Remember how the wind and solar industries would create hundreds of thousands of highly-paid groovy ‘green’ jobs? No? Well, as it turns out, the few (highly subsidised) jobs created are disappearing like the sun over the horizon. Although, for the axed workers, there will be no reappearance the following day. Easy come, easy go. Siemens … Continue reading Siemens Sinks: Germany’s Top Wind Turbine Maker Sacks 4,100 Workers Overnight
Nuclear Fatality: Rent-Seekers Rage As Wind & Solar ‘Investment’ Collapses
The wind and solar industries are treating nuclear power like some kind of evil, arch-enemy. Fair enough. While the number of human fatalities caused by nuclear power generation would fit in a couple of school buses, the entire subsidised wind and solar scam faces total wipe out, simply because they can never compete - on … Continue reading Nuclear Fatality: Rent-Seekers Rage As Wind & Solar ‘Investment’ Collapses
‘Green’ Hydrogen: Greed & Delusion Drives Latest Huckster’s Hype-Fest
Never stand between rent-seekers and a bucket of taxpayer's cash, especially when they add 'green' to whatever the latest crony capitalist scam might be. Which brings us to the fast and loose talk about the 'hydrogen-powered' economy. Hopeful hucksters have added the tag 'green' to hydrogen - they purportedly want to produce using chaotically intermittent … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hydrogen: Greed & Delusion Drives Latest Huckster’s Hype-Fest
Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
The wind industry never lets facts shake the entrenched delusion that wind power is cheap and always available. One of the more troublesome facts relates to cost. Whereas the true and total cost of onshore wind power is merely exorbitant, taking these things kilometres offshore means the true cost of (occasionally) generating electricity is off … Continue reading Propaganda Overload: Offshore Wind Industry’s Costs Claims Hit Peak Delusion
Chaos Rules: Massive Wind Power Output Collapses Threaten Total Grid Failure
The claim that spreading wind turbines far and wide means you’ll have power around-the-clock is just more wind industry myth. Australia’s Eastern Grid provides all the evidence required to render that story plainly risible - and it can all be done with pictures. Spread from Far North Queensland, across the ranges of NSW, all over … Continue reading Chaos Rules: Massive Wind Power Output Collapses Threaten Total Grid Failure
If Wind and Solar Are So Cheap – Why The Need For Massive & Endless Subsidies?
Claims that wind and solar are the cheapest form of energy there is, never survive first contact with reality. The first exhibit is the massive and endless subsidies, without which there would be no wind or solar industries, at all. If left to the market, there would be no generation of wind and solar, at … Continue reading If Wind and Solar Are So Cheap – Why The Need For Massive & Endless Subsidies?
‘Unlucky’ Break: America’s Grand Wind Power Gamble Failing In Spectacular Style
Gamblers bet on anything with favourable odds, but betting on wind and sunshine for your power needs means the house always wins - with you sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. America has poured hundreds of $billions in subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar and, predictably enough, the grand wind and solar bet … Continue reading ‘Unlucky’ Break: America’s Grand Wind Power Gamble Failing In Spectacular Style
How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Talking about an energy transition on a dead calm, cloudy winter’s morning, when wind and solar output amounts to a doughnut, is positively delusional; claiming that wind and solar are the cheapest generation source of all (when wind and solar can’t be hundred any price) is utterly bonkers. The fact that the matter is (and … Continue reading How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Code Red: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Suffer Full Nuclear Meltdown
The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ turn apoplectic at the very mention of safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. The wind and sun cult claim wind and solar are the only way of producing power without emitting carbon dioxide gas. Leaving aside the benefits of naturally occurring plant food, let’s take them at their word … Continue reading Code Red: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Suffer Full Nuclear Meltdown
Renewable Storage Claims Incinerated: Lithium Batteries Burn For Days
When self-immolating lithium-ion batteries start spewing toxic smoke, the action last for days because firefighters won't go near them. They simply let them burn themselves out, and if that takes a week, so be it. And it’s not just those in service providing deadly pyrotechnic displays (see above the giant Tesla that burned for days in … Continue reading Renewable Storage Claims Incinerated: Lithium Batteries Burn For Days
