Cheap Reliable Energy Sets the USA Apart: Gas, Coal & Nuclear Sideline Subsidised Wind & Solar
America truly is exceptional: while plenty of Western democracies are still piling into subsidised wind and solar, the USA is getting out. Prior to the election of Donald J Trump, the US was on an economy wrecking trajectory, set by renewable energy rent seekers and the eco-zealots that champion their cause: numerous American states, not … Continue reading Cheap Reliable Energy Sets the USA Apart: Gas, Coal & Nuclear Sideline Subsidised Wind & Solar
Insane $Trillion Cost Means Mega-Batteries Won’t Save Chaotically Delivered Wind & Solar
It didn't take power punters long to work out that wind power will never amount to a meaningful power generation source. Graphs like the one above - depicting the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (1,800 of them with a capacity of just under 5,000MW, spread across four states, NSW, … Continue reading Insane $Trillion Cost Means Mega-Batteries Won’t Save Chaotically Delivered Wind & Solar
RE Fails During Heatwave: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Sweltering in the Dark
Plug your energy needs into the sun and wind and expect plenty of disappointment, especially when it counts. Renewable energy zealots always talk a ‘big game’ - perpetually raving about how this wind farm or that sea of solar panels will ‘power’ hundreds of thousands of homes, for free, forever. Then the sun sets … Continue reading RE Fails During Heatwave: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Sweltering in the Dark
Wind Power’s Mega-Fail: Hot Calm Weather Forces Nuclear Power Reboot in Taiwan & Japan

Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. The fact that politicians in this Country talk about anything but … Continue reading Wind Power’s Mega-Fail: Hot Calm Weather Forces Nuclear Power Reboot in Taiwan & Japan
World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
The point, if there was one, of throwing hundreds of $billions in subsidies at wind and solar was to slash emissions of carbon dioxide gas. Taxpayers and power consumers who are on the receiving end of the bill for all this environmental piety would, after almost 20 years, be entitled to ask just how much … Continue reading World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
