China’s quest for global domination isn’t being fuelled by sunshine and breezes; it’s coal that’s driving the Middle Kingdom’s Imperial and economic onslaught. This is a country that is deadly serious about its economic development and deadly serious about its imperial designs. Which means there’s no place at all for power that can’t be delivered … Continue reading Full Throttle: No End In Sight for China’s Mammoth Coal-Fired Power Rush
Power Pact: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Get the Gold; The Poor Get the Stick
Government mandated subsidies for wind and solar represent the greatest wealth transfer since England’s ‘Bad’ King John sought to tax himself to ultimate power and his enemies out of existence. His description as “avaricious, miserly, extortionate and moneyminded” applies with equal force to today’s crony capitalist kings - the renewable energy rent seekers. Had King … Continue reading Power Pact: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Get the Gold; The Poor Get the Stick
Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
Americans who gleefully voted to oust Donald Trump, are about to reap the whirlwind. Biden and his Squad of green-left lunatics are going to visit upon all Americans precisely the same renewable energy chaos that Californians have suffered, for years. Routine power rationing and mass blackouts, as well as being hit with the highest power … Continue reading Biden’s New Green Deal: Delivering California’s Blackout Culture to a Town Near You
Net Loser: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Destroy More Jobs Than They Ever Create
Calling wind and solar ‘industries’ is sloppy; any operation that can’t survive without massive and perpetual subsidies isn’t really an ‘industry’, at all. Industry connotes effort, output and production. Whereas the wind and solar scam involves destruction on all fronts: environmental, social and economic. The myth about so-called ‘green’ energy jobs, is just that. South … Continue reading Net Loser: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Destroy More Jobs Than They Ever Create
Power Battle: Common Sense Abandoned With Push For More Intermittent Wind & Solar
Our good friends’ logic and reason were sacrificed long ago by the High Priests of the wind and solar cult. Attempt to point out the inevitable effect of sunset on solar output and/or calm weather on wind power output and you’ll be branded ‘heretic’, before you know it. You’ll be sent off to an education … Continue reading Power Battle: Common Sense Abandoned With Push For More Intermittent Wind & Solar
Perfect Storm: Renewables Obsession Leaves Europeans Vulnerable During Bitter Winter
Wind and solar are meant to be the solution to our looming weather woes. The truth is that the weather-dependent ‘unreliables’ have increased our mortal vulnerability to mother nature’s vagaries. Europe is in the grip of a bitter winter and, with routine and total collapses in both wind and solar output, its electricity grid is … Continue reading Perfect Storm: Renewables Obsession Leaves Europeans Vulnerable During Bitter Winter
Banquet of Consequences: Time to Force Wind & Solar Worshippers to Rely Exclusively on Sunshine & Breezes
Anyone railing against nuclear, coal or gas-fired power hasn’t been forced to rely exclusively on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar. The anti-fossil fuel crowd are, of course, hypocritical and the anti-CO2/anti-nuclear mob are the most hypocritical of all. For those claiming they’re quite happy to do without coal and gas, wait till one of their … Continue reading Banquet of Consequences: Time to Force Wind & Solar Worshippers to Rely Exclusively on Sunshine & Breezes
Frequency Freak-out: Chaotic Wind & Solar Threaten to Cripple Europe’s Power Grid
Electricity grids are like a living organism and their day-to-day survival is a finely tuned operation. Balancing supply to match demand on an instantaneous basis, is part of the trick. However, the maintenance of the required frequency (50Hz in most cases) within a narrow and defined tolerance has become a nightmare of continental proportions, thanks … Continue reading Frequency Freak-out: Chaotic Wind & Solar Threaten to Cripple Europe’s Power Grid
It’s Subsidised Wind & Solar or Meaningful Well-Paid Jobs: But You Can’t Have Both
Australian power prices went through the roof as a result of its obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar (see above). The relationship is so stark, why even a blind man, open to reality, will readily see it. However, no amount of evidence appears to register with those who pretend to govern … Continue reading It’s Subsidised Wind & Solar or Meaningful Well-Paid Jobs: But You Can’t Have Both
Coal Comfort: Total Collapse in Wind & Solar Output Leaves Freezing Germans Desperate for Coal-Fired Power
Germany’s held up as the world’s wind and solar capital. But, at the moment, the ‘green’ stuff can’t be purchased, at any price. Its millions of solar panels are blanketed in snow and ice and breathless, freezing weather is encouraging its 30,000 wind turbines to do absolutely nothing, at all. [Note to Ed: don’t forget … Continue reading Coal Comfort: Total Collapse in Wind & Solar Output Leaves Freezing Germans Desperate for Coal-Fired Power
