Rent-seekers and the wind and sun cult who run with them are in a flat panic as they realise that their game is up. Mouthing off about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was always going to come unstuck. Reality has a tendency of biting back. Every calm night (ie … Continue reading Blackouts Beckon: Calm Nights Mean Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Nothing But Grand Delusion
Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
When your industry depends on mega-myths and hyped-up hubris, get ready for Armageddon-scale disappointment. GE’s rent-seeking wind power harm, Vernova pumped up its planned 18MW Haliade X offshore turbine with the kind of fanfare once reserved for NASA’s efforts to land men on the Moon. These things have a predilection for plummeting to earth with … Continue reading Gravity Strikes Again: GE’s Mega-Turbine Collapse Kills Offshore Wind Industry
All Washed Up: World’s Largest Floating Solar Plant Destroyed By Rough Weather
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are best explained by the fact that the players are always using someone else’s money. Namely yours, as taxpayers and power consumers. The point is best illustrated by the idiotic nature of the enterprise. Expecting entirely wind-dependent and/or sunshine and weather-dependent generation sources to deliver power around-the-clock sounds stupid enough. … Continue reading All Washed Up: World’s Largest Floating Solar Plant Destroyed By Rough Weather
Italy Joins Europe’s Sudden & Sensible Nuclear Power Push
There really is no choice between always-on, ever-reliable nuclear and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. That’s if you want power delivered, as and when you need it. The need for nuclear power is a reality that’s spreading across Europe, like they’ve hit on the cure for the incurable - with infantile ideology giving way to … Continue reading Italy Joins Europe’s Sudden & Sensible Nuclear Power Push
Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: he loves industrial wind power and couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction it causes. Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by cats, cars and skyscrapers. Ignoring … Continue reading Real Environmentalists Back Safe, Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power
Poverty Trap: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers (Perfectly Avoidable) Economic Disaster
The staggering cost of carpeting the countryside with forests of wind turbines and seas of solar panels are ultimately borne by you: the unwitting taxpayer and power consumer. There is no commercial value in wind and solar power because there is no demand for electricity that can’t be delivered as and when consumers need it. … Continue reading Poverty Trap: Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers (Perfectly Avoidable) Economic Disaster
‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam: Renewables Rent-Seekers’ Latest Wealth Transfer Effort
At the end of every massive wind and solar subsidy rainbow, you’ll find a rent-seeking, crony capitalist salivating at the opportunity to cash in, at your expense. 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 … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hydrogen Scam: Renewables Rent-Seekers’ Latest Wealth Transfer Effort
Crony Capitalists Reckon ‘Green’ Energy Too Expensive to Make ‘Green’ Hydrogen
The myth of producing ‘green’ hydrogen using nothing but wind and solar is yet another effort by crony capitalists to separate taxpayers from their money. If ‘green’ hydrogen was economically feasible, then entrepreneurs would be throwing every penny they could muster at something with so much (apparent) promise. The fact that their first port of … Continue reading Crony Capitalists Reckon ‘Green’ Energy Too Expensive to Make ‘Green’ Hydrogen
Demand-Limiting ‘Smart’ Meters Inevitable Response to Chaotic Wind & Solar Generation
Governments hooked on chaotically delivered wind and solar soon start restricting and micromanaging household power use around calm weather and sunset. So-called ‘smart meters’ are a very dumb response to intermittent wind and solar - even dumber energy sources. ‘Demand management’ is not about giving power consumers what they need, it simply means shutting off … Continue reading Demand-Limiting ‘Smart’ Meters Inevitable Response to Chaotic Wind & Solar Generation
Slashed By Weather: America’s Wind Power Output Plummets 14% To Record Low
America’s wind industry is moaning about the lack of wind, much like the Ancient Mariner becalmed and befuddled by the weather. Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down, ‘Twas sad as sad could be; And we did speak only to break The silence of the sea! All in a hot and copper sky, The … Continue reading Slashed By Weather: America’s Wind Power Output Plummets 14% To Record Low
