China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist. Neither of them has any interest in signing up to the latest suicidal energy policies being promoted by a bunch of cynical, rent-seeking elites; pitched as the last chance to save the planet from imminent incineration. High on emotive rhetoric, and low … Continue reading Appetite For Destruction: Western Governments Ready to Sign Net-Zero Suicide Pact

Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
Try living a day without a reliable power supply; then try living a life-time without it. If the doomsday cult that’s thrusting hopelessly unreliable and insanely expensive wind and solar down our throats had its way, then that’s what a future ‘civilisation’ will look like. For those not willing to make an immediate sacrifice to … Continue reading Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
‘Green’ Energy’s Epic Fail: Wind Gods Conspire to Ruin Europe’s Wind Power ‘Transition’
Europe’s ‘green’ energy transition has turned into high farce, with wind power output collapsing across the continent. The wind Gods are clearly angry. Britain and Germany have been in the doldrums for weeks; the gas needed to plug the gaps is in short supply, with the price of both gas and electricity, skyrocketing. The power … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Epic Fail: Wind Gods Conspire to Ruin Europe’s Wind Power ‘Transition’
Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch
Appears the climate doomsayers were right: the ‘Big Calm’ has struck Britain and Western Europe - slashing wind power output, without relent. Far from being the panacea for a changing climate, wind power generation is now, apparently, a victim. Over the last few months, wind power output has thoroughly collapsed in Germany, across Western Europe … Continue reading Climate Short-Changed: Big Calm Heralds Britain’s Renewable Energy Crunch
Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Wind power is, by definition, a wholly weather-dependent power source. So, it should come as no surprise that - whenever a burst of calm-weather hits - those charged with responsibility for delivering power, as and when we need it, scramble to obtain it from any convenient and, more importantly, reliable source. Which is why Germany … Continue reading Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Ontario’s government determined to eliminate coal-fired power in the deluded belief that wind power would soon replace it. The result, as the protesters above predicted, has been an unmitigated economic disaster. Power prices in the Province have spiralled out of control, as a direct result of its suicidal energy policy. Thousands of jobs have been … Continue reading Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Wind & Solar Suicide Squad’s Deliberate Destruction Of Europe’s Power Supply
If the wind and solar rent-seekers destroying our power supplies know what they’re doing, it’s criminal; if they don’t, it’s still criminal. However, the penalty is not borne by them, but by you and me. Where the premise for part-time power is said to be a looming climate ‘catastrophe’, it’s the power supply catastrophe that … Continue reading Wind & Solar Suicide Squad’s Deliberate Destruction Of Europe’s Power Supply
Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, the price gouging by the owners of reliable power generation plant, begins. When those paragons of corporate virtue that ran Enron started ripping off Californian power consumers during the late 1990s, they did it by shutting down gas pipelines and pretending gas-fired power plants were off-line … Continue reading Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
The Hidden Victims of ‘Green’ Virtue Signalling: Renewable Energy Costs Crushing Working Poor
Subsidised wind and solar is a playground for the vain, rich and cynical, and its victims are always on the wrong side of the tracks; unseen and unheard. Energy poverty is now an entrenched feature of first-world economies wherever wind and solar play any prominence in power systems. And it’s not simply the fact that … Continue reading The Hidden Victims of ‘Green’ Virtue Signalling: Renewable Energy Costs Crushing Working Poor
Follow the Money: Politicians Plugging Wind & Solar Pocketing Untold $Millions
Crony capitalism is the new ‘Green’: every politician plugging wind and solar will eventually be caught pocketing cash for his time and trouble. Sure, there’s an ostensible sense of virtue when an MP propounds renewables as a solution to all the world’s perceived ills. But it doesn’t take much digging to work out precisely why … Continue reading Follow the Money: Politicians Plugging Wind & Solar Pocketing Untold $Millions
