Demand-Limiting ‘Smart’ Meters Inevitable Response to Chaotic Wind & Solar Generation

Governments hooked on chaotically delivered wind and solar soon start restricting and micromanaging household power use around calm weather and sunset. So-called ‘smart meters’ are a very dumb response to intermittent wind and solar - even dumber energy sources. ‘Demand management’ is not about giving power consumers what they need, it simply means shutting off … Continue reading Demand-Limiting ‘Smart’ Meters Inevitable Response to Chaotic Wind & Solar Generation

Energy and the Wealth of Nations: Expensive Energy Guarantees Miserable Poverty

It takes a few nights freezing or boiling in the dark for Westerners to recognise how critical energy is to their lives, health and safety. Helpfully, the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is providing just that kind of opportunity for reflection. Whether it’s mass State-wide blackouts - as wind and solar ‘powered’ South Australians experienced … Continue reading Energy and the Wealth of Nations: Expensive Energy Guarantees Miserable Poverty

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

How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar

The apparent object of the wind and solar ‘transition’ is to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies. The evidence suggests we are well on our way. Hijacked by ideologues with arts degrees and bankrolled by crony capitalists ready to make a fast buck, at your expense, energy policy is playing out as one almighty nightmare … Continue reading How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar

Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing

You’ll own nothing and be happy, and you’ll feel pure bliss, freezing or boiling in the dark. Well, that’s what the wind and solar transition mob would have you believe. However, the likelihood of feeling happy or grateful living in a world without reliable and affordable power is pretty low. Electricity is one of those … Continue reading Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing

Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere

Once upon a time, the object was delivering power to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Not anymore. Chaotically delivered and heavily subsidised wind and solar have another object, and it is not one that their proponents dare speak of. If delivering reliable and affordable power were the object, then no one would be talking about … Continue reading Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere

Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster

Ideological experiments come in all shapes and sizes, but Germany’s wind and solar craze is monumental - a monumental environmental, economic and social disaster, to put it mildly. Suffering routine power rationing, mass blackouts and Europe’s highest power prices is only just the pointy end of what Germany’s boffins called the ‘Energiewende’, which was touted … Continue reading Germany’s Monumental Wind & Solar Power Fail Delivers Total Economic Disaster

Retrograde Renewables: Wind & Solar Transition Means Return to Pre-Industrial Age

Wind and solar are hopelessly unreliable and intermittent, and wild promises of grid-scale storage of wind and solar are a cruel hoax. Dilute and diffuse, no modern economy has powered itself using sunshine and breezes, no country worth its salt, ever will. The wind and sun cult tries to ignore the fact that the story … Continue reading Retrograde Renewables: Wind & Solar Transition Means Return to Pre-Industrial Age

Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants

‘Green’ energy ideologues are terrified of mass blackouts; the moment when the proles work out the wind and solar transition is a monstrous lie. In Germany, the worship of intermittent wind and solar has all the hallmarks of a deranged cult. However, as with most cults, it’s a zealous few that end up driving a … Continue reading Winter Blackout Threat Drives Germany to Fire-Up More Coal-Fired Power Plants

How Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power Drove India From Poverty to The Moon

Coal-fired power is at the heart of India’s mission to lift millions out of poverty. India has 285 plants with a capacity of 211GW already operating; it's currently building a further 30GW of coal-fired generation capacity, with a further 35GW in pre-construction stages. A visit to India shows how serious it is about serious power … Continue reading How Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power Drove India From Poverty to The Moon
