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

Maritime Mauling: Cargo Ship Lucky to Survive Collision With Offshore Wind Turbine

If wild weather and heavy seas weren’t enough to contend with, oceangoing vessels now have thousands of 300 tonne wind turbine towers to dodge and avoid. Recently a German cargo ship the Petra L, came off second-best when it failed to do so. After colliding with one of these giant whirling wonders, the vessel was … Continue reading Maritime Mauling: Cargo Ship Lucky to Survive Collision With Offshore Wind Turbine

Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Furious as French Demand More Nuclear Power Generation

The rent-seekers profiting from the wind and solar scam hate nuclear power with a visceral passion. Nuclear power doesn’t generate carbon dioxide gas, so they can’t rant about ‘carbon pollution’ and ‘catastrophic climate change’, as they do when they’re out to sink the prospects of coal and gas-fired power generators. And the rather other obvious … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Furious as French Demand More Nuclear Power Generation

Ireland Squanders €1.3 Billion on Wind Power & Gets World’s Most Expensive Power In Return

Death and taxes are certainties, so is the fact that power prices soon rocket out-of-control, once your power needs depend on the weather. Ireland is no exception. More than €1.3 billion in subsidies has been thrown at wind power outfits in less than a decade, and with little to shown in return - unless, of … Continue reading Ireland Squanders €1.3 Billion on Wind Power & Gets World’s Most Expensive Power In Return

Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment

Poland’s abundant coal-fired power is often the only thing keeping Germany’s lights on when ‘dunkelflaute’ - gloomy, windless weather - strikes. The ever-pragmatic Poles are likely to keep their coal-fired plants running for generations to come. But, keen to reduce dependence on Russian oil and gas, Poland is developing a plan to build new-generation nuclear … Continue reading Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment

Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure

Germans were said to be rock-solid supporters of the grand ‘plan’ to run on nothing but wind and solar. Well, not anymore. Faced with Europe’s highest power prices (which are still rising at a staggering clip), routine power rationing and blackouts, the German populous seems to have fallen out of love with the notion of … Continue reading Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure

Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy

The fact that the offshore wind industry is screaming for more subsidies undermines their wilder claims about offshore wind power being ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. The true cost of wind power is staggering – the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical: the latter is more than six times the cost of … Continue reading Mounting Construction & Maintenance Costs Explode The Cheap Offshore Wind Fantasy

Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count

On any reckoning, wind power is an abject failure. Dilute and diffuse, chaotically intermittent, insanely costly (when backup costs are included) and a wholesale environmental disaster, wiping out millions of birds, bats and beneficial bugs, and wrecking the livability the rural communities, nothing stacks up apart from the massive and endless subsidies upon which the … Continue reading Wholesale Environmental & Economic Disaster: Why Wind Power Fails on Every Count

Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts

Germany’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster is on display for all to see. It’s a calamity that the MSM refuses to acknowledge. An inconvenient truth, no doubt. Sure, the Russians pulled the plug on gas supplies to Germany, but mother nature does the same with sunshine and breezes, every day. Sunset, cloud cover and calm weather, … Continue reading Common Sense Revisited: Coal-Fired Power Saving Germany From Calm-Weather Blackouts

Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition

Eventually, order emerges from chaos. Thanks to the chaos of Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar disaster, reality is starting to take hold, with the promise of order on the horizon. Investment in new wind turbines and solar panels has plummeted across Europe. Coal-fired power is back in vogue and nuclear plants are the next must-have. … Continue reading Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition
