https://youtu.be/ypA4XkmbNxk Once upon a time, environmentalists were known as ‘tree huggers’, these days the new ‘green’ cult can’t destroy them fast enough. In the Scottish Highlands, so far, they’ve wiped out over 14 million trees, spread over more than 17,000 acres to clear the way for thousands of these industrial monstrosities; and, no, they don’t replant … Continue reading Habitual Habitat Destruction: Wind Industry Wiping Out Vast Tracts of Virgin Rainforest
Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
Every wind turbine, solar panel and lithium battery is the product of scarce resources, and not just the rare stuff mined by 9-year-olds in the Congo. Claims about a ‘green’ Utopia never touch on the volume of mineral and other resources required to get there. Nor do the West’s great virtue signallers pay much lip … Continue reading Virtue’s Toll: Grand ‘Green’ Transition Delivers Horrific Human Rights Abuses
Dazed & Confused: 5 Things About the ‘Inevitable Energy Transition’ That Make No Sense
Confused about the grand wind and solar ‘transition’? It’s a sensation experienced by any rational thinker. None of what’s put forward makes even the vaguest sense, once the critical faculties are applied. Jude Clemente selects 5 subjects as a subset and does just that in the piece below. 5 Things I Truly Don’t Understand About … Continue reading Dazed & Confused: 5 Things About the ‘Inevitable Energy Transition’ That Make No Sense
‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
There is a cult that holds an unshakeable belief that wind and solar has already defeated coal, oil and gas. Not that there is any real contest. Indeed, without the hydrocarbons there would be no solar panels or wind turbines. Moreover, were we ever to attempt to rely on wind and solar power generation alone, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
The hundreds of $billions paid in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar constitute the largest wealth transfer in economic history - from unwitting power consumers and taxpayers to a cabal of rent-seeking crony capitalists. Greed and avarice drives them, aided and abetted by government mandates, diktats and decrees. Built on lies and running on subsidies, … Continue reading Grand Theft: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Squanders $Trillions in Taxpayers’ Cash
High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
Solar panels are not the most robust of power generation sources. A blanket of snow and ice readily kills their occasional, sunshine-dependent output. They tend not to appreciate gale-force winds (see above) and hailstones of any substance are usually fatal (see below). A few weeks ago, STT reported on a burst of hot weather in … Continue reading High Winds & Hailstones Destroy Solar Panels/Hot Weather Destroys Their Output
Cash Inferno: Offshore Wind Power Fastest Way to Squander Countless $Billions
In the absence of endless subsidies and guaranteed, fixed-price contracts (set at ludicrously high prices), the purported economic case for wind power never, ever stacks up. And the metrics are far worse out at sea. Notwithstanding the $billions in subsidies - gouged from taxpayers and/or lumped on power consumers’ crushing power bills - proposed projects … Continue reading Cash Inferno: Offshore Wind Power Fastest Way to Squander Countless $Billions
Biden’s Impossible Dream: US Wind & Solar Energy ‘Transition’ Pure Fantasy
Believe the MSM, and you’d think that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ is a race that’s already won. Peel the onion back, however, and you’ll find a very different picture, indeed. The wilder claims from rent-seekers the louder the cheers of witless approval from the stands. At present, the USA and Australia are running … Continue reading Biden’s Impossible Dream: US Wind & Solar Energy ‘Transition’ Pure Fantasy
Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
The wind and sun cult never admit it, but if it weren’t for coal-fired power Australia’s grid would have collapsed, long ago. Chugging away for the best part of a century, Australia’s coal-fired plants continue to provide power reliably, on demand, whatever the weather. No need for batteries, no need for back up. And, as … Continue reading Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
Democratic civil societies were built on having access to energy as and when their citizens need it. Which tends to suggest that the grand wind and solar transition is as uncivilised and undemocratic as it gets. The idea of consumers demanding a commodity with benefits and paying for those benefits in return is pretty much … Continue reading ‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
