Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos

Blowing up coal-fired power plants comes with a staggering price tag and Australia’s power consumers are paying it, with another round of 20-30% increases in retail power prices only a couple of months away. And that crushing blow sits on top of the routine annual double-digit increases, they’ve been suffering over the last decade. With […]

Night-Time & Calm Weather: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Driving Power Prices Into Orbit

Chaotically intermittent wind and solar are at the heart of surging retail power bills. As wind and solar generation capacity increases, so do power prices. Call it an ‘immutable law’. No country that’s made any serious commitment to ‘transitioning’ to the ‘unreliables’ has seen power prices fall. No, the evidence is all the other way […]

Australians Pay Colossal Price For Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%

In another, ‘we told you so’ moment, retail power prices in Australia will jump by 20% to 30% in June, following annual, double-digit increases every year, for the best part of a decade (see above). $60 billion in subsidies (so far) to chaotically intermittent wind and solar was designed to wreck our conventional coal-fired power […]

Blackout Transition: Intermittent Wind & Solar Power Surge Wrecking California’s Grid

Rocketing power prices and routine blackouts are the inevitable consequence of the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar ‘transition’ – California is no exception. Indeed, thanks to their deranged leaders’ obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, Californians will be lucky to have power, at all. Putting aside the question of whether all but the elite will […]

Put Up or Shut Up: Time For Promoters To Prove Wind & Solar Really Are ‘Cheap & Reliable’

There’s really only one problem with the claim that wind and solar are cheap and reliable, and that would be the evidence. Every country or state that’s committed to wind and solar in any serious way is facing serious power price punishment. Ask a Californian, German, or South Australian and they’ll soon fill you in. […]

No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises

Any increase in dependence on intermittent wind and solar guarantees ever-increasing power prices. In Australia, that trend was set in 2010, following a massive expansion in the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, brought in under then Labor PM, Kevin Rudd. The cost to consumers was always going to be colossal; what the energy boffins didn’t […]

The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up

  Listen to an ideologue, and you’d think the transition to an all wind and sun powered future is simply inevitable. Listen to an engineer, and you’ll soon understand that it is simply impossible. Reliable, dependable and affordable power supplies were the product of logic and reason – the discipline of methodical and ordered thinking, […]

Power Grab: Struggling British Households Forced to Install Pre-Paid Smart Meters

With power prices soaring out of control, it’s little wonder that thousands of British families can’t afford electricity. Every time Britain is hit with a bout of calm weather, wholesale power prices go through the roof. In response to soaring wholesale power prices, the retail price cap that kept a lid on power bills over […]

Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark

Far from threatening human existence, coal and gas have, once again, literally saved thousands of American lives. A bout of what is now known as ‘extreme weather’ demonstrates how extremely stupid it is to rely upon sunshine and breezes for power. During December’s Big Freeze, millions of America’s solar panels were carpeted in snow and […]

Busting The Big Lie: Vesta’s CEO Admits Wind Power Ain’t Cheap & Never Will Be

As big lies go, the claim that wind power is cheap was a whopper that was bound to come a cropper. What wasn’t expected is that one of the world’s biggest profiteers from the great wind power fraud, Danish turbine maker Vestas would be the one to lift the lid. Now they tell us: Wind […]
