Incapable of increasing their output to match an increase in demand, wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources. No, for every single MW of wind and solar capacity there has to be another MW of reliable, dispatchable power generation somewhere else, connected to the grid, and ready to deliver the goods, … Continue reading Ever Escalating Price of Wind & Solar: The More You Have, The More You Pay

Hide & Seek: Exposing The (Colossal) Hidden Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
The wind industry can never keep its story straight. One minute it’s cheap and competitive, the next its screaming for more subsidies, because it can’t compete. Claims about wind power generation costs falling are immediately undone when rent seekers (once again) pass round the begging bowl and badger governments for more soft loans, renewable energy … Continue reading Hide & Seek: Exposing The (Colossal) Hidden Cost of Wind Power Subsidies
Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Wind and solar have justly earned the tag ‘unreliables’: sunset and calm weather are inevitable, whereas the so-called ‘inevitable renewable energy transition’, is anything but. The Germans call it ‘dunkelflaute’ - meaning a period of gloomy, windless weather and a total collapse in output from their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar … Continue reading Permanent No-hopers: Batteries No Solution For Wind & Solar’s Inherent Intermittency
Some Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Britain’s Coal-Fired Plants Only Thing Preventing Total Blackouts
Depend on the weather for your power needs, then get ready for plenty of routine disappointment. Time and time again, Britain’s coal-fired power plants are called in to prevent total blackouts during calm and cloudy weather, of the kind that causes total collapses in wind and solar output. Notwithstanding efforts to drive them out of … Continue reading Some Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Britain’s Coal-Fired Plants Only Thing Preventing Total Blackouts
Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
After 30 years and plenty of talk about being ‘competitive’ with coal, gas and nuclear, wind and solar are still being treated like untamable toddlers. The subsidies they begged for in the beginning were meant to help so-called ‘infant’ industries get on their feet. But, even now, the mere mention of reducing subsidies turns them … Continue reading Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers
Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies
Never stand between rent seekers and a fat pile of taxpayers’ money. The wind and solar industries were built on lies and myth, but they can only survive when there's a steady stream of massive and endless subsidies. Cut the subsidies and rent seekers disappear in a heartbeat. BP was once the head of the … Continue reading Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies
‘Green’ Devolution: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Dark & Dismal Future
These days it takes some time and effort to explain to millennials what it was to have power on tap, whatever the weather, at prices everyone could afford. However, if the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ continues unchecked, a generation from now, talk about having electricity as and when we need it - and being … Continue reading ‘Green’ Devolution: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Dark & Dismal Future
Britain’s Wind Industry Set to Receive Even More Taxpayer’s Money For Producing Nothing At All
So-called wind power ‘constraint payments’ are more like a kidnapper’s ransom, than a genuine commercial transaction. There aren’t many exchanges that involve a producer claiming a fee for producing absolutely nothing, at all. But when your product is only available in random, chaotic spurts (or not at all), apparently the rules change. Up to December … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Industry Set to Receive Even More Taxpayer’s Money For Producing Nothing At All
The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up
https://youtu.be/D_wkyZoIQ-o Listen to an ideologue, and you’d think the transition to an all wind and sun powered future is simply inevitable. Listen to an engineer, and you’ll soon understand that it is simply impossible. Reliable, dependable and affordable power supplies were the product of logic and reason - the discipline of methodical and ordered … Continue reading The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up
Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis
Calm weather and sunset will do it every time, smashing wind and solar output and claims that we’re already headed for an all wind and sun powered future. Believe the narrative run by the MSM on behalf of the wind and solar rent seekers and their political enablers, you’d think we’ve already reached our ‘green’ … Continue reading Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis
