Places like California and Australia are victims of their own idiotic domestic solar schemes, scams and subsidies. The disaster was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. But it’s still fun to watch! Sunshine-dependent solar power and wind-dependent wind power have no commercial value because the operators can never tell you when they might … Continue reading Junk Energy: Uncontrollable Domestic Solar Power Generates Total Grid Chaos
Never-Ending Story: Why Wind & Solar Wouldn’t Exist Without Massive Subsidies
The combined cost of renewable energy certificates, tax credits, soft loans and other subsidies is staggering. The total cost of which always lands with the power consumer and/or taxpayer, with the wholly unjustified benefits pocketed by crony capitalists, carpetbaggers and rent-seekers. The subsidised wind and solar scam has been running full throttle for more than … Continue reading Never-Ending Story: Why Wind & Solar Wouldn’t Exist Without Massive Subsidies
Floating Offshore Wind Turbines – Next Great Financial & Environmental Disaster
The environmental destruction caused by the offshore wind industry has completely flipped public opinion. The wanton destruction of marine habitats, fishing grounds and the wholesale slaughter of whales, dolphins and other marine mammals has drawn the same kind of attention that attracts people to multicar pileups. In this case, the characters responsible are easily identified … Continue reading Floating Offshore Wind Turbines – Next Great Financial & Environmental Disaster
Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Cornered with wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency, the cult cries “storage”, as some kind of crushing hex against the energy realists ready to tackle their delusional thinking. The ideologue never lets the facts get in the way of radical, self-destructive policies, especially when it comes to energy. The application of simple arithmetic is enough to … Continue reading Rounding Error: World’s Mega-Battery Power Contribution Measured in Minutes
Fake Electricity Rejected: Power Hungry Indians Ditch Pointless Solar Schemes
Only wealthy Westerners have the luxury of pretending to get their power from sunshine and breezes. Elsewhere, there are billions scrambling to have power delivered reliably and affordably, as if their lives and economic futures depend upon it. Which they absolutely do. For as long as cynical NGOs keep peddling ridiculously expensive solar panels – … Continue reading Fake Electricity Rejected: Power Hungry Indians Ditch Pointless Solar Schemes
Tangled Webs: How Crony Capitalists Built The Climate Industrial Complex
Crony capitalists come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their political enablers. The whole point of patronage, networking and gladhanding is obtaining benefits not available to anyone else. The only people that complain about a rort are those that aren’t in on it. The Climate Industrial Complex was built on will the back … Continue reading Tangled Webs: How Crony Capitalists Built The Climate Industrial Complex
Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
The wind and solar ‘industries’ profit from two tier environmental regulation. Where a gas or coal project gets knocked out of the park over a speckled banjo frog or a sea snake, the deliberate slaughter of rare and iconic creatures to make way for wind turbines or solar panels rarely raises an eyebrow with those … Continue reading Critters Crushed, Forests Trashed: Welcome To Your (Occasionally) Wind Powered Future
Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
Apart from the tendency of these things to self-incinerate and set the country ablaze, there’s their ability to wreck local weather patterns and, in the mother of all ironies, raise local temperatures - beyond those of the surrounding areas unaffected by these whirling wonders. Spear hundreds of 300m high wind turbines into ocean environments and … Continue reading Fahrenheit Rising: Why Wind Turbines Increase Local Average Temperatures
Greenlight For Offshore Wind Industry’s Wholesale Environmental Destruction
The damage done by offshore wind farms to fishing grounds is met with practiced contempt by wind power outfits and malign indifference by their political enablers. Taking wind turbines out to sea not only escalates the cost of the occasional power they produce, it destroys coastal landscapes, birds and other marine life. And, as Robert Bradley explains below, spearing thousands of … Continue reading Greenlight For Offshore Wind Industry’s Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits - aka ‘dunkelflaute’ - … Continue reading Germany’s Nuclear Power Rejection Delivers Wind & Solar Driven Energy Calamity
