Green Dream Delivers Daily Reality: Power Rationing, Blackouts & Rocketing Power Bills

In the fantasy land occupied by green dreamers, the wind is always blowing and the sun is always shining. Not for them the reality of sunset and calm weather. It’s their truth, and they’re sticking with it. Destabilising grids and power markets, chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar may be beloved of crony … Continue reading Green Dream Delivers Daily Reality: Power Rationing, Blackouts & Rocketing Power Bills

Power Price Punishment: Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Killing Productive Industry & Enterprise

Reliance on intermittent wind and solar guarantees rocketing power prices and chaotic supply. Price spikes and/or power rationing when the sun sets or calm weather sets in are the death knell for a range of energy-hungry businesses and industries. Manufacturing and mineral processing are usually the first to disappear, when the true costs of running … Continue reading Power Price Punishment: Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Killing Productive Industry & Enterprise

Woke Wonderland: Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans Staggeringly Expensive Fantasy

In the Humpty Dumpty land occupied by wind and solar advocates, the power produced by wind and sun is free and getting cheaper all the time. Solar panels and wind turbines are powering homes and businesses around-the-clock, whatever the weather. The panels and turbines last forever and cost nothing to repair or maintain. Well, that’s … Continue reading Woke Wonderland: Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans Staggeringly Expensive Fantasy

Subsidy Cesspit: Time To Lift The Lid On America’s Colossal Wind & Solar Scam

The first rule about the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition is ‘you do not talk about the subsidies’. The second rule about the world’s greatest economic and environmental scam is ‘you DO NOT talk about the subsidies’. Because, once people understand that, without the subsidies, the so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ would disappear in a … Continue reading Subsidy Cesspit: Time To Lift The Lid On America’s Colossal Wind & Solar Scam

Renewables Rejected: How American Communities Successfully Block Wind & Solar Projects

Americans fight - which is the only way to beat Big Wind and Big Solar when they’re threatening anyone’s backyard. Over the last few years, American communities have banded together, got organised and lawyered up. The result is an enviable string of victories by which pro-community and pro-reliable energy groups have defeated the crony capitalists … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: How American Communities Successfully Block Wind & Solar Projects

Energy Insecurity: Biden’s Policies Leave Americans Vulnerable to Unreliable Wind & Solar

With the magnitude of the renewable energy-driven disaster playing out in Europe hard to ignore, it seems incredible that American Green New Deal Democrats remain fixated on chaotically intermittent wind and solar. And yet, they show no signs of relenting on their determined path to inevitable energy insecurity; an approach that borders on National treachery. … Continue reading Energy Insecurity: Biden’s Policies Leave Americans Vulnerable to Unreliable Wind & Solar

Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies

2021 was the year when the inherent unreliability of wind and solar revealed how everything depends upon reliable and affordable power supplies. The wind and solar ‘industries’ talk a big game; and in their wilder moments even claim to be capable of replacing conventional coal, gas and nuclear generators, altogether. Europe’s months-long wind drought in … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Show Everything Depends On Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies

Why Wind & Solar Will Never Be Meaningful Power Sources (It’s A Reliability Thing)

In a word association game, you’ll never find ‘reliability’ paired up with ‘wind’ or ‘solar’. Sunset and calm weather are very real things and so is the idea that power consumers want power as and when they need it, not when the sun’s shining at its zenith in a bright blue sky or the wind … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Will Never Be Meaningful Power Sources (It’s A Reliability Thing)

Fighting Back: Americans Unite To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds

With offshore wind power outfits wrecking their fishing grounds, America’s fishermen are fighting like their lives depend upon it. With assistance from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Rhode Island’s fishing community has issued proceedings in the Federal Court seeking to knockout the permits given to Vineyard Wind which, if left in place, will inevitably wreck … Continue reading Fighting Back: Americans Unite To Stop Offshore Wind Industry Wrecking Fishing Grounds

There Is No Plan B: Why Battery Storage Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar

Carpetbaggers profiting from hopelessly intermittent wind and solar still claim that mega-batteries are the solution to their obvious lack of reliability. But it only takes a moment’s reckoning to appreciate that the grid-scale storage electricity generated by wind or solar is a perfect nonsense. It hasn’t occurred anywhere in the world; nor will it. David … Continue reading There Is No Plan B: Why Battery Storage Can’t Save Intermittent Wind & Solar
