‘Green Energy’ Dream Collides With Harsh Reality: Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work

When so-called ‘sustainable’ investment funds pull the plug on wind and solar, you know the party’s over. As 2023 closes out, ‘green’ energy investors are facing a brutal and harsh reality: wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. Worse still, governments backing the grand wind and solar transition are having a hard … Continue reading ‘Green Energy’ Dream Collides With Harsh Reality: Wind & Solar Just Don’t Work

Uncontrolled Frequency: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Stable Power Grids

Designed by engineers, our electricity grids are remarkable, but finely balanced affairs, being wrecked by the chaotic delivery of wind and solar power. There are 3 electricity essentials – that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Wind and solar score NIL on all … Continue reading Uncontrolled Frequency: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Stable Power Grids

Frozen Supply: Unreliable Wind & Solar Means US Faces More Winter Blackouts

Northern hemisphere winters are particularly brutal on wind turbines and solar panels, the former frozen solid and the latter blanketed in snow and ice. The result being no power from either. Peak winter conditions are perfect for revealing the peak stupidity of attempting to power first world economies with generation systems that deliver nothing but … Continue reading Frozen Supply: Unreliable Wind & Solar Means US Faces More Winter Blackouts

Why Adding More Wind & Solar Always Means Higher Power Prices For Everyone

Finding the numbers that establish the true and insane cost of subsidised wind and solar is like a game of hide and seek. Buried in a sea of complexity and industry mumbo-jumbo, the way power prices are set is part myth and part mystery. Myth and mystery that allows wind and solar rent-seekers to only … Continue reading Why Adding More Wind & Solar Always Means Higher Power Prices For Everyone

Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle

The results of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes can’t be hidden forever. As wind and solar generating capacity increases, the inevitable consequences are soon revealed: namely, routine power rationing, mass blackouts and crippling power prices. And yet the acolytes continue to maintain that we’re only a few mythical mega-batteries away from an all-wind … Continue reading Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle

Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful

2023 will go down as the year that the wind industry began its inevitable implosion. Unable to deliver power as and when power consumers need it (therefore generating electricity with no commercial value), the wind industry was only ever the product of mandates, tax breaks and massive subsidies. Call it a Ponzi scheme, call it … Continue reading Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful

Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry

As the offshore wind industry implodes in the US, UK and Northern Europe it’s worth noting the class of villains responsible. Pitching the most insanely expensive method of occasionally generating electricity on a random and entirely chaotic basis took audacity; taking investors for a ride with them took a special kind of malice; and pretending … Continue reading Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry

Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout

Holding hands and waving placards just doesn’t cut it. If you want to protect the environment or your community from the industrial wind power onslaught, then litigate. In this post, we contrast a community off the coast of New South Wales, Australia where a rally of surfers gathered to stave off the threat of an … Continue reading Litigation Only Way to Protect Communities & Environments From Wind Turbine Rollout

America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped

In the US the offshore wind industry is completely underwater, in every sense. The insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments has finally caught up. Projects are being scrapped in the same way that punters rip up their betting slips when their long-shot nag fails to … Continue reading America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped

Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse

That ‘industries’ built on lies, myths and subsidies are in freefall is hardly surprising. Nothing about intermittent wind and solar have never made any sense. Now the markets are starting to cotton on. Governments are refusing to bail out wind power outfits - rejecting their ever-increasing demands for ever-increasing subsidies. The knock-on effect on the … Continue reading Grand Green Dream Goes Up In Smoke: Wind & Solar Industries Face Total Collapse
