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

Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
For almost 40 years, wind and solar proponents have been telling us that the subsidies they rely on are only temporary. Which most understood to mean a few years, at most. Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that wind power would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end … Continue reading Simply Insatiable: Wind & Solar Keep Devouring & Demanding Massive Subsidies
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
Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
As the wind and sun cult would have it, the days of ‘dirty fossil fuels’ are done. Never mind that without coal, oil and gas the manufacture and construction of wind turbines and solar panels would be thoroughly impossible. Moreover, without coal-fired power plants and/or gas and diesel backup plants, we’ll all be sitting boiling … Continue reading Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
Business Freeze: Germany’s Last Solar Panel Manufacturers Finally Crushed
Germany’s costly and chaotic wind and solar transition has served up plenty of casualties. Large numbers of energy intensive manufacturers have already bailed out - chasing cheap power prices in places like the US and Singapore. Now, in a rather ironic twist, its solar panel manufacturing industry has all but thrown in the towel. Notwithstanding … Continue reading Business Freeze: Germany’s Last Solar Panel Manufacturers Finally Crushed
Farmers Uninsurable Risk: Solar Factory Neighbours Face Total Financial Ruin
Farmers have no hope of insuring their properties to cover damage caused to neighbouring solar factories. Public liability cover in property insurance contracts ordinarily caps out at around $20 million in Australia. As with any type of insurance, the greater the cover, the greater the premium. Although, there are certain risks that no insurer will … Continue reading Farmers Uninsurable Risk: Solar Factory Neighbours Face Total Financial Ruin
Sun Sets On Subsidised Solar Scam: Solar Energy Share Prices Plummet 40% Overnight
Investors are dumping solar energy shares in the same way users discard worn out panels after their brutally short and punishingly expensive lives. Any ‘industry’ that relies for its existence on other people’s money never lasts all that long. As Margaret Thatcher put it: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of … Continue reading Sun Sets On Subsidised Solar Scam: Solar Energy Share Prices Plummet 40% Overnight
Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
Anyone claiming that solar power is a meaningful power source, has never seen a sunset, and they can’t have never seen a hurricane, hailstorm, or snowfall, or witnessed an icy frost. Because each of those planetary and meteorological events destroys either the panels themselves, or their ability to provide power consumers with electricity. In this … Continue reading Snow Job: Why Sunshine-Dependent Solar Will Never Provide Meaningful Power
Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
The hundreds of $billions paid in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar constitute the largest wealth transfer in economic history - from unwitting power consumers and taxpayers to a cabal of rent-seeking crony capitalists. Greed and avarice drives them, aided and abetted by government mandates, diktats and decrees. Built on lies and running on subsidies, … Continue reading Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth
‘Wind and solar power are cheap and reliable’, ‘war is peace’, ‘freedom is slavery’ or so the Ministry of Truth would have you believe. Perverting the meaning of language is all in a day’s work for the rent-seeking crowd that sit behind wind and solar outfits - ably assisted by a crowd of deranged zealots … Continue reading Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth
