The character who frets about human generated carbon dioxide gas and who isn’t talking about a nuclear-powered future, will never be taken seriously. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation system that does not emit carbon dioxide gas in the process. And, whereas wind and solar are hopelessly unreliable and chaotically intermittent, nuclear power … Continue reading Worried About Carbon Dioxide Gas? Then Start Promoting Nuclear Power, Right Now!

Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar
It’s not just wind and solar power’s pathetic performance that makes the whole virtue signalling exercise so utterly pointless. It’s also the fact that, to generate anything other than a trivial amount of electricity, you need the best part of a continent’s land area to do it. To accommodate 2,000 MW of coal, gas or … Continue reading Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar
Renewables Risk Watch: CCP Using Wind Farm Control Systems to Hack US Power Grid & More
With thousands of wind turbines spread far and wide, their control systems offer the perfect backdoor to hackers determined to disrupt and destroy power grids, and much more. The vulnerability of on-board networked control systems for wind turbines - known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) - is glaringly obvious to those with an … Continue reading Renewables Risk Watch: CCP Using Wind Farm Control Systems to Hack US Power Grid & More
Renewable Energy Retreat: Texas Targets Unreliable Wind & Solar With Punitive Fees & Charges
After America’s big freeze, Texan legislators are determined to restore reliable power generation sources, by hitting unreliable wind and solar with a raft of punitive fees and charges. Whereas wind and solar have enjoyed massive subsidies (in the US, principally the Production Tax Credit, as well as state-mandated feed in tariffs), the reliable generators (nuclear, … Continue reading Renewable Energy Retreat: Texas Targets Unreliable Wind & Solar With Punitive Fees & Charges
Green New Deal = Pointless Posturing: Joe Biden’s Trillion Dollar Wind & Solar Boondoggle
The only obvious point to Biden’s ‘Green’ New Deal is lining the pockets of crony capitalists and keeping lobbying rent seekers happy. Hundreds of $billions more are set to be squandered on utterly pointless wind and solar. A point which ought to be pretty obvious to Americans, after millions experienced the mass blackouts suffered across … Continue reading Green New Deal = Pointless Posturing: Joe Biden’s Trillion Dollar Wind & Solar Boondoggle
Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
Perplexed as to why your power bill just doubled? Then you’ll be pleased to know the answer is simple: massively subsidised wind and solar. Statisticians get excited when they can prove causation instead of mere correlation, which often depends upon the number of observations of a particular event of interest. With dozens of countries and … Continue reading Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
Wind power’s proven inability to deliver the goods when it counts has been on show in the last few months. Much to the horror of the wind cult, renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers. Total wind power output collapses in Germany and across America’s midwest, have drawn focus on just how useless … Continue reading Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
Renewables Driven Demand for Rare Earths Leaves America Vulnerable to CCP Extortion
Every wind turbine, every all EV and every solar panel critically depends upon a myriad of so-called ‘rare earths’. The minerals in question have become ‘rare’, of late, as a consequence of the Western world’s insatiable appetite for ‘feelgood’ electricity generated by sunshine and breezes, occasionally stored in giant lithium batteries, as well as the … Continue reading Renewables Driven Demand for Rare Earths Leaves America Vulnerable to CCP Extortion
No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof
Rocketing power prices and grid instability are two inescapable consequences of subsidised wind and solar. While sunshine and breezes might be free, attempting to run your power system using nature’s gifts, brings with it a raft of other costs which RE zealots tend to gloss over. The electricity generation and distribution system – which wind … Continue reading No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof
Alarm Call: Texan/Californian/South Australian Blackouts Herald End For Unreliable Wind & Solar
By no stretch of the imagination can entirely weather/sunshine-dependent power sources be described as “meaningful” or “serious”. The tale about the naked Emperor beguiled by his acolytes into believing his ‘attire’ was perfectly suited to every occasion, springs to mind. The gag was, of course, that the Emperor never had any clothes. Likewise, chaotically … Continue reading Alarm Call: Texan/Californian/South Australian Blackouts Herald End For Unreliable Wind & Solar
