The obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has few winners and plenty of losers. The latter include the householders and businesses being crushed by power price increases of a magnitude that few of them can afford, and none of them expected (having been consistently lied to by the politicos and MSM … Continue reading War On Coal-Fired Power Delivers Crippling Power Prices & Record Profits For Generator/Retailers
Holiday Makers’ Lucky Escape After Wind Turbine Blade Disintegrates
The wind industry calls blade disintegration ‘component liberation’, survivors call it a terrifying dice with death. A few weeks back we reported on a wind turbine in a schoolyard near Petersburg, Illinois that decided to ‘go rogue’, unshackled its blades and sent school kids screaming in all directions. These things are also accomplished at throwing … Continue reading Holiday Makers’ Lucky Escape After Wind Turbine Blade Disintegrates
Energy Sanity Outbreak: Italy Joins Europe’s Burgeoning Nuclear Power Renaissance
The Finns are in, the French led the way (and they’re demanding more) and now the Italians have joined Europe’s nuclear power renaissance. Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni recently reversed her country’s legislated moratorium against the cleanest and most reliable form of power generation there is. Meloni’s move makes way for the reactivation of 3 … Continue reading Energy Sanity Outbreak: Italy Joins Europe’s Burgeoning Nuclear Power Renaissance
Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
The heroic attempt to increasingly rely on unreliable wind power ultimately reveals itself as suicidal. Driving reliable conventional generators off the grid and hoping that they will be replaced (in substance) by chaotically intermittent wind power comes with a grab bag of consequences. Rocketing power prices follow as night follows day; the result of incorporating … Continue reading Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’
Government-mandated subsidies for wind and solar represent the greatest wealth transfer since England’s ‘Bad’ King John sought to tax himself to ultimate power and his enemies out of existence. His description as “avaricious, miserly, extortionate and moneyminded” applies with equal force to today’s crony capitalist kings – the renewable energy rent seekers. Had King John known … Continue reading You Pay For The Rise and Riches of Wind & Solar’s Rent-seeking ‘Entrepreneurs’
Rising Australian Uranium Exports Proves Growing Demand For Nuclear Power
Markets don’t lie. The growth in demand for uranium is driven by the world’s growing demand for nuclear power. Australia holds the world’s largest uranium reserves and, despite its shifting policy of limiting the number of mines and states that have banned them, is the world’s third-largest uranium exporter. Happy to export it, but too dim to use it … Continue reading Rising Australian Uranium Exports Proves Growing Demand For Nuclear Power
Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
When Finland powered up its latest nuclear power plant in April wholesale power prices dropped 75%, almost overnight. The Olkiluoto 3 plant (above) is fully operational, generating 1,600 MW of electricity on demand (irrespective of the weather), and delivering 15% of the country’s power needs. Nuclear now provides around half of the country’s total electricity … Continue reading Wind & Solar Cult Can’t Mount Convincing Case Against Nuclear Power Generation
Destination Disaster: Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Mass Blackouts & Crippling Prices
Backing ideology over sound engineering was never the smartest ploy. Now the ideologues are in a flat panic as the public begins to realise that they’ve been lied to, all along. The ‘renewables are cheap’ story doesn’t seem to cut it anymore, with Australian households and businesses set for 25-30% increases in their power bills … Continue reading Destination Disaster: Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Guarantees Mass Blackouts & Crippling Prices
Climate Changing: Germany’s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts
Wind turbines were meant to improve the weather, now it seems these things are making it worse. Bear in mind the weather worriers are fretting about changes of a degree or two (apparently an increase of just 1.5°C means instant disaster and pumping it up by 2°C means an irreversible catastrophe). There is already plenty … Continue reading Climate Changing: Germany’s 30,000 Wind Turbines Causing Local Rainfall Droughts
Destined For Failure: Wind & Solar Transition Depends on (Impossible) Battery Storage Miracle
As 2023 slips by, it’s getting harder for wind and solar ‘industries’ to claim any other purpose than raking in massive subsidies. Europe’s wind and solar rollout is at a complete standstill; wind turbine manufacturers are laying off staff in droves and losing hundreds of millions of euros. The French are backing a massive increase … Continue reading Destined For Failure: Wind & Solar Transition Depends on (Impossible) Battery Storage Miracle
