Given the choice, power consumers would have rejected the wind and solar transition and the net-zero CO2 madness that underpins it, from the outset. At the heart of their new-found and growing hostility is the question of who benefits? And who pays? Having been repeatedly pounded with off-the-charts electricity bills, the great unwashed are starting … Continue reading Voters Reject Net-Zero Madness: Wind & Solar Transition Faces Serious Opposition

Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen
Wind and solar rent seekers have all the style and menacing panache of the 17th-century highwaymen. It takes real audacity to look your victims in the eye and demand even more subsidies on top of the obscene pile rent seekers have already drawn from taxpayers and power consumers. But these boys are dripping in audacity. … Continue reading Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen
Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
For more than a decade, acolytes and crony capitalists have run the story that offshore wind power is free, and getting cheaper all the time. However, the reality doesn’t match the rhetoric. In the UK, offshore outfits refused to bid at the figures offered by government in the auction by which future (guaranteed) contract prices … Continue reading Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Always Deliver Higher Power Prices
Looking to thank someone for your latest power bill, then look no further than subsidised wind and solar. The ‘unreliables’ are the principal reason why retail power bills are rising at unprecedented rates. Behind the curtain, there are a number of forces at work which, over the last decade or so, have entirely upended the … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Always Deliver Higher Power Prices
Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage
Wind and solar rent-seekers are laughing all the way to the bank, with your money. Subsidising wind and solar operators under the mantle of reaching mythical net-zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets comes with a staggering cost: wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies. The cult that drives it all, has seriously underestimated the proles’ … Continue reading Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage
No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers
So much for all the cheap talk about wind power being cheap. Offshore wind power is so expensive it can’t attract a buyer. In the UK, the last round of the government’s annual auction - which awards 15-year contracts to wind and solar generators, taking their occasional produce at a set price - did not … Continue reading No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers
Hard Time: Brits Face Prison For Using Power When the Wind’s Not Blowing
The wind and solar ‘transition’ was always going to end in a dystopian nightmare, but Brits are already living it. Power is routinely rationed whenever the wind drops and, perversely, households are encouraged to use electricity when wind speeds pick up. The simple truth is that Britain has destroyed its reliable and affordable power supply, … Continue reading Hard Time: Brits Face Prison For Using Power When the Wind’s Not Blowing
Offshore Freefall: Wind Industry Faces Economic Reality (And Doesn’t Like It)
Built on myth and lies and running on subsidies, the wind industry was never going to last. Set a false business narrative and, eventually, economic reality comes sweeping in like a Panzer division on steroids. Cheery propaganda does not always result in profits. Start with the story about wind power being the cheapest of all, … Continue reading Offshore Freefall: Wind Industry Faces Economic Reality (And Doesn’t Like It)
Britain’s Wind Industry In Freefall: Rising Costs See More Major Projects Scrapped
The value of subsidies to wind power is falling, while the cost of erecting and operating these things has skyrocketed. The result is a complete collapse in wind power capacity investment in Britain, and elsewhere. The usual suspects are running a mile from projects that were (on paper) worth billions. While the wind industry pretends … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Industry In Freefall: Rising Costs See More Major Projects Scrapped
High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
Solar panels are not the most robust of power generation sources. A blanket of snow and ice readily kills their occasional, sunshine-dependent output. They tend not to appreciate gale-force winds (see above) and hailstones of any substance are usually fatal (see below). A few weeks ago, STT reported on a burst of hot weather in … Continue reading High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
