Boris Johnson reckons wind power’s the future for Britain. If so, it’s a future that will soon resemble England’s bitter Dark Ages. The UK has already had its taste of mass blackouts thanks to sudden and unpredictable collapses in wind power output. Now, as Brits head into winter, it’s a case of much more of … Continue reading Into The Black: Calm Weather Leaves Britain’s Power Grid At Risk Of Total Collapse

Held to Ransom: Smart Meters Shut Off Power Whenever Renewable Energy Output Collapses
So-called smart meters are a very dumb response to intermittent wind and solar, even dumber energy sources. Wherever governments attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, the push to control and micromanage household power use, quickly follows. Over the last few Australian summers, we’ve been treated to power rationing on a grand scale - which … Continue reading Held to Ransom: Smart Meters Shut Off Power Whenever Renewable Energy Output Collapses
Puffins Pummelled: Offshore Wind Turbines Annihilating Britain’s Seabirds: Entire Species Threatened
Plans to erect thousands more of these things around Britain’s coasts, spell the death knell for millions of seabirds, with several species under threat. While Greta frets about global incineration and mass extinctions, the wind industry is doing a very fine job of extinguishing millions of birds and bats, every year. Indeed, entire species are … Continue reading Puffins Pummelled: Offshore Wind Turbines Annihilating Britain’s Seabirds: Entire Species Threatened
Boris Goes Bonkers: UK Set to Squander A Further £50,000,000,000 On Failed Wind Power Experiment
If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then Boris Johnson is clearly barking mad. The UK PM’s latest cunning plan is to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on government guaranteed fixed price contracts - paying way above market rates - subsidies and taxpayer support for chaotically intermittent wind … Continue reading Boris Goes Bonkers: UK Set to Squander A Further £50,000,000,000 On Failed Wind Power Experiment
Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
The true cost of wind power is staggering and, despite wild claims to the contrary, is becoming more even expensive, not less so. Dr John Constable and Gordon Hughes have done what the mainstream media have never done and what renewable energy rent seekers would rather they didn’t: they’ve opened the books of account to … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
Energy Unplugged: Government Plans to Cut Your Power Whenever Wind & Solar Output Collapses
Visit the Third World and you’ll quickly understand the importance of having power as and when you need it. In the Western World, an obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar will save you the trip. Wind and solar ‘powered’ South Australians and Californians know all about Third World power supplies - with routine rationing, … Continue reading Energy Unplugged: Government Plans to Cut Your Power Whenever Wind & Solar Output Collapses
For Peat’s Sake: CO2 Emissions Rise as Wind Turbines Destroy Europe’s Ancient Bog Lands
Endless subsidies for wind turbines are said to be justified by the CO2 emissions they purportedly save. Europe’s peat bogs - natural CO2 sinks - are being ripped up, drained and destroyed to make way for these things, all in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions. Gouging 30m deep pits and filling them with 400-500 … Continue reading For Peat’s Sake: CO2 Emissions Rise as Wind Turbines Destroy Europe’s Ancient Bog Lands
Simple Arithmetic: Why Net Zero Emissions Targets Will Never Be Met By Wind & Solar
Net zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are just the latest wheeze to grip our political betters, driven by climate alarmists and rent seekers ready to profit from the wind and solar subsidy scam. The idea that modern economies can function without the energy generated by fossil-fuels (whether consumed by motorcars or in power generation) is … Continue reading Simple Arithmetic: Why Net Zero Emissions Targets Will Never Be Met By Wind & Solar
No Free Lunch: The Truly Gobsmacking Cost of Generating Offshore Wind Power
Effervescent claims that offshore wind power is cheap have fallen flat. When the rising capital cost of taking wind turbines offshore is accounted for, the power that they occasionally generate turns out to be the most expensive electricity of all, and by a very substantial margin. A couple of years back in the UK, rent … Continue reading No Free Lunch: The Truly Gobsmacking Cost of Generating Offshore Wind Power
No Brainer: Britain’s Government Backs Nuclear Solution for Wind & Solar Chaos
It appears the penny has finally dropped. Having worked out that wind and solar will never work, the British government is now backing the development of advanced modular nuclear reactors. The idea that a modern economy can power itself on sunshine and breezes is nonsense. Not so with ever-reliable nuclear power. There are around 450 nuclear … Continue reading No Brainer: Britain’s Government Backs Nuclear Solution for Wind & Solar Chaos
