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’
Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing
You’ll own nothing and be happy, and you’ll feel pure bliss, freezing or boiling in the dark. Well, that’s what the wind and solar transition mob would have you believe. However, the likelihood of feeling happy or grateful living in a world without reliable and affordable power is pretty low. Electricity is one of those … Continue reading Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing
Practical Reality: Off-Road Campers Grapple With Solar Power’s Natural Limits
https://youtu.be/HQthAzrrzkg?si=QRqmGfcAuf0mIsPe The Sun cult reckon solar (with a few $trillion worth of lithium-ion batteries) is already capable of powering the planet. Reality begs to differ. The performance claims made by solar panel sales reps are always overhyped. Actual output never matches the numbers laid out in glossy brochures or on slick websites. A lot of … Continue reading Practical Reality: Off-Road Campers Grapple With Solar Power’s Natural Limits
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
Falsehoods & Fictions: Why Models Claiming Wind & Solar Are Cheap Don’t Stack Up
Wind and solar provide cheap electricity, until you start comparing them with every other power source available. The true cost of wind and solar is inextricably linked with the weather (in the case of wind power) and sunshine (in the case of solar power). A healthy snow dump knocks solar out of the competition just … Continue reading Falsehoods & Fictions: Why Models Claiming Wind & Solar Are Cheap Don’t Stack Up
