2023 was the year when the offshore wind industry’s grand implosion began. Major investors bailed out as the insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments began to bite. Dozens of projects have been scrapped and others are now highly doubtful. And for those wind power outfits … Continue reading Shipwrecked: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Being Crushed By Rising Construction Costs

Killer App: Nuclear Moves Destroy Business Case For Subsidised Wind & Solar
The business case for wind and solar rests entirely on subsidies, which rest entirely on political sentiment. With punishing power bills causing increasing anger amongst the proles’, it’s getting harder for politicos to justify their delusional renewable energy/net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets. That shift in the political mood feeds directly into the dreaded ‘sovereign … Continue reading Killer App: Nuclear Moves Destroy Business Case For Subsidised Wind & Solar
Rising Power Costs Driven By Democrat’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession
Consumers inevitably pay more for power when wind and solar obsessed Democrats are in charge of energy policy. Every country that’s dialled up wind and solar is suffering from rocketing power prices. Across the USA the data is in, proving just that point - on a state-by-state basis. The lucky residents of Republican Red States … Continue reading Rising Power Costs Driven By Democrat’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession
Nuclear Necessity: Europeans Driving Nuclear Power’s Inevitable Renaissance
When Vlad Putin put the squeeze on Europe’s gas supplies, Europeans embraced nuclear power out of urgent necessity. The grand wind and solar ‘transition’ were revealed as nothing but the greatest economic and environmental fraud, of all time. Incapable of delivering electricity as and when households and businesses need it, wind and solar run a … Continue reading Nuclear Necessity: Europeans Driving Nuclear Power’s Inevitable Renaissance
They’re Not In Kansas Anymore: Mid-West Bans Industrial Wind & Solar Projects
As soon as rural folk are given free choice, they inevitably ban industrial wind and solar from their territories. Local governments, finally listening to their constituents, are acting out the universal hostility the pointless power. The weather and/or sunshine-dependent stuff - that can’t deliver power on demand - but that guarantees economic misery, environmental destruction … Continue reading They’re Not In Kansas Anymore: Mid-West Bans Industrial Wind & Solar Projects
‘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
