Those smug know-it-alls that champion wind and solar power persistently claim the high moral ground, but religiously ignore the inevitable victims of their faux eco-zealotry: the poorest and most vulnerable in society, for whom paying for power has become an existential battle. To the billions in the Third World, where electricity has for too long … Continue reading Determined to Destroy Cheap Power Supplies – Renewables Zealots Out to Kill the Poor

Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
Claims that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for 25 years are a proven nonsense. What wind worshippers tend to forget is that these things have a useful (that is to say ‘economic’) lifespan of around 12 years. Subsidies are what built them. Subsidies are what run them. So, … Continue reading Kaput!: German Wind Farms Set for Dismantling as Subsidies Dry Up
German Wind Industry Collapse Imminent: Engineering Professor Deems ‘Energiewende’ Terminal

Counting the Cost of Subsidised Wind Power: Some Basic Facts
The generation that have come to worship wind and solar power operate in a fact and consequence free zone, where logic and reason were bound and gagged from the beginning. Their finest trait is their ability to shift the narrative, when troublesome facts - like blackouts caused by wind power output collapses and rocketing power … Continue reading Counting the Cost of Subsidised Wind Power: Some Basic Facts
Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’
As that great frog-philosopher, Kermit reckoned, it isn't easy being 'green'. It is even harder when the cost of attempting to do so is, quite literally, crippling. Back in July, a family-owned specialist plastics recycling company in South Australia was forced to close its doors for good, with the loss of 35 jobs, after … Continue reading Politics of Power: ‘Green’ Energy May Be ‘Wonderful’ – But Nobody Wants to Pay for Being ‘Green’ or Feeling ‘Wonderful’

Australian power consumers currently connected to the Eastern Grid (that connects Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania) have no idea just how close they are to watching their first total ‘system … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar: Guaranteed Path to Rocketing Prices & Blackouts
Malice as a ‘Virtue’: Cost of Subsidised Renewables Power Means the Poorest Go Hungry
Worshipping windmills and posing prostrate before panels is a fast track towards being regarded by one’s peers as the King or Queen of the Virtue Signallers. Moral posturing begins with an appropriately preened identity, which can be paraded in front of all, provided that it’s PC perfect. Hence, the use of a motley bearded, hipster … Continue reading Malice as a ‘Virtue’: Cost of Subsidised Renewables Power Means the Poorest Go Hungry
