There might be a substitute to coal, gas and nuclear power out there somewhere. But it isn’t chaotically intermittent wind and solar, whether with or without mythical mega-batteries. Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans has done a couple of things. First, it’s sent the crony capitalists profiteering from subsidised renewable energy into a tailspin and … Continue reading Keepin’ It Real: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power

History Repeats: Taxpayers Fork Out Another $Billion on Another Giant Solar White Elephant
When Crescent Dunes, the world’s biggest solar-thermal power plant went bankrupt, US taxpayers were left to pick up the tab, with their liability running into hundreds of $millions. South Australians (victims of their government’s obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar) can count themselves lucky that they didn’t end up with a carbon copy … Continue reading History Repeats: Taxpayers Fork Out Another $Billion on Another Giant Solar White Elephant
Parasitic Power: Intermittent Wind & Solar Take More From Power Grid Than They Ever Add
Applying scarce resources so that the benefits always outweigh the costs is rational, but subsidised wind and solar will never fit that bill. Putting aside the minerals and the energy required to convert those minerals that is embodied in solar panels and wind turbines, it’s the fact that - no matter how much wind and … Continue reading Parasitic Power: Intermittent Wind & Solar Take More From Power Grid Than They Ever Add
The Big Cover Up: Wind Industry Burying Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades In Landfills
Mike Moore’s Planet of the Humans lifted the lid on the mountains of toxic filth generated by so-called ‘green’ energy, much to the horror of renewable energy rent seekers and climate cult zealots, alike. Solar panels are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium, and heavy earth material. Then … Continue reading The Big Cover Up: Wind Industry Burying Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades In Landfills
Democrats Derailed: Mike Moore’s Planet of the Humans Helps Deliver Donald Trump’s Second Term
Planet of the Humans, Michael Moore’s withering attack on the power and money behind the renewable energy scam (see above) has incensed the climate cult and those that profit from the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. For the best part of 20 years, the mainstream press has been parroting the climate cult’s … Continue reading Democrats Derailed: Mike Moore’s Planet of the Humans Helps Deliver Donald Trump’s Second Term
Renewable Energy Job Myth: Subsidised Wind and Solar Destroy Far More Jobs Than They Ever ‘Create’
The principles of economics are not hard, nor are they a mystery. Jobs require viable businesses, viable businesses require cheap and reliable electricity. Deprive businesses of cheap and reliable power and those businesses will very soon cease to exist. Those truisms, however, continue to fall on deaf ears in Australia’s so-called ‘wind power capital’, South … Continue reading Renewable Energy Job Myth: Subsidised Wind and Solar Destroy Far More Jobs Than They Ever ‘Create’
Pointless Power: Without Massive & Endless Subsidies Wind Power Makes Absolutely No Sense
Warren Buffett said: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Buffett might have continued, that subsidies are the only reason anyone invests in these things. Buffett might be an opportunistic profiteer, but at least … Continue reading Pointless Power: Without Massive & Endless Subsidies Wind Power Makes Absolutely No Sense
Power Poor: Reliable & Affordable Electricity The Critical Path To Economic Salvation
The path out of poverty is always and everywhere about reliable and affordable energy. And entrenched poverty is best explained by its absence. Want to know how important electricity is to modern life? Try living a comfortable and civilised life without it. More than a billion humans struggle through daily life without access to power … Continue reading Power Poor: Reliable & Affordable Electricity The Critical Path To Economic Salvation
(Un)-Natural Disaster: Industrial Wind Power Wiping Out What’s Left of America’s Wilderness
Producing electricity at the whims of mother nature means wind power has absolutely no commercial value, at all: strangely, power consumers want electricity as and when they need it, not just when the wind happens to be blowing. Absent massive and endless subsidies, there would be no wind industry. Period. But it gets worse; … Continue reading (Un)-Natural Disaster: Industrial Wind Power Wiping Out What’s Left of America’s Wilderness
Nuclear’s New Age: Americans Lead Race to Build Small Modular Plants
Small modular nuclear reactors have been powering submarines and ships for generations. Now, enterprising Americans are seeking to bring them onshore, in order to tap an inexhaustible and affordable supply of electricity - available 24 x 7, whatever the weather or time-of-day. With a few rare exceptions, the climate cult hates the concept of nuclear … Continue reading Nuclear’s New Age: Americans Lead Race to Build Small Modular Plants
