A mixture of wishful thinking and childish pipedreams, there’s nothing inevitable about the so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar - Sunset remains a fixed feature of daily life, as does stubbornly calm weather. But the acolyte and rent seeker would have us believe that these natural phenomena are either trivial obstacles to be overcome - … Continue reading Total Flop: Nothing ‘Inevitable’ About So-called ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar

Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
Death and taxes are certainties, so too the wind and solar industry’s critical dependence on massive and endless subsidies. Those pushing wind and solar keep telling us that the power they produce is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. Every so often, rent seekers and their political enablers are faced with the retort that, … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
How Big Banks Conspire to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
That the big end of town is keen to profit from the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, is no secret. Banks have been attempting to wreck reliable and affordable power supplies, for the best part of 20 years, dressing it up as “corporate social responsibility”. There’s nothing moral about it; it’s all … Continue reading How Big Banks Conspire to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream
All of a sudden, energy security and affordability is the new black. The Russian onslaught in Ukraine has focused thinking on energy supplies, like nothing before. The West has taken its energy advantages for granted, for far too long. But, the energy pricing and supply calamity that’s followed Vlad’s aggressive bid for territorial expansion, has … Continue reading Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream
Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake
Anyone who still believes in an ‘inevitable’ transition to wind and solar, clearly hasn’t been paying attention. The same crowd tells us that ‘coal is dead’, ignoring the fact that coal demand continues to rise and the record prices paid for the black stuff is through the roof. The Russian advance on Ukraine has only … Continue reading Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake
The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving The Planet, They’re Wrecking It
The idea that unreliable wind and solar can save the planet is one of the greatest lies, ever told. In touting their purported environmental credentials, the crony capitalists, rent-seekers and fawning advocates never take into account any of the associated costs. It’s all sunshine and suitably stiff breezes, as far as the wind and sun … Continue reading The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving The Planet, They’re Wrecking It
Destination Devolution: The ‘Green’ Industrial Revolution – A Monstrous Marxist Lie
Believe that we can run on nothing but sunshine and breezes, then you’ll believe anything. No country has ever run itself on wind and solar power, alone. No country ever will. Even mythical mega-batteries can’t change that equation. Only the truly delusional believe that we can eradicate our reliance upon fossil fuels of all descriptions, … Continue reading Destination Devolution: The ‘Green’ Industrial Revolution – A Monstrous Marxist Lie
RE Bites Back: Europe’s Wind Turbine Makers Can’t Compete With Coal-Powered China
Victims of their own success, Europe’s wind turbine makers are being crushed by rocketing power prices - caused by reliance on intermittent wind and solar. Oh, the irony... The staggering surge in European energy costs has rendered them unable to compete with Chinese manufacturers, whose operations benefit from abundant supplies of nuclear and coal-fired power. … Continue reading RE Bites Back: Europe’s Wind Turbine Makers Can’t Compete With Coal-Powered China
No Nonsense Solution: Nuclear Ultimate Answer to Powering an Energy Hungry World
Nothing focuses thinking on energy policy like not having heat, light and power on tap. With Europe now hostage to its aggressive Eastern neighbour - thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar and the need to back it up with oil and gas - policy wonks of all descriptions have started talking … Continue reading No Nonsense Solution: Nuclear Ultimate Answer to Powering an Energy Hungry World
Old King Coal Trumps Wind & Solar: In An Energy Starved World the Black Stuff Still Rules
Wind and solar advocates keep carping that ‘coal is dead’, as if thermal power generation had gone the same way as the dodo and flared trousers. This wouldn't be the first time an obituary has been published way too early. Mark Twain noted that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. So too, coal-fired … Continue reading Old King Coal Trumps Wind & Solar: In An Energy Starved World the Black Stuff Still Rules
