If the object of its renewable energy ‘transition’ was World’s highest power prices, it’s mission accomplished for Germany’s ‘Energiewende’. More than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels have made Germany the wind and solar cult’s favourite pinup girl. But there is not so much enthusiasm for Germany’s ‘green’ energy turn amongst businesses forced … Continue reading Rocketing Power Prices & Grid Chaos: Germany’s Energy ‘Transition’ an Unmitigated Disaster

Regressive Renewables: California’s Wind & Solar Obsession Crushing the Poor & Vulnerable
Californian punk outfit, the Dead Kennedys sang about killing the poor. California’s renewables obsession is doing just that: power prices are now well out of reach for the working poor and its minorities are most affected. Over the last 20 years, Californian policymakers have shovelled billions in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar. The result: … Continue reading Regressive Renewables: California’s Wind & Solar Obsession Crushing the Poor & Vulnerable
Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
Perplexed as to why your power bill just doubled? Then you’ll be pleased to know the answer is simple: massively subsidised wind and solar. Statisticians get excited when they can prove causation instead of mere correlation, which often depends upon the number of observations of a particular event of interest. With dozens of countries and … Continue reading Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
Unaffordable At Any Price: Why Biden’s ‘Green’ New Deal Will Bankrupt America
Joe Biden and his Squad are trying to convince the American people that their ‘Green’ New Deal will deliver an economic Nirvana, for all and sundry. Which begs the question: if every place in the world that’s adopted subsidised wind and solar ends up suffering rocketing power prices and an unreliable supply, why would the … Continue reading Unaffordable At Any Price: Why Biden’s ‘Green’ New Deal Will Bankrupt America
Net-Zero Hero: Climate Bureaucrat Busted For Revealing State’s ‘Kill the Poor’ Energy Policy
Not content with depriving the poor of electricity, the climate-industrial complex is determined to “break their will” to heat their hovels and drive their beat up Chevies. Apparently, the punishment meted out by renewables driven power price hikes wasn’t enough to break their selfish mettle. Massachusetts Governor, Charlie Baker is a card-carrying member of the … Continue reading Net-Zero Hero: Climate Bureaucrat Busted For Revealing State’s ‘Kill the Poor’ Energy Policy
Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
So-called ‘progressives’ are long on moral posturing, but short on human compassion. Enamoured with costly wind and solar, and determined to outlaw every last reliable power source, they couldn’t care less about the inevitable spike in power prices that follows, that disproportionately punishes the least fortunate souls among us. Letting granny freeze in the dark … Continue reading Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
Power Pact: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Get the Gold; The Poor Get the Stick
Government mandated subsidies for wind and solar represent the greatest wealth transfer since England’s ‘Bad’ King John sought to tax himself to ultimate power and his enemies out of existence. His description as “avaricious, miserly, extortionate and moneyminded” applies with equal force to today’s crony capitalist kings - the renewable energy rent seekers. Had King … Continue reading Power Pact: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Get the Gold; The Poor Get the Stick
Hidden Cost of Solar: Sunset Delivers Power Price Surge As Governments Dictate Household Power Use
Hereafter, the lights will go on during the day and off after sunset. In the ‘even the Soviets couldn't have dreamt this up’ category sits a plan to force households to use power when they simply do not need it. Backed by the Federal government’s Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme - which delivers taxpayer funded … Continue reading Hidden Cost of Solar: Sunset Delivers Power Price Surge As Governments Dictate Household Power Use
RE Reckoning: Germans Suffer Europe’s Highest Power Prices – 300,000 Families Can’t Afford Electricity
If ever there was an example of what follows from an obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, Germany has to be it. No country went harder or faster than Germany did, when it came to carpeting its landscape with solar panels and wind turbines. The results have been an unmitigated disaster. In the … Continue reading RE Reckoning: Germans Suffer Europe’s Highest Power Prices – 300,000 Families Can’t Afford Electricity
