Then there’s … Continue reading Failed Wind & Solar Transition Heralds Shift to New-Age Nuclear Power
Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits - aka ‘dunkelflaute’ - … Continue reading Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
No Joy In New Jersey: Power Bills Double (Again) In Wind Power Obsessed State
The good folk in New Jersey are just the latest victims of the grand renewable energy ‘transition’.
