The erratic and occasional delivery of wind and solar has sent wholesale power prices into orbit and major energy users are simply being chopped from the grid when wind and/or solar output hits the floor. Consumers have just been hit with retail power bills which are between 20 and 30% higher than the same time last … Continue reading Power Shock: Renewables Meltdown Leaves Australians With Power Shortages & Crippling Power Bills

All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
Calm weather and sunset mean that wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. And mythical grid-scale electricity storage won’t save them, either. Never to be defeated by facts, reason and logic, wind and solar acolytes are quick to point to a rare occasion when their combined output is equal to, or greater … Continue reading All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
Skyrocketing Power Prices & Power Rationing: Germany First To Hit The Wind & Solar Wall
Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply disaster thanks to the world’s most idiotic energy policy, centred on an unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, consumers are bracing for even worse to come.

Wind & Solar Transition Means Transition to Power Rationing & Rocketing Power Bills
When the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought at any price. Increase the capacity of the unreliables connected to your grid and get ready for not only rocketing power bills, but routine power rationing. Once upon a time, electricity was cheap and it flowed like running water. … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Means Transition to Power Rationing & Rocketing Power Bills
No Contest: Coal-Fired Power Outright Winner In Reliable & Affordable Energy Wars
China, India and Indonesia are building hundreds of coal-fired power plants because they deliver electricity all day, every day at prices that everyone can afford. The reason for backing coal-fired power is that simple. And yet thanks to a mixture of mercenary self-interest on the part of renewable energy rent seekers and the wilful ignorance … Continue reading No Contest: Coal-Fired Power Outright Winner In Reliable & Affordable Energy Wars
Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity All Down To Wind & Solar Chaos
Australia’s unfolding power pricing and supply calamity reveals just how critical our coal-fired power plants are if we want power as and when we need it. Sure, there’s a choice between virtue signalling about your love of wind and solar and visceral hatred of “dirty” coal-fired power. But allow the deluded wind and sun … Continue reading Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity All Down To Wind & Solar Chaos
Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity
Europe’s power market is in a diabolical mess: massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar have undermined reliable and affordable power supplies, sending Germany and Denmark’s power prices through the roof (see above). Since Vladimir Putin's adventure in Ukraine, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Perfect Cure For Wind & Solar Driven Pricing & Supply Calamity
How Cynical Elites Have Wrecked Energy Supplies & Ruined Your Economic Future
The attack on our reliable and affordable energy supplies is part treason and part act of war. Internal forces openly conspire to promote the interests of crony capitalists at the expense of the ambitious working class. External forces do the same, but at a grandstanding global level, pressuring and shaming any national government with the … Continue reading How Cynical Elites Have Wrecked Energy Supplies & Ruined Your Economic Future
Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor
Renewable energy rent-seekers come in all shapes and sizes, from mega windfarm outfits to well-to-do middle-class households. And in either instance, it pays never to stand between them and a bucket of someone else’s money. Any threat to the subsidy stream is met with howls about their ‘right’ to benefit from other people’s labours. You … Continue reading Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor
Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
The renewable energy pit deepens, but there’s no indication the dolts in charge will ever stop digging. The, by now obvious, consequences of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes include another annual power price increase of over 20% this month and routine power rationing by postcode. In response, there’s a growing groundswell of hostility … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
