Gamblers bet on anything with favourable odds, but betting on wind and sunshine for your power needs means the house always wins - with you sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. America has poured hundreds of $billions in subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and, predictably enough, the grand wind and solar bet … Continue reading ‘Unlucky’ Break: America’s Grand Wind Power Gamble Failing In Spectacular Style

Occasional Wind & Solar Generation Guarantee Staggering Backup Costs
Sunset kills solar output the same way calm weather renders wind turbines utterly useless. Around the world $trillions have been squandered on occasional power generation which is always and everywhere dependent on sunshine and/or the weather. In the beginning, there was a perfectly functional power supply with reliable generators connected by a systematically designed grid … Continue reading Occasional Wind & Solar Generation Guarantee Staggering Backup Costs
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
US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
The only thing scalable about wind and solar is the subsidies gouged from power consumers and/or taxpayers. While rent seekers can plant turbines and scatter solar panels from horizon to horizon, they can’t make the sun shine or the wind blow. Accordingly, sunset and/or calm weather makes the whole thing utterly pointless, at any scale. … Continue reading US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year
Every single job in Britain’s wind and solar industry is costing taxpayers £250,000 every year, ad infinitum. Currently that figure converts to AU$482,000 or US$310,000, which is hardly chump change for a feel good job creation scheme. And the fact that taxpayers will be forking out that kind of cash for every so-called ‘green job’ … Continue reading Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year
Loser Always Pays Staggering Hidden Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Crony capitalists wallowing in wind and solar subsidies and their ideologue enablers make sure the buck always stops with you. The cost of those subsidies is not only endless, it is simply staggering. In Australia the combined figure for subsidies to wind and solar is now in excess of $15 billion annually, and with the … Continue reading Loser Always Pays Staggering Hidden Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All
By December 2019, British wind power outfits had already collected over £650,000,000 in “constraint payments” for doing nothing at all; the cost to power consumers was almost £1 billion over the last five years and that figure is expected to soar. By 2030, wind power outfits across the UK (principally in Scotland) are predicted to … Continue reading UK’s Wind Industry Gets £1 Billion in ‘Constraint Payments’ For Producing Nothing At All
Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Now they’re talking in $trillions, the mere $billions in wind and solar subsidies pocketed so far sounds like chump change. When we’re talking about subsidies to wind and solar, we are including all the thoroughly unnecessary associated costs, like new pumped-hydro schemes; giant lithium-ion batteries; additional fast-start peaking plants (either diesel or gas); and tens … Continue reading Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Why Costly & Unreliable Wind and Solar Threaten Modern Civilisation
Without reliable and affordable electricity, civilisation as we know it wouldn’t last a week. Absolutely everything we do depends on having power as and when we need it. Or, as Tyson Culver and Robert Bryce call it “Juice”. Over several years now, Tyson and Robert have been attempting to educate Americans about where their power … Continue reading Why Costly & Unreliable Wind and Solar Threaten Modern Civilisation
Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful
2023 will go down as the year that the wind industry began its inevitable implosion. Unable to deliver power as and when power consumers need it (therefore generating electricity with no commercial value), the wind industry was only ever the product of mandates, tax breaks and massive subsidies. Call it a Ponzi scheme, call it … Continue reading Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful
