Crushing power costs and power rationing follow wind and solar reliance, like night follows day. Texas is no exception. Bullying power consumers to stop consuming power is par for the course; chiselling taxpayers to cover the exorbitant cost of making up for power shortfalls when the wind stops blowing and/or the sun sets, is grist … Continue reading Lone Stars: Texans Count Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Once the engineers were banished and the bureaucrats took charge, the fate of reliable and affordable energy supplies was sealed. Trashing coal-fired power plants, demonising nuclear power and squandering untold $billions on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar would have never happened if the engineers were left alone to run the show. The results are difficult … Continue reading Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Renewable Energy Madness: Why Net-Zero CO2 Targets Herald New Miserable Dark Age
Wisdom comes with experience: people soon wise up to the reality of the wind and solar ‘transition’ once they’ve spent time freezing or boiling in the dark. Over time, the experience will be shared by more of our compatriots on planet Earth. Obsessive, indeed maniacal, renewable energy policies are a guarantee of crippling power bills … Continue reading Renewable Energy Madness: Why Net-Zero CO2 Targets Herald New Miserable Dark Age
How Big Tech’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ Helps Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Silence Their Critics
Anyone with the temerity to tip a bucket on the subsidised wind and solar scam is soon removed from the public square by Big Tech, their online personas “vaporized” and their writings relegated to the “memory hole”. George Orwell conjured up his nightmare world of malicious bureaucrats engaged in pernicious mind control in his novel, … Continue reading How Big Tech’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ Helps Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Silence Their Critics
Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Spells R.I.P. For Reliable Power Supplies
Reliance on weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar means the end for reliable and affordable power supplies. Australia’s wind and solar obsession is beginning to bite, with power prices soaring out of control and power rationing the new normal. With a new band of hard-green-left lunatics in charge, things will only get worse. In America, things … Continue reading Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Spells R.I.P. For Reliable Power Supplies
Wind & Solar Subsidies Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Wind and solar subsidies were designed to undermine the owners of reliable power generation plants, making them uncompetitive in the first instance and ultimately putting them out of business. The problem with that model, though, is that once-reliable generators are knocked off the grid, power consumers are then forced to pay the full price of … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
Wind and solar generators happily take credit when the sun’s up and the wind’s blowing, but dodge all criticism when blackouts follow sunset and/or calm weather. The standard trick is to point in every direction - except the obvious - when power rationing (euphemistically called “demand management”) or unplanned power rationing (aka widespread blackouts) follows … Continue reading Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
Total collapses in wind and solar output during last year’s big freeze meant that hundreds of Texans froze to death. 12 months on and, apparently, little’s been learnt. During America’s big freeze last February, wind turbines were frozen solid across Texas and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event. … Continue reading Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
Jo Biden’s Anti-Fossil Fuel Policies Wrecking American Energy Independence
Not so long ago, the USA went from a net energy importer to exporter. Now, thanks to Joe Biden and his anti-fossil fuel Squad, it’s fast becoming a third-rate energy power. With the erratic and dithering Biden struggling to get a grip on reality in the midst of an energy crisis, Americans are watching their … Continue reading Jo Biden’s Anti-Fossil Fuel Policies Wrecking American Energy Independence
Brace For Blackouts: World’s Reliance On Unreliable Wind & Solar Spells Energy Disaster
Topping the list of things that seemed like a good idea at the time sits wind and solar power. What, with the energy sources that drive them free and natural; with no visible emissions of spent gas or fumes; with their shiny panels harvesting the sun’s rays and delivering electricity for five or six hours … Continue reading Brace For Blackouts: World’s Reliance On Unreliable Wind & Solar Spells Energy Disaster
