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
Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas
The fact that every country that’s increased reliance on wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices is incontrovertible. And that simple relationship puts paid to the myth that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas, principally because it’s heavily subsidised wind and solar that are (occasionally) displacing coal and gas-fired power. When … Continue reading Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas
Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
The wind and sun cult never admit it, but if it weren’t for coal-fired power Australia’s grid would have collapsed, long ago. Chugging away for the best part of a century, Australia’s coal-fired plants continue to provide power reliably, on demand, whatever the weather. No need for batteries, no need for back up. And, as … Continue reading Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies
The wind ‘industry’ chews through $billions of other people’s money every day, but it’s never enough. Part of the problem is the metric of their mantra. Telling everyone that wind power ‘is cheap’ and getting cheaper all the time doesn’t gel with ‘forever’ subsidies, renewable targets, mandates and guaranteed prices for power which is delivered … Continue reading Cry Babies: Wind Industry Demands Even More Massive Taxpayer Backed Subsidies
Hard Lessons From Britain’s ‘Green’ Energy Disaster Freely Available For All
The fool learns from his own experience, the wise tend to learn from the experience of others. In that respect, Britain provides the perfect opportunity for students of energy policy to avoid their very own self-inflicted wind and solar calamity. Britain went all in with its grand offshore wind experiment - accordingly, power prices rocketed … Continue reading Hard Lessons From Britain’s ‘Green’ Energy Disaster Freely Available For All
Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
The twisted logic of the wind and solar ‘transition’ means the only way of preventing blackouts is to force users to stop using electricity. Australia’s Federal government is paying energy-hungry businesses (using taxpayer’s money, obviously) to stop producing whatever it is that they produce so they do not use electricity. Because that’s the only way … Continue reading Power Demand Management Result of Power Supply Mismanagement
