Part-time power has no commercial value, which is why wind and solar are utterly pointless. Every single MW of wind or solar has to be “backed up” with another MW from a dispatchable source, which in the main means coal, gas, nuclear or hydro. Contemplate where your power comes from on a calm night, and … Continue reading No Hopers: Inability to Deliver On Demand Makes Wind & Solar Utterly Pointless

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
Full-blown Financial Meltdown: Offshore Wind Industry’s Collapse Accelerates
America’s offshore wind industry is collapsing, both figuratively and literally. Offshore turbines have grown in capacity and size to the point where they simply collapse into the ocean. As do the financial prospects of those seeking to profit from them. One of the key players offshore - GE’s renewables division - backed up a solid … Continue reading Full-blown Financial Meltdown: Offshore Wind Industry’s Collapse Accelerates
Why Adding More Wind & Solar Always Means Higher Power Prices For Everyone
Finding the numbers that establish the true and insane cost of subsidised wind and solar is like a game of hide and seek. Buried in a sea of complexity and industry mumbo-jumbo, the way power prices are set is part myth and part mystery. Myth and mystery that allows wind and solar rent-seekers to only … Continue reading Why Adding More Wind & Solar Always Means Higher Power Prices For Everyone
Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
Anyone claiming that solar power is a meaningful power source, has never seen a sunset, and they can’t have never seen a hurricane, hailstorm, or snowfall, or witnessed an icy frost. Because each of those planetary and meteorological events destroys either the panels themselves, or their ability to provide power consumers with electricity. In this … Continue reading Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
Hydrocarbons Deliver: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute For Oil, Coal & Gas
The myth that wind and solar are well on the way to replacing the energy provided by oil, coal and gas is just that. With or without mythical mega-batteries, with or without converting wind and solar generated electricity to so-called ‘green’ hydrogen, wind and solar power might occasionally displace conventionally generated electricity, but they haven’t … Continue reading Hydrocarbons Deliver: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute For Oil, Coal & Gas
Monumental Fail: Why Wind & Solar Have No Hope of Ever Delivering Meaningful Power
Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed, is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Power consumers really only get to understand the ‘value’ of wind and solar when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in: that is to say - “worthless”. Power that cannot be delivered on demand has no market … Continue reading Monumental Fail: Why Wind & Solar Have No Hope of Ever Delivering Meaningful Power
New York Con-Job: Trillion Dollar Batteries Not Included In All-Renewables Hoax
The wind and solar scam attracts scoundrels, whose audacity is matched by their capacity to spin fantastic tales. One of which is the claim that giant batteries are all that’s needed to deliver an all wind and sun powered future. It’s a fiction, to be sure. But, as the old propaganda adage has it, the … Continue reading New York Con-Job: Trillion Dollar Batteries Not Included In All-Renewables Hoax
America’s Rural Communities Go On The Offensive Against Big Wind’s Turbine Onslaught
Nothing invokes rage and fury in rural communities like a wind farm comprising dozens and sometimes hundreds of 300 tonne, 200m high monsters. In Germany, locals expressed their opposition in no uncertain terms - voting 25 to 1 against a giant wind project proposed for their patch of paradise: Renewables ‘Transition’ Hits Roadblock: Germans Vote … Continue reading America’s Rural Communities Go On The Offensive Against Big Wind’s Turbine Onslaught
Farmers Fightback: For America’s Amish, ‘Freedom of Religion’ Means Freedom From Industrial Wind Turbines
Andrew Cuomo’s plan to carpet New York State with wind turbines has just collided with its Amish farming communities, fighting back along religious lines. A more devout and God-fearing bunch, you’d be hard to find. Shunning many of the trappings of modern society, the Amish might seem backward to some. But, in the battle against … Continue reading Farmers Fightback: For America’s Amish, ‘Freedom of Religion’ Means Freedom From Industrial Wind Turbines
