The grand wind and solar 'transition' guarantees households and businesses get to suffer crushing power bills. Or, in cases where the massive subsidies to wind and solar power outfits are collected from taxpayers, rather than from power consumers through their power bills, those bills may be cheaper as a result. But the buck still stops … Continue reading Transition to Poverty: If Wind and Solar Get Any Cheaper, We’ll All Go Broke
Diesel-Driven: Electric Car Charging Stations Powered by Giant Banks of Diesel Generators
While wind and solar advocates reckon we’ll all soon be driving electric vehicles charged up using sunshine and breezes, it’s ‘dirty’ old diesel that’s doing all the hard work. In Australia, those seemingly virtuous souls with EVs are really being propelled by coal, because 85% of the electricity passing through its Eastern grid comes from … Continue reading Diesel-Driven: Electric Car Charging Stations Powered by Giant Banks of Diesel Generators
Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Keep adding wind and solar to your grid and get ready for not only rocketing power bills, but routine power rationing. Once upon a time, electricity was cheap and it flowed like running water. Civil and ordered society demanded it. Nowadays, when the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t … Continue reading Renewable Energy Outfits Tell Power Consumers: Start Enjoying Routine Blackouts
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Always Deliver Higher Power Prices
Looking to thank someone for your latest power bill, then look no further than subsidised wind and solar. The ‘unreliables’ are the principal reason why retail power bills are rising at unprecedented rates. Behind the curtain, there are a number of forces at work which, over the last decade or so, have entirely upended the … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Always Deliver Higher Power Prices
Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
The ‘transition’ to portable electric generators, flashlights and candles is well on its way. The inevitable consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes is having power only when the sun is up and the wind is blowing, just right. Grid-scale energy storage is a myth, as is waffle about so-called ‘green’ hydrogen. The … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Guaranteed to Deliver Mass Blackouts This Summer
Facts Trump Feelings: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Tale Rapidly Unravels
The only certainties attached to the wind and solar transition are being constantly whacked with crushing power bills and sitting freezing or boiling in the dark, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Whereas Europeans are crab-walking away from their mad rush towards wind and solar - with many tapping into next-generation nuclear power … Continue reading Facts Trump Feelings: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Tale Rapidly Unravels
Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage
Wind and solar rent-seekers are laughing all the way to the bank, with your money. Subsidising wind and solar operators under the mantle of reaching mythical net-zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets comes with a staggering cost: wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies. The cult that drives it all, has seriously underestimated the proles’ … Continue reading Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage
No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers
So much for all the cheap talk about wind power being cheap. Offshore wind power is so expensive it can’t attract a buyer. In the UK, the last round of the government’s annual auction - which awards 15-year contracts to wind and solar generators, taking their occasional produce at a set price - did not … Continue reading No Bid: Offshore Wind Power Now So Expensive It Can’t Find Buyers
‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles all critically depend upon a raft of minerals known as ‘rare earths’, as well as mountains of copper and cobalt. With the exponential increase in demand for minerals comes an exponential growth in the mountains of toxic filth left behind during mining and processing those minerals. The minerals … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
