Setting fire to cash is one way of destroying value, throwing $billions in subsidies at intermittent wind and solar is just as effective. Chicago gangsters displayed their notorious net worth by stoking up their stogies with hundred-dollar bills. Easy come, easy go, as they say. So it is with the unreliables: wind and solar. Australian … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Rocketing Prices & Blackouts Only ‘Dividend’ From $60bn in Subsidies to Wind & Solar
French Kiss of Death: Paris Obsession Driving Australian Power Prices Through the Roof
For Australian households and businesses being crushed by out-of-control power prices the Paris Climate Agreement is a maniac’s suicide note.

Blame Games: Public Being Played for Fools About Surging Power Prices by Wind & Solar Lobby
‘Support’ for subsidised wind and solar exists because Joe Public has absolutely no idea how power is generated or what it actually costs.

Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia
South Australia is renowned for the world’s highest power prices and mass blackouts, thanks to its risible ‘reliance’ on sunshine and breezes.

America Pushes Nuclear Option: President Launches Plan for Advanced Nuclear Plants
America truly is exceptional: while plenty of Western democracies are still piling into subsidised wind and solar, the USA is getting out.

Renewables Reckoning: German Business Being Throttled by Rocketing Power Prices
There’s something uncanny about the relationship between rocketing power prices and renewable energy: ask a German, Dane or South Australian. The consequences of Germany’s obsession with sunshine and breezes are starting to hit home, with a vengeance.

Wind Power’s Total Wipe-out: Study Shows Bats Perish or Vanish Wherever Wind Turbines Go Up
Wind and sun worshipping eco-zealots don’t hold a monopoly on hypocrisy, but come very close.

Sudden Wind Change: Wind Industry Wilts as Ontario Scraps ‘Green’ Energy Act
Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne simultaneously destroyed her political fortunes, as she set about destroying one of Canada’s most productive provinces. A raft of policies drawn up by Wynne and her fellow eco-zealots, all safely ensconced in Toronto, resulted in thousands of these things being speared right across Ontario. Furious communities and rocketing power prices are the … Continue reading Sudden Wind Change: Wind Industry Wilts as Ontario Scraps ‘Green’ Energy Act
Full-Steam Ahead: China & Japan Snub Intermittent Wind & Solar to Build Hundreds of New-Age Coal-Fired Plants
One hackneyed myth propounded by RE zealots is that China is well on its way to an all wind and sun powered future. The reality differs. Instead of worshipping nature’s wonder fuels, China is flat out building hundreds of high-efficiency, low-emissions coal-fired plant, in a concerted effort to drag itself out of the grinding agrarian … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: China & Japan Snub Intermittent Wind & Solar to Build Hundreds of New-Age Coal-Fired Plants
