Gas producers love wind power because of its hopeless intermittency, which drives demand for gas and raises prices across the board. No better example has been Europe’s months-long wind drought, when wind power output was little more than pitiful and the demand for gas, accordingly, went through the roof. Craig Mackinlay explains the relationship below. … Continue reading Europe’s Insatiable Demand for Gas Driven by Total Wind Power Output Collapses
Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-4gnNz0vc That the West has become weak and silly, is best exemplified by its concerted efforts to wreck hitherto reliable and affordable energy supplies. While policy wonks will argue forever about the precise casus belli for Putin’s attack on Ukraine, it is unarguable that Europe’s insatiable demand for Russian oil and gas has allowed … Continue reading Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
China and Russia are serious world powers, which is why they are absolutely serious about nuclear power. No country ever deprived itself of reliable and affordable energy and went on to become a world player. Which is why the CCP and Vlad Putin can’t believe their luck with hitherto Western powers doing just that. True … Continue reading No Brainer: Any Serious World Power Is Absolutely Serious About Nuclear Power
Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity
You know it’s a cult when innocents are being wiped out by shells and missiles and they’re fretting that we’ll lose our focus on the weather, as a result. As Russian tanks began shelling family homes across Ukraine, missiles struck home and air raid sirens screamed over Kyiv, John Kerry worried that Vlad’s westward expansion … Continue reading Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity
Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
Like a giant boa constrictor, oil and gas-rich Vlad Putin has a chokehold on wind and solar-obsessed Europe. ‘Green’ policies designed to wipe out reliable and affordable coal and nuclear power plants - on the pretext that they would be replaced by the chaotic output from wind turbines and solar panels - have long been … Continue reading Self-Inflicted Energy Insecurity: Vlad Impales Wind & Solar Obsessed Europe
Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
Death and taxes are guaranteed, so are rocketing power prices and power rationing once intermittent wind and solar are added to the grid. Duplicating capital costs to destabilise and undermine a generating system that works, with one that only ‘works’ when the wind is blowing just right and the sun is shining in a cloudless … Continue reading Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
Woke Wonderland: Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans Staggeringly Expensive Fantasy
In the Humpty Dumpty land occupied by wind and solar advocates, the power produced by wind and sun is free and getting cheaper all the time. Solar panels and wind turbines are powering homes and businesses around-the-clock, whatever the weather. The panels and turbines last forever and cost nothing to repair or maintain. Well, that’s … Continue reading Woke Wonderland: Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Plans Staggeringly Expensive Fantasy
Subsidy Cesspit: Time To Lift The Lid On America’s Colossal Wind & Solar Scam
The first rule about the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition is ‘you do not talk about the subsidies’. The second rule about the world’s greatest economic and environmental scam is ‘you DO NOT talk about the subsidies’. Because, once people understand that, without the subsidies, the so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ would disappear in a … Continue reading Subsidy Cesspit: Time To Lift The Lid On America’s Colossal Wind & Solar Scam
Supply Squeeze: Relying on Wind & Solar? Get Ready For Daily Power Rationing
Daily power rationing is the inevitable product of the ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun powered future. When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in wind and solar power can’t be bought, at any price. So, even at first glance, the perceived logic of supplying consumers with electricity from nothing but wholly … Continue reading Supply Squeeze: Relying on Wind & Solar? Get Ready For Daily Power Rationing
Hidden Harm: How Wind Turbine Noise Permanently Damages Neighbours’ Long-Term Health
Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency noise for those forced to live with it. Anyone claiming that it’s not a miserable daily torment hasn’t lived with it, or they’re on the wind industry payroll. A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and … Continue reading Hidden Harm: How Wind Turbine Noise Permanently Damages Neighbours’ Long-Term Health
