The sweeping blackouts that struck California last summer are a fair indication of what happens when sound engineering gets trumped by woolly-headed ideology. An obsession with intermittent wind and solar left millions of Californians sweltering in the dark, and wind and solar spin doctors working overtime to shift the blame. The state-wide blackout that struck … Continue reading Home Truths: Heavy Reliance on Wind & Solar Turn California Into ‘The Blackout State’
European Emergency: Chaotic Wind & Solar Collapses Threaten Entire Europe-Wide Blackout
This winter is delivering wind and solar obsessed Europeans a banquet of consequences. Massive power price spikes in ‘wind powered’ Britain followed a period of dead calm, as the owners of Britain’s remaining dispatchable power plants cashed in: the wholesale price went from £40 to £4,000 per MWh. Across the ditch, a complete collapse in … Continue reading European Emergency: Chaotic Wind & Solar Collapses Threaten Entire Europe-Wide Blackout
Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Easily the most unhinged ‘renewable’ energy source is ‘biofuel’: a euphemism for the wholesale clearfelling and burning of forests in converted coal-fired power plants. Apparently, burning fossilised forests from the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago is a deadly sin against nature - all that carbon dioxide gas (that plants crave) must be doing someone … Continue reading Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Counting the Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar’s Toxic Legacy
Behind every smug Tesla driving show pony, there’s literally a toxic lake of sludge building up somewhere in another part of the world. Every wind turbine, every all EV and every solar panel critically depends upon a myriad of so-called ‘rare earths’. The minerals in question have become ‘rare’, of late, as a consequence of … Continue reading Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Counting the Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar’s Toxic Legacy
Fatal Attraction: Transport & Construction Workers Add to Wind Industry’s Mounting Death Toll
Claims that 300 tonne wind turbines are safe as houses fall hollow with each self-immolation, total collapse and ‘component liberation’ event. Far from being safe, clean and green, this is an industry that has already killed 200 people. By way of comparison, the French get 75-85% of their power from nuclear plants and haven’t suffered so much … Continue reading Fatal Attraction: Transport & Construction Workers Add to Wind Industry’s Mounting Death Toll
Big Battery Bunkum: Why Grid-Scale Storage of Renewable Energy Will Never Work
Banishing our good friends, logic and reason is essential to the notion of an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future. Ignorance of simple maths, the laws of physics, economics and meteorology helps, too. Which explains why the naïve and gullible are merrily swallowing the story that we’re just a few mega-batteries … Continue reading Big Battery Bunkum: Why Grid-Scale Storage of Renewable Energy Will Never Work
Biden’s Bird Slaughter: Green New Deal’s Wind Turbines Will Kill 1,000,000 Birds Annually
Biden, Harris and her Squad are itching to carpet the US in thousands of these things, with America’s birds and bats to join the list of casualties. Sure, rocketing power prices and unreliable power supplies are inevitable. So too, the destruction of once tranquil, peaceful and prosperous rural communities. But where their hateful hypocrisy is … Continue reading Biden’s Bird Slaughter: Green New Deal’s Wind Turbines Will Kill 1,000,000 Birds Annually
Second Rate Wind Power Side-lined In China’s Coal-Fired Economic Miracle
Despite claims by wind and solar acolytes that China is well on its way to an all renewables powered future, apparently, the black stuff still matters. A lot. A month or so back, Beijing banned Australian coal imports (dozens of ships loaded with Australian coal are sitting stuck in harbours along China’s south-east coast). Blackouts … Continue reading Second Rate Wind Power Side-lined In China’s Coal-Fired Economic Miracle
Highland Heist: During 2020 Scots Paid Wind Power Outfits £235,000,000 To NOT Produce Power
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind power is costing the normally parsimonious Scots a veritable fortune, even when their wind turbines aren’t producing so much as a spark. There aren’t many businesses where a major source of revenue is being paid to NOT produce what it is that your business is meant to produce. STT … Continue reading Highland Heist: During 2020 Scots Paid Wind Power Outfits £235,000,000 To NOT Produce Power
Winter of Discontent: Brits Face Power Rationing as Wind Power Output Collapses (again and again)
Brits expecting their thousands of wind turbines to deliver the goods this winter have been disappointed, yet again. While Boris Johnson peddles his delusional plan to run the UK entirely on breezes and bluster, the typical (and wholly expected) collapse in wind power output across Britain this winter provides a taste of things to come. … Continue reading Winter of Discontent: Brits Face Power Rationing as Wind Power Output Collapses (again and again)
