No one cares much about electricity, until they don’t have it. For the best part of a century, proles in the industrialised world have enjoyed electricity on the same terms as running water; ubiquitous, cheap and always available. Infrastructure interruptions during electrical storms and wild weather aside, electricity has been generated and delivered on … Continue reading Lone Star Losers: Wind Power Collapses During Texan Heatwave & Power Prices Rocket
Wind Industry Crisis Spreads: German & Australian Environmentalists Turn Against Pointless & Destructive Wind Power
The inevitable backlash against wind power started in Germany and it’s spreading, fast. The fact that chaotically intermittent wind power can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it means the wanton destruction of pristine wilderness, bucolic landscapes, rural communities, and millions of birds and bats (including plenty of species on the brink of … Continue reading Wind Industry Crisis Spreads: German & Australian Environmentalists Turn Against Pointless & Destructive Wind Power
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Let’s Not Make A New ‘Green’ Deal
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Green-left’s favourite flibbertigibbet. Her New Green Deal, with its promise of 100% wind and solar delivering power for all, for free and for all time, should have been dismissed as fairytale nonsense, long ago. However, there are plenty of pixie dream girls and boys happy to suck it up, like there’s … Continue reading Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Let’s Not Make A New ‘Green’ Deal
New Dark Ages: Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Renders Germany the Blackout Nation
The Germans have been dealing with the chaos delivered by intermittent wind and solar for a decade now, so it’s no surprise that they’ve already taken a close look at what happens when the power goes out: Blackout Blueprint: German Study Reveals What Really Happens When Power Supplies Fail When the lights go out for an hour … Continue reading New Dark Ages: Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Renders Germany the Blackout Nation
It’s a Gas: New Gas Power Plant Design Eliminates Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
Fretting about carbon dioxide gas is not just a way of life, it’s a religion, with wind turbines the proxy for crucifixes and eternal salvation. STT largely leaves the debate about whether or not CO2 is killing the planet to other specialist sites. So, if you’re looking for a stoush, why not head over to … Continue reading It’s a Gas: New Gas Power Plant Design Eliminates Carbon Dioxide Gas Emissions
No More Mr Nice Guy: It’s Past Time to Flip the Bird at Wind Turbines
The wind industry has been stealing from us for almost 30 years now. $Trillions in subsidies and all we’ve got to show for it are rocketing power prices, pristine landscapes turned to industrial wastelands, wrecked rural communities and bird and bat carnage. Even former Greens leader, Bob Brown spat the dummy recently over plans to … Continue reading No More Mr Nice Guy: It’s Past Time to Flip the Bird at Wind Turbines
On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
The relationship between rocketing power prices and chaotically intermittent wind and solar is crystal clear. Let’s call it Germany, Denmark and South Australia, where wind and solar obsessions have driven power prices into orbit. While RE zealots continue to chant the mantra that wind and solar are practically free, and getting cheaper all the time, … Continue reading On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
Summertime Blues: Renewable Energy Chaos Guarantees More Dark & Sweaty Nights Ahead
Plug your energy hopes into the weather and expect mixed results. No country has ever powered itself using wind power; no country ever will. Australia’s attempt to do so has ended in a fiasco. The leader of the pack, South Australia - a state which set and met its very own 50% RET - suffers … Continue reading Summertime Blues: Renewable Energy Chaos Guarantees More Dark & Sweaty Nights Ahead
Blackout Bitching: Feds Blame States For Australia’s Renewables Fiasco
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. The circus started in 2001, when Liberal PM, John Howard introduced a modest Renewable Energy Target, which translated at the time to around 5% of electricity generation. Thereafter, wind power outfits, like the notorious Babcock & Brown (which went bankrupt and … Continue reading Blackout Bitching: Feds Blame States For Australia’s Renewables Fiasco
Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power
One issue that annoys RE zealots, like a burr under a frisky pony’s saddle blanket, is the wind industry’s rampant bird and bat slaughter. It’s an inconvenient truth to be sure. But, as with everything that the wind industry does, if you can’t keep a straight face while lying about it any more, then pull … Continue reading Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power
