Placing industrial wind turbines in schoolyards is hardly the brightest move, given their habit of throwing blades in all directions and collapsing without warning. They've also been known to throw massive chunks of ice through roofs and windows - which is what happened at a Massachusetts Community College back in 2018 - luckily no one … Continue reading Danger Zone: School Kids Run For Cover As Wind Turbine Spins Out-of-Control & Collapses
Damned By Their Silence: What Happened to the Grid Engineers Who Fought For Reliable Power?
Engineers built reliable and affordable power supplies; ideologues obsessed with intermittent wind and solar are rapidly dismantling them. Why engineers allowed that to happen is something of a mystery. Sure, renewable energy rent-seekers have exploited opportunities created around ‘saving the planet’ by purportedly ridding it of man-made carbon dioxide gas by using wind turbines and … Continue reading Damned By Their Silence: What Happened to the Grid Engineers Who Fought For Reliable Power?
Nuclear Energy Should Be Promoted Simply Because It’s Safe, Reliable & Affordable
Renewables driven power pricing and supply calamities have led to the dreaded ‘N’ word being uttered in public. Nuclear power is back in vogue and attracting plenty of attention, some of it for all the right reasons. While climate alarmists keep banging on about carbon dioxide gas (and politicians keep listening) any power source that … Continue reading Nuclear Energy Should Be Promoted Simply Because It’s Safe, Reliable & Affordable
Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
To call Australia’s wind power output “pathetic” is to flatter it. Turbines with a total capacity of 10,277 MW are spread from Far North Queensland, across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia - and all connected to the Eastern Grid. On rare occasions, the combined output reaches around 60% of their total notional … Continue reading Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment
Poland’s abundant coal-fired power is often the only thing keeping Germany’s lights on when ‘dunkelflaute’ - gloomy, windless weather - strikes. The ever-pragmatic Poles are likely to keep their coal-fired plants running for generations to come. But, keen to reduce dependence on Russian oil and gas, Poland is developing a plan to build new-generation nuclear … Continue reading Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment
Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
As wind and solar capacity increases, it becomes increasingly evident they are hopelessly incapable of delivering power as and when we need it. Back in January 2021, Germany shut down 11 coal-fired power plants (with a total capacity of 4.7 GW). That shutdown lasted eight days, with most of the plants up and running by … Continue reading Doomed to Inevitable Failure: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built On Subsidies & Bullshit
Making ‘Green’ Hydrogen From Part-Time Wind and Solar = Mission Impossible
The only ‘value’ in weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar comes from the subsidies they attract. There is, of course, no commercial value in an energy source that cannot be delivered as and when consumers need it. In plenty of places around the globe, the subsidies are on the wane. But renewable energy rent-seekers reckon they’re … Continue reading Making ‘Green’ Hydrogen From Part-Time Wind and Solar = Mission Impossible
Serious Energy: Coal, Oil & Gas Deliver Warmth, Light & Power All Day, Every Day
Coal, oil and gas, are truly modernising forces, lifting billions out of agrarian poverty - powering machines and driving industrialization. People called on fossil fuels, when they should be called hydrocarbon heroes. Access to reliable electricity provide an escape route for the impoverished, and hope for a less miserable future. Watch villagers in the Third … Continue reading Serious Energy: Coal, Oil & Gas Deliver Warmth, Light & Power All Day, Every Day
Man Without A Plan: Joe Biden’s Energy Policy is Utterly Incoherent and Totally Destructive
America’s energy policy has been captured by the same class of ideologues and rent seekers, that have destroyed reliable and affordable power supplies in Europe, Australia and elsewhere. So, it’s probably not entirely fair to attribute the blame to the bumbling Joe Biden. Struggling with signs of senile dementia, on occasions, Biden gives the appearance … Continue reading Man Without A Plan: Joe Biden’s Energy Policy is Utterly Incoherent and Totally Destructive
World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
The hackneyed claim that wind and solar power are ‘clean’ and ‘green’ doesn’t stand first contact with reality. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent - after a decade or so … Continue reading World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
