No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers

So much for all the cheap talk about wind power being cheap. Offshore wind power is so expensive it can’t attract a buyer. In the UK, the last round of the government’s annual auction - which awards 15-year contracts to wind and solar generators, taking their occasional produce at a set price - did not … Continue reading No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers

Costs Blowout: Rocketing Power Prices Keep Proving Wind & Solar Most Expensive

Households and businesses faced with crippling power bills are just another bad optic for renewable energy rent seekers. The political support upon which the seemingly endless flow of massive subsidies depends, in turn, depends on the proles’ attitude to those charged with delivering reliable and affordable power. Having just been whacked with 20-30% increases in … Continue reading Costs Blowout: Rocketing Power Prices Keep Proving Wind & Solar Most Expensive

Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge

When disaster threatens the rational retreat, but the clown soldiers on and even doubles down, accelerating the race to oblivion. Facts are treated with contempt; reality with derision. So it is with the grand wind and solar transition. It’s a disease of the mind that allows for the belief that a first world economy can … Continue reading Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge

How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Keep Adding Wind & Solar

Without exception, every country that’s plugged into the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering from crippling power prices and unreliable delivery. The relationship is so stark as to be blindingly obvious; and one that was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. Paying wind and solar operators seemingly endless and practically countless $billions … Continue reading How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Keep Adding Wind & Solar

Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy

As wind and solar capacity increases, Germany’s once thriving economy shrinks. And it’s the sudden and dramatic collapse in German industrial output that’s allowed the wind and sun cult to cry ‘victory’ with a claim - based on a statistical fudge - that Germany obtained 50% of its power from ‘renewable’ sources. Sitting behind the … Continue reading Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy

Energy Hungry World Drives Obvious Demand for Cheap, Reliable Coal-Fired Power

Germany and Australia share delusional obsessions with wind and solar power; but they also share a desperate demand for reliable coal-fired power. Hidden from sight, both Germany and Australia have recognised (albeit a little too late) that the only way of delivering 24 x 365 power, whatever the weather at prices everyone can afford is … Continue reading Energy Hungry World Drives Obvious Demand for Cheap, Reliable Coal-Fired Power

Offshore Freefall: Wind Industry Faces Economic Reality (And Doesn’t Like It)

Built on myth and lies and running on subsidies, the wind industry was never going to last. Set a false business narrative and, eventually, economic reality comes sweeping in like a Panzer division on steroids. Cheery propaganda does not always result in profits. Start with the story about wind power being the cheapest of all, … Continue reading Offshore Freefall: Wind Industry Faces Economic Reality (And Doesn’t Like It)

Subsidised Wind & Solar Debacle Delivers Massive Power Price Shock

Every country that’s tapped into the grand wind and solar transition has left power consumers suffering from Post Transition Stress Disorder - where households and businesses are being pounded with power prices at unprecedented rates. Australia, is no exception. At the minute Australians are being bombarded by media attempts to convince a wholly nonracist Australian … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Debacle Delivers Massive Power Price Shock

Talk’s Cheap: Wind & Solar The Most Expensive Power Sources

The only way wind and solar look cheap is by ignoring every associated cost attached to generating power using sunshine and breezes. For the last 20 years, the wind industry has presented numbers that never add up. Its accounting ‘methods’ include vastly overstating output (revenue) and grossly understating generating costs (including Operations and Maintenance) (expenses); … Continue reading Talk’s Cheap: Wind & Solar The Most Expensive Power Sources

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Leaves Germans Suffering Europe’s Highest Power Prices

German power prices, already the highest in Europe, have gone stratospheric. Once Europe’s industrial powerhouse, Germany is fast headed for economic ruin and social disaster. 20 years back, Germany’s Green/Socialist utopians - utterly detached from reality - dreamt up the ‘Energiewende’. However, the purported ‘transition’ to an all-wind and sun-powered future has turned dystopian nightmare. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Leaves Germans Suffering Europe’s Highest Power Prices
