Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really Means Burning Way More Gas

Before ideologues launched their grand wind and solar 'transition', gas was rarely used to generate power if coal, nuclear or hydro sources were available. Gas-fired electricity, in the main, was simply too expensive, by comparison with coal-fired power. Coal-fired generators are designed to run around-the-clock. Wind turbines and solar panels only run according to the … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really Means Burning Way More Gas

Grand Lunacy: New York Shut Down Nuclear Plants & Wrecked Its Power Supply

New York State is another place where wind and solar-obsessed lunatics have seized control of energy policy. The notional objective was to reduce carbon oxide gas emissions using nothing more than sunshine and breezes. Ever-reliable nuclear power (which does not generate CO2 during the generation process) is deemed a mortal threat to the ideologues’ utopian … Continue reading Grand Lunacy: New York Shut Down Nuclear Plants & Wrecked Its Power Supply

Plains Justice: Judge Orders Entire (84 Turbine) Wind Farm Be Removed From Osage Land

After a 12-year battle, America’s Osage defeated an Italian wind power outfit, with a court ordering the removal of 84 turbines illegally speared into their tribal lands. Riding roughshod over the rights of indigenous peoples and desecrating their sacred land is all in a day’s work for the wind industry. At places like the Bald … Continue reading Plains Justice: Judge Orders Entire (84 Turbine) Wind Farm Be Removed From Osage Land

Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities

The wind industry manages to spread poverty and misery wherever it goes. Power prices inevitably rocket - wrecking businesses and whole industries. Adding to the economic suffering, once peaceful and prosperous rural communities are treated as road-kill. Eco-zealots have attempted to ram wind and solar power down the throats of Third World governments under the … Continue reading Misery Spreaders: Wind Industry Rides Roughshod Over India’s Rural Communities

Floating Wrecks: Perpetually Failing Siemens Offshore Wind Turbines Practically Uninsurable

The wind industry’s sudden implosion saw Siemens suffer a €5.8 billion ($6.3 billion) market value write-down in a single day in June, followed by another 40% write-down in October - slashing a further €3 billion ($3.16 billion) off its market value, following revelations by Siemens that it was demanding billions in government-backed guarantees from the … Continue reading Floating Wrecks: Perpetually Failing Siemens Offshore Wind Turbines Practically Uninsurable

Renewables Targets Scrapped: Britain Joins French Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance

The French are just the latest European power to ditch ludicrous wind and solar generation targets in favour of nuclear power. And Britain is lining up to do much the same. Both have adopted net zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets, and the only way of meeting them is safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. … Continue reading Renewables Targets Scrapped: Britain Joins French Nuclear Power Generation Renaissance

Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth

Coal, then oil and gas, have driven the mechanization and industrialisation responsible for lifting billions out of agrarian poverty, and all in the space of little more than a century. As a band of miserable misanthropes would have it, oil, coal and gas are an unadulterated evil to be driven back to the earthly depths … Continue reading Prosperity Essentials: Why Coal, Oil & Gas Keep Delivering Heaven on Earth

Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing

You’ll own nothing and be happy, and you’ll feel pure bliss, freezing or boiling in the dark. Well, that’s what the wind and solar transition mob would have you believe. However, the likelihood of feeling happy or grateful living in a world without reliable and affordable power is pretty low. Electricity is one of those … Continue reading Transition to Miserable Poverty: Net Zero Targets Designed So You Live With Nothing

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure

Once ideologues replaced engineers, reliable and affordable electricity supplies were doomed. It began 20 years ago, with massive subsidies for the occasional production of electricity using wind turbines and solar panels. There was no shortage of perfectly reliable electricity at the time. Back then, electricity was not only reliably delivered on demand, it was cheap. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure

Destroying the Planet to ‘Save It’: Green Hypocrites Demand Even More Wind & Solar

Leaving a wake of environmental destruction wherever it plies its subsidy-soaked trade, the wind industry is the Grand Master of green hypocrisy. Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. And it’s not just pristine rainforests - critical habitat for a countless … Continue reading Destroying the Planet to ‘Save It’: Green Hypocrites Demand Even More Wind & Solar
