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
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Leaves Germans Suffering Europe’s Highest Power Prices
German power prices, already the highest in Europe, have gone stratospheric. Once Europe’s industrial powerhouse, Germany is fast headed for economic ruin and social disaster. 20 years back, Germany’s Green/Socialist utopians - utterly detached from reality - dreamt up the ‘Energiewende’. However, the purported ‘transition’ to an all-wind and sun-powered future has turned dystopian nightmare. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Leaves Germans Suffering Europe’s Highest Power Prices
‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
Democratic civil societies were built on having access to energy as and when their citizens need it. Which tends to suggest that the grand wind and solar transition is as uncivilised and undemocratic as it gets. The idea of consumers demanding a commodity with benefits and paying for those benefits in return is pretty much … Continue reading ‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
No Substitute: Poverty Reduction Depends On Access To Energy Rich Coal, Oil & Gas
The first step out of grinding poverty starts with access to energy-rich hydrocarbons: ie coal, oil and gas. Third World governments are continually berated by opportunistic globalists who claim to be saving the planet by forcing them to take up insanely expensive and thoroughly unreliable wind and solar. Some are duped, sure enough. But it … Continue reading No Substitute: Poverty Reduction Depends On Access To Energy Rich Coal, Oil & Gas
Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster
You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But Germany’s wind and sun cult are struggling to fool all of the people, for all time. Slowly but surely, the average German is working out that they have been played for fools. As Charles MacKay observed: “Men, it has been well said, think … Continue reading Masses Fightback: Germans Mobilize Against €Trillion Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Disaster
Subsidised Wind & Solar Delivering Crushing Power Prices For Energy-Starved Californians
Looking for insight into the wind and solar ‘transition’? Then start with California - where power prices are crushing the poorest households, and blackouts and routine power rationing are now an accepted part of their attempt to run on heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Power prices, already the highest in the USA, … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Delivering Crushing Power Prices For Energy-Starved Californians
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%
