Claims that wind and solar are the cheapest form of energy there is, never survive first contact with reality. The first exhibit is the massive and endless subsidies, without which there would be no wind or solar industries, at all. If left to the market, there would be no generation of wind and solar, at … Continue reading If Wind and Solar Are So Cheap – Why The Need For Massive & Endless Subsidies?

Grand Energy ‘Transition’ Unravels: Power-Starved Dutch Ditch Renewables & Go For Gas
Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ continues to unravel, with the Dutch the latest to ditch the pitch to so-called ‘renewables’. Small (geographically) and industrious, the Dutch have always managed to punch well above their weight, dominating seafaring trade through history and, these days, producing a staggeringly large proportion of the foodstuffs that are consumed around … Continue reading Grand Energy ‘Transition’ Unravels: Power-Starved Dutch Ditch Renewables & Go For Gas
Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Rent-seekers and the wind and sun cult who run with them are in a flat panic as they realise that their game is up. Mouthing off about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was always going to come unstuck. Reality has a tendency of biting back. Every calm night (ie … Continue reading Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
As the sun sets on a calm afternoon, talk about a ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds delusional, because it is. The cult is driven by that very delusion, however. But those who have been dragged along for the ride are finally waking up to the fact that first world economies can’t run on sunshine and … Continue reading Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Frozen wind turbines and solar panels buried under piles of snow and ice produce nothing at all, except photo opportunities. When the weather conspires against the ‘unreliables’, somewhere there will be a coal, or gas or diesel powered generator ready to swing into action and prevent you from freezing in the dark. However, if the … Continue reading The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
It takes more than just your average leap of logic to contend that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ constitutes rational energy policy. That so-called ‘policy’ means doling out massive subsidies to wind and solar generators for weather-dependent occasional power; then subsidising coal-fired power plants to stay operating to fill the ‘gaps’ caused by sunset … Continue reading Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
Europe’s Wind Industry Collapse Leaves Wind Power Cult Searching For New False Idols
Wind power acolytes exhibit all the hallmarks of a cult. 20 years on, and anyone with critical faculties can explain in a sentence why wind power will never amount to meaningful power generation source. But the cultist still believes - running on a mix of blind faith, ignorance and blissful stupidity. Cults are never big … Continue reading Europe’s Wind Industry Collapse Leaves Wind Power Cult Searching For New False Idols
Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
Generating occasional power at the whims of mother nature means wind and solar have no hope in hell of ever competing with ever-reliable nuclear power. In power generation ‘competing’ means being always on, always available and affordable for all. Because wind generates power less than 30% of the time (on average) and solar generates power … Continue reading Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
Candle Sales Soar As Britain Braces For More (Peacetime) Blackouts
Q: What did wind and solar-obsessed Westerners use before candles? A: Reliable and affordable electricity. And, before they became fixated on their attempt to run on nothing but sunshine and breezes, Westerners had reliable and affordable electricity in abundance. That was then. This is now. A burst of calm weather and sunset these days combines … Continue reading Candle Sales Soar As Britain Braces For More (Peacetime) Blackouts
Why Costly & Unreliable Wind and Solar Threaten Modern Civilisation
Without reliable and affordable electricity, civilisation as we know it wouldn’t last a week. Absolutely everything we do depends on having power as and when we need it. Or, as Tyson Culver and Robert Bryce call it “Juice”. Over several years now, Tyson and Robert have been attempting to educate Americans about where their power … Continue reading Why Costly & Unreliable Wind and Solar Threaten Modern Civilisation
