There’s no real argument in favour of offshore wind power, and plenty of serious arguments against. Start with the absolutely staggering cost, which has major proponents demanding even greater subsidies from taxpayers and/or higher prices in the guaranteed power contracts they ink with governments. With governments increasingly refusing to play ball, proponents are simply dropping … Continue reading Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition
Scorched Earth: Subsidised Wind & Solar Wreaking Economic Havoc Everywhere
Keep cranking up power prices and watch your economy slowly disappear. Subsidised wind and solar guarantee the former and the latter simply follows. Every country that has tapped into the so-called wind and solar transition is suffering from power prices that are simply out of this world. Australia is a case in point. Having just … Continue reading Scorched Earth: Subsidised Wind & Solar Wreaking Economic Havoc Everywhere
Highway Robbery: How Wind & Solar Subsidies Drive Power Prices Out of This World
Every country that’s tapped into subsidised wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices. No ifs, no buts, no exceptions. The cost of the subsidies, both explicit and implicit, constitute a substantial part of the staggering and increasing power bills that households and businesses are being smashed with. Australia is a prime example. Just over … Continue reading Highway Robbery: How Wind & Solar Subsidies Drive Power Prices Out of This World
Energy Scale: Nuclear Powered Future Means Thinking Big & Acting Now
When it comes to reliable and affordable power, big truly is beautiful. There has been plenty of focus on Small Modular Reactors which, in time, promise to revolutionise the generation and distribution of electricity. However, in the here and now, in Australia the heavy lifting is being done by large-scale coal-fired generators, with gas, diesel … Continue reading Energy Scale: Nuclear Powered Future Means Thinking Big & Acting Now
Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie
Claiming that wind and solar are green is simply nuts. Delivering rubbish power and leaving mountains of toxic rubbish in their wake, solar panels and industrial wind turbines are the antithesis of ‘green’. Assuming that ‘green’ means friendly to environments, people and the communities that they live in? As Michael Shellenberger explains during this Chris … Continue reading Blown Away: World Waking Up To The Big ‘Green’ Energy Lie
Thermal Reaction: Neighbours Demand Protection From Raging Wind Turbine Fires
Way more common than the industry lets on, self-combusting industrial wind turbines pose a deadly threat to life and property. When these 300 tonne juggernauts go up in flames it’s time to cut and run. And if flying chunks of burning toxic plastics and molten metals aren’t enough to contend with, neighbours have been dodging … Continue reading Thermal Reaction: Neighbours Demand Protection From Raging Wind Turbine Fires
Pointless Preaching: Zero Chance of Meeting Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets
Setting pointless targets and announcing five-year plans is all the rage, which includes playing accounting tricks with carbon dioxide gas emissions. So-called net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets are just the latest tool employed by crony capitalists to separate the poor from their hard-earned cash. Those behind the scam know full well the targets they … Continue reading Pointless Preaching: Zero Chance of Meeting Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets
Mega-Pumped Hydro Project Becomes Total Economic & Environmental Disaster
Touted as the saviour for subsidised wind and solar, pumped hydro turns out to be a whole lot harder in practice. The Snowy 2.0 plan (see above) never stacked up economically – see our posts here and here – and never will. One of the tunnel boring machines (TBMs) critical to the project, Florence had barely struck … Continue reading Mega-Pumped Hydro Project Becomes Total Economic & Environmental Disaster
Hello Hydrogen: Mythical ‘Green’ Gas All Set to Explode on Energy Scene
Unable to deal head-on with the hopeless intermittency of wind and solar, acolytes are reduced to waffling about batteries and so-called ‘green’ hydrogen gas as the answer. Stripped back, the great hydrogen hoax is just another scheme dreamt up by crony capitalists to gouge subsidies from unwitting taxpayers, all the support of their political enablers. … Continue reading Hello Hydrogen: Mythical ‘Green’ Gas All Set to Explode on Energy Scene
Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
A while back, wind industry spinners reckoned tourists would flock to see a few of these whirling wonders in action, now they’re flocking to their graveyards. Texans now have the opportunity to visit the growing piles of toxic turbine blades and other junk left over after these things give up the ghost. James Morrow and … Continue reading Touring Texan Turbine Graveyards Becomes Latest Green Tourism Venture
