It’s a challenge to distill any sensible narrative from the grand wind and solar transition. The subtext is always and everywhere about deflecting attention from their natural incapacity to deliver power as and when it’s needed. Also known as the ‘hopeless intermittency problem’. The ‘answers’ pitched up seem only limited by the rather fertile (albeit … Continue reading Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged

Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Nuclear works: all day, every day, whatever the weather, no need for batteries and no need for back up. Whereas, wind and solar … well, you know the rest. Incapable of delivering power on demand, the only ‘benefit’ claimed by the wind and sun cult is that wind and solar power purportedly eliminate carbon dioxide … Continue reading Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
The wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you have power, as long as the subsidies keep rolling in. The path to penury - aka the ‘grand renewable energy transition’ - is dimly lit and the future, darker still. But, so it is, when you pin your entire energy hopes on the wind and … Continue reading Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
The Big ‘Renewable’ Energy Lie: Not Cheap, Not Clean, Not Green
Even the proles have worked out that wind and solar aren’t cheap, they aren’t clean and they most certainly aren’t green. Their rocketing power bills are enough evidence to dispose of the ‘cheap’ wind and solar myth. Millions of tonnes of spent solar panels and toxic wind turbine blades being ground up and heading to … Continue reading The Big ‘Renewable’ Energy Lie: Not Cheap, Not Clean, Not Green
Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar
20 years of subsidised wind and solar has caused retail power prices to double or even triple over that period. Attempting to duplicate a perfectly working power generation and distribution system with one that ‘works’, at best, 30% of the time (on average) and never works on calm nights - was always going to end … Continue reading Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar
Let’s Get Serious: Ever-Reliable Nuclear Crushes Hopelessly Intermittent Wind and Solar
Claiming wind and solar betters nuclear power for price and reliability is like turning up to a machine-gun fight with a butter knife. The delusional and courageous are getting slaughtered at every turn. After all, this is an existential fight for the carpet bagging, crony capitalists - who have done so very well out of … Continue reading Let’s Get Serious: Ever-Reliable Nuclear Crushes Hopelessly Intermittent Wind and Solar
Adults Take Charge: Critical Need For Reliable & Affordable Drives Nuclear Power Policy
Chaotic and only occasional wind and solar generation is what you get when infants run the show. Now in a ‘wait til your father gets home’ moment, governments of an adult bent are taking a firm grip on energy policy. Ditching the suicidal renewable energy targets and plumping for nuclear power, principally because it works. … Continue reading Adults Take Charge: Critical Need For Reliable & Affordable Drives Nuclear Power Policy
Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rattled By New Nuclear Power Policy
The wind and sun cult’s infantile reaction to nuclear power demonstrates that it’s the generation source for grown-ups. But it’s not so much the reaction of the propagandists and cheer squad that matters, it’s the response from those profiting from the wind and solar scam that determines the political playing field from here on. Nothing … Continue reading Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rattled By New Nuclear Power Policy
Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
As the wind and sun cult would have it, the days of ‘dirty fossil fuels’ are done. Never mind that without coal, oil and gas the manufacture and construction of wind turbines and solar panels would be thoroughly impossible. Moreover, without coal-fired power plants and/or gas and diesel backup plants, we’ll all be sitting boiling … Continue reading Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
Snookered: Global Nuclear Embrace Destroys Case For Subsidised Wind & Solar
The wind and sun cult have no sensible answer to ever-reliable nuclear power and are terrified at the threat nuclear poses to the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time: hence the fits of rage and apoplexy amongst cultists, carpetbaggers and their political enablers. The nuclear power embrace across Europe has been sudden, swift, … Continue reading Snookered: Global Nuclear Embrace Destroys Case For Subsidised Wind & Solar
