Economics is about using scarce resources to meet insatiable wants; in contrast wind and solar devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Diffuse, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources – because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. However, as a source of insatiable … Continue reading Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief

Solar’s Dirty Secret: Chinese Solar Panels Built Using Uyghurs & Kazakh Slave Labour
The CCP’s use of Uyghur and Kazakh slaves allows China to manufacture the world’s cheapest solar panels and the first world to feel smug about using them. You know, that holier-than-thou grin worn by the faux ‘green’ who reckons he’s done his fair share to save the planet by pinning a few kilowatts worth of … Continue reading Solar’s Dirty Secret: Chinese Solar Panels Built Using Uyghurs & Kazakh Slave Labour
Filthy Future: Wind & Solar’s Toxic Waste Legacy Problem For Next Generation
Wind and solar acolytes show their true colours when it comes to the toxic waste legacy being generated by wind turbines and solar panels. In a case of out of sight, out of mind, the fact that thousands of wind turbine blades are already being dumped in landfills and millions of solar panels are headed … Continue reading Filthy Future: Wind & Solar’s Toxic Waste Legacy Problem For Next Generation
You’ve Been Had: Investors Drawn By Massive Solar Subsidy Scam
Add ‘wind’, ‘solar’ or ‘renewable’ to a financial asset and you’ll soon have a line of suckers between here and the horizon. The canny investor knows that, if it’s too good to be true, it is. However, that doesn’t curb the enthusiasm of those eager to take your money and run. Not that the habit … Continue reading You’ve Been Had: Investors Drawn By Massive Solar Subsidy Scam
Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
There is no market for power that cannot be delivered on demand. Which is why, in the absence of subsidies, there wouldn’t be a solar panel or wind turbine in sight. Sure, there are remote locations where a solar panel hooked up to a system of batteries and diesel generators make perfect economic sense. Here … Continue reading Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
Under My Wheels: Why Solar ‘Roadways’ Turned Out to Be An Epic Engineering Fail
Whatever happened to solar roadways? A few years back, embedding PV cells into road surfaces was going to be the next big thing. And then, all of a sudden, it wasn’t. True it is, that the wind and solar cult attracts all sorts of cranks and crackpots, promoting all sorts of harebrained schemes and subsidy-backed … Continue reading Under My Wheels: Why Solar ‘Roadways’ Turned Out to Be An Epic Engineering Fail
Utterly Shameless: Solar Plant Operators Rip-Up & Desecrate Hundreds of American War Graves
Land-hungry, diffuse, intermittent and wholly sunshine-dependent large-scale solar generators exist for one reason: massive subsidies. Devouring whole tracts of countryside, often from horizon to horizon, to produce a trickle of electricity for no more than six hours a day (in the US the average capacity factor for solar is 24.7%), is bad enough. But the … Continue reading Utterly Shameless: Solar Plant Operators Rip-Up & Desecrate Hundreds of American War Graves
‘Green’ Energy Myths Busted: Putting Solar’s Massive Upfront Energy Cost In The Frame
There’s no such thing as “free energy”: both wind and solar generators start their productive life with substantial energy deficits. Of course, their owners and operators are only interested in the subsidies they generate. But others are keen to take full account of the amount of energy employed before wind turbines or solar panels get … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Myths Busted: Putting Solar’s Massive Upfront Energy Cost In The Frame
Environmentally Conscious Amish Farmers Reject Toxic Large-Scale Solar Power Projects
The Amish community has already declared war on wind power, now it’s solar’s turn. A more devout and God-fearing bunch, you’d be hard to find. Shunning many of the trappings of modern society, the Amish might seem backward to some. However, when it comes to taking on America’s rent-seeking wind and solar industries, they’re in … Continue reading Environmentally Conscious Amish Farmers Reject Toxic Large-Scale Solar Power Projects
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Mountains of Toxic Rubbish Dumped in Local Landfills
The millions of solar panels headed for landfill are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium, and heavy earth material. Then there’s the landfill legacy being created by wind turbine blades, with the First World cynically using the Third World as its dumping ground: ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Mountains of Toxic Rubbish Dumped in Local Landfills
