Wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency delivered a deadly lesson during America’s big freeze last winter: hundreds died in freezing homes left without electricity thanks to hundreds of wind turbines that were frozen solid and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event; and thousands of solar panels plastered in snow … Continue reading Epic Fail: How Wind & Solar Caused America’s Big Freeze Blackouts & Killed Hundreds

Destination Destruction: Wind and Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring Planet’s Dwindling Resources
Miners love wind and solar - demand for iron ore and coal has never looked rosier, and at the heart of every Electric Vehicle, solar panel and wind turbine there’ a bevy of rare minerals which are fast becoming rarer, thanks to our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future and the … Continue reading Destination Destruction: Wind and Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring Planet’s Dwindling Resources
Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster
When a notionally first world economy can’t keep the lights on, you’ll find an overreliance on wind and solar at the heart of it. So it is in California. As in Germany, as in South Australia, Californians are victims of a maniacal obsession with wind turbines and solar panels. The consequences are as perfectly predictable, … Continue reading Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster
American Farmers First: Community Fightback Ends Wind Industry’s Onslaught in Ohio
All winners start out as fighters. So it is in Ohio, where locals have brought the wind industry’s rural onslaught to a shuddering halt. Ohio’s legislature has introduced a raft of new rules which, had they been in force a decade ago, would have saved rural Ohio from subsidy sucking rent-seekers eager to ruin the … Continue reading American Farmers First: Community Fightback Ends Wind Industry’s Onslaught in Ohio
Fossil Fuels Plug Renewables Gap: Gas Price Surges As Unreliable Wind & Solar Fail to Deliver
As wind and solar output collapsed during a bitter northern hemisphere winter, gas prices surged. Demand for natural gas - used to plug the growing gap between what wind and solar generators promise and what they deliver - has never been stronger. So much for our ‘inevitable transition’ from fossil fuels to an all wind … Continue reading Fossil Fuels Plug Renewables Gap: Gas Price Surges As Unreliable Wind & Solar Fail to Deliver
Fake ‘Green’ Energy: So Much Spent On Wind & Solar For So Little Return
Wind and solar are not just costly they are entirely useless. Never in the field of energy generation has so much been spent, by so many, for so little return. Forget the colossal and endless subsidies, forget the community division, forget the environmental destruction and landfills full of toxic blades and panels and start with … Continue reading Fake ‘Green’ Energy: So Much Spent On Wind & Solar For So Little Return
Another Summer of Discontent: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Scrambling for Reliable Power
The sweeping blackouts that struck California last summer are back with a vengeance; another heatwave, another scramble for reliable power. The power rationing debacle that is plaguing Californians once again, is precisely what you’d expect when woolly-headed thinking overtakes sound engineering. The state-wide blackout that struck in mid-August 2020, was put down by officials to … Continue reading Another Summer of Discontent: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Scrambling for Reliable Power
Not In Anyone’s Backyard: Rural Americans Winning the Battle Against Industrial Wind Power
The only way to prevent industrial wind power destroying your community is to fight, and that’s exactly what Americans are doing across its heartland. Applying pressure to local governments and authorities, rural Americans are getting them onside and against the wind industry, with hundreds of projects rejected. Robert Bryce has been following this battle for … Continue reading Not In Anyone’s Backyard: Rural Americans Winning the Battle Against Industrial Wind Power
‘Investing’ in Wind & Solar Power: Always and Everywhere – It’s About the Endless Subsidies
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ will last for as long as the subsidies keep flowing, and not one second more. Every time the subsidy reins get tightened, the rent seekers howl, claiming that they need them to run for just that little bit longer. Notwithstanding repeatedly crowing about wind and solar already being cheaper … Continue reading ‘Investing’ in Wind & Solar Power: Always and Everywhere – It’s About the Endless Subsidies
Hacked Off: Giant Texan Wind Farm Project Axed Due to CCP Spying & Grid Hacking Threat
Faced with the threat of Chinese Communist Party hackers infiltrating and wrecking its grid, Texan legislators have just scotched a giant wind farm project. CCP backed hackers messing around with an individual wind turbine is one thing, but bringing down an entire power grid is quite another. And that’s the very risk that ought to … Continue reading Hacked Off: Giant Texan Wind Farm Project Axed Due to CCP Spying & Grid Hacking Threat
