Californian Covers Water Supply Channels With Solar Panels – Laden With Toxic Gunk

Solar panels are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. Ground up and dumped in their millions into landfills, it’s not difficult to imagine the effect on water supplies, the environment and human health as their poisonous entrails leach into the water table over the coming … Continue reading Californian Covers Water Supply Channels With Solar Panels – Laden With Toxic Gunk

Dirty Business: CCP Dominates Global Solar Panel Market Using Slave Labour

The fact that China dominates solar panel manufacturers using slave labour tends to take the smugness out of Western virtue signallers. Over time, a few journalists have been able to sneak a peek behind the CCP curtain and bring to light the manner in which China’s ‘employs’ its Uyghur and Kazakh minorities to manufacture the … Continue reading Dirty Business: CCP Dominates Global Solar Panel Market Using Slave Labour

Sun Cult Exuberant Over Brief Moment When Solar Delivered: Then Came Sunset…

  The infantile mentality of the renewables cult is on vivid display when they crow about wind or solar adding something meaningful to the grid. Always brief and fleeting, the 60 minutes when solar or wind did something special, is always trumpeted as if no one else cares about their power needs for the other … Continue reading Sun Cult Exuberant Over Brief Moment When Solar Delivered: Then Came Sunset…

Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves

Goldilocks was evidently the brains behind the ‘engineering’ of wind and solar power, which 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 more resilient. A … Continue reading Goldilocks Power: Why Solar Output Plummets During Heatwaves

Utterly Pointless: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can’t Cut Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions

For renewable energy rent-seekers, the claim that wind and solar reduce carbon oxide gas emissions is a necessary and endlessly repeated lie. The necessity comes from the fact that without that (utterly false) premise the wind and solar industries would have been dead and buried, years ago. Incapable of ever supplying power as and when … Continue reading Utterly Pointless: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can’t Cut Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions

Why Solar Power Can’t Meet Net Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets

Net-zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are driven by climate alarmists and renewable energy rent seekers, eager to profit from the expansion of the great wind and solar subsidy scam. This band of profiteers and charlatans rely upon the notion that wind turbines and solar panels are the only means of reducing carbon dioxide gas emissions … Continue reading Why Solar Power Can’t Meet Net Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets

Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor

Renewable energy rent-seekers come in all shapes and sizes, from mega windfarm outfits to well-to-do middle-class households. And in either instance, it pays never to stand between them and a bucket of someone else’s money. Any threat to the subsidy stream is met with howls about their ‘right’ to benefit from other people’s labours. You … Continue reading Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor

Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter

The wind industry’s mass slaughter of birds and bats is well-known, but the avian carnage caused by solar really rates a mention. Notwithstanding efforts by the wind industry and its pet environmental consultants to conceal the scale of the havoc caused by 60m blades with their outer tips travelling at 350kph, anyone vaguely interested is … Continue reading Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter

The Big ‘Green’ Lie: Why We’ll Never, Ever Be 100% Powered By Wind & Solar Power

The wind and solar acolyte in their more delusional moments readily proclaims that an all-wind and sun-powered future is upon us.  Never mind sunset; never mind dead calm weather; and never mind the fact that the idea that giant lithium-ion batteries economically storing wind and solar power at grid-scale is pure hokum – for the … Continue reading The Big ‘Green’ Lie: Why We’ll Never, Ever Be 100% Powered By Wind & Solar Power
