The trope has it that soon we’ll all be auto-piloted by EVs charged by electrons lovingly caressed from sunshine and breezes. Although, if that vision is ever realised, expect to hear more about collisions between stray unicorns and EVs, which is just as likely as an RE-powered all-EV future. Meanwhile, back on Earth, grid managers … Continue reading All-Electric Future Fizzles: EV Chargers First Target For RE Power Rationing
Under My Wheels: Why Solar ‘Roadways’ Turned Out to Be An Epic Engineering Fail
Whatever happened to solar roadways? A few years back, embedding PV cells into road surfaces was going to be the next big thing. And then, all of a sudden, it wasn’t. True it is, that the wind and solar cult attracts all sorts of cranks and crackpots, promoting all sorts of harebrained schemes and subsidy-backed … Continue reading Under My Wheels: Why Solar ‘Roadways’ Turned Out to Be An Epic Engineering Fail
Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Wind power is, by definition, a wholly weather-dependent power source. So, it should come as no surprise that - whenever a burst of calm-weather hits - those charged with responsibility for delivering power, as and when we need it, scramble to obtain it from any convenient and, more importantly, reliable source. Which is why Germany … Continue reading Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Ontario’s government determined to eliminate coal-fired power in the deluded belief that wind power would soon replace it. The result, as the protesters above predicted, has been an unmitigated economic disaster. Power prices in the Province have spiralled out of control, as a direct result of its suicidal energy policy. Thousands of jobs have been … Continue reading Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Wind Industry Jobs Myth Turning Britain Into Venezuelan Economic Basket Case
The ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future comes with a promise of an endless sea of ‘groovy’ sustainable jobs in the manufacture of solar panels and wind turbines and much more, besides. However, across the globe, the great ‘green’ jobs ‘bonanza’ is being revealed for the hoax that it truly is. … Continue reading Wind Industry Jobs Myth Turning Britain Into Venezuelan Economic Basket Case
Court Out: Judge Finds Gas-Fired Power Better For Environment Than Wind & Solar
All care and no responsibility, the wind and solar advocate is quick to ignore every environmental downside that comes with wind turbines and solar panels. However, the Minnesota Court of Appeals wasn’t ready to accept the argument that wind and solar are as gentle on the environment as the sunshine and breezes that occasionally power … Continue reading Court Out: Judge Finds Gas-Fired Power Better For Environment Than Wind & Solar
Scotland’s ‘Green’ Jobs Revolution Implodes: Wind Turbine Manufacturer Sacks Hundreds
A job that depends on subsidies, isn’t really a job, at all, it’s a make-work scheme cooked up by closet socialists. And, so it is, with the so-called “green jobs” that self-evidently exist, and only exist, while the renewable energy subsidies keep flowing. There is no natural market for intermittent wind or solar power, because … Continue reading Scotland’s ‘Green’ Jobs Revolution Implodes: Wind Turbine Manufacturer Sacks Hundreds
Wind Farm Noise Nuisance Case Uncovers Wind Industry’s Culture of Lies & Deceit
The wind industry’s entrenched culture of lying and deceit is well-known around the globe. Uncovering precisely what these characters get up to is more of a challenge. A noise nuisance case being pursued by farmers in the Victorian Supreme Court against the operator of the Bald Hills wind farm (see our post here) is revealing … Continue reading Wind Farm Noise Nuisance Case Uncovers Wind Industry’s Culture of Lies & Deceit
Coal Saves Germany (Again): Weather Conspires to Cut Annual Wind Power Production by 25%
Germany’s inevitable transition to wind and solar, ain’t so inevitable, after all. Coal-fired power plants have been urgently press-ganged back into action, as the weather conspires to drive wind power output through the floor. Inherently unreliable, wind power has never powered any serious economy; and never will. The problem with relying upon the weather for … Continue reading Coal Saves Germany (Again): Weather Conspires to Cut Annual Wind Power Production by 25%
World’s Biggest Renewable Energy Battery Becomes World’s Biggest Joke
The French owners of the world’s biggest battery are being sued for simply failing to deliver the goods. When Elon Musk’s 150MW battery was hooked up to the South Australian grid, the wind and solar cult rejoiced. The meme had it that - with a few thousand more just like it, we’d soon all … Continue reading World’s Biggest Renewable Energy Battery Becomes World’s Biggest Joke
