Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Forces Poor to Transfer Their (Meagre) Wealth to the (Already) Wealthy

The grand wind and solar scam was designed so a few get to profit outrageously at the expense of the many – and they’re called ‘rent seekers’ for good reason: Rent-seeking is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity. An example of rent-seeking is […]

Never Enough: Wind Industry Squanders Billions & Demands Even More Subsidies From Taxpayers

After 30 years and plenty of talk about being ‘competitive’ with coal, gas and nuclear, wind and solar are still being treated like untamable toddlers. The subsidies they begged for in the beginning were meant to help so-called ‘infant’ industries get on their feet. But, even now, the mere mention of reducing subsidies turns them […]

Lost In Transmission: Connecting Remote Wind & Solar To Cities Will Cost $Trillions

Our power grids were working just fine, until unreliable, intermittent and diffuse wind and solar turned up. Insanely costly in any event, now we’re told that our ‘inevitable transition’ will cost $trillions more, with the additional cost that comes with hooking up thousands more wind turbines and millions more solar panels, spread far and wide. […]

Industrial Wind & Solar: Simply Perfect For Wrecking Communities & The Environment

Industrial scale wind and solar are world leaders when it comes to wrecking communities and destroying the environment. Heavily subsidized, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human […]

Wind & Solar: Always & Everywhere Dependent On Massive & Endless Subsidies

Never stand between rent seekers and a fat pile of taxpayers’ money. The wind and solar industries were built on lies and myth, but they can only survive when there’s a steady stream of massive and endless subsidies. Cut the subsidies and rent seekers disappear in a heartbeat. BP was once the head of the […]

Reality Bites: Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster Forces Serious Reversal On ‘Green’ Transition

Eventually, order emerges from chaos. Thanks to the chaos of Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar disaster, reality is starting to take hold, with the promise of order on the horizon. Investment in new wind turbines and solar panels has plummeted across Europe. Coal-fired power is back in vogue and nuclear plants are the next must-have. […]

Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching

Wind power outfits once ran a line about wind farms providing new and exciting tourist opportunities. Inquisitive folk would pack the kids into the Prius and head into the country, so they could get up close and personal to a few of these whirling wonders, drawn in by their purportedly majestic awe and left feeling […]

Believe It or Not: Greta Thunberg Arrested While Protesting AGAINST Wind Turbines

That Greta Thunberg has decided to help Stop These Things is noteworthy, in itself. And getting arrested (twice) for her trouble is all in a day’s work for a modern-day Joan of Arc, like Greta. Now, don’t get us wrong, the antsy young Swede has plenty of enviro-babble baggage, but we can’t complain about her […]

Clown Show: Wind & Solar Obsessed Idiots Now Firmly In Charge of Energy Policy

If the delusion that we’re destined to run on nothing but wind and solar were a disease, it would have been declared a pandemic, long ago. The symptoms are readily observed – a trenchant and unshakeable belief that wind and solar can completely replace, coal, gas and nuclear power – they’re contagious and almost impossible […]

All Downhill: Australia’s Largest Pumped Hydro Scheme Grinds to Insanely Costly Halt

Loose talk about ‘green’ hydrogen, mega-batteries and pumped hydro is the default response from rent seekers forced to face up to wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency. None of the aforementioned generate a single watt of electricity; all of them chew up mountains of energy and resources in their creation; and all of them consume electricity […]
