Electricity is a civilising force; once seen as a common good to be provided universally to those without it, but no longer. For the impoverished power is a path out of poverty and not just a means of lighting homes and cooking meals. The political class that trumpet global warming as the singular threat to … Continue reading Morality Fail: Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar Are Being Used To Keep Millions In Poverty

Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster
When a notionally first world economy can’t keep the lights on, you’ll find an overreliance on wind and solar at the heart of it. So it is in California. As in Germany, as in South Australia, Californians are victims of a maniacal obsession with wind turbines and solar panels. The consequences are as perfectly predictable, … Continue reading Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster
Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
Australia’s renewable energy target has subsidised wind and solar to the tune of more than $60 billion, wrecked its grid and driven power prices through the roof. Its manufacturing industry is in tatters (tens of thousands of jobs have disappeared forever); energy-intensive mineral processors, such as aluminium, copper lead and zinc smelters are on life … Continue reading Endless Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar are an Economic Suicide Pact
California’s Renewable Energy Meltdown: Power Prices Rocket Amidst Rolling Blackouts
Want unaffordable and unreliable power? Then wind and solar are just the ticket. With their grid on the very brink of collapse, Californians are suffering from rocketing power prices - all thanks to a ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes. Even when the sun is shining, the wind is blowing and power is … Continue reading California’s Renewable Energy Meltdown: Power Prices Rocket Amidst Rolling Blackouts
Enough is Enough: Time to End (Endless) Gravy Train for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Countless $billions are being squandered on subsidies to unreliable wind and solar, every single day. Wind and solar power don’t run on sunshine and breezes, they run on a seemingly endless stream of subsidies - without which, we simply wouldn’t be having this discussion. The merest hint threat of a cut to the subsidies sends … Continue reading Enough is Enough: Time to End (Endless) Gravy Train for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
The wind and sun may be free, but wind and solar power are anything but. Hidden ‘green’ taxes, costs and charges, not to mention massive subsidies redirected from both taxpayers and power consumers to wind and solar generators are just the beginning. The market distortions created by those subsidies have wrecked the ability of conventional … Continue reading Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
Subsidy Bonanza: Wind Industry Demands Even More Subsidies for Pointless Transmission Lines
Wind power will never truly compete with reliable generators, hence the endless subsidies. Now, the wind industry wants even more subsidies to pay for the transmission lines that would allow it to send its chaotic wares halfway across Australia. The claim is that another so-called ‘interconnector’ will help South Australian wind power outfits to deliver … Continue reading Subsidy Bonanza: Wind Industry Demands Even More Subsidies for Pointless Transmission Lines
Avoidable Self Harm: Dogged Reliance On Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Power Supply Chaos
Sign up for wind and solar and receive power supply chaos as just one of the added extras, along with rocketing power prices and a wave of social and environmental havoc. Australia has been on the path since 2001 when Federal Liberal PM, John Howard introduced his Renewable Energy Target. The Target was greatly expanded … Continue reading Avoidable Self Harm: Dogged Reliance On Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Power Supply Chaos
Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Energy Mirage: Or ‘How To Squander $Trillions of Taxpayers’ Money’
For an example of how unhinged the Democrat’s energy policy is, then Biden’s offshore wind energy plan takes the cake. The fact that offshore wind power has already proven to be a phenomenally expensive way of generating electricity clearly hasn’t registered. Nor has the fact that it’s no more reliable than wind power generated onshore, … Continue reading Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Energy Mirage: Or ‘How To Squander $Trillions of Taxpayers’ Money’
Emergency Response: Wind & Solar Debacle Forces Government to Build Gas-Fired Power Plants
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. The cancer started in wind and solar obsessed South Australia; renowned for Australia’s highest retail power prices and its most unreliable power delivery. But the disease soon spread, which is not surprising given that it all started with the Federal government’s … Continue reading Emergency Response: Wind & Solar Debacle Forces Government to Build Gas-Fired Power Plants
