Britain’s power consumers are paying a heavy price for its maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to keep up its nuclear plants now looks positively suicidal. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. … Continue reading Net Zero Suicide Watch: Suicidal Energy Policies Deliver Economic Disaster

Crushed: Biggest Wind & Solar State Suffers Astronomical Power Prices
Germany and Denmark suffer Europe’s highest power prices, thanks to their subsidised wind and solar obsession. Likewise, South Australians are being belted by retail power prices that are (dollar for dollar) the highest in the world. As night follows day, any attempt to run on sunshine and breezes leads to out of this world power … Continue reading Crushed: Biggest Wind & Solar State Suffers Astronomical Power Prices
Life Support: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Keeping the Lights On
Thanks to their chaotic intermittency, any increase in wind and solar capacity brings with it their capacity to bring down whole power grids. In Australia, the only thing preventing a total system black are its remaining coal-fired power plants. The very plants that the massive subsidies, punitive mandates and ludicrous wind and solar targets are … Continue reading Life Support: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Keeping the Lights On
Truth in Numbers: Cheap ‘Renewables’ Claim Smashed by Crushing Power Bills
Subsidised wind and solar are the principal reason for rocketing power prices, and rocketing power prices are the principal reason for rocketing inflation. Branded as “cost of living pressures” the rapid doubling and tripling of retail power costs are always and everywhere about the market destruction caused by massive subsidies to intermittent and unreliable wind … Continue reading Truth in Numbers: Cheap ‘Renewables’ Claim Smashed by Crushing Power Bills
Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
The massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar were deliberately designed to wreck coal-fired power generation - the cheapest and most reliable source of all - and that objective is well advanced in Australia. With the forced exit of another coal-fired generator the effect of a calm night (when the combined output of wind and … Continue reading Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
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
