Delusions come in various sizes, but the biggest of all is the claim that we’ll soon be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. With the prospect of a Sleepy Joe Biden Presidency and the imposition of the Squad’s economy-wrecking New Green Deal the delusion is about to take on monstrous proportions. So, no time … Continue reading Glorious Fiction: Busting the Myth that Wind & Solar Will Soon Power the Planet

In-a-Nutshell: New Research Shows Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Power Us
There’s a reason not to support heavily subsidised wind and solar: they simply don’t work as meaningful power sources; they never have and never will. A team of Irish and US-based researchers have produced a comprehensive piece of research explaining just why any dollar spent propping up chaotically intermittent wind and solar with taxpayer’s money, … Continue reading In-a-Nutshell: New Research Shows Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Can Never Power Us
Decade of Despair: Counting Staggering Cost of Ontario’s Wind Power Disaster
It took Ontario’s Green-left lunatics less than a decade to destroy its once reliable and eminently affordable power supply. It was deliberate, it was malicious and it was, in economy wrecking terms, very effective. Dressed up under the guise of its Green Energy Act, the mandated targets for, and preferential treatment of, wind power, the … Continue reading Decade of Despair: Counting Staggering Cost of Ontario’s Wind Power Disaster
Boris Goes Bonkers: UK Set to Squander A Further £50,000,000,000 On Failed Wind Power Experiment
If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then Boris Johnson is clearly barking mad. The UK PM’s latest cunning plan is to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on government guaranteed fixed price contracts - paying way above market rates - subsidies and taxpayer support for chaotically intermittent wind … Continue reading Boris Goes Bonkers: UK Set to Squander A Further £50,000,000,000 On Failed Wind Power Experiment
Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Becomes Western Civilisation’s Economic Suicide Pact
If economic suicide was the object, then our current obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar will surely deliver it. Rocketing power prices, power rationing and rolling blackouts are all part and parcel of any serious attempt to run on sunshine and breezes. Ask a Californian or South Australian: both suffer power … Continue reading Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Becomes Western Civilisation’s Economic Suicide Pact
Renewables Reckoning: Wind & Solar Deliver Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Australia’s renewable energy policy reads more like a suicide note than an energy roadmap. In a couple of months - as temperatures rise and, so too, the demand for electricity to power millions of air conditioners - the power rationing will begin in earnest (again) and the daily spot price for electricity will go through … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Wind & Solar Deliver Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Australian Power Prices Set to Surge With Interconnector To Wind/Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
A maniacal reliance on chaotically intermittent wind and solar poses an existential threat to Australia’s power grid. And Australia's power problems have absolutely nothing to do with the grid itself. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to the Eastern Grid during July. Spread from Far North … Continue reading Australian Power Prices Set to Surge With Interconnector To Wind/Solar ‘Powered’ South Australia
Sunshine’s Free: But Solar Power’s More Than Double the Cost of Fossil Fuels and Nuclear
Sure, sunshine may be free, but solar power is the most expensive stuff around. And, of course, when the sky clouds up or the sun sets, solar power simply can’t be bought at any price. Assume, for the moment, the wind always blew and the sun always shone, then wind and solar power just might … Continue reading Sunshine’s Free: But Solar Power’s More Than Double the Cost of Fossil Fuels and Nuclear
No More Waste: Time To End Obsession With Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power
The arguments against wind power are myriad, but the simplest and most obvious is that it simply doesn’t work: never has; never will. Keen to avoid the power pricing and supply calamity that’s beset wind and solar obsessed California – the Benton Public Utility District has come out swinging, declaring that there is no place … Continue reading No More Waste: Time To End Obsession With Intermittent & Unreliable Wind Power
Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
The true cost of wind power is staggering and, despite wild claims to the contrary, is becoming more even expensive, not less so. Dr John Constable and Gordon Hughes have done what the mainstream media have never done and what renewable energy rent seekers would rather they didn’t: they’ve opened the books of account to … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
