In the mother of all ironies, Europe’s wind and sun cult are complaining about uncooperative weather. The Germans have even coined a word for it: ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather. Which, in reality, means little or nothing by way of output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of … Continue reading Climate Changed: Calm, Gloomy Weather Killing Europe’s Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

UK’s Power Consumers Pay Staggering Price For Wind Power That’s Never Delivered
Obscene is one way to describe the wind power debacle playing out in Britain; power prices are punitive, in calm weather power rationing is normal. And with a bitter winter looming, the worst is yet to come. That untold £billions have already been squandered on subsidies directed to chaotically intermittent wind and solar is bad … Continue reading UK’s Power Consumers Pay Staggering Price For Wind Power That’s Never Delivered
Misery Guaranteed: Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets Mean Taxing Prosperity Out of Existence
As the wind and solar ‘transition’ implodes, the response is to tax the life out of anything still moving, crushing power consumers and taxpayers in the bargain. Ronald Reagan’s quip about how governments treat their economies: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it” is … Continue reading Misery Guaranteed: Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets Mean Taxing Prosperity Out of Existence
Never-‘Green’: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Creates Environment For Total Ecological Disaster
Believing that industrial wind power and solar panels are destined to improve our environment requires high-level cognitive dissonance. It demands that the true believer ignores the wholesale environmental destruction required to mine and process the minerals in rare earths needed for turbines and panels, not to mention the mega-batteries are supposed to lovingly store the … Continue reading Never-‘Green’: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Creates Environment For Total Ecological Disaster
Subsidised Suicide: Wind & Solar Power Chaos Driving Britain’s Rocketing Power Prices
Britain’s power consumers are paying a heavy price for its maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to keep up its nuclear plants now looks positively suicidal. However, of late, the MSM has been dishing up an alternative reality, peddling a line that power prices would be a … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: Wind & Solar Power Chaos Driving Britain’s Rocketing Power Prices
Money For Nothing: Europe Squandered $Trillions On Weather-Dependent Part Time Power
Despite Europe spending €1.2 Trillion on large-scale wind and solar generation, the amount of power being actually delivered in return is risible. Which is precisely what you’d expect from power generation sources which can only deliver anything like their nameplate capacity when the sun is up, in a cloudless sky, and the wind is blowing … Continue reading Money For Nothing: Europe Squandered $Trillions On Weather-Dependent Part Time Power
Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
There’s only one problem with the claim that wind and solar are cheap; that would be the evidence. The power pricing and supply calamity that has struck Britain and Germany, and places like California and South Australia before that, renders the “renewables are cheap” meme little more than delusional nonsense. But the unhinged and unsupported … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Europe’s Wind & Solar Dependent States Scramble To Secure Reliable Supplies
Every country in Europe that hitched its hopes to sunshine and breezes is now in a mad scramble to secure reliable power supplies, before winter starts to bite and demand soars. Watching the debacle playing out across Europe, is a little like the old party game of musical chairs. Every time the music stops at … Continue reading Europe’s Wind & Solar Dependent States Scramble To Secure Reliable Supplies
No Brainer: Safe & Affordable Nuclear Power Provides Perfect Pathway to Clean Energy Future
The renewable energy debacle in Germany means that it won’t axe its nuclear plants and is likely to start building more of them, like their French neighbours. The French, of course, set the benchmark for generating clean, safe and reliable nuclear power; they’ve been doing so for nearly 60 years and still get over 75% … Continue reading No Brainer: Safe & Affordable Nuclear Power Provides Perfect Pathway to Clean Energy Future
Vlad’s Victory: Europe Losing Energy War Thanks to Wind & Solar Obsession
Many a defeat is the product of a grand delusion; Europe’s obsession with wind and solar is just another example. Beaten by Vlad Putin’s ability to restrict the gas it needs to run fast-start-up gas peaking plants (essential to cover rapid and unpredictable collapses in wind output and rapid and wholly predictable collapses in solar … Continue reading Vlad’s Victory: Europe Losing Energy War Thanks to Wind & Solar Obsession
