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

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
Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Rent-seekers and the wind and sun cult who run with them are in a flat panic as they realise that their game is up. Mouthing off about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was always going to come unstuck. Reality has a tendency of biting back. Every calm night (ie … Continue reading Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
All Sweat: More Wind & Solar Chaos – State Orders Remote Air-Con Shut Down
When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought, at any price. As we approach our inevitable transition, that means that daily power rationing becomes completely inevitable. The perceived logic of supplying consumers with electricity from nothing but wholly weather-dependent wind power and wholly sunshine-dependent solar power lacks … Continue reading All Sweat: More Wind & Solar Chaos – State Orders Remote Air-Con Shut Down
Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Keep adding wind and solar to your grid and get ready for not only rocketing power bills, but routine power rationing. Once upon a time, electricity was cheap and it flowed like running water. Civil and ordered society demanded it. Nowadays, when the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t … Continue reading Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Hard Time: Brits Face Prison For Using Power When the Wind’s Not Blowing
The wind and solar ‘transition’ was always going to end in a dystopian nightmare, but Brits are already living it. Power is routinely rationed whenever the wind drops and, perversely, households are encouraged to use electricity when wind speeds pick up. The simple truth is that Britain has destroyed its reliable and affordable power supply, … Continue reading Hard Time: Brits Face Prison For Using Power When the Wind’s Not Blowing
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Trainwreck: Australians Face More Summer Blackouts
Dry spells, spell hot summers in Australia, which spell load shedding and mass blackouts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. The summer of 2017/18 was a scorcher. Back then, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy-hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Trainwreck: Australians Face More Summer Blackouts
Following California’s Renewable Energy Lead Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices & Blackouts
In their sillier moments, the wind and sun cult point to places like California or Germany as prime examples of energy Nirvana. Then come the facts. California and Germany have most certainly led the charge in backing heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, but they’ve also led the charge on rocketing power prices … Continue reading Following California’s Renewable Energy Lead Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices & Blackouts
‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
Democratic civil societies were built on having access to energy as and when their citizens need it. Which tends to suggest that the grand wind and solar transition is as uncivilised and undemocratic as it gets. The idea of consumers demanding a commodity with benefits and paying for those benefits in return is pretty much … Continue reading ‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
