The relationship between crushing power bills and increasing wind and solar capacity is crystal clear. Notwithstanding the persistent claims that the wind and sun are ‘free’. Maybe. But turning sunshine and breezes into meaningful electricity is a whole different (and very costly) exercise. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. And talk about wind … Continue reading Talk’s Cheap: Why Wind & Solar Guarantee Rocketing Power Bills

Shared Misery: Wind & Solar Transition Smashes Businesses and Families
As power prices rocket into orbit, thanks to an obsession with unreliable, subsidised wind and solar, businesses and households are finally waking up to the greatest economic and environmental fraud, of all time. Rural communities being treated as roadkill by industrial wind and solar outfits are furious; and every power consumer understand full well why … Continue reading Shared Misery: Wind & Solar Transition Smashes Businesses and Families
Not Cheap: Offshore Wind Power 4 Times the Cost of Gas and Nuclear Power
New Yorkers are paying a huge price of offshore wind power, which is 4 times the cost of their conventional supplies from gas and nuclear. So much for all that loose talk about wind power being cheap, clean and green. As Willis Eschenbach points out below, for an industry that brags about cost, wind power … Continue reading Not Cheap: Offshore Wind Power 4 Times the Cost of Gas and Nuclear Power
Massive Subsidy Cost Blowout Smashes ‘Cheap’ Solar Power Myth
Where solar power generates hyperbole and myth 24 hours a day, it struggles to produce useful electricity for more than 8 hours out of every 24. Depending where the panels are located in relation to the equator, and the angle of the Sun to the earth (think the height of summer vs the depth of … Continue reading Massive Subsidy Cost Blowout Smashes ‘Cheap’ Solar Power Myth
Failed Wind & Solar Transition Heralds Shift to New-Age Nuclear Power
Every country with an eye on the future is switching to new-age nuclear power generation, joining plenty of other that have had the benefits of safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power for generations. The French long-ago set the benchmark, with a disorderly queue forming across Europe to join them as nuclear energy superpowers. Then there’s … Continue reading Failed Wind & Solar Transition Heralds Shift to New-Age Nuclear Power
Junk Energy: Uncontrollable Domestic Solar Power Generates Total Grid Chaos
Places like California and Australia are victims of their own idiotic domestic solar schemes, scams and subsidies. The disaster was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. But it’s still fun to watch! Sunshine-dependent solar power and wind-dependent wind power have no commercial value because the operators can never tell you when they might … Continue reading Junk Energy: Uncontrollable Domestic Solar Power Generates Total Grid Chaos
Offshore Wind Power Carries Colossal Cost and Delivers Zero Benefits
Never capable of delivering power on demand, offshore wind is as pointless as pushing on string. As the most expensive way of (occasionally) generating electricity, only the terminally insane would consider investing a nickel. Which is why rent-seekers rigged the game with massive subsidies, mandates and tax breaks from the get go. The value of … Continue reading Offshore Wind Power Carries Colossal Cost and Delivers Zero Benefits
Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Power Prices With Much Worse to Come
Think your power bill is crushing now; the worst is yet to come. The grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is - according to the 5 year planners - in its infancy, but already the effects of heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar are being spelt out in record retail power bills. To reach … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Power Prices With Much Worse to Come
No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Rent-seekers keep telling us that wind and solar power are the cheapest of all. Our crushing and ever-increasing power bills wherever wind and solar signify, suggests otherwise. Their propagandists employ a bag of tricks in an effort to support the narrative. The game includes ignoring the capital cost of having every single (unreliable) megawatt of … Continue reading No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear
No Joy In New Jersey: Power Bills Double (Again) In Wind Power Obsessed State
The good folk in New Jersey are just the latest victims of the grand renewable energy ‘transition’. Politicos have backed foreign-owned offshore wind power outfits ahead of local reliable generators and the results are spelt out in black-and-white, with record retail power bills. Retail power prices have doubled in a heartbeat and the socialists in … Continue reading No Joy In New Jersey: Power Bills Double (Again) In Wind Power Obsessed State
