The vacuous ninnies promoting the line that the world can run without hydrocarbons are always rattled by news to the contrary. As much a symptom of ideological groupthink, as evidence of the West’s woefully inadequate system of general education, the Extinction Rebellion crowd would have it that coal, oil and gas are forms of toxic … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar’s Contribution To World Energy Demand Will Always Be Trivial

‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
There is a cult that holds an unshakeable belief that wind and solar has already defeated coal, oil and gas. Not that there is any real contest. Indeed, without the hydrocarbons there would be no solar panels or wind turbines. Moreover, were we ever to attempt to rely on wind and solar power generation alone, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
Biden’s Impossible Dream: US Wind & Solar Energy ‘Transition’ Pure Fantasy
Believe the MSM, and you’d think that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is a race that’s already won. Peel the onion back, however, and you’ll find a very different picture, indeed. The wilder claims from rent-seekers the louder the cheers of witless approval from the stands. At present, the USA and Australia are running … Continue reading Biden’s Impossible Dream: US Wind & Solar Energy ‘Transition’ Pure Fantasy
Total Calamity: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ On Collision Course With Bitter Reality
If what has been done to energy policy was the work of outside forces, it’d be called an ‘act of war’. Sadly, it’s all from the home team and better described as ‘outright treason.’ Australia is, without doubt, the most over governed country on earth, with more mouthpieces and slackers per head of population than … Continue reading Total Calamity: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ On Collision Course With Bitter Reality
Planned For Failure: Shutdown Coal-Fired Power Plants & Get Ready For Blackouts
Power grids are finally balanced affairs that were never designed for the haphazard occasional delivery of wind and solar. Maintaining voltage and frequency within critical defined tolerances is a cinch with conventional generators, like nuclear, gas and coal-fired plants, which deliver the goods, around-the-clock and irrespective of the weather. Around 20 years ago, deranged zealots … Continue reading Planned For Failure: Shutdown Coal-Fired Power Plants & Get Ready For Blackouts
Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
The heroic attempt to increasingly rely on unreliable wind power ultimately reveals itself as suicidal. Driving reliable conventional generators off the grid and hoping that they will be replaced (in substance) by chaotically intermittent wind power comes with a grab bag of consequences. Rocketing power prices follow as night follows day; the result of incorporating … Continue reading Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
Straight to Plan ‘D’: All Wind & Solar Net Zero Target Spells ‘D’ for Daily Disaster
Hubris is what drives wild claims that we can run on nothing but wind and solar; a case of bullish arrogance outdoing starry-eyed ambition. Net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions target are all the rage. And, so rent-seeking crony capitalists tell us, the only way of satisfying those targets is by going all in with wind … Continue reading Straight to Plan ‘D’: All Wind & Solar Net Zero Target Spells ‘D’ for Daily Disaster
Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Wind and solar have justly earned the tag ‘unreliables’: sunset and calm weather are inevitable, whereas the so-called ‘inevitable renewable energy transition’, is anything but. The Germans call it ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather and a total collapse in output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar … Continue reading Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition
Eventually, order emerges from chaos. Thanks to the chaos of Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar disaster, reality is starting to take hold, with the promise of order on the horizon. Investment in new wind turbines and solar panels has plummeted across Europe. Coal-fired power is back in vogue and nuclear plants are the next must-have. … Continue reading Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition
Nut-Zero: Wind & Solar Cult Promise Shared Stone-Age Misery For All (Bar Them)
The wind and sun cult reckon that with a few tweaks and twists we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. It is, of course, a collective delusion, bound up in a woolly-headed brand of undergraduate Marxism - the kind enamoured of starry-eyed arts and sociology students, around the globe. On their world … Continue reading Nut-Zero: Wind & Solar Cult Promise Shared Stone-Age Misery For All (Bar Them)
