Start placing serious reliance on wind power and you can safely place your bets on daily disappointment. Such it is in Britain, with month upon month of pitiful performance from its fleet of whirling wonders. During most of September and into October, Europe’s wind farms were the victims of the Big Calm. The Wind Gods … Continue reading UK’s Costly Grid Chaos Continues, As Wind Power Continually Fails to Deliver

Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
There’s a new definition of insanity: trying to satisfy net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets without nuclear power. Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison’s energy policy falls well within that definition, which probably makes this country one of the largest lunatic asylums, on earth. Morrison headed off to Glasgow to join 25,000 virtue signallers, crony capitalists and … Continue reading What Meeting Net-Zero Emissions Targets Without Nuclear Power Will Cost You
Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Add intermittent wind and solar to a power grid and crippling power prices follow, as night follows day. When power generation and delivery was in the hands of engineers, coal and gas-fired plants ran efficiently and costs were low. Now that ideology reigns instead, and lunatics are firmly in charge of the asylum, the efficient … Continue reading Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Scam Alert: How ‘Green’ Energy Companies Are Ripping You Off
So-called ‘green’ power suppliers are finally being called out for the scammers that they truly are. Their pitch was that they would only ever supply you with electrons - lovingly caressed from sunshine and breezes - for a fraction of the cost of power generated using coal, nuclear or gas. Western Europe’s recent Big Calm … Continue reading Scam Alert: How ‘Green’ Energy Companies Are Ripping You Off
Green Narrative to Nowhere: Mainstream Media Buries Truth About True Cost of Net-Zero
Mainstream media tell us that net-zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are the only path to peace and prosperity. Never troubled by the facts that surround them, the mainstream journo ignores every shred of evidence to the contrary and appear to live in a fantasy land disconnected from logic and reason. At the heart of the … Continue reading Green Narrative to Nowhere: Mainstream Media Buries Truth About True Cost of Net-Zero
Post-Renewables Europe: Coal Prevents Mass Blackouts As Great Wind Drought Continues
While hot air output shot up in Glasgow, Europe’s great wind drought continues unabated. Wind power output amounted to a trickle through most of September and into October. We dubbed it the ‘Big Calm’. Well, the Big Calm appears now to be less of an anomaly than the new normal. In Britain, grid operators are … Continue reading Post-Renewables Europe: Coal Prevents Mass Blackouts As Great Wind Drought Continues
Short-Changed: $Billions Spent On Wind & Solar Return Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
All cost and no benefit, chaotically intermittent wind and solar are proven net losers. And yet, the Climate Industrial Complex keeps telling us that the unreliables are central to ‘saving’ the planet. On that score, rather than coming straight out with it, crony capitalists and political elites use the euphemism ‘climate action’. What they really … Continue reading Short-Changed: $Billions Spent On Wind & Solar Return Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Germans Brace For Energy Catastrophe: Prices Set to Triple When Nuclear & Coal Plants Close
Germany’s so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar is an unmitigated disaster: power prices have rocketed and more blackouts loom this winter, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Hellbent on self-destruction, the Germans are planning to kill off their last remaining nuclear power plants and are equally determined to axe all of their … Continue reading Germans Brace For Energy Catastrophe: Prices Set to Triple When Nuclear & Coal Plants Close
Staggering Waste: Counting The Obscene Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
There would not be wind or solar industries in the absence of massive and endless subsidies. Those subsidies are either tacked on top of rocketing power bills and paid for by households and businesses; or they are provided in the form of tax credits or rebates to the owners and operators of wind turbines and … Continue reading Staggering Waste: Counting The Obscene Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
