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
Locals’ War Against Industrial Wind Power Spreading Like Turbines On Fire
America’s rural communities hate industrial wind power with a passion and they fight. Well-organised and litigious, since 2015 America’s community defenders have knocked out over 600 industrial scale wind and solar projects, so far – see Robert Bryce’s Renewable Rejection Database. And they’re not about to let up. A wind power outfit backed by the … Continue reading Locals’ War Against Industrial Wind Power Spreading Like Turbines On Fire
Facts Beat Feelings: Media’s Grand ‘Green Energy Transition’ Narrative Unravels
The ‘green’ neo-Marxist loves a grand sweeping narrative, and none better than the myth that we’ll all soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. How one ‘feels’ about an issue always gets precedence over pesky rules, like the laws of physics and economics. Not one State or Nation has ever run itself entirely … Continue reading Facts Beat Feelings: Media’s Grand ‘Green Energy Transition’ Narrative Unravels
Colorado Catastrophe: 100% Wind & Solar Plan Guarantees Blackouts & Crippling Prices
In another case of ‘you know it’s a cult when’, Colorado’s Governor is pushing a delusional 100% wind and solar target. Ignoring the fact that there isn’t a state or country on earth that has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar; ignoring the fact that every state or country that’s tried is suffering … Continue reading Colorado Catastrophe: 100% Wind & Solar Plan Guarantees Blackouts & Crippling Prices
Orsted’s Financial Collapse Spells Armageddon For US Offshore Wind Industry
When the most heavily subsidised industry on earth can’t make it pay, you know the economics must really stink. Denmark’s Ørsted share price plummeted 25% late last year, and after slashing dividends to shareholders was forced to write $billions off the projected value of its US offshore projects, and its share price is still heading south. Exhibiting … Continue reading Orsted’s Financial Collapse Spells Armageddon For US Offshore Wind Industry
