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

Grand Solar Power Rush Ends With Panels Being Used As Garden Fencing

A decade from now, the wind and solar transition will resemble Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole - a place inhabited by lunatics and where nothing makes sense. Massive and seemingly endless subsidies have perverted the ordinary signals that free and open markets deliver. In Europe, the grand wind and solar rush has come to … Continue reading Grand Solar Power Rush Ends With Panels Being Used As Garden Fencing

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

Mercenary Audacity: How Crony Capitalists Drive The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

The Climate Industrial Complex is the perfect playground for billionaire crony capitalists: obscene guaranteed profits are underwritten by power consumers and taxpayers; all the risk is born by the same class of suckers; and weather-obsessed politicos are falling over themselves to engineer new and exciting ways of providing a malevolent elite with opportunities to separate … Continue reading Mercenary Audacity: How Crony Capitalists Drive The Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
