Recharging a mobile phone with a solar panel when you’re camping might be a wheeze, but don’t expect solar to deliver serious power when you need it most. A few years back, Greenpeace turned up in an Indian village, Dharnai and supplied it with a solar-powered micro-grid, crowing that “Dharnai refused to give into the … Continue reading Second-Rate Solar: Cloudy Weather Brings Chaos to Communities Reliant on Solar Power
Australia’s Completely Nuts: World’s Third Biggest Uranium Exporter Maintains Ban On Nuclear Power Generation
Australians fed up with crushing power bills are talking about a nuclear powered future, like there’s no tomorrow. Having recognised that climate alarmists will never relent in their crusade against carbon dioxide gas – being a proxy for eradicating cheap, reliable and affordable coal-fired power – anyone interested in a future where hot showers and … Continue reading Australia’s Completely Nuts: World’s Third Biggest Uranium Exporter Maintains Ban On Nuclear Power Generation
Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
The renewable energy cult raves about the ‘inevitable transition’, pointing to Germany as the shining example, which it is, if your point is that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will inevitably drive power prices through the roof and leave hopeful power consumers freezing in the dark. No country went harder and faster … Continue reading Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, it’s probably time to listen. When we posted this story – Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’ – in February last year, listen they did – that post went viral with over 45,000 hits. Where … Continue reading ‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
‘Green’ Energy Rip-Off: Consumers Paying Double For Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Sunset and calm weather mean wind and solar can and will never replace conventional power generators. By ‘conventional’ we mean coal, gas, nuclear and, where geography and geology permit, stored hydro and geothermal power. Show a picture like the one above – the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (with … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Rip-Off: Consumers Paying Double For Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Settling Up: Irish Wind Farm Operator Pays Three Children €225,000 Compensation For Suffering Caused by Turbine Noise
Wind developers face liability in the millions for the nuisance caused by unrelenting, turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. Litigation is where the rubber hits the road: myths get replaced with facts; evidence overtakes spin and propaganda. Court rooms (and where they determine the facts, juries) strike fear into the (ordinarily icy) hearts of those … Continue reading Settling Up: Irish Wind Farm Operator Pays Three Children €225,000 Compensation For Suffering Caused by Turbine Noise
False Dawn: On The Hollow Promise Of An All Wind & Solar Powered Future
Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was 36 years ago. There has been no lack of assistance in the form of … Continue reading False Dawn: On The Hollow Promise Of An All Wind & Solar Powered Future
$Billions Wasted: Australia’s Massive Wind & Solar Surge Fails to Cut CO2 Emissions
The one, nay the only, ‘justification’ for the $billions squandered on subsidised wind and solar power is ‘saving’ the planet from CO2 gas. Except, that the wind and solar industries have never produced a shred of credible evidence that chaotic and intermittent wind & solar power have actually reduced CO2 gas emissions, anywhere on that … Continue reading $Billions Wasted: Australia’s Massive Wind & Solar Surge Fails to Cut CO2 Emissions
Atomic RE-Action: Wind & Solar’s Proven Unreliability Makes Nuclear Obvious Choice For Clean Energy Future
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are central to Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity. But, as the adage has it, out of every crisis comes an opportunity. And for uranium rich Australia that opportunity is nuclear power. Whacked with a legislative ban over 20 years ago, nuclear power has been … Continue reading Atomic RE-Action: Wind & Solar’s Proven Unreliability Makes Nuclear Obvious Choice For Clean Energy Future
Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
Renewable energy rent-seekers have been furiously peddling the myth that mega-batteries were a free and easy solution to the hopeless intermittency of weather-dependent wind and solar. The line goes that giant banks of lithium ion cells can store ‘free and abundant’ wind and solar power, whenever the sun is up and the wind is … Continue reading Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
