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
Mob Rule: How Sicilian Mafiosi Make a Killing From Italy’s Wind & Solar Industries
If the mob are in on it, you can be sure there’s a fast and easy buck to be made, which is why Sicily’s Cosa Nostra long-ago infiltrated Italy’s wind and solar industries. No doubt, providing added valuable protection, wherever it’s needed; no doubt ensuring premium prices for an inferior product. You know, the kind of … Continue reading Mob Rule: How Sicilian Mafiosi Make a Killing From Italy’s Wind & Solar Industries
The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up
https://youtu.be/D_wkyZoIQ-o Listen to an ideologue, and you’d think the transition to an all wind and sun powered future is simply inevitable. Listen to an engineer, and you’ll soon understand that it is simply impossible. Reliable, dependable and affordable power supplies were the product of logic and reason - the discipline of methodical and ordered … Continue reading The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up
SMR Gold Rush: Smart Money Backing Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Europe’s energy crisis is all down to its delusional reliance upon intermittent wind and solar, which is why the smart money is backing nuclear power, at any scale, including Small Modular Reactors. The list of operators investing in SMR technology is growing at such a rate that could be described as an investor gold rush. … Continue reading SMR Gold Rush: Smart Money Backing Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Clear Winner: At Any Scale Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Is The Natural Energy Choice
There are 30 countries where you’ll find nearly 450 nuclear reactors currently operating – including the French, Americans, Canadians, Japanese and Chinese. Another 15 countries are currently building 60 reactors among them. Nuclear power output accounts for over 11% of global electricity production. But not a lick of it in Australia, thanks to an idiotic … Continue reading Clear Winner: At Any Scale Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Is The Natural Energy Choice
‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
The fact that consumers want power as and when they need it, at prices they can afford, has scuttled Germany’s grand wind and solar ‘transition’. This is one of the stories that the MSM has been running away from for years; since February 22, they’ve been running the meme that it’s all Vlad Putin’s fault. … Continue reading ‘Renewables’ Failure Rekindles German Love Affair With Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power
Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
Seems like only yesterday that Germany’s grand wind and solar transition was the talk of the town. Dubbed the “Energiewende”, it was meant to spell an inevitable end to nuclear and coal-fired power, which would soon be replaced by nothing other than forests of wind turbines and seas of solar panels. Well, that was what … Continue reading Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
