In a world where humans are regarded as cockroaches and wilful ignorance a winning virtue, it’s little wonder that misanthropes in the West hate everything about coal, oil and gas. Except the myriad benefits that they bring. You won’t find the same attitudes being expressed in India, China and Indonesia - where hydrocarbons are dragging … Continue reading Energy Essentials: Why Modern Civilisation Critically Depends On Coal, Oil & Gas
Hacked Off: CyberCrims Attack Rooftop Solar To Bring Down Entire Grid
Widely distributed micro power generation using rooftop solar, only increases the vulnerability of power grids. Cyber criminals (aka hackers) often test that kind of vulnerability, as a kind of sporting challenge. Malicious state actors are set up to do so as a prelude to war. Knockout a power grid and your (now powerless) enemy is … Continue reading Hacked Off: CyberCrims Attack Rooftop Solar To Bring Down Entire Grid
‘Green’ Pyromania: Wind Turbine Fireballs Keep Setting the World On Fire
Another day, another firestorm caused by a self-immolating wind turbine. Once ignited, they rain down tonnes of flaming oil, and spew burning plastics and fibreglass across tinder dry grass and brush land. That ability to start bushfires (to Australians) and wildfires (to Americans), means every single wind turbine grinding away in the countryside stands as … Continue reading ‘Green’ Pyromania: Wind Turbine Fireballs Keep Setting the World On Fire
Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s fixation on subsidised wind and solar gave rise to the destruction of its once enviable nuclear power generation capacity. The so-called wind and solar transition aka the ‘Energiewende’ has been an unmitigated disaster, with perfectly avoidable and perfectly predictable power rationing and crushing power prices driving German manufacturing industries and businesses to the wall. … Continue reading Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Green Hydrogen Meltdown: Carpetbaggers Crabwalk Away From ‘Clean Fuel’ Projects
Seems like only yesterday when ‘green’ hydrogen gas was the next big thing. And then, all of a sudden, it wasn’t. The story, or should we say fairytale, went something like this. Once upon a time there were millions of solar panels and wind turbines generating electricity in such a sporadic and chaotic fashion, that … Continue reading Green Hydrogen Meltdown: Carpetbaggers Crabwalk Away From ‘Clean Fuel’ Projects
Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
The wind industry started out as absurd, and only became more so over time. The turbines became bigger, the blades longer and capacities went from piddling 1.5 MW machines to 18MW monsters - albeit so large they can barely stand up against stiff breezes, let alone a full-blown hurricane. As the blades grew, their habit … Continue reading Terminal Decline: China’s Double-Headed Wind Turbine Signals Industry’s Last Gasp
Crushed: Biggest Wind & Solar State Suffers Astronomical Power Prices
Germany and Denmark suffer Europe’s highest power prices, thanks to their subsidised wind and solar obsession. Likewise, South Australians are being belted by retail power prices that are (dollar for dollar) the highest in the world. As night follows day, any attempt to run on sunshine and breezes leads to out of this world power … Continue reading Crushed: Biggest Wind & Solar State Suffers Astronomical Power Prices
Peak Stupidity: Wind & Solar Transition Claims Beyond Comprehension
Once upon a time, those charged with delivering affordable power, as and when we needed it, were responsible, stoic and serious. These days, the energy domain has been overrun by a group of delusional zealots, who act as the spearhead for a band of cynical, billionaire rent-seekers. Politicos love them, and are always keen to … Continue reading Peak Stupidity: Wind & Solar Transition Claims Beyond Comprehension
Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing
In another you ‘couldn’t make it up’ moment, the wind industry has been busted burning tonnes of diesel to keep turbines spinning in an effort to prevent them freezing solid during cold weather. In Scotland, the ‘fossil fuel’ consumption outbreak involves burning diesel in local generators, which send power into the turbines to keep them … Continue reading Oh So Green: Wind Industry Burns Diesel to Prevent Turbines From Freezing
Totally Busted: California’s Subsidised Solar Scam Implodes
Over-generous subsidies and guaranteed over-the-market prices are the only explanation for rooftop solar. Having millions of mini (occasional) rooftop generation stations (aka domestic residences) never made any sense. Producing notionally ‘useful’ power for 5 or 6 hours a day - weather permitting - never made any sense, but nothing about the grand wind and solar … Continue reading Totally Busted: California’s Subsidised Solar Scam Implodes
