The inherent absurdity in our headline is precisely the point. No one in touch with reality expects wind power during calm weather or solar power when the sun sets. No one believes that wind and solar generators can simply ‘turn it up’ on a calm night. Oh no, that responsibility is always left to conventional … Continue reading Freezing In The Dark? Just Ask Wind & Solar Generators to ‘Turn It Up’

Sunset & Calm Weather Reveal Wind and Solar’s Inherent & Fatal Flaw
If a 9-year-old proposed wind and solar as a generation system, you’d give her a gold star but tell her to do better next time. You’d go on to explain that electricity is needed around-the-clock, irrespective of the weather, and that households and businesses want to operate without interruption. Your tutorial on energy supply and … Continue reading Sunset & Calm Weather Reveal Wind and Solar’s Inherent & Fatal Flaw
Wind & Solar Generators Couldn’t Care Less When You’re Freezing In The Dark
Solar panels smothered with snow and ice produce nothing; wind turbines frozen solid during breathless, frigid weather produce even less (they actually consume power from the grid to run heating systems meant to prevent their internal workings suffering permanent damage). So, if you’re sitting freezing in the dark, don’t expect wind and solar power generators … Continue reading Wind & Solar Generators Couldn’t Care Less When You’re Freezing In The Dark
Frozen Supply: Unreliable Wind & Solar Means US Faces More Winter Blackouts
Northern hemisphere winters are particularly brutal on wind turbines and solar panels, the former frozen solid and the latter blanketed in snow and ice. The result being no power from either. Peak winter conditions are perfect for revealing the peak stupidity of attempting to power first world economies with generation systems that deliver nothing but … Continue reading Frozen Supply: Unreliable Wind & Solar Means US Faces More Winter Blackouts
Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Saves Germany From Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Disaster
Vlad Putin can’t be blamed for blanketing Germany’s millions of solar panels in snow and ice, or freezing solid their 30,000 wind turbines. Nor can Vlad be convicted for this (and every previous) winter’s long periods of gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’, as Germans call it. No, Germany’s current energy catastrophe is the perfectly predictable … Continue reading Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Saves Germany From Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Disaster
Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Far from threatening human existence, coal and gas have, once again, literally saved thousands of American lives. A bout of what is now known as ‘extreme weather’ demonstrates how extremely stupid it is to rely upon sunshine and breezes for power. During December’s Big Freeze, millions of America’s solar panels were carpeted in snow and … Continue reading Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
