Before the wind and sun cult took charge, the power grid was designed and run by engineers - using coal, a little gas, hydro and nuclear (everywhere else in the world except Australia, that is). It ran like clockwork; power was cheap as chips and delivered on demand. Electrical storms were the only thing that … Continue reading Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck

Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics
Voters get the governments are to serve, so it’s said, which means that sympathy for their current energy woes runs thin. Voters who walked into a booth thinking they would save the planet by backing candidates and parties who promised to go all in on the grand wind and solar ‘transition’, might be suffering a … Continue reading Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics
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
No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
With the debacle playing out in Europe and the UK, it takes a special brand of delusion the claim that increasing reliance on wind and solar will inevitably result in falling power prices. And delusion, in that respect, is very much the order of the day amongst Australia’s Green/Labor Alliance. When it comes to anything … Continue reading No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
No Mystery: Human Progress Begins & Ends With Access to Reliable & Affordable Power
The misanthropes who glue themselves to roads and berate us about the ‘horrors’ of nuclear, coal and gas-fired power aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, to be sure. Living in a fact and consequence free zone, they’ve never stopped to think for a moment what life would be like without light, heat and power. … Continue reading No Mystery: Human Progress Begins & Ends With Access to Reliable & Affordable Power
Money For Nothing: Europe Squandered $Trillions On Weather-Dependent Part Time Power
Despite Europe spending €1.2 Trillion on large-scale wind and solar generation, the amount of power being actually delivered in return is risible. Which is precisely what you’d expect from power generation sources which can only deliver anything like their nameplate capacity when the sun is up, in a cloudless sky, and the wind is blowing … Continue reading Money For Nothing: Europe Squandered $Trillions On Weather-Dependent Part Time Power
No Defence: Chaotic Wind & Solar Prime Culprits For Massive Retail Power Price Hikes
The insane cost of the wind and solar ‘transition’ is starting to bite; the wind and sun cult are struggling to shift the blame. While Vlad Putin may be a seriously thuggish dictator, he can’t seriously be held responsible for rocketing power prices in the UK, Europe and Australia, where power prices have been surging … Continue reading No Defence: Chaotic Wind & Solar Prime Culprits For Massive Retail Power Price Hikes
Destination Destruction: Deluded Virtue Signallers Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Every country chasing the wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering from a mix of power rationing and rocketing prices. There is no exception. Which brings us to our sunny land, Australia. Blessed with abundant reserves of coal, gas and uranium, it ought to enjoy the world’s cheapest power prices (20 years ago, it did). Now, … Continue reading Destination Destruction: Deluded Virtue Signallers Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Wind & Sun Can’t Deliver: So Power-Starved Germans Demand Nuclear Plants Remain Online
Mass civil unrest is odds-on in power starved Germany and Britain this winter, thanks to the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’. With thousands likely to freeze to death, the collective sense of humour will soon evaporate, along with any remaining faith in the ability of wind and solar to deliver power, as and when it’s … Continue reading Wind & Sun Can’t Deliver: So Power-Starved Germans Demand Nuclear Plants Remain Online
Europe’s Wind & Solar Dependent States Scramble To Secure Reliable Supplies
Every country in Europe that hitched its hopes to sunshine and breezes is now in a mad scramble to secure reliable power supplies, before winter starts to bite and demand soars. Watching the debacle playing out across Europe, is a little like the old party game of musical chairs. Every time the music stops at … Continue reading Europe’s Wind & Solar Dependent States Scramble To Secure Reliable Supplies
