As Germans and Brits stock up on woollen blankets and candles, the world has a chance to avoid the perfectly avoidable. In both cases, an obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has them scrambling for reliable energy - as if thousands of lives depend on it - which they literally do. … Continue reading Suicidal Sleepwalk: Time to Stop Emulating Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession

Not So Cheap: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends Britain’s Power Prices Into Orbit
Britain and Germany are the star players in Europe’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity. Faced with power rationing and crippling power bills, Germans and Brits must be thanking their lucky stars that their governments had the wit and foresight to destroy their coal-fired power plants and give nuclear power the flick. Banning the exploitation of Britain’s … Continue reading Not So Cheap: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends Britain’s Power Prices Into Orbit
Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity Forces Brits to Embrace Reliable Nuclear Power
Necessity is the mother of energy policy reinvention, and safe, reliable and affordable nuclear is at the heart of it. In Britain, thanks to its obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, power prices are already at astronomical levels. Its political betters are ruing the day they determined to trash their coal-fired … Continue reading Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity Forces Brits to Embrace Reliable Nuclear Power
Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter
Electricity is one of those things that is only fully appreciated when a hopeful user is deprived of it. Across Europe, the cultlike fixation on wind and solar has provided precisely the environment in which households and businesses are coming to sense just how important having power as and when they need it, really is. … Continue reading Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter
Reliable, Safe & Affordable: Small Modular Reactors Set to Deliver Real Energy Transition
With Europe’s renewable energy disaster laid bare for all to see, the focus is now on “real energy” - power that’s available 24 x 7, irrespective of the weather and where the Sun sits in the sky. For fairly obvious reasons, the Small Modular Reactor has captured the imagination of power-starved Europeans, with two key … Continue reading Reliable, Safe & Affordable: Small Modular Reactors Set to Deliver Real Energy Transition
Renewables Triumph: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germans Aim for World Record Power Price
Remember all that guff about ‘cheap’ wind and solar power? No? That’s probably because every country that throws buckets of subsidies at the unreliables ends up suffering off-the-charts power prices. The wind and sun are free, we’re told. But, somehow, the promises of cheap power at the end of the renewable energy transition rainbow keep … Continue reading Renewables Triumph: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Germans Aim for World Record Power Price
Britain’s Bitter Regret: Inevitable Result of UK’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy
Act in stupid haste and there’s plenty of time to repent in leisure; with the insane renewable energy rush, there comes a veritable lifetime of regret. Britain’s power prices have risen to astronomical levels, thanks to its obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to … Continue reading Britain’s Bitter Regret: Inevitable Result of UK’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy
Mystery Solved: Unreliable Wind & Solar Primary Reason For Rocketing Power Prices
That heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar are driving power prices into orbit has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt. No country that ‘invested’ in the unreliables (ie threw $millions in subsidies at wind and solar) has ever seen their retail power prices fall. No, the evidence on that score is all to … Continue reading Mystery Solved: Unreliable Wind & Solar Primary Reason For Rocketing Power Prices
Transition to Poverty: Britain Being Crushed By Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
What does the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition look like? Try power-starved Britain, where power prices are out of control, with much, much worse to come. Last October, the average annual energy bill was £1,400 ($2,400). Energy industry analyst Cornwall Insight forecasts that the British price cap will skyrocket and the average annual bill will … Continue reading Transition to Poverty: Britain Being Crushed By Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession
Industrial Degeneration: Crippling Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroying Our Economic Future
Thanks to the hidden and crippling cost of subsidised wind and solar, households and businesses are being hit with staggering bills, with prices at levels unimaginable, until recently. Double digit annual percentage increases are now the norm. As we reported yesterday, Brits are already suffering power prices more than double what they were 12 months … Continue reading Industrial Degeneration: Crippling Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroying Our Economic Future
