The relationship between crushing power bills and increasing wind and solar capacity is crystal clear. Notwithstanding the persistent claims that the wind and sun are ‘free’. Maybe. But turning sunshine and breezes into meaningful electricity is a whole different (and very costly) exercise. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. And talk about wind … Continue reading Talk’s Cheap: Why Wind & Solar Guarantee Rocketing Power Bills
Freedom From Real Poverty Means Providing Real Electricity On Tap
The only characters who talk about wanting wind and solar in the poorest countries are those sitting smug in the richest countries. The world’s poorest just want power delivered when they need it and at a price they can afford. When pompous NGOs like Greenpeace attempted to set up a local solar power grid in … Continue reading Freedom From Real Poverty Means Providing Real Electricity On Tap
Grand Designs: Nuclear Saving the Environment From Wind & Solar’s Big Ugly
As the wind and solar industries destroy the scenery from coast to coast, wipeout pristine forests and flatten whole mountain ranges, there’s even more to be said for new-age nuclear. A nuclear plant that pumps out 1,000MW around-the-clock takes up an area no bigger than a city block. Whereas giant industrial wind turbines and endless … Continue reading Grand Designs: Nuclear Saving the Environment From Wind & Solar’s Big Ugly
Making a Small Fortune Investing in Wind & Solar Means Starting With A Large One
Buying shares in wind and solar manufacturers makes horseracing and cocaine habits look like canny investments. Big wind turbine makers like Vestas and Siemens have destroyed $billions worth of value for their shareholders, as input costs skyrocket and revenues crash, smashing share prices along the way. Steve Goreham is an analyst who has been watching … Continue reading Making a Small Fortune Investing in Wind & Solar Means Starting With A Large One
Shared Misery: Wind & Solar Transition Smashes Businesses and Families
As power prices rocket into orbit, thanks to an obsession with unreliable, subsidised wind and solar, businesses and households are finally waking up to the greatest economic and environmental fraud, of all time. Rural communities being treated as roadkill by industrial wind and solar outfits are furious; and every power consumer understand full well why … Continue reading Shared Misery: Wind & Solar Transition Smashes Businesses and Families
Calling Out Pure Bulls%$#: Time to Tackle Faux Green Ideology
Wealth and ignorance provide some explanation for our suicidal wind and solar obsessed energy ‘policies’. A group of smug, Tesla driving inner-city elites are quick to pontificate about every aspect of our economic lives. Berating us about the vehicles we drive, the homes we live in, what we eat and even how we cook our … Continue reading Calling Out Pure Bulls%$#: Time to Tackle Faux Green Ideology
Power Vacuum: Adding More Turbines Means Less Wind Power Output
When the wind isn’t knocking the stuffing out of these things (see above), it struggles to keep them spinning as more turbines get added to any given location. Known as ‘wake effects’, every wind turbine downwind from another receives less air and/or a less direct flow of air towards its blades, reducing efficiency and therefore … Continue reading Power Vacuum: Adding More Turbines Means Less Wind Power Output
Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Massive Subsidies and Even Bigger Lies
The wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies and run on subsidies. The electricity that the occasionally produce has no commercial value, simply because it can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it. And because their output can’t be controlled, producers get paid a fortune to produce nothing at all to prevent … Continue reading Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Massive Subsidies and Even Bigger Lies
Power Shock: Maine’s Power Users Being Smashed By Massive Solar Subsidy Cost
In a - they didn’t really think solar is free moment - power users in Maine are being belted with crushing power bills and told by the powers that be to expect much more of the same. Where numerous businesses are being driven to the wall, thousands of householders are being hit especially hard, with … Continue reading Power Shock: Maine’s Power Users Being Smashed By Massive Solar Subsidy Cost
Not Cheap: Offshore Wind Power 4 Times the Cost of Gas and Nuclear Power
New Yorkers are paying a huge price of offshore wind power, which is 4 times the cost of their conventional supplies from gas and nuclear. So much for all that loose talk about wind power being cheap, clean and green. As Willis Eschenbach points out below, for an industry that brags about cost, wind power … Continue reading Not Cheap: Offshore Wind Power 4 Times the Cost of Gas and Nuclear Power
