Dry spells, spell hot summers in Australia, which spell load shedding and mass blackouts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. The summer of 2017/18 was a scorcher. Back then, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy-hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Trainwreck: Australians Face More Summer Blackouts

Following California’s Renewable Energy Lead Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices & Blackouts
In their sillier moments, the wind and sun cult point to places like California or Germany as prime examples of energy Nirvana. Then come the facts. California and Germany have most certainly led the charge in backing heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, but they’ve also led the charge on rocketing power prices … Continue reading Following California’s Renewable Energy Lead Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices & Blackouts
‘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
Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
The twisted logic of the wind and solar ‘transition’ means the only way of preventing blackouts is to force users to stop using electricity. Australia’s Federal government is paying energy-hungry businesses (using taxpayer’s money, obviously) to stop producing whatever it is that they produce so they do not use electricity. Because that’s the only way … Continue reading Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
‘Progressive’ Power Policy: Ever-Increasing Prices & Ever-Decreasing Reliability
If your idea of progress means never having power when you need it most, and never being able to afford it when you do get it, then the grand wind and solar transition is for you. Guaranteed to deliver a power pricing and supply calamity, every time, heavily subsidised wind and solar are said to … Continue reading ‘Progressive’ Power Policy: Ever-Increasing Prices & Ever-Decreasing Reliability
Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide
Germany’s energy ‘policy’ reads like a national suicide pact, one that’s delivered a perfectly predictable power pricing and supply catastrophe. For the crippling prices and routine rationing that’s followed, Germans can thank their purported leaders and their unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, German households and businesses … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsessed Energy ‘Policy’ Is National Economic Suicide
Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
The heroic attempt to increasingly rely on unreliable wind power ultimately reveals itself as suicidal. Driving reliable conventional generators off the grid and hoping that they will be replaced (in substance) by chaotically intermittent wind power comes with a grab bag of consequences. Rocketing power prices follow as night follows day; the result of incorporating … Continue reading Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turning First World Economies Into First Order Disasters
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
Europe’s Renewables Reckoning: Power Rationing & Punishing Power Prices Killing Thousands
For the poorest and most vulnerable, staying warm in winter is a daily battle for survival. Thanks to Europe’s (literally suicidal) wind and solar ‘transition’, power prices have spiralled out of control and in Germany power rationing is now routine, likewise in Britain. The Germans, of course, led the charge when it came to throwing … Continue reading Europe’s Renewables Reckoning: Power Rationing & Punishing Power Prices Killing Thousands
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
