Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Power Prices With Much Worse to Come

Think your power bill is crushing now; the worst is yet to come. The grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is - according to the 5 year planners - in its infancy, but already the effects of heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar are being spelt out in record retail power bills. To reach … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Crushing Power Prices With Much Worse to Come

No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear

Rent-seekers keep telling us that wind and solar power are the cheapest of all. Our crushing and ever-increasing power bills wherever wind and solar signify, suggests otherwise. Their propagandists employ a bag of tricks in an effort to support the narrative. The game includes ignoring the capital cost of having every single (unreliable) megawatt of … Continue reading No Competition: Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar Can’t Beat Coal, Gas & Nuclear

Freezing In The Dark? Just Ask Wind & Solar Generators to ‘Turn It Up’

The inherent absurdity in our headline is precisely the point. No one in touch with reality expects wind power during calm weather or solar power when the sun sets. No one believes that wind and solar generators can simply ‘turn it up’ on a calm night. Oh no, that responsibility is always left to conventional … Continue reading Freezing In The Dark? Just Ask Wind & Solar Generators to ‘Turn It Up’

Trump’s New Nuclear Policy About Making Energy Reliable & Affordable Again

That prosperous economies depend upon reliable and affordable energy, is no secret. Indeed, the destruction of the West is predicated on the destruction of our energy supplies, dressed up in cynical claims about ‘climate action saving the planet’. The United States didn’t become the world’s leading superpower by using sunshine and breezes. It led the … Continue reading Trump’s New Nuclear Policy About Making Energy Reliable & Affordable Again

No Joy In New Jersey: Power Bills Double (Again) In Wind Power Obsessed State

The good folk in New Jersey are just the latest victims of the grand renewable energy ‘transition’. Politicos have backed foreign-owned offshore wind power outfits ahead of local reliable generators and the results are spelt out in black-and-white, with record retail power bills. Retail power prices have doubled in a heartbeat and the socialists in … Continue reading No Joy In New Jersey: Power Bills Double (Again) In Wind Power Obsessed State

Furious Fishermen Stage Revolt Against Offshore Wind Industry

The offshore wind industry is facing the fury of fishermen determined to protect their fisheries, their livelihoods and the environment they live and work in. Along America’s Atlantic coast, fishermen of all shapes and sizes have turned on the offshore wind industry with an industrial scale fury. Right alongside them are those with a passionate … Continue reading Furious Fishermen Stage Revolt Against Offshore Wind Industry

Acoustic Rape: Why Wind Turbine Construction Noise Kills Whales

The relationship between offshore wind turbine construction noise and marine mammal fatalities is now incontrovertible: Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise The underwater cacophony created during offshore construction is laid out in Michael Shellenberger’s documentary Thrown To The Wind (see the video below) and this post: US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind … Continue reading Acoustic Rape: Why Wind Turbine Construction Noise Kills Whales

Generation IV: New Reactor Design Makes Ever-Reliable Nuclear Safer Than Ever

Generating power reliably around-the-clock, nuclear power has always made sense - ask the French, for starters. When compared against the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar, and their need for massive and endless subsidies, nuclear power generation wins hands down. If anything, the disaster unfolding in places where increasing wind and solar capacity has wrecked … Continue reading Generation IV: New Reactor Design Makes Ever-Reliable Nuclear Safer Than Ever

Wasted & Worthless: Mountains of Wind & Solar Power Dumped For Want of Buyers

In a theatre of the absurd, wind and solar generators get paid (with your taxes) to generate nothing at all (except subsidised profits for their shareholders). Producing no power when consumers really need it, and mountains of power when consumers don’t, is the very definition of chaos. And all that wanton waste comes with a … Continue reading Wasted & Worthless: Mountains of Wind & Solar Power Dumped For Want of Buyers

Net Zero Suicide Watch: Suicidal Energy Policies Deliver Economic Disaster

Britain’s power consumers are paying a heavy price for its maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to keep up its nuclear plants now looks positively suicidal. The cost of generating occasional electricity offshore is positively insane, and getting worse. And that’s just to focus on the economics. … Continue reading Net Zero Suicide Watch: Suicidal Energy Policies Deliver Economic Disaster
