Rocketing power prices and routine blackouts are the inevitable consequence of the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar ‘transition’ - California is no exception. Indeed, thanks to their deranged leaders’ obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, Californians will be lucky to have power, at all. Putting aside the question of whether all but the elite will … Continue reading Blackout Transition: Intermittent Wind & Solar Power Surge Wrecking California’s Grid

Under Siege: America’s Rural Communities Keep Defeating Big Wind & Solar Projects
The Land of the Free is most certainly the Home of the Brave, namely those communities with the temerity to stand up to the subsidy-soaked wind and solar ‘industries’ and drive them out of town. Resolute and clearly well-organised, America’s rural folk have been taking on wind and solar developers (so-called) for years now, and … Continue reading Under Siege: America’s Rural Communities Keep Defeating Big Wind & Solar Projects
Not In Anyone’s Backyard: The Truth Behind Rural America’s Great Wind & Solar Backlash
Eco-zealots, like Bill McKibben reckon rural folk just can’t wait to get 240m high wind turbines whirling in their backyard; and that if they express any resistance to such a ‘golden opportunity’, it’s all down to the nefarious activities of ‘evil’ fossil fuel overlords and right wingers spreading “misinformation” about how wonderful it is … Continue reading Not In Anyone’s Backyard: The Truth Behind Rural America’s Great Wind & Solar Backlash
No Upside: Wind Developers Pull Plug On Massive Offshore Projects Deemed ‘Uneconomic’
Some of America’s biggest planned offshore wind projects have recently been axed, with more to follow. Deemed ‘uneconomic’, potential investors and financiers are running a mile from what portend to be enormous white elephants. Where the true cost of onshore wind power is phenomenal, the cost of the offshore stuff is astronomical. Going offshore brings … Continue reading No Upside: Wind Developers Pull Plug On Massive Offshore Projects Deemed ‘Uneconomic’
Total Bunkum: Why Running On 100% Wind & Solar Is 100% Impossible
No country in the world is running on wind and solar power alone; no country ever will. Calm weather and sunset guarantee it. Every routine collapse in wind and solar power output (for the reasons above) requires the total capacity lost in consequence to come from somewhere, and that ‘somewhere’ is going to be a … Continue reading Total Bunkum: Why Running On 100% Wind & Solar Is 100% Impossible
Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Far from threatening human existence, coal and gas have, once again, literally saved thousands of American lives. A bout of what is now known as ‘extreme weather’ demonstrates how extremely stupid it is to rely upon sunshine and breezes for power. During December’s Big Freeze, millions of America’s solar panels were carpeted in snow and … Continue reading Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Guaranteed To Destroy Our Wealth & Prosperity
Depriving your economy of reliable and affordable power is the fastest way to wreck it. Which is the very thrust of the policy that has been adopted by every country currently obsessed with subsidised wind and solar. The rent-seekers behind the greatest economic and environmental scam in history, still contend that there are millions of … Continue reading Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Guaranteed To Destroy Our Wealth & Prosperity
Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
When the wind industry fiasco inevitably grinds to a halt sometime in the next decade, those that entertained it – be it gullible farmers who traded 30 pieces of silver to destroy their communities or the local governments that rubber-stamped the planning applications that permitted it – are going to be left with a monumental cleanup … Continue reading Sucker Punched: Farmers Who Sign Up For Wind Turbines On Their Land Always Live to Regret It
Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Wind power comes with a staggering price tag, taking these things out to sea sends those costs into orbit: intermittent offshore wind power is six times the cost of gas-fired power that's always available on demand. Placing giant industrial wind turbines miles offshore is costly enough, but the rising costs of attempting to maintain them … Continue reading Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
All At Sea: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Cans Projects Deemed No Longer Viable
Offshore wind power outfits are struggling to get their projects off the ground, notwithstanding the massive subsidies they’ve been able to gouge out of America’s taxpayers. The cost of offshore wind power is astronomical; more than six times the cost of gas-fired power which is, of course, available around-the-clock, regardless of the weather. The operating … Continue reading All At Sea: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Cans Projects Deemed No Longer Viable
