Leave intellectual pygmies in charge, and weather-dependent wind and solar is what you get. However, not only does their output depend entirely on the weather and/or where the Sun sits in the sky, wind and solar’s capacity to (occasionally) generate power can be eradicated in a matter of minutes. A few hailstones from the heavens … Continue reading Hurricane Havoc: Twisters Wipeout Thousands of Solar Panels Across US

Power Shock: Maine’s Power Users Being Smashed By Massive Solar Subsidy Cost
In a - they didn’t really think solar is free moment - power users in Maine are being belted with crushing power bills and told by the powers that be to expect much more of the same. Where numerous businesses are being driven to the wall, thousands of householders are being hit especially hard, with … Continue reading Power Shock: Maine’s Power Users Being Smashed By Massive Solar Subsidy Cost
Massive Subsidy Cost Blowout Smashes ‘Cheap’ Solar Power Myth
Where solar power generates hyperbole and myth 24 hours a day, it struggles to produce useful electricity for more than 8 hours out of every 24. Depending where the panels are located in relation to the equator, and the angle of the Sun to the earth (think the height of summer vs the depth of … Continue reading Massive Subsidy Cost Blowout Smashes ‘Cheap’ Solar Power Myth
Junk Energy: Uncontrollable Domestic Solar Power Generates Total Grid Chaos
Places like California and Australia are victims of their own idiotic domestic solar schemes, scams and subsidies. The disaster was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. But it’s still fun to watch! Sunshine-dependent solar power and wind-dependent wind power have no commercial value because the operators can never tell you when they might … Continue reading Junk Energy: Uncontrollable Domestic Solar Power Generates Total Grid Chaos
Fake Electricity Rejected: Power Hungry Indians Ditch Pointless Solar Schemes
Only wealthy Westerners have the luxury of pretending to get their power from sunshine and breezes. Elsewhere, there are billions scrambling to have power delivered reliably and affordably, as if their lives and economic futures depend upon it. Which they absolutely do. For as long as cynical NGOs keep peddling ridiculously expensive solar panels – … Continue reading Fake Electricity Rejected: Power Hungry Indians Ditch Pointless Solar Schemes
Hacked Off: CyberCrims Attack Rooftop Solar To Bring Down Entire Grid
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
