The West’s obsession with the unreliables, wind and solar was guaranteed to end in tears - the weather-driven power rationing and rocketing power prices were as perfectly predictable, as they were perfectly avoidable. Every country that has hitched its energy future to sunshine and breezes is facing both a power pricing and supply calamity. Wind … Continue reading Utopian Fantasyland: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Total Delusion Being Sold By Total Fools

Nuclear Renaissance Heralds Immortal Age of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power
Nuclear power isn’t expensive: the nuclear-powered French pay around half what wind and solar-powered Danes and Germans do (see above). And the French don’t suffer the power rationing and blackouts their German neighbours do, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Indeed, it’s nuclear power from France and coal-fired power from Poland that … Continue reading Nuclear Renaissance Heralds Immortal Age of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power
Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when households and businesses need it, has absolutely no commercial value. Hence the massive and endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and the punitive mandates that force retailers to take it, ahead of the reliable and affordable stuff. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output … Continue reading Daily Delivery Fails: Why Weather-Dependent Wind Power Will Always Be Utterly Pointless
Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
The failure to advance nuclear power in this country to replace coal-fired plants being driven out of business by massive subsidies to wind and solar beggars belief. Everyone with half a brain is alive to the fact that chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are responsible for Australia's power pricing and supply calamity Australian households … Continue reading Net-Zero Targets Obsession Guaranteed to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Demand Control: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Routine State-Controlled Power Rationing
Delusional reliance on unreliable wind and solar is a reason that governments are interfering in consumers’ power usage. Pitched under the euphemism “demand management”, state-controlled power rationing is the natural consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. When the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought … Continue reading Demand Control: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Routine State-Controlled Power Rationing
No More Lip Service: The Time for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear is Right Now
Australia’s Renewable Energy Target directs more than $7 billion a year in subsidies to wind and solar and is doing precisely what it was designed to do: namely, destroying Australia’s reliable and affordable power supplies. At the political level, the scramble is now on to keep coal-fired power plants up and running, wait for it, … Continue reading No More Lip Service: The Time for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear is Right Now
Renewable Energy Madness: Why Net-Zero CO2 Targets Herald New Miserable Dark Age
Wisdom comes with experience: people soon wise up to the reality of the wind and solar ‘transition’ once they’ve spent time freezing or boiling in the dark. Over time, the experience will be shared by more of our compatriots on planet Earth. Obsessive, indeed maniacal, renewable energy policies are a guarantee of crippling power bills … Continue reading Renewable Energy Madness: Why Net-Zero CO2 Targets Herald New Miserable Dark Age

That hundreds of thousands of people in Europe’s richest economy are forced to heat their homes … Continue reading Unable to Pay Their Rocketing Power Bills, Germans Told to ‘Huddle Up’ Next Winter
Poor Punishment: Energy Poverty Inevitable Result of Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Germans are learning the truth about chaotically intermittent wind and solar, the hard way. Their erstwhile supplier is making the depth of their dependence on Russian gas keenly felt as he maintains his efforts to subjugate Ukraine and get Ukraine’s Western backers to back off. Across Europe, rushes recent squeeze on gas supplies has focused … Continue reading Poor Punishment: Energy Poverty Inevitable Result of Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
