Wind and solar obsessed South Australians know the drill: Déjà Vu (All Over Again): Yet Another Wind Power Output Collapse Plunges 200,000 South Australian Homes into the Dark Ages The unscheduled Earth Hour that hit the … Continue reading Big Apple Blackouts: New Yorkers Can Thank Cuomo’s Wind Power Obsession
Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Squandering other people’s money is what the wind and solar industries do best. Let’s face it, they wouldn’t exist without massive and endless subsidies. The chaotic power they occasionally produce has no commercial value and as Warren Buffett put it “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the … Continue reading Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Solar Eclipsed: Renewable Energy Investors Fret as Share Price Plummets
The hopes of renewable energy investors depend on subsidies to wind and solar lasting forever. Sadly, for those with skin in the game, the longevity of the subsidies, targets, mandates, penalties and fines - that make intermittent wind and solar profitable - are limited. The idea was, of course, that after a decade or so … Continue reading Solar Eclipsed: Renewable Energy Investors Fret as Share Price Plummets
Nuclear Power: Safe, 24/7 CO2 Free Generation – What On Earth is Australia Waiting For?
Tell someone from the first world that the world’s 3rd biggest uranium producer banned nuclear power generation and you’ll be met with bewilderment. But, that’s precisely the case: 20 years ago, the country with the largest uranium reserves in the world placed a ban on nuclear power stations; unlike the 30 Countries around the Globe … Continue reading Nuclear Power: Safe, 24/7 CO2 Free Generation – What On Earth is Australia Waiting For?
Just Deserts: Wind Power Outfits Sued For Causing South Australia’s Statewide Blackout
On 28 September 2016, the automatic shutdown of wind turbines in South Australia during a spring storm delivered a statewide ‘system black’. South Australia’s hapless Premier, Jay Weatherill led the wind industry’s propaganda charge, claiming that the collapse of a couple of power pylons in the state’s mid-North was what done it. The collapse of … Continue reading Just Deserts: Wind Power Outfits Sued For Causing South Australia’s Statewide Blackout
Wedge-Tail Wipeout: Tasmanian Wind Farms Threaten Eagle Extinction
Cars, cats and skyscrapers don’t kill Eagles, but 60 m wind turbine blades with their tips travelling at 350 Kph routinely smash them out of existence. In Australia’s designated National Park, Tasmania, its peculiar species of Wedge-Tailed Eagle is both rare and endangered. Now it faces the existential threat of ever more and even … Continue reading Wedge-Tail Wipeout: Tasmanian Wind Farms Threaten Eagle Extinction
Ever-Reliable Nuclear: For When the Wind Don’t Blow & the Sun Don’t Shine
Sunset and calm weather and the reasons why wind and solar power have never worked; and never will. Cost-effective storage is a pipe dream. Talk about mega-lithium batteries is just so much propaganda, designed to avoid the inevitable conclusion that the world has squandered hundreds of billions of dollars on renewable energy, with nothing … Continue reading Ever-Reliable Nuclear: For When the Wind Don’t Blow & the Sun Don’t Shine
Wind Power Setting The World On Fire: Spontaneously Combusting Wind Turbine Sparks Washington Wildfire
Got a wind developer trying to get your community to sign up for wind turbines, ask them about the wildfires sparked when they self-combust. Wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have blown up in balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal and over 1,000 … Continue reading Wind Power Setting The World On Fire: Spontaneously Combusting Wind Turbine Sparks Washington Wildfire
