Widely distributed micro power generation using rooftop solar, only increases the vulnerability of power grids. Cyber criminals (aka hackers) often test that kind of vulnerability, as a kind of sporting challenge. Malicious state actors are set up to do so as a prelude to war. Knockout a power grid and your (now powerless) enemy is … Continue reading Hacked Off: CyberCrims Attack Rooftop Solar To Bring Down Entire Grid

Peak Stupidity: Wind & Solar Transition Claims Beyond Comprehension
Once upon a time, those charged with delivering affordable power, as and when we needed it, were responsible, stoic and serious. These days, the energy domain has been overrun by a group of delusional zealots, who act as the spearhead for a band of cynical, billionaire rent-seekers. Politicos love them, and are always keen to … Continue reading Peak Stupidity: Wind & Solar Transition Claims Beyond Comprehension
Totally Busted: California’s Subsidised Solar Scam Implodes
Over-generous subsidies and guaranteed over-the-market prices are the only explanation for rooftop solar. Having millions of mini (occasional) rooftop generation stations (aka domestic residences) never made any sense. Producing notionally ‘useful’ power for 5 or 6 hours a day - weather permitting - never made any sense, but nothing about the grand wind and solar … Continue reading Totally Busted: California’s Subsidised Solar Scam Implodes
Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant
Solar panels love sunshine, dislike clouds and positively detest dust storms, hailstorms and Hurricanes. Now, if they weren’t meant to be producing power as and when we need it, none of that would matter very much, at all. Except that rent-seekers reckon that an endless sea of solar panels, hooked up to a few billion … Continue reading Clouded Future: Government Disconnects Huge Grid-Wrecking Solar Power Plant
Sinking Solar: Sun Sets On Great Subsidised Solar Panel Scam
A decade back, householders with solar panels were the smuggest cats around. These days, not so much. In the beginning, they crowed about the (ludicrously generous) returns from the Government underwritten Feed In Tariffs (FIT) they received for power sent back to the grid (which in many Australian states often topped $0.50 per KWh, the … Continue reading Sinking Solar: Sun Sets On Great Subsidised Solar Panel Scam
Hostage Crisis: Wind, Solar & EV Obsessed West Depends Entirely On China
The CCP is on the perfect path to destroy the West, thanks to our ludicrous obsession with intermittent wind and solar and overpriced electric vehicles. China dominates the production of solar panels, is top-level when it comes to the production of wind turbines (certainly by number of units produced) and is the key producer of … Continue reading Hostage Crisis: Wind, Solar & EV Obsessed West Depends Entirely On China
Britain’s Solar ‘Industry’ Outraged About Brewing Farmland Panel Ban
Delivering electricity less than 25% of the time, without massive subsidies we wouldn’t even be talking about solar power. By far and away the most expensive way of electricity generation there is - and utterly useless from sunset to sunrise - there is no argument in favour of connecting solar panels to an integrated power … Continue reading Britain’s Solar ‘Industry’ Outraged About Brewing Farmland Panel Ban
Electrical Sewage: Power Grid Slugs Householders For Costs of Managing Daily Solar Surge
The inability to control wind and solar output is the very definition of chaos. Domestic solar panels reach their maximum output around noon. At midnight, not so much. Call it all or nothing. Dealing with the noonday surge has become the bane of grid managers and the grand disruptor of once orderly power markets. The … Continue reading Electrical Sewage: Power Grid Slugs Householders For Costs of Managing Daily Solar Surge
All Washed Up: World’s Largest Floating Solar Plant Destroyed By Rough Weather
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are best explained by the fact that the players are always using someone else’s money. Namely yours, as taxpayers and power consumers. The point is best illustrated by the idiotic nature of the enterprise. Expecting entirely wind-dependent and/or sunshine and weather-dependent generation sources to deliver power around-the-clock sounds stupid enough. … Continue reading All Washed Up: World’s Largest Floating Solar Plant Destroyed By Rough Weather
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
