It takes more than audacity to promote an all wind and sun powered future - it requires the deluded to make nonsense sound reasonable. When zealots start waffling about wonderful wind and solar ‘resources’, that the wind and sun are ‘free’ and if we all believed together, we’re just a heartbeat away from ditching fossil … Continue reading Tall Texan Tales: Hyperbolic Claims About Wind & Solar Performance in Texas Are Pure Nonsense
How Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroyed Australia’s Economic Competitiveness
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar have sent power prices soaring in Australia. Barely a generation ago, Australians enjoyed the lowest power prices in the world, now they suffer the highest. And it took a little over a decade - see above. In a helpful exposition of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply … Continue reading How Subsidised Wind & Solar Destroyed Australia’s Economic Competitiveness
New Dark Age: Renewable Energy Debacle Crippling Business, Punishing Households
The stated aim of the Green-left is the destruction of Australia’s reliable and affordable electricity supply. It’s dressed up as a burning hatred of evil fossil fuels, but in reality, it’s just naked contempt for their fellow Australians. A couple of warm days last week - coupled with dramatic collapses in wind and solar output … Continue reading New Dark Age: Renewable Energy Debacle Crippling Business, Punishing Households
Reality Check: Heatwave Blackout Gives Victorians Taste of the ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
The dreamers who think they’ll soon be running entirely on sunshine and breezes, have just been smacked with reality, in Victoria, at least. There’s something poetic about watching infants being forced to grow up. And, so it is, with once loyal RE zealots, being forced to rethink their love affair, after their taste of what … Continue reading Reality Check: Heatwave Blackout Gives Victorians Taste of the ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
Renewable Energy Meltdown: Heatwave Leaves Wind ‘Powered’ South Australians Sweltering In the Dark
If you’re relying on the weather for your power, prepare yourself to live without it: South Australians know the drill very well. In yesterday’s post, we focused on 25 January the day when Victorian wind power output struggled to produce 20% of its nameplate capacity, and 200,000 households struggled to survive without air-conditioning, or any … Continue reading Renewable Energy Meltdown: Heatwave Leaves Wind ‘Powered’ South Australians Sweltering In the Dark
Worthless Wind Power: Australia’s RE Debacle Deepens With 200,000 Victorian Households Left Powerless During Heatwave
In renewables obsessed Australia these days, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets, the talk inevitably turns to blackouts. Last summer, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced to power down during a run of scorching … Continue reading Worthless Wind Power: Australia’s RE Debacle Deepens With 200,000 Victorian Households Left Powerless During Heatwave
Avian Exodus: Loons Vacate Vast Tracts of North Sea To Escape Wind Turbines
The wind industry’s rampant bird and bat slaughter is an inconvenient truth, to be sure. The wholesale slaughter of millions of birds and bats – includes rare, endangered and majestic species, like America’s iconic bald and golden eagles. The default response from the wind industry is to lie like fury and – when the corpses can no … Continue reading Avian Exodus: Loons Vacate Vast Tracts of North Sea To Escape Wind Turbines
Pulsing Punishment: Wind Turbine Infrasound Delivers Perpetual Torment for Neighbours
The evidence proving the unnecessary damage done to wind farm neighbours by the noise generated by giant industrial wind turbines is mounting by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep disruption and more (see our post here); and a Swedish group have shown that it’s the pulsing … Continue reading Pulsing Punishment: Wind Turbine Infrasound Delivers Perpetual Torment for Neighbours
Fantastic Nonsense: Claims About All Wind & Solar Powered Future Completely Implausible
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that we’ll all soon be powered entirely by sunshine and breezes. These days, those peddling that myth are guaranteed to be in on the greatest government-backed rort in history. Fantastic stories continue to appear about our imminent transition to a world that runs entirely on 100% … Continue reading Fantastic Nonsense: Claims About All Wind & Solar Powered Future Completely Implausible
Grubby ‘Green’: Sierra Club Pockets $Millions Plugging Environment Wrecking Wind Projects
The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And when we say money, we mean hundreds of billions of dollars of other people’s money. In Australia alone, the Federal Government’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target will redirect over $60 billion in subsidies to wind and large-scale solar operators (all drawn from … Continue reading Grubby ‘Green’: Sierra Club Pockets $Millions Plugging Environment Wrecking Wind Projects
