Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening

It’s like the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ suddenly lost its mojo. Wild claims and fanciful projections are giving way to a more sober reality. Demand for reliable and affordable energy, including electricity, continues to rise at rates that even the most ambitious wind and solar promoters can’t match. Soaring rhetoric is one thing, backing … Continue reading Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening

Hostility Mounts: Rural Communities Ready to Explode Against Wind & Solar Onslaught

Visit any rural community targeted for industrial wind turbines and solar panels and/or the transmission lines needed to support them, and the rage is truly palpable. Faced with hundreds of 280m high, 300 tonne turbines speared into pristine bush and prime farmland, seas of solar panels - that seemingly stretch to the horizon - and … Continue reading Hostility Mounts: Rural Communities Ready to Explode Against Wind & Solar Onslaught

Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has been covering up whale deaths for the wind industry for years. The government-aided subterfuge has been running ever since the wind industry started building and operating industrial wind turbines along America’s Atlantic coast of the USA. Everyone expects the wind industry to lie. Its existence depends upon … Continue reading Wanna Save the Whale: Then Kill All Offshore Wind Turbine Projects

Want Perpetual Chaos & Grinding Energy Poverty: Dial Up Subsidised Wind & Solar

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
