Electricity is one of those things that is only fully appreciated when a hopeful user is deprived of it. Across Europe, the cultlike fixation on wind and solar has provided precisely the environment in which households and businesses are coming to sense just how important having power as and when they need it, really is. … Continue reading Bitter Reality: Unreliable Renewables Will See Germans Freezing In The Dark This Winter

Reality Bites: Germany’s Wind & Solar Transition Declared Abject Failure
The German government’s cultish obsession with wind and solar is a mixture of wishful thinking and mass delusion. Both have collided with reality as Vlad Putin continues to put the squeeze on Europe’s gas supplies - gas which has been used to run the banks of fast-start-up gas turbines essential to backing up mammoth, sudden … Continue reading Reality Bites: Germany’s Wind & Solar Transition Declared Abject Failure
Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream
All of a sudden, energy security and affordability is the new black. The Russian onslaught in Ukraine has focused thinking on energy supplies, like nothing before. The West has taken its energy advantages for granted, for far too long. But, the energy pricing and supply calamity that’s followed Vlad’s aggressive bid for territorial expansion, has … Continue reading Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream
Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake
Anyone who still believes in an ‘inevitable’ transition to wind and solar, clearly hasn’t been paying attention. The same crowd tells us that ‘coal is dead’, ignoring the fact that coal demand continues to rise and the record prices paid for the black stuff is through the roof. The Russian advance on Ukraine has only … Continue reading Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake
No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip
A month or so back, Germany’s green-infested government was talking up the end of coal and nuclear power plants; the last phase in its ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun-powered future, as the wind and sun cult would have it. Well. That was then, this is now. With the squeeze on Russian gas … Continue reading No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip
Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-4gnNz0vc That the West has become weak and silly, is best exemplified by its concerted efforts to wreck hitherto reliable and affordable energy supplies. While policy wonks will argue forever about the precise casus belli for Putin’s attack on Ukraine, it is unarguable that Europe’s insatiable demand for Russian oil and gas has allowed … Continue reading Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
China and Russia are serious world powers, which is why they are absolutely serious about nuclear power. No country ever deprived itself of reliable and affordable energy and went on to become a world player. Which is why the CCP and Vlad Putin can’t believe their luck with hitherto Western powers doing just that. True … Continue reading No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
Like a giant boa constrictor, oil and gas-rich Vlad Putin has a chokehold on wind and solar-obsessed Europe. ‘Green’ policies designed to wipe out reliable and affordable coal and nuclear power plants - on the pretext that they would be replaced by the chaotic output from wind turbines and solar panels - have long been … Continue reading Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
2021 was the year when the inherent unreliability of wind and solar revealed how everything depends upon reliable and affordable power supplies. The wind and solar ‘industries’ talk a big game; and in their wilder moments even claim to be capable of replacing conventional coal, gas and nuclear generators, altogether. Europe’s months-long wind drought in … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Russian Resurgence: Putin’s Grand Plan to Meet Insatiable Demand for Coal in Asia
As the wind and solar cult would have it, ‘coal is dead’ and wind and solar power are the gloating villains that killed it. Well, that’s the meme, anyway. Back on Earth, coal-fired power and the coal industry that fuels it are in very robust health, indeed. Outside of the virtue signalling Western nations that … Continue reading Russian Resurgence: Putin’s Grand Plan to Meet Insatiable Demand for Coal in Asia
