Sitting freezing or boiling in the dark provides a moment to consider where one’s electricity comes from. Californians, South Australian and now Texans have all enjoyed the experience, one way or another. The common thread, of course, is an obsession with sunshine-dependent solar and/or weather-dependent wind power. The belief that we’re just a heartbeat (and … Continue reading Biden’s Blackout Nation: ‘Green’ New Deal Promises More Time Freezing or Boiling in the Dark

Renewables Roulette: How Wind & Solar Generators Game the Power Market at Your Expense
Enron is synonymous with fake financials and wholesale fraud, but its gaming of the Californian power market set the tone for every crony capitalist wind and solar generator, who’s raped and pillaged, ever since. The story was laid out in the documentary The Smartest Guys In The Room. https://stopthesethings.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/enron-extract.mp4 Back then, Enron’s traders would … Continue reading Renewables Roulette: How Wind & Solar Generators Game the Power Market at Your Expense
Renewables Rethink: Americans Ready to Reject Wind & Solar After Big Freeze Blackouts
All of a sudden, everyone’s talking about wind and solar, and the chatter ain’t positive. Solar panels carpeted in inches of snow and ice; wind turbines frozen solid; and breathless, frigid weather led to total collapses in wind and solar output across central USA. Millions of notionally wind and solar ‘powered’ Texans copped the worst … Continue reading Renewables Rethink: Americans Ready to Reject Wind & Solar After Big Freeze Blackouts
Death Defying: Big Freeze Reveals Insanity of Relying on Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters - getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter. Freezing Germans, desperate for coal-fired power, are probably having a good, hard think about their obsession with ‘green’ energy. Freezing Americans have already had a taste of their wind and … Continue reading Death Defying: Big Freeze Reveals Insanity of Relying on Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
TOTALLY GUILTY!!: Total Wind & Solar Power Collapses Responsible For Texan Blackouts
After America’s big freeze and the blackouts that followed, wind and solar acolytes are struggling to explain away the hard numbers, yet again. On 16-17 February - with hundreds of wind turbines frozen solid during breathless, freezing weather - Texan wind power output was a paltry 2% of installed capacity (see above and below). Solar … Continue reading TOTALLY GUILTY!!: Total Wind & Solar Power Collapses Responsible For Texan Blackouts
Net-Zero Hero: Climate Bureaucrat Busted For Revealing State’s ‘Kill the Poor’ Energy Policy
Not content with depriving the poor of electricity, the climate-industrial complex is determined to “break their will” to heat their hovels and drive their beat up Chevies. Apparently, the punishment meted out by renewables driven power price hikes wasn’t enough to break their selfish mettle. Massachusetts Governor, Charlie Baker is a card-carrying member of the … Continue reading Net-Zero Hero: Climate Bureaucrat Busted For Revealing State’s ‘Kill the Poor’ Energy Policy
Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
So-called ‘progressives’ are long on moral posturing, but short on human compassion. Enamoured with costly wind and solar, and determined to outlaw every last reliable power source, they couldn’t care less about the inevitable spike in power prices that follows, that disproportionately punishes the least fortunate souls among us. Letting granny freeze in the dark … Continue reading Monstrous Morality: ‘Progressives’ Love Costly & Unreliable Wind & Solar But Detest The Poor
America’s Big Chill: Wind Turbines Frozen Solid & Solar Panels Plastered In Snow & Ice
America’s big freeze has wind and solar worshippers scrambling for excuses and shifting blame like snow from their driveways. Following on from Germany’s recent near-death experience, Americans are now realizing - with terrifying clarity - just how crazy brave relying on wholly weather-dependent power sources really is. Particularly when bitter Arctic weather blankets a continent … Continue reading America’s Big Chill: Wind Turbines Frozen Solid & Solar Panels Plastered In Snow & Ice
Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
Americans who gleefully voted to oust Donald Trump, are about to reap the whirlwind. Biden and his Squad of green-left lunatics are going to visit upon all Americans precisely the same renewable energy chaos that Californians have suffered, for years. Routine power rationing and mass blackouts, as well as being hit with the highest power … Continue reading Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
Home Truths: Heavy Reliance on Wind & Solar Turn California Into ‘The Blackout State’
The sweeping blackouts that struck California last summer are a fair indication of what happens when sound engineering gets trumped by woolly-headed ideology. An obsession with intermittent wind and solar left millions of Californians sweltering in the dark, and wind and solar spin doctors working overtime to shift the blame. The state-wide blackout that struck … Continue reading Home Truths: Heavy Reliance on Wind & Solar Turn California Into ‘The Blackout State’
