Unscheduled Battery Blowups Turning Electric Vehicles Into Mobile Time Bombs

The transition to electric vehicles is hardly going to plan: sales have collapsed in the US, EV manufacturers are bleeding cash and insurers are cranking up premiums to account for an uptick in the number of unscheduled battery blowups – aka ‘thermal runaways’. The vehicle doesn’t go anywhere, it simply self-immolates in a plume of … Continue reading Unscheduled Battery Blowups Turning Electric Vehicles Into Mobile Time Bombs

Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen

Wind and solar rent seekers have all the style and menacing panache of the 17th-century highwaymen. It takes real audacity to look your victims in the eye and demand even more subsidies on top of the obscene pile rent seekers have already drawn from taxpayers and power consumers. But these boys are dripping in audacity. … Continue reading Stand & Deliver: ‘Renewable’ Energy Rent-Seekers 21st Century Highwaymen

Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful

2023 will go down as the year that the wind industry began its inevitable implosion. Unable to deliver power as and when power consumers need it (therefore generating electricity with no commercial value), the wind industry was only ever the product of mandates, tax breaks and massive subsidies. Call it a Ponzi scheme, call it … Continue reading Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful

Sun Sets On Subsidised Solar Scam: Solar Energy Share Prices Plummet 40% Overnight

Investors are dumping solar energy shares in the same way users discard worn out panels after their brutally short and punishingly expensive lives. Any ‘industry’ that relies for its existence on other people’s money never lasts all that long. As Margaret Thatcher put it: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of … Continue reading Sun Sets On Subsidised Solar Scam: Solar Energy Share Prices Plummet 40% Overnight

Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security

Dilute, diffuse, intermittent and unreliable, wind and solar make no sense. They will never constitute meaningful power generation sources. They were only designed as subsidy generation sources. As governments pull the plug on subsidies, wind power outfits and turbine makers are pulling the plug on their projects and production. Siemens Energy is losing cash like … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security

Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry

As the offshore wind industry implodes in the US, UK and Northern Europe it’s worth noting the class of villains responsible. Pitching the most insanely expensive method of occasionally generating electricity on a random and entirely chaotic basis took audacity; taking investors for a ride with them took a special kind of malice; and pretending … Continue reading Permanently Cancelled: No Way Back For Embattled Offshore Wind Industry

Towering Infernos: The Wind Industry Keeps Delivering World-Class Pyrotechnics

Fireworks and pyrotechnics events cost serious money, but locals can ‘enjoy’ giant wind turbines self-immolate for free. Sure, it’s safer to stand up wind and avoid the plumes of toxic smoke. But there’s something almost attractive about watching these things fire up and disintegrate in a molten, smoky fury. Of course this is one of … Continue reading Towering Infernos: The Wind Industry Keeps Delivering World-Class Pyrotechnics

Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable

There’s nothing vaguely ‘renewable’ about wind and solar - when panels and turbines give up the ghost after a decade or so, the panels are crushed and dumped in landfills, as are millions of turbine blades. None of which is recycled; none of which is renewable. The panels and turbines are completely replaced and the … Continue reading Worn Out Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Are Replaceable NOT Renewable

Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All

For more than a decade, acolytes and crony capitalists have run the story that offshore wind power is free, and getting cheaper all the time. However, the reality doesn’t match the rhetoric. In the UK, offshore outfits refused to bid at the figures offered by government in the auction by which future (guaranteed) contract prices … Continue reading Latest Audacious Subsidy Grab Proves Offshore Wind Most Expensive Of All

Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse

The smart money is banking on the wind and solar industries’ total collapse; the smartest money was never invested in the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. With subsidised wind and solar looking more like a house of cards, dozens of grand standing projects are being unceremoniously dumped. The potential investors targeted by their proponents … Continue reading Rent-Seekers Retreat: Grand Wind & Solar Transition Faces Total Collapse
