Wind turbines don’t run on wind, they run on subsidies: cut the subsidies and once these things inevitably grind to a halt, they’ll never be replaced. With an economic lifespan of something like 10-12 years (rather than the overblown 25 put forward by turbine makers and wind power outfits), over the next decade countries like Germany will be left … Continue reading Filthy Future: The Staggering Cost of Cleaning Up ‘Clean’ Energy’s Toxic Mess
Brits Belted: UK’s Subsidised Wind Power Obsession Leaves 3,000,000 Households Suffering Energy Poverty
Millions of British households face another bitter winter, unable to meet their rocketing power bills. An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind power (both off and onshore) has sent power prices spiralling. And, adding to the misery, the annual cost of renewable energy subsidies, Feed in Tariffs, fixed contract prices for wind and solar etc to … Continue reading Brits Belted: UK’s Subsidised Wind Power Obsession Leaves 3,000,000 Households Suffering Energy Poverty
Permanent Part-Time Power: Wind Power Rush Leaves Texans Scrambling for Reliable Electricity
Being a weather-dependent enterprise, no one thinks of promising their kids a kite flying holiday, ahead of time. So just how modern, Western economies ever thought they’d power themselves with occasional breezes is a mystery. The inherent and chaotic intermittency that’s part and parcel of wind power is only compensated by the ability of dispatchable … Continue reading Permanent Part-Time Power: Wind Power Rush Leaves Texans Scrambling for Reliable Electricity
Battle for Barossa Won: Keyneton Locals Kill-Off Monster Wind Farm & Save Premier Wine Growing District
There’s nothing like winning and there’s nothing like winning against the subsidy-soaked wind industry. Across the globe, thousands of communities are united in their opposition to the threat of giant industrial wind turbines being speared into their backyards. The backlash against the wind industry in German rural communities has brought construction of new wind farms … Continue reading Battle for Barossa Won: Keyneton Locals Kill-Off Monster Wind Farm & Save Premier Wine Growing District
Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie, as does Denmark and South Australia, which each jockey for line honours in the world’s highest power prices stakes. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless … Continue reading Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
Ripping Yarns: Wind & Sun Can’t Power the World: Never Have & Never Will
You know we’ve reached peak stupid when adults line up to be lectured by troubled teenage girls on energy and world economics. Greta the Fretter and the lunatics gluing themselves to roads under the banner of the Extinction Rebellion have made the work of the sane and rational so much easier. For a decade or … Continue reading Ripping Yarns: Wind & Sun Can’t Power the World: Never Have & Never Will
High Energy Fusion: New Age Nuclear Promises Real Clean Energy Future
The chaotic intermittency of daylight-dependent solar and weather-dependent wind mean neither amount to meaningful power sources; not now, not ever. Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no natural commercial value; the only reason we’re talking about this pathetic pair at all, is the subsidies that brought them into existence. Once … Continue reading High Energy Fusion: New Age Nuclear Promises Real Clean Energy Future
Nowhere Trip: New York’s Big Wind Push Delivering Risible Results
Just like everywhere else, New York State’s efforts to run on wind power have proved to be a dismal failure. Here’s the news: calm weather is a thing, always and everywhere. Whether it’s the fertile fields of northern Germany, the rolling hills of northern South Australia or farmland surrounding the great Lakes of North America, … Continue reading Nowhere Trip: New York’s Big Wind Push Delivering Risible Results
Power Supply Crunch: Mass Blackouts Guaranteed When Demand Spikes Coincide With Wind & Solar Collapses
Pin your power needs to the weather and expect results to vary. Last summer saw mass load shedding and blackouts across Victoria, South Australia and NSW when spikes in demand combined with collapses in wind and solar output. Demand patterns are as predictable as the delivery in wind and solar are chaotic. That chaos … Continue reading Power Supply Crunch: Mass Blackouts Guaranteed When Demand Spikes Coincide With Wind & Solar Collapses
Nuclear’s New Dawn: Australians Get Serious About Serious 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 Nuclear’s New Dawn: Australians Get Serious About Serious Power Generation
