Increasing reliance on wind and solar - aka the ‘unreliables’ - means, that hundreds of businesses and hundreds of thousands of homes often miss out on power when they need it most. Attempting to run on sunshine and breezes is a lot like musical chairs: a game where someone always misses out. Think wind and … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Deliver Increased Risk of Costly & Deadly Blackouts

Simply Staggering: Power Users Bear The True Cost of Subsidised Wind and Solar
Every state or country that ramps up wind and solar capacity ends up with rocketing power prices and an unreliable grid - no exceptions. Press members of the wind and sun cult for an example of the alternative outcome and they’ll quickly deflect and change the subject, keep pressing and then you’ll get ranting about … Continue reading Simply Staggering: Power Users Bear The True Cost of Subsidised Wind and Solar
Turn Up The Base(Load): Nuclear Plants Keep Delivering Power All Day, Every Day
The history of civilisation is a story based on harnessing electricity - its future will be one based on building baseload nuclear power. Always on, whatever the weather, no need for batteries, no need for back up - clean, safe, reliable - nuclear power ticks all the boxes. An energy hungry world is chewing up … Continue reading Turn Up The Base(Load): Nuclear Plants Keep Delivering Power All Day, Every Day
US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
The only thing scalable about wind and solar is the subsidies gouged from power consumers and/or taxpayers. While rent seekers can plant turbines and scatter solar panels from horizon to horizon, they can’t make the sun shine or the wind blow. Accordingly, sunset and/or calm weather makes the whole thing utterly pointless, at any scale. … Continue reading US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
No Care & No Responsibility: Massive Subsidies Only Reason Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Exist
Sun’s up, wind’s blowing and wind and solar power is flowing. Wind drops, Sun sets and you’re on your own. The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you’re left freezing in the dark. Your power supply is somebody else’s problem. In this three-part essay, Edward A Reid Jr targets the unhealthy relationship … Continue reading No Care & No Responsibility: Massive Subsidies Only Reason Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Exist
Renewable Energy Batteries: Toxic Timebombs, Delivering Truly Trivial Output
The grand wind and solar ‘transition’ looks ridiculous enough, but claims about giant batteries fixing the grand intermittency problem look positively idiotic. The cost of storing meaningful volumes of power is staggering, accordingly the volumes actually available for release into the grid are positively trivial. Then there’s the battle that giant lithium-ion batteries have with … Continue reading Renewable Energy Batteries: Toxic Timebombs, Delivering Truly Trivial Output
Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar
In the beginning, engineers designed power transmission grids to connect a few generators to millions of power users. Nowadays, ideologues reckon they can connect thousands of generators, spread far and wide, to power users who haven't moved an inch. The cost of doing so, is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Worse still, the … Continue reading Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar
Arizona Prevents Economic Trainwreck By Scrapping Wind & Solar Subsidies & Mandates
Arizona, joins West Virginia and Montana in scrapping its mandated target for wind and solar power generation. Referred to as the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), its economic cost naturally outstrips any notional benefit (the only benefit being enjoyed is by wind and solar rent seekers). Finally, legislators are waking up to the scale and scope … Continue reading Arizona Prevents Economic Trainwreck By Scrapping Wind & Solar Subsidies & Mandates
Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
It’s like the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ suddenly lost its mojo. Wild claims and fanciful projections are giving way to a more sober reality. Demand for reliable and affordable energy, including electricity, continues to rise at rates that even the most ambitious wind and solar promoters can’t match. Soaring rhetoric is one thing, backing … Continue reading Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening
Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has been covering up whale deaths for the wind industry for years. The government-aided subterfuge has been running ever since the wind industry started building and operating industrial wind turbines along America’s Atlantic coast of the USA. Everyone expects the wind industry to lie. Its existence depends upon … Continue reading Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects
