Renewables Reckoning: German Business Being Throttled by Rocketing Power Prices
There’s something uncanny about the relationship between rocketing power prices and renewable energy: ask a German, Dane or South Australian. The consequences of Germany’s obsession with sunshine and breezes are starting to hit home, with a vengeance. Its economic backbone, referred to as the ‘Mittelstand’ (small to mid-size firms, either in family or private hands) … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: German Business Being Throttled by Rocketing Power Prices
Sudden Wind Change: Wind Industry Wilts as Ontario Scraps ‘Green’ Energy Act
Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne simultaneously destroyed her political fortunes, as she set about destroying one of Canada’s most productive provinces. A raft of policies drawn up by Wynne and her fellow eco-zealots, all safely ensconced in Toronto, resulted in thousands of these things being speared right across Ontario. Furious communities and rocketing power prices are the … Continue reading Sudden Wind Change: Wind Industry Wilts as Ontario Scraps ‘Green’ Energy Act
Wind Industry Myths Busted: Twenty-Five Reasons Why Intermittent Wind Power Fails
Wind power is a monumental failure: not just costly and chaotic, the claim that it amounts to a meaningful power source is pure nonsense. Notorious examples like South Australia, prove the point: this is the state that set and met its own 50% renewable energy target, became renowned as the wind power capital of Australia, … Continue reading Wind Industry Myths Busted: Twenty-Five Reasons Why Intermittent Wind Power Fails
Hype-power: UK’s Woeful Wind Power Performance, More Huff Than Puff
The biggest lie of our time is that the wind can power an entire economy. Every country that’s ever tried has failed - abysmally. The UK is no exception.

Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
The world was overrun by insanely costly and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, thanks to an endless stream of other people’s money. Preaching the gospel about nature’s wonder fuels, isn’t simply about moral posturing and virtue signalling. It’s also about separating taxpayers and power consumers from their hard-earned: over the life of the Federal … Continue reading Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
The wind and solar industries are built on lies and fuelled by subsidies. Angus Taylor is alive to the former and focused on ending the latter. Barely a month into the job, for some reason, the very mention of Angus Taylor sends renewable energy rent seekers into a state of apoplexy. One reason could … Continue reading Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Merkel’s Muddle: Coal Keeps Powering On as Germany’s Renewable Energy Transition Implodes
Germany’s ‘transition’ to wind and solar is a full-scale debacle: rocketing power prices and an unstable grid, the only tangible ‘results’. Anyone still talking about an ‘inevitable transition’ to nature’s wonder fuels, only needs to be reminded about the power pricing and supply calamity that is South Australia. As another example of what follows … Continue reading Merkel’s Muddle: Coal Keeps Powering On as Germany’s Renewable Energy Transition Implodes
