Make electricity unreliable and unaffordable and you’ll soon turn your economy to ashes. Australia is on the brink of a major recession, and energy costs are front and centre. Power prices will jump by 25 to 30% next month following the closure of yet another perfectly operable 2,000MW coal-fired power plant. Since the Federal Government’s … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turning First World Economies Into First Order Disasters

Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
Following the closure of another coal-fired power plant, Australians have just been told their power bills will jump by 25 to 30% come July. That colossal hike follows annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was … Continue reading Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%
Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
As wind and solar capacity increases, it becomes increasingly evident they are hopelessly incapable of delivering power as and when we need it. Back in January 2021, Germany shut down 11 coal-fired power plants (with a total capacity of 4.7 GW). That shutdown lasted eight days, with most of the plants up and running by … Continue reading Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
Man Without A Plan: Joe Biden’s Energy Policy is Utterly Incoherent and Totally Destructive
America’s energy policy has been captured by the same class of ideologues and rent seekers, that have destroyed reliable and affordable power supplies in Europe, Australia and elsewhere. So, it’s probably not entirely fair to attribute the blame to the bumbling Joe Biden. Struggling with signs of senile dementia, on occasions, Biden gives the appearance … Continue reading Man Without A Plan: Joe Biden’s Energy Policy is Utterly Incoherent and Totally Destructive
Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
Australia’s energy crisis was perfectly predictable and perfectly avoidable. Just over 20 years ago, sound engineering gave way to delusional ideology, obsessed with the notion that wind and solar would provide all the power we could ever need. The rest, as they say, is history. Over time it’s getting harder to convince youngsters that Australia … Continue reading Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices
Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown
Destroying coal-fired power plants is all part of the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ and precisely the point of the subsidies to wind and solar which are designed to allow the unreliables to undercut cheap and reliable coal-fired power, thereby driving coal-fired plants out of business. The inevitable consequences include rocketing power prices and rolling … Continue reading Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown
Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
Long bursts of calm weather are no mystery to sailors and kite flyers, but the wind industry apparently never got the memo. Hence the type of indignation expressed when the wind fails to materialize - in its financial statements, Australian outfit, Infigen has repeatedly cursed the Wind Gods for its often-dismal profit results. The industry … Continue reading Powering Down: Wind Industry Being Crippled By Relentless Wind Droughts
South Africa’s Dark Age: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivering Blackouts Every Single Day
Trashing coal-fired power plants and pretending to replace their output with wind and solar guarantees blackouts and mass load shedding. For the uninitiated, it’s all about sunset and the weather. South Africa is a case in point. In little more than a decade, the ANC’s policy of backing wind turbines and solar panels with taxpayer … Continue reading South Africa’s Dark Age: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivering Blackouts Every Single Day
Blackout Prevention Intervention: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texas Spends $Billions On Gas-Powered Plants
Texas has squandered a cool $66 billion on building its wind and solar capacity and the infrastructure needed to support it. The subsidies that have driven the the wind and solar onslaught - principally the Production Tax Credit, as well as state-mandated feed-in tariffs), deliberately designed to relegate the reliable generators (nuclear, coal and gas) to … Continue reading Blackout Prevention Intervention: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texas Spends $Billions On Gas-Powered Plants
Renewables Reckoning: Closing Australia’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Grid Collapse
Thanks to an obsessional reliance on wind and solar, Australia’s power grid has all the structural integrity of a house of cards. Based on the delusion that weather-dependent wind and weather and sunshine-dependent solar can actually replace coal-fired power, Australia’s energy policy is deliberately designed to wipe out coal-fired power plants, once and for all. … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Closing Australia’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Grid Collapse
