Anyone with the temerity to tip a bucket on the subsidised wind and solar scam is soon removed from the public square by Big Tech, their online personas “vaporized” and their writings relegated to the “memory hole”. George Orwell conjured up his nightmare world of malicious bureaucrats engaged in pernicious mind control in his novel, … Continue reading How Big Tech’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ Helps Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Silence Their Critics
Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor
Renewable energy rent-seekers come in all shapes and sizes, from mega windfarm outfits to well-to-do middle-class households. And in either instance, it pays never to stand between them and a bucket of someone else’s money. Any threat to the subsidy stream is met with howls about their ‘right’ to benefit from other people’s labours. You … Continue reading Taxpayer Subsidies For Rooftop Solar Designed to Allow The Rich to Rob The Poor
US Supreme Court Slams EPA’s Attempt to Wreck America’s Reliable & Affordable Power Supply
It appears as if adults are finally taking charge of energy policy, wresting it from the hands of boffins and bureaucrats determined to have us freezing or boiling in the dark. Germany has restarted its coal-fired power plants and looks unlikely to shut down its nuclear power plants as previously mandated; the French are determined … Continue reading US Supreme Court Slams EPA’s Attempt to Wreck America’s Reliable & Affordable Power Supply
Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
The renewable energy pit deepens, but there’s no indication the dolts in charge will ever stop digging. The, by now obvious, consequences of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes include another annual power price increase of over 20% this month and routine power rationing by postcode. In response, there’s a growing groundswell of hostility … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Continued Wind & Solar Obsession Defies All Logic & Reason
‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
The deluded few still promoting the total transition to wind and solar as ‘inevitable’ are being pounded by reality, on a daily basis. Dead calm weather is a thing; sunset is a thing. Both phenomena are inevitable, ergo, there is no way wind and solar can ever amount to meaningful power sources. Proponents have been … Continue reading ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter
The wind industry’s mass slaughter of birds and bats is well-known, but the avian carnage caused by solar really rates a mention. Notwithstanding efforts by the wind industry and its pet environmental consultants to conceal the scale of the havoc caused by 60m blades with their outer tips travelling at 350kph, anyone vaguely interested is … Continue reading Wind & Solar Wipe Out: New Study Reveals Grand Scale of ‘Green’ Energy Bird Slaughter
Storage Stories: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar Power’s Natural Intermittency
It only takes a moment’s reckoning to appreciate that the grid-scale storage electricity generated by wind or solar is a perfect nonsense. It hasn’t occurred anywhere in the world; nor will it. The combined capacity of all of the batteries on Earth would store a trivial 10 minute’s worth of the World’s electricity needs. The … Continue reading Storage Stories: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar Power’s Natural Intermittency
‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Australia’s politics is bereft of leadership and there’s no better example thereof than the failure to advance nuclear power in this country. Notwithstanding the unfolding power pricing and supply calamity - driven by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar - its new Labor Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, more Elmer Fudd than Bob Hawke, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief
Cheap Energy Surge: Asia’s Economic Miracle Driven By Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Between them, China and India have already dragged hundreds of millions out of abject poverty, thanks to cheap and reliable coal-fired power. There's no mystery to it; having electricity as and when households and businesses need it is central to an ordered, prosperous and civil society. Cheap power is at the heart of manufacturing and … Continue reading Cheap Energy Surge: Asia’s Economic Miracle Driven By Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Lights Out: South Africa’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers New Dark Age
Pin your energy hopes on the weather and you’d better have candles and torches at the ready. Reliable and affordable electricity supplies are the cornerstone of economic development, around the globe. And, whereas, until recently at least, the wealthy West has tended to take 24 x 365 power for granted, developing economies are not so … Continue reading Lights Out: South Africa’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers New Dark Age
