Pin your energy hopes on the weather and prepare for disappointment. Sunset is a real thing; calm and/or cloudy weather is a real thing. And grid scale storage of wind and solar power is a total myth. In support of each of those propositions we give you the State of California. A place renowned over … Continue reading Renewable Energy Reckoning: Wind & Solar Power Obsession Leaves Millions of Californians Sweltering In The Dark

System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare
In a ‘don’t say we told you so moment’, wind and solar obsessed California has just suffered another run of weather induced mass blackouts. Like clockwork, wind power output collapsed just as the summer heat and demand for electricity rose - leaving a million or more Californians sweltering in the dark. Anyone wondering what an … Continue reading System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare
Shovels Ready: China’s Rare Earth Processors Can’t Wait for Democrats New ‘Green’ Deal
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?
