Places like California and Australia are victims of their own idiotic domestic solar schemes, scams and subsidies. The disaster was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. But it’s still fun to watch! Sunshine-dependent solar power and wind-dependent wind power have no commercial value because the operators can never tell you when they might … Continue reading Junk Energy: Uncontrollable Domestic Solar Power Generates Total Grid Chaos

Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality
The trouble with reality is that eventually crushes delusions and wishful thinking, just like the notion we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Hope collides pretty quickly with the inherent failing of power generators that can’t deliver on demand. No one cares much for freezing or boiling in the dark. And no … Continue reading Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality
No Joy In New Jersey: Power Bills Double (Again) In Wind Power Obsessed State
The good folk in New Jersey are just the latest victims of the grand renewable energy ‘transition’. Politicos have backed foreign-owned offshore wind power outfits ahead of local reliable generators and the results are spelt out in black-and-white, with record retail power bills. Retail power prices have doubled in a heartbeat and the socialists in … Continue reading No Joy In New Jersey: Power Bills Double (Again) In Wind Power Obsessed State
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
Utter Madness: Solar Rush Destroys Germany’s Power Grid
Germany’s grand wind and solar transition is delivering perfectly predictable chaos. So much so its power grid is being driven to the brink of total collapse by the unchecked (and heavily subsidised) increase in intermittent solar generation, both large-scale and domestic. Those in charge of the grid have been pointing out the risk for years … Continue reading Utter Madness: Solar Rush Destroys Germany’s Power Grid
Truth in Numbers: Cheap ‘Renewables’ Claim Smashed by Crushing Power Bills
Subsidised wind and solar are the principal reason for rocketing power prices, and rocketing power prices are the principal reason for rocketing inflation. Branded as “cost of living pressures” the rapid doubling and tripling of retail power costs are always and everywhere about the market destruction caused by massive subsidies to intermittent and unreliable wind … Continue reading Truth in Numbers: Cheap ‘Renewables’ Claim Smashed by Crushing Power Bills
All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes
Solar panels deliver power for around 6 hours a day, struggle during wet/cloudy weather and a decent hailstorm or hurricane wipes them out completely. Anyone recommending solar power as a solution to our growing need for electrical energy needs their head read. Certain parts of the world suffer regular, violent hailstorms, where hailstones outsize golf … Continue reading All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes
Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
The massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar were deliberately designed to wreck coal-fired power generation - the cheapest and most reliable source of all - and that objective is well advanced in Australia. With the forced exit of another coal-fired generator the effect of a calm night (when the combined output of wind and … Continue reading Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar
20 years of subsidised wind and solar has caused retail power prices to double or even triple over that period. Attempting to duplicate a perfectly working power generation and distribution system with one that ‘works’, at best, 30% of the time (on average) and never works on calm nights - was always going to end … Continue reading Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar
Adults Take Charge: Critical Need For Reliable & Affordable Drives Nuclear Power Policy
Chaotic and only occasional wind and solar generation is what you get when infants run the show. Now in a ‘wait til your father gets home’ moment, governments of an adult bent are taking a firm grip on energy policy. Ditching the suicidal renewable energy targets and plumping for nuclear power, principally because it works. … Continue reading Adults Take Charge: Critical Need For Reliable & Affordable Drives Nuclear Power Policy
