No one cares much about electricity, until they don’t have it. For the best part of a century, proles in the industrialised world have enjoyed electricity on the same terms as running water; ubiquitous, cheap and always available. Infrastructure interruptions during electrical storms and wild weather aside, electricity has been generated and delivered on … Continue reading Lone Star Losers: Wind Power Collapses During Texan Heatwave & Power Prices Rocket

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Let’s Not Make A 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 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Let’s Not Make A New ‘Green’ Deal
It’s a Gas: New Gas Power Plant Design Eliminates Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
Fretting about carbon dioxide gas is not just a way of life, it’s a religion, with wind turbines the proxy for crucifixes and eternal salvation. STT largely leaves the debate about whether or not CO2 is killing the planet to other specialist sites. So, if you’re looking for a stoush, why not head over to … Continue reading It’s a Gas: New Gas Power Plant Design Eliminates Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
The relationship between rocketing power prices and chaotically intermittent wind and solar is crystal clear. Let’s call it Germany, Denmark and South Australia, where wind and solar obsessions have driven power prices into orbit. While RE zealots continue to chant the mantra that wind and solar are practically free, and getting cheaper all the time, … Continue reading On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
Rigged & Rotten: How Power Market Rules Were Bent to Benefit Intermittent Wind & Solar
Electricity that is not available as and when consumers need it has no natural commercial value. An ICU patient on life support isn’t interested in whether the weather is going to keep her alive. For that reason, chaotically delivered wind and solar just don’t add up. The only thing that adds up are massive (and … Continue reading Rigged & Rotten: How Power Market Rules Were Bent to Benefit Intermittent Wind & Solar
Collision Course: Offshore Wind Turbines Present New (Unnecessary) Mortal Danger for Trawlermen
The fishermen who work off America’s Atlantic coast, are furious over plans to spear thousands of industrial wind turbines into their fishing grounds, destroying not only the seabed (the source of their income and prosperity), but wrecking their fishing grounds, forever. Trawlermen off the New Jersey coast have already told developers what they can do … Continue reading Collision Course: Offshore Wind Turbines Present New (Unnecessary) Mortal Danger for Trawlermen
Own Goal: Michael Moore Documentary Tackles Dark Side of Wind & Solar
Renewable energy zealots must hit the panic button when someone from their own team calls the wind and solar ‘industries’ rotten to the core. The hard green-left and so-called “progressives” take as an article of faith that those among them will worship wind and solar until kingdom come. So, when one of their own starts … Continue reading Own Goal: Michael Moore Documentary Tackles Dark Side of Wind & Solar
Blown Away: Actual Wind Farm Output a Chaotic Fraction of Total Capacity
The renewable energy zealot occupies a world somewhere between fantasy and delusion, ignoring the consequences of sunset and calm weather. The mainstream media headlines still scream about a surge in wind or solar capacity, what they never talk about is actual output. And there’s a good reason for that. The data above comes from Aneroid … Continue reading Blown Away: Actual Wind Farm Output a Chaotic Fraction of Total Capacity
Big Apple Blackouts: New Yorkers Can Thank Cuomo’s Wind Power Obsession
Add chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and blackouts and load shedding follow, like night follows day. Wind and solar obsessed South Australians know the drill: Déjà Vu (All Over Again): Yet Another Wind Power Output Collapse Plunges 200,000 South Australian Homes into the Dark Ages The unscheduled Earth Hour that hit the … Continue reading Big Apple Blackouts: New Yorkers Can Thank Cuomo’s Wind Power Obsession
Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Squandering other people’s money is what the wind and solar industries do best. Let’s face it, they wouldn’t exist without massive and endless subsidies. The chaotic power they occasionally produce has no commercial value and as Warren Buffett put it “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the … Continue reading Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
