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

International Climate Changed: Putin’s War Destroys Great ‘Green’ Energy Reset
Vladimir Putin’s march across Ukraine has wrecked plans to slash man-made carbon oxide gas emissions with net-zero targets. Remember a month or so back, when the most pressing challenge was the apparent need to tame global weather using endless subsidies for billions more solar panels and millions more giant industrial wind turbines? When fossil fuels … Continue reading International Climate Changed: Putin’s War Destroys Great ‘Green’ Energy Reset
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
Russia’s Ukrainian Invasion Equation: Europe Ditches Wind & Solar Transition
Like a jilted bride, wind and solar have lost all love and favour as Europe scrambles for reliable and affordable energy. Now it seems that the only inevitable thing about the ‘inevitable transition’ is that when people are forced to choose between electricity delivered reliably and affordably and the purportedly clean and green kind, they … Continue reading Russia’s Ukrainian Invasion Equation: Europe Ditches Wind & Solar Transition
No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip
A month or so back, Germany’s green-infested government was talking up the end of coal and nuclear power plants; the last phase in its ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun-powered future, as the wind and sun cult would have it. Well. That was then, this is now. With the squeeze on Russian gas … Continue reading No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip
Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-4gnNz0vc That the West has become weak and silly, is best exemplified by its concerted efforts to wreck hitherto reliable and affordable energy supplies. While policy wonks will argue forever about the precise casus belli for Putin’s attack on Ukraine, it is unarguable that Europe’s insatiable demand for Russian oil and gas has allowed … Continue reading Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
China and Russia are serious world powers, which is why they are absolutely serious about nuclear power. No country ever deprived itself of reliable and affordable energy and went on to become a world player. Which is why the CCP and Vlad Putin can’t believe their luck with hitherto Western powers doing just that. True … Continue reading No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity
You know it’s a cult when innocents are being wiped out by shells and missiles and they’re fretting that we’ll lose our focus on the weather, as a result. As Russian tanks began shelling family homes across Ukraine, missiles struck home and air raid sirens screamed over Kyiv, John Kerry worried that Vlad’s westward expansion … Continue reading Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity
Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
Like a giant boa constrictor, oil and gas-rich Vlad Putin has a chokehold on wind and solar-obsessed Europe. ‘Green’ policies designed to wipe out reliable and affordable coal and nuclear power plants - on the pretext that they would be replaced by the chaotic output from wind turbines and solar panels - have long been … Continue reading Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
Dumb & Dumber: Germany Wins Prize For World’s Most Idiotic Energy Policy
Germany set the gold standard for idiotic renewable energy policies, although the Brits, Californians, Texans and South Australians are keen contenders for that glittering prize. Thanks to its unhinged obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply calamity. Suffering Europe’s highest power prices, is just the … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Germany Wins Prize For World’s Most Idiotic Energy Policy
