Wake Up Australia: Ban On Nuclear Power Plants Must Go Right Now

Australia’s legislated ban on nuclear power is beyond embarrassing; it’s positively idiotic. But don’t expect the weak and petty Scott Morrison (Australia’s PM for the time being) or Angus Taylor (his Energy Minister for the time being) to mutter a peep about getting rid of Australia’s most hypocritical and ludicrous energy policy as the next … Continue reading Wake Up Australia: Ban On Nuclear Power Plants Must Go Right Now

Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis

Europe’s insatiable appetite for unreliable wind and solar has left Europeans hungry for any kind of power, provided it’s available on demand. The French have rebooted investment in their 56 existing nuclear plants and are planning a further 14 to add to their enviable fleet. The Brits and the Germans are stoking up their ‘ageing’ … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis

Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket

Rocketing power prices were inevitable once Europe decided to put all its energy eggs in the wind power basket. Europe has squandered billions on subsidies to construct tens of thousands of turbines both onshore and off - the Germans managed to spear more than 30,000 across their homeland and are paying a hefty price. By … Continue reading Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket

Atomic Attraction: Wind Power’s Abject Failure Forces Europe to Embrace Nuclear Power

To call Europe’s rapid embrace of nuclear power ‘passionate’ is not overstatement. Much to the horror of wind and solar acolytes, a growing number of EU members are ready to declare nuclear power is not only clean and green, but wholly sustainable. Wind and solar-obsessed Germans and Brits are watching power prices go into orbit … Continue reading Atomic Attraction: Wind Power’s Abject Failure Forces Europe to Embrace Nuclear Power

China & Russia Profit From West’s Ludicrous Obsession With Unreliable Wind and Solar

As Germany scrambles to secure the gas needed to prevent their wind and solar ‘powered’ grid from total collapse, Vladimir Putin is laughing all the way to the bank. And the Russians aren’t the only ones profiting from the West’s maniacal obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. China - with plenty of unwilling assistance … Continue reading China & Russia Profit From West’s Ludicrous Obsession With Unreliable Wind and Solar

Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar

Anyone looking for a taste of what the ‘transition’ to wind and solar might look like, need look no further than Europe. The best (worst) examples, Germany and the UK are in the middle of self-inflicted energy debacles, with many of their neighbours not far behind. Mass wind droughts - that lasted months at the … Continue reading Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar

Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered

Wind power never adds up: it doesn’t matter how many turbines carpet your horizons, in calm weather total output always amounts to nothing. For sheer density, the Germans win hands down, with more than 30,000 of these things carpeted across Deutschland’s rural landscapes and, once pristine, forests. And yet, from late September, through October and … Continue reading Pushing On String: Adding More Wind Turbines Doesn’t Mean More Power Gets Delivered

Green New Deal Gamble: Democrats Playing Russian Roulette With America’s Energy Future

Across the globe, the quest for wind and solar power domination has taken on all the menace of a friendly round of Russian roulette. The front runners in the USA, California and Texas, have already experienced life-threatening wind and solar output collapses; during statewide heatwaves in the former, and during last February’s Big Freeze, in … Continue reading Green New Deal Gamble: Democrats Playing Russian Roulette With America’s Energy Future

2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations

Just when the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was supposed to be in the bag, thoroughly calm weather dashed all hopes. $Trillions in subsidies have been thrown at wind and solar power outfits, with no end to the largess in sight. All the while, the rent seekers and propagandists have been … Continue reading 2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations

Reaping The Whirlwind: Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession Sends Power Prices Rocketing

Europeans have squandered untold $billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The only evident results being routine power rationing, blackouts and power prices doubling every 12 months, or so. The article below from Bloomberg lays it out fairly clearly: those countries obsessed with wind and solar are literally reaping the whirlwind, as power prices spiral … Continue reading Reaping The Whirlwind: Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession Sends Power Prices Rocketing
