Punishment Guaranteed: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Power Price Shock

The clowns have taken over the circus and are firmly in charge of energy policy, which in its design and implementation makes a three-ringed circus look like a Benedictine Monastery. It's said you shouldn't put down to conspiracy what can be chalked up to incompetence. Well, with Australian power prices rising at double-digit rates every … Continue reading Punishment Guaranteed: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Delivers Power Price Shock

Subsidised Wind & Solar Delivering Crushing Power Prices For Energy-Starved Californians

Looking for insight into the wind and solar ‘transition’? Then start with California - where power prices are crushing the poorest households, and blackouts and routine power rationing are now an accepted part of their attempt to run on heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Power prices, already the highest in the USA, … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Delivering Crushing Power Prices For Energy-Starved Californians

Europe’s Renewables Reckoning: Power Rationing & Punishing Power Prices Killing Thousands

For the poorest and most vulnerable, staying warm in winter is a daily battle for survival. Thanks to Europe’s (literally suicidal) wind and solar ‘transition’, power prices have spiralled out of control and in Germany power rationing is now routine, likewise in Britain. The Germans, of course, led the charge when it came to throwing … Continue reading Europe’s Renewables Reckoning: Power Rationing & Punishing Power Prices Killing Thousands

Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%

Following the closure of another coal-fired power plant, Australians have just been told their power bills will jump by 25 to 30% come July. That colossal hike follows 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 … Continue reading Australians Count Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Power Prices Jump 25-30%

Ireland Squanders €1.3 Billion on Wind Power & Gets World’s Most Expensive Power In Return

Death and taxes are certainties, so is the fact that power prices soon rocket out-of-control, once your power needs depend on the weather. Ireland is no exception. More than €1.3 billion in subsidies has been thrown at wind power outfits in less than a decade, and with little to shown in return - unless, of … Continue reading Ireland Squanders €1.3 Billion on Wind Power & Gets World’s Most Expensive Power In Return

Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever

Apart from wrecking Australia’s reliable and affordable power supplies, there is no Plan A for energy. And there clearly isn’t a Plan B. The Minister in charge of the current fiasco is Chris Bowen. A man who fails to exhibit any sign of intellect, let alone any indication of insight or wisdom. His maniacal mission … Continue reading Australian Energy Minister’s Rejection of Nuclear Power Wins Prize For Dumbest Policy Move Ever

Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit

As wind and solar capacity increases, it becomes increasingly evident they are hopelessly incapable of delivering power as and when we need it. Back in January 2021, Germany shut down 11 coal-fired power plants (with a total capacity of 4.7 GW). That shutdown lasted eight days, with most of the plants up and running by … Continue reading Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit

Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices

Australia’s energy crisis was perfectly predictable and perfectly avoidable. Just over 20 years ago, sound engineering gave way to delusional ideology, obsessed with the notion that wind and solar would provide all the power we could ever need. The rest, as they say, is history. Over time it’s getting harder to convince youngsters that Australia … Continue reading Perfect Insanity: Australia’s Renewable Energy ‘Policy’ Guarantees Blackouts & Rocketing Prices

Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown

Destroying coal-fired power plants is all part of the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ and precisely the point of the subsidies to wind and solar which are designed to allow the unreliables to undercut cheap and reliable coal-fired power, thereby driving coal-fired plants out of business. The inevitable consequences include rocketing power prices and rolling … Continue reading Energy Transition Turns High Farce: Power Prices Surge 80% After Coal-Fired Plant Shutdown

Blackout Prevention Intervention: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texas Spends $Billions On Gas-Powered Plants

Texas has squandered a cool $66 billion on building its wind and solar capacity and the infrastructure needed to support it. The subsidies that have driven the the wind and solar onslaught - principally the Production Tax Credit, as well as state-mandated feed-in tariffs), deliberately designed to relegate the reliable generators (nuclear, coal and gas) to … Continue reading Blackout Prevention Intervention: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texas Spends $Billions On Gas-Powered Plants
