Mobile device users dread the moment when their phone or tablet signals the end of what’s stored on board, prompting furtive efforts to reconnect to the power grid. Sure, over time, battery life has improved on smart phones and iPads, but hitting the natural limit of the power that can be stored in such … Continue reading Plugging In: The ‘Batteries Will Save Intermittent Wind & Solar’ Myth Goes Up In Flames

Hour of Power: $2 Billion Spent on Solar Panels to ‘Power’ State With Sunshine for 60 Minutes
In the wacko wonderland of South Australia, a brief burst of sunshine managed to ‘power’ the economic backwater for a staggering 60 minutes. SA is venerated as Australia’s Wind and Solar capital; and the renewables cult is heralding this, apparently, momentous event as their ‘Hour of Power’. Their childish cheering, ignores the fact that … Continue reading Hour of Power: $2 Billion Spent on Solar Panels to ‘Power’ State With Sunshine for 60 Minutes
Time to Dump Subsidised Solar & Get Serious About Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
There’s not much wrong with solar power; except its exorbitant cost, limited and unreliable delivery and the toxic cocktail left behind when the panels expire after a decade of service, and end up crushed up in landfills. In remote locations, backed up with batteries and diesel generators, solar makes sense. However, in populated urban centres … Continue reading Time to Dump Subsidised Solar & Get Serious About Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
Sunshine’s Free: But Solar Power’s More Than Double the Cost of Fossil Fuels and Nuclear
Sure, sunshine may be free, but solar power is the most expensive stuff around. And, of course, when the sky clouds up or the sun sets, solar power simply can’t be bought at any price. Assume, for the moment, the wind always blew and the sun always shone, then wind and solar power just might … Continue reading Sunshine’s Free: But Solar Power’s More Than Double the Cost of Fossil Fuels and Nuclear
Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
The true cost of wind power is staggering and, despite wild claims to the contrary, is becoming more even expensive, not less so. Dr John Constable and Gordon Hughes have done what the mainstream media have never done and what renewable energy rent seekers would rather they didn’t: they’ve opened the books of account to … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
Lingering Legacy: Millions of Toxic Solar Panels That Can’t Be Recycled Destined for Landfills
Around the globe, millions upon millions of solar panels have reached their use by dates; they can’t be recycled, which means they’re destined for the local dump. Each panel is a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. As the stuff leeches into the water table, … Continue reading Lingering Legacy: Millions of Toxic Solar Panels That Can’t Be Recycled Destined for Landfills
Why Wind & Solar Are Pointless: ‘Renewables Will Power Us’ Myth, Smashed Again
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. But that’s the premise advanced by wind and sun worshippers and the rent seekers that profit from the greatest subsidy scam in human history. Putting aside their chaotic intermittency, the staggering amount … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Pointless: ‘Renewables Will Power Us’ Myth, Smashed Again
S-O-S: Coal-Fired Power Only Answer to Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Faced with rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse, the Morrison Federal government remains committed to the policies that caused the debacle. Instead of ensuring the survival of Australia’s extensive coal-fired power fleet and building new High Efficiency Low Emissions coal-plants, the PM and his Energy Minister have selected a … Continue reading S-O-S: Coal-Fired Power Only Answer to Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Digging It: Mines, Minerals, and “Green” Energy: A Reality Check
It takes audacity to suggest that the wholesale environmental destruction wreaked by the wind and solar industries is all for the good of planet. Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans managed to lift the lid on green hypocrisy, focusing on the raft of inconvenient truths behind the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. Such as … Continue reading Digging It: Mines, Minerals, and “Green” Energy: A Reality Check
Barking Mad: Australia’s Ludicrous Plan To Send Subsidised Solar Power 3,350KM From Darwin to Singapore
Australia’s energy policy is a joke, but a plan to send subsidised solar power to Singapore proves lunatics really have taken over the asylum. The Morrison Federal government has given major project status to a 10GW undersea cable to run from Darwin to Singapore over a distance of at least 3,350 km. The cost of … Continue reading Barking Mad: Australia’s Ludicrous Plan To Send Subsidised Solar Power 3,350KM From Darwin to Singapore
