever wind and solar signify, suggests otherwise. Their propagandists employ a bag of tricks in an effort to support the narrative. The game includes ignoring the capital cost of having every single (unreliable) megawatt of … Continue reading No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Net Zero Suicide Watch: Suicidal Energy Policies Deliver Economic Disaster
Britain’s power consumers are paying a heavy price for its maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to keep up its nuclear plants now looks positively suicidal. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. … Continue reading Net Zero Suicide Watch: Suicidal Energy Policies Deliver Economic Disaster
Totally Busted: California’s Subsidised Solar Scam Implodes
Over-generous subsidies and guaranteed over-the-market prices are the only explanation for rooftop solar. Having millions of mini (occasional) rooftop generation stations (aka domestic residences) never made any sense. Producing notionally ‘useful’ power for 5 or 6 hours a day - weather permitting - never made any sense, but nothing about the grand wind and solar … Continue reading Totally Busted: California’s Subsidised Solar Scam Implodes
What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
The way the wind cult tells it, you’d think these things were made in heaven using moonbeams and fairy dust. The reality is altogether more industrial. Every wind turbine is the product of a myriad of minerals consumed in enormous quantities, along with staggering amounts of energy needed to combine them all into a machine … Continue reading What Wind Turbines Are Made Of: Endless Mountains of Minerals and Energy
Energy Numbers: Decades of Data Detail Wind & Solar’s Pathetic Performance
There’s something altogether pathetic about those that push wind and solar as the path to an energy Utopia. A place where unicorns, fairies and pixies are in charge and numbers get treated with contempt. Numbers such as those collected by Frances Menton and Robert Bryce in the pieces below. Numbers that demonstrate that, after almost … Continue reading Energy Numbers: Decades of Data Detail Wind & Solar’s Pathetic Performance
Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
For almost 40 years, wind and solar proponents have been telling us that the subsidies they rely on are only temporary. Which most understood to mean a few years, at most. Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that wind power would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end … Continue reading Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
