Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Green-left’s favourite flibbertigibbet. Her New Green Deal, with its promise of 100% wind and solar delivering power for all, for free and for all time, should have been dismissed as fairytale nonsense, long ago. However, there are plenty of pixie dream girls and boys happy to suck it up, like there’s … Continue reading Shovels Ready: China’s Rare Earth Processors Can’t Wait for Democrats New ‘Green’ Deal

Worse Than Worthless: Intermittent Wind & Solar Cost A Fortune, But Have No True Value
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it, has no commercial value. Sure, the wind might be ‘free’ and the Sun may never send an invoice to solar panel owners, but wind and solar power are readily the most expensive way of generating chaotically intermittent electricity, known to man. And the … Continue reading Worse Than Worthless: Intermittent Wind & Solar Cost A Fortune, But Have No True Value
Wicked Waste: Why Every New Wind Turbine Built Is Costing You Serious Money
Adding wind turbines to a power grid is like pushing on string; the effort applied rarely matches the output at the other end of the line. Australia has one the world’s largest interconnected grids, covering Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia - with wind turbines plastered far and wide across every one of … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Why Every New Wind Turbine Built Is Costing You Serious Money
Farmers Fightback: For America’s Amish, ‘Freedom of Religion’ Means Freedom From Industrial Wind Turbines
Andrew Cuomo’s plan to carpet New York State with wind turbines has just collided with its Amish farming communities, fighting back along religious lines. A more devout and God-fearing bunch, you’d be hard to find. Shunning many of the trappings of modern society, the Amish might seem backward to some. But, in the battle against … Continue reading Farmers Fightback: For America’s Amish, ‘Freedom of Religion’ Means Freedom From Industrial Wind Turbines
Burying The Truth: No Sensible Environmentalist Supports Filthy Wind & Solar
Even after 30 years and endless subsidies, no country is powering itself exclusively with the wind and solar; no country ever will. But that doesn’t stop our political betters berating us, should we ever beg the question about the purported logic of throwing endless $trillions at something that’s already proven to be an abject failure. … Continue reading Burying The Truth: No Sensible Environmentalist Supports Filthy Wind & Solar
Truly Creative Marketing: Made With 100% Renewables Claims = 100% Pure Bunkum
Any business claiming its products are made with 100% wind and/or solar power is engaged in truly ‘creative marketing’, aka old-fashioned ‘fraud’. For a start, the sun sets like clockwork and calm weather sets in, every other day. Then there’s the fact that - for every MW of wind or solar - there is a … Continue reading Truly Creative Marketing: Made With 100% Renewables Claims = 100% Pure Bunkum
Coal Rush: China, Japan & India Back Coal-Fired Future With Hundreds of New Plants
Reports of the ‘death’ of coal have been greatly exaggerated, with the economic powerhouses of Asia - China, Japan and India - building new plants hand over fist. The pattern across Asia is unmistakable; unreliable wind and solar have been snubbed in favour of coal-fired power plants, with new nuclear plants running a close second. … Continue reading Coal Rush: China, Japan & India Back Coal-Fired Future With Hundreds of New Plants
Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. The capital cost of spearing these things offshore is multiples greater than doing so and some dimwitted farmer’s back paddock. Recouping that capital cost means that offshore wind power is 25 times more expensive than coal, gas or nuclear. … Continue reading Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
Heartless: Renewable Energy Advocates Hate the Poor & Want to Keep Them That Way
Since World War II affordable power was regarded as a birthright: RE obsessed virtue signallers have destroyed that notion in a heartbeat. In California, compassion is a rare commodity among those promoting and profiting from subsidised wind and solar. Seminal Californian Punk outfit, the Dead Kennedys seem to have foreshadowed their State’s insane energy policy with … Continue reading Heartless: Renewable Energy Advocates Hate the Poor & Want to Keep Them That Way
Farmers Fightback: Rural Americans Sick & Tired of Wind Developer Lies, Trickery & Deceit
The wind industry was built on lies and runs on subsidies. The people that pay the subsidies are growing sick and tired of the lies. Which is why the wind industry has never had it so tough: subsidies are being slashed, destroying their ‘business’ model and rural communities are in full-scale revolt, sick of being … Continue reading Farmers Fightback: Rural Americans Sick & Tired of Wind Developer Lies, Trickery & Deceit
