Boosters assert that the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar will soon be remedied by the addition of giant lithium batteries. Well, that’s the marketing pitch tossed up by renewable energy rent seekers, anyway. The volume of electricity stored by these so-called ‘giant’ batteries is risible, and their cost astronomical, such that the grid-scale storage … Continue reading Bonfire Bonanza: Giant Lithium Batteries Literally Ready to Explode On Energy Scene

Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators
After Texas’s big freeze exposed wind and solar as total failures, the wind and solar cult have been left licking their wounds. Although, to their credit, they have active despite their injured feelings, viciously blaming everything except the 5G network for the mass blackouts that followed total collapses in wind and solar output. The hard … Continue reading Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators
Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
Identifying the full value of subsidies to wind and solar, has been like a game of hide and seek. Whether it’s renewable energy certificates, production tax credits, preferential access to the power grid, over-the-market government guaranteed contracts, or the hidden costs of the cash penalties attached to government mandates and targets, the wind and solar … Continue reading Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
Biden’s Blackout Nation: ‘Green’ New Deal Promises More Time Freezing or Boiling in the Dark
Sitting freezing or boiling in the dark provides a moment to consider where one’s electricity comes from. Californians, South Australian and now Texans have all enjoyed the experience, one way or another. The common thread, of course, is an obsession with sunshine-dependent solar and/or weather-dependent wind power. The belief that we’re just a heartbeat (and … Continue reading Biden’s Blackout Nation: ‘Green’ New Deal Promises More Time Freezing or Boiling in the Dark
Death Defying: Big Freeze Reveals Insanity of Relying on Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters - getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter. Freezing Germans, desperate for coal-fired power, are probably having a good, hard think about their obsession with ‘green’ energy. Freezing Americans have already had a taste of their wind and … Continue reading Death Defying: Big Freeze Reveals Insanity of Relying on Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Net-Zero Hero: Climate Bureaucrat Busted For Revealing State’s ‘Kill the Poor’ Energy Policy
Not content with depriving the poor of electricity, the climate-industrial complex is determined to “break their will” to heat their hovels and drive their beat up Chevies. Apparently, the punishment meted out by renewables driven power price hikes wasn’t enough to break their selfish mettle. Massachusetts Governor, Charlie Baker is a card-carrying member of the … Continue reading Net-Zero Hero: Climate Bureaucrat Busted For Revealing State’s ‘Kill the Poor’ Energy Policy
Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
So-called ‘progressives’ are long on moral posturing, but short on human compassion. Enamoured with costly wind and solar, and determined to outlaw every last reliable power source, they couldn’t care less about the inevitable spike in power prices that follows, that disproportionately punishes the least fortunate souls among us. Letting granny freeze in the dark … Continue reading Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
America’s Big Chill: Wind Turbines Frozen Solid & Solar Panels Plastered In Snow & Ice
America’s big freeze has wind and solar worshippers scrambling for excuses and shifting blame like snow from their driveways. Following on from Germany’s recent near-death experience, Americans are now realizing - with terrifying clarity - just how crazy brave relying on wholly weather-dependent power sources really is. Particularly when bitter Arctic weather blankets a continent … Continue reading America’s Big Chill: Wind Turbines Frozen Solid & Solar Panels Plastered In Snow & Ice
Going, Going, Gone: Renewables Sector Reels As 150,000 German ‘Green’ Jobs Evaporate
The great ‘green’ jobs ‘bonanza’ is being revealed for the hoax that it truly is. And nowhere is that reality harsher, than in Mutti Merkel’s Germany. Plastered in solar panels (albeit blanketed in snow and ice at the moment) and overrun with 30,000 of these things, Deutschland has been held up as a renewable energy … Continue reading Going, Going, Gone: Renewables Sector Reels As 150,000 German ‘Green’ Jobs Evaporate
Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
Americans who gleefully voted to oust Donald Trump, are about to reap the whirlwind. Biden and his Squad of green-left lunatics are going to visit upon all Americans precisely the same renewable energy chaos that Californians have suffered, for years. Routine power rationing and mass blackouts, as well as being hit with the highest power … Continue reading Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
