Solar panels are not the most robust of power generation sources. A blanket of snow and ice readily kills their occasional, sunshine-dependent output. They tend not to appreciate gale-force winds (see above) and hailstones of any substance are usually fatal (see below). A few weeks ago, STT reported on a burst of hot weather in … Continue reading High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output

200 Million Tonnes of Toxic Solar Panels Destined For Landfills Near You
So-called 'green' energy is struggling with a monumental image problem: the toxic waste being dumped in landfills around the world. Millions of solar panels have already reached their use-by dates; they can’t be recycled, which means they’re destined for the local dump - in mind-boggling quantities. Then there's the threat to health that concentrated dumping … Continue reading 200 Million Tonnes of Toxic Solar Panels Destined For Landfills Near You
‘Progressive’ Power Policy: Ever-Increasing Prices & Ever-Decreasing Reliability
If your idea of progress means never having power when you need it most, and never being able to afford it when you do get it, then the grand wind and solar transition is for you. Guaranteed to deliver a power pricing and supply calamity, every time, heavily subsidised wind and solar are said to … Continue reading ‘Progressive’ Power Policy: Ever-Increasing Prices & Ever-Decreasing Reliability
Solar Power Outfit Hit With $135m in Fines & Damages For Polluting Neighbour’s Land
The wind and solar ‘industries’ always struggle with their neighbours, principally because they treat them as ‘roadkill’. But that model doesn’t work when those neighbours are determined to fight back, using every legal means available. Such is the case with Shaun and Amie Harris, who took a solar power outfit to court seeking damages for … Continue reading Solar Power Outfit Hit With $135m in Fines & Damages For Polluting Neighbour’s Land
Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather
Goldilocks-thinking is the basis for the wind and solar transition, which relies on power sources that can only operate when conditions are “just right”. When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. Solar panels aren’t any … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Saves Day: Wind & Solar Output Collapses During Hot, Calm Weather
Blood Panels: Chinese Solar Industry Built On Industrial Scale Slavery
The CCP’s use of Uyghur and Kazakh slaves allows China to manufacture the world’s cheapest solar panels and the first world to feel smug about using them to purportedly 'save the Planet'. Aalthough, evidently, these noble Western saviours aren't so concerned with those places where daily life is spent under lock and key and every … Continue reading Blood Panels: Chinese Solar Industry Built On Industrial Scale Slavery
Why Naturally Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Europeans with any sense have woken up to the fact that the much-touted wind and solar ‘transition’ is a cruel hoax driven by cynical crony capitalists and their political enablers. Driven by starry-eyed ideology, rather than sound engineering and economics, the great ‘green’ reset fell apart because households, businesses and industries aren’t prepared to limit … Continue reading Why Naturally Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Our power grids were working just fine, until unreliable, intermittent and diffuse wind and solar turned up. Insanely costly in any event, now we’re told that our ‘inevitable transition’ will cost $trillions more, with the additional cost that comes with hooking up thousands more wind turbines and millions more solar panels, spread far and wide. … Continue reading Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions
Clown Show: Wind & Solar Obsessed Idiots Now Firmly In Charge of Energy Policy
If the delusion that we’re destined to run on nothing but wind and solar were a disease, it would have been declared a pandemic, long ago. The symptoms are readily observed - a trenchant and unshakeable belief that wind and solar can completely replace, coal, gas and nuclear power - they’re contagious and almost impossible … Continue reading Clown Show: Wind & Solar Obsessed Idiots Now Firmly In Charge of Energy Policy
Snow Job: Busting The Myth That Solar Panels Plus Battery Storage Can Power the World
The claim that solar panels plus a few mega-batteries can power the entire world represents one of the ‘green’ energy cult’s sillier moments. And there are plenty to choose from, to be sure. Powering a domestic house with solar panels and batteries is possible, but costly. Especially if the batteries are lithium-ion numbers, the kind … Continue reading Snow Job: Busting The Myth That Solar Panels Plus Battery Storage Can Power the World
