Terrified Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Drive Crazed Anti-Nuclear Stance

Over the last 20 years, the energy narrative has been owned by those profiting from the grand wind and solar scam. These days, not so much. Now that a raft of countries around the world have embraced nuclear power, crony capitalists have recognised ever-reliable nuclear as a clear and present danger. Because (unlike wind and … Continue reading Terrified Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Drive Crazed Anti-Nuclear Stance

Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession

There’s no better example of how heavily subsidised wind and solar will wreck an economy than Germany. Over the last 20 years, the Germans have destroyed their once reliable and affordable power supplies and ‘replaced’ it with chaotically intermittent wind and solar; but without coal-fired power from Poland and nuclear power from France, Germans would … Continue reading Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession

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
