Daily power rationing is the inevitable product of the ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun powered future. When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in wind and solar power can’t be bought, at any price. So, even at first glance, the perceived logic of supplying consumers with electricity from nothing but wholly … Continue reading Supply Squeeze: Relying on Wind & Solar? Get Ready For Daily Power Rationing

Fake News: Debunking Claims That Britain’s Set to Light Up Europe With Wind Power
Never short on audacity, Britain’s wind industry is now peddling the myth that it’ll soon be lighting up all of Europe. Notwithstanding the fact that it was forced to fire up its coal-fired power plants to overcome the Big Calm in the last months of 2021, when wind power output collapsed across the UK and … Continue reading Fake News: Debunking Claims That Britain’s Set to Light Up Europe With Wind Power
Wake Up Australia: Ban On Nuclear Power Plants Must Go Right Now
Australia’s legislated ban on nuclear power is beyond embarrassing; it’s positively idiotic. But don’t expect the weak and petty Scott Morrison (Australia’s PM for the time being) or Angus Taylor (his Energy Minister for the time being) to mutter a peep about getting rid of Australia’s most hypocritical and ludicrous energy policy as the next … Continue reading Wake Up Australia: Ban On Nuclear Power Plants Must Go Right Now
Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Europe’s insatiable appetite for unreliable wind and solar has left Europeans hungry for any kind of power, provided it’s available on demand. The French have rebooted investment in their 56 existing nuclear plants and are planning a further 14 to add to their enviable fleet. The Brits and the Germans are stoking up their ‘ageing’ … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket
Rocketing power prices were inevitable once Europe decided to put all its energy eggs in the wind power basket. Europe has squandered billions on subsidies to construct tens of thousands of turbines both onshore and off - the Germans managed to spear more than 30,000 across their homeland and are paying a hefty price. By … Continue reading Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket
Deep ‘Green’ Punishment: Power Prices Set To Double In Wind Power Obsessed Britain
Thanks to the UK's love affair with intermittent wind power, Brit’s power bills will double this April when a legislated price cap is lifted; UK power prices are already amongst the highest in Europe. And there is much worse to come. Instead of coming to grips with its self-inflicted renewable energy calamity, its energy brains … Continue reading Deep ‘Green’ Punishment: Power Prices Set To Double In Wind Power Obsessed Britain
Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Anyone looking for a taste of what the ‘transition’ to wind and solar might look like, need look no further than Europe. The best (worst) examples, Germany and the UK are in the middle of self-inflicted energy debacles, with many of their neighbours not far behind. Mass wind droughts - that lasted months at the … Continue reading Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Trust & Truth Deficit: BBC Busted Telling Big Fat Lies About Wind Farm Subsidies
Never let the facts get in the way of the ‘green’ cult’s narrative, seems to be the BBC’s new motto. Its official line is that: “trust is the foundation of the BBC. We’re independent, impartial and honest”. ‘Independent’, maybe. But the Beeb is hardly impartial or honest when it comes to reporting on Britain’s wind … Continue reading Trust & Truth Deficit: BBC Busted Telling Big Fat Lies About Wind Farm Subsidies
2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations
Just when the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was supposed to be in the bag, thoroughly calm weather dashed all hopes. $Trillions in subsidies have been thrown at wind and solar power outfits, with no end to the largess in sight. All the while, the rent seekers and propagandists have been … Continue reading 2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations
Risible Renewables: Weather-Dependent Wind Power – Never There When You Need It Most
Pin your energy needs on the weather, and prepare for disappointment, over and over and over again. South Australians know it, Germans know it, Texans and Californians know it, all too well. In the latter part of 2021, as the Big Calm descended across Western Europe, Brits learned all about it, too. Quietly firing up … Continue reading Risible Renewables: Weather-Dependent Wind Power – Never There When You Need It Most
