When Mother Nature is working the controls, anything can happen; and, with wind and solar power generation, it usually does. Massive surges and collapses in wind and solar power output - think storm fronts followed by dead calm weather and/or that daily event referred to as ‘sunset’ - are something that the system we once … Continue reading RE Enthusiasm Curbed: Grid Manager Shutting Off Wind & Solar To Prevent Mass Blackouts

Democrats Would Take California’s Blackout Chaos Nationwide With New ‘Green’ Deal
An obsession with intermittent wind and solar is delivering rolling Summer blackouts to Californians, once again. That same obsession - in the form of the Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal - promises to deliver much more of the same across the USA, should Sleepy Joe Biden, AOC and her Squad get the keys to the White … Continue reading Democrats Would Take California’s Blackout Chaos Nationwide With New ‘Green’ Deal
Renewable Energy Reckoning: Wind & Solar Power Obsession Leaves Millions of Californians Sweltering In The Dark
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
Pure Unbridled Chaos: Why Unreliable and Intermittent Wind & Solar Destabilise Power Grids
The more intermittent wind and solar get added to the grid, the greater the risk that their chaotic delivery of power will wreck it. By which we mean the delivery of an entire ‘system black’ - of the kind that Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia became world-renowned for. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid … Continue reading Pure Unbridled Chaos: Why Unreliable and Intermittent Wind & Solar Destabilise Power Grids
It’s No Joke: Australia’s Electricity Supply Now Depends On Wind & Cloud Forecasts
If you’re looking for the reason why wind power has never worked and never will? Here it is: THE WEATHER. If you’re looking to wreck a grid and send power prices into orbit, then pin your power hopes to mother nature’s whims. South Australia did; it suffers the world’s highest retail power prices and became … Continue reading It’s No Joke: Australia’s Electricity Supply Now Depends On Wind & Cloud Forecasts
Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
Australia’s self-inflicted wind and solar calamity has just got serious; very serious. Managing electricity grids is a finely balanced affair, requiring the ability to control what goes in and what goes out on a second-by-second basis. The generation and distribution of electricity was relatively simple when synchronous, dispatchable conventional generation sources (in Australia, coal, gas … Continue reading Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
Ever-Dependable: Coal-Fired Power Keeps On Keeping On During Australia’s Bushfire Battle
Of the more delusional claims made by wind power proponents, the notion that wind power is more dependable and reliable than coal-fired power, takes the cake. Back in December, Victoria’s Premier, Daniel Andrews revealed his tenuous grip on reality when he made the very same assertion: Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar … Continue reading Ever-Dependable: Coal-Fired Power Keeps On Keeping On During Australia’s Bushfire Battle
Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
If unreliable, weather-dependent wind power isn’t a recipe for disaster, it’s most certainly a recipe for chaos. Electricity grids are complex critters, designed around strict tolerances to allow what’s dispatched to them by generators (supply) to perfectly match what’s taken out of them by customers (demand aka ‘the load’). For an explanation of what a … Continue reading Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
Victorians can thank their dangerous and delusional Labor government for their power pricing and supply calamity. Last summer saw mass blackouts and load shedding, following sudden, routine and total collapses in wind and solar output (calm weather and sunset does it every time). Back then its Premier, Daniel Andrews and Energy Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio … Continue reading Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
