Cynics might suggest that there’s a pretty strong correlation between wishful thinking and endless subsidies to wind and solar. But, apart from rent seeking crony capitalists, there’s still a fair proportion out there who … Continue reading Pipe Dreams: Quest for All Wind & Solar Powered World Like Searching For Unobtanium
Burn Baby, Burn: Biomass Power Plants Devouring World’s Forests at Astonishing Rate
Misty eyed support for the wholesale slashing and burning of forests in power plants under the guise of ‘green’ energy shows how gullible we’ve become.

Californian Blackout Fury: “It’s Not Just the Heat, It’s Also the Anti-Nuclear Power Stupidity”
California’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle has attracted global attention. Policymakers have led with their chins by promoting chaotically intermittent wind and solar, all the while trashing ever-reliable nuclear power - with perfectly predictable results.

Wind and solar obsessed policymakers have been begging the Feds to throw California a lifeline. The Department of Energy has responded to the Californian government’s desperate pleas by declaring … Continue reading Dark Days & Darker Nights: California’s Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Thousands Without Power
How Green Is This?: Millions of Toxic Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfill
The millions of solar panels being dumped in landfills are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. Then there’s the landfill legacy being created by wind turbine blades, with the First World cynically using the Third World as its dumping ground: ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic … Continue reading How Green Is This?: Millions of Toxic Solar Panels & Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfill

Rank Hypocrisy: Climate Warriors Not Promoting Nuclear Power Simply Can’t Be Serious
In a post Covid world, anyone railing about carbon dioxide gas and not promoting nuclear power sounds positively unhinged. If CO2 really was about to destroy the planet, Extinction Rebellion, Greta and her worshippers would be talking about switching to nuclear power like their lives depended on it. Instead, for reasons that escape the logical … Continue reading Rank Hypocrisy: Climate Warriors Not Promoting Nuclear Power Simply Can’t Be Serious
