The wind and solar ‘transition’ has nothing to do with providing reliable and affordable power. It’s a wealth transfer from power consumers and taxpayers to rent seekers - driven by ideologues and enabled by politicos who wouldn’t know a kilowatt from their elbow. Australia’s Eastern Grid is a heartbeat away from total collapse. Once upon … Continue reading Want Perpetual Chaos & Grinding Energy Poverty: Dial Up Subsidised Wind & Solar
Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
As the sun sets on a calm afternoon, talk about a ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds delusional, because it is. The cult is driven by that very delusion, however. But those who have been dragged along for the ride are finally waking up to the fact that first world economies can’t run on sunshine and … Continue reading Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
Locals’ War Against Industrial Wind Power Spreading Like Turbines On Fire
America’s rural communities hate industrial wind power with a passion and they fight. Well-organised and litigious, since 2015 America’s community defenders have knocked out over 600 industrial scale wind and solar projects, so far – see Robert Bryce’s Renewable Rejection Database. And they’re not about to let up. A wind power outfit backed by the … Continue reading Locals’ War Against Industrial Wind Power Spreading Like Turbines On Fire
Energy and the Wealth of Nations: Expensive Energy Guarantees Miserable Poverty
It takes a few nights freezing or boiling in the dark for Westerners to recognise how critical energy is to their lives, health and safety. Helpfully, the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is providing just that kind of opportunity for reflection. Whether it’s mass State-wide blackouts - as wind and solar ‘powered’ South Australians experienced … Continue reading Energy and the Wealth of Nations: Expensive Energy Guarantees Miserable Poverty
No Country Powers Itself Entirely With Wind & Solar; No Country Ever Will
Language matters. Orwell knew it, so does your local Ministry of Truth. Wind and solar propagandists know it too. They use ‘energy’, when consumers only care about ‘power’. They talk about wind and solar output in terms of meaningless averages, when consumers only care about having power as and when they need it, around-the-clock, whatever … Continue reading No Country Powers Itself Entirely With Wind & Solar; No Country Ever Will
Facts Beat Feelings: Media’s Grand ‘Green Energy Transition’ Narrative Unravels
The ‘green’ neo-Marxist loves a grand sweeping narrative, and none better than the myth that we’ll all soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. How one ‘feels’ about an issue always gets precedence over pesky rules, like the laws of physics and economics. Not one State or Nation has ever run itself entirely … Continue reading Facts Beat Feelings: Media’s Grand ‘Green Energy Transition’ Narrative Unravels
Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
The cult demonises coal for the CO2 it releases, but without a hint of irony reckons that the CO2 released from wood is a completely different molecule. Adding the term ‘biomass’ to the millions of tonnes of timber stripped from the forests of the northern hemisphere apparently makes all the difference. Whereas the term ‘dirty’ … Continue reading Slash & Burn: The Cult Hates Coal-Fired Power But Loves Whole Forest-Fired Power
The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Frozen wind turbines and solar panels buried under piles of snow and ice produce nothing at all, except photo opportunities. When the weather conspires against the ‘unreliables’, somewhere there will be a coal, or gas or diesel powered generator ready to swing into action and prevent you from freezing in the dark. However, if the … Continue reading The Real Climate Crisis: Relying Upon Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
Real ‘Green’ Energy: Germany Bulldozes Ancient Fairytale Forest For Wind Turbines
If the wilderness being turned into smouldering ash is used as a platform for hundreds of 260m high/300 tonne industrial juggernauts, it’s all for the greater good (as in the case above, where huge areas of pristine tropical rainforest is being wiped out in Far North Queensland to make way for hundreds of these things). … Continue reading Real ‘Green’ Energy: Germany Bulldozes Ancient Fairytale Forest For Wind Turbines
Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
It takes more than just your average leap of logic to contend that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ constitutes rational energy policy. That so-called ‘policy’ means doling out massive subsidies to wind and solar generators for weather-dependent occasional power; then subsidising coal-fired power plants to stay operating to fill the ‘gaps’ caused by sunset … Continue reading Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
