The renewable energy cult reckons “coal is dead”, but the market says otherwise. Thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal coal prices recently hit $US$400 ($548 a tonne), with prices still on the rise. The crowd that tells us that we’re only a heartbeat away from an all wind … Continue reading Never Brighter: Energy Starved Economies Guarantee Endless Demand For Fossil Fuel
Forgive Them Not: No Excuse For Wind Industry’s Pointless Bird & Bat Slaughter
The utter pointlessness of the wind industry’s annual bird and bat slaughter is well-known to followers of this site. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value and when that purportedly ‘green’ power source slices and dices apex predators like salad onions, it’s hard to think of it as … Continue reading Forgive Them Not: No Excuse For Wind Industry’s Pointless Bird & Bat Slaughter
Solar Showdown: Indian Villagers Reject Greenpeace’s Useless Fake Electricity
The wind and solar obsessed in the first world are quite prepared to ensure the World's poorest stay that way. With economic development agencies peddling ridiculously expensive solar panels – seen as ‘fake electricity’ by those lumbered with it – and forcing tinpot governments to sign up to costly and pointless wind and/or solar power schemes, the … Continue reading Solar Showdown: Indian Villagers Reject Greenpeace’s Useless Fake Electricity
Endless Energy: Nuclear Provides Prospect of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Forever
Putin’s Ukrainian adventure has Europeans talking about nuclear power as if their existence depends on it. Threaten to deprive people of access to reliable and affordable energy and the love affair with wind and solar is soon forgotten. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to explain the relationship between total collapses in wind and solar … Continue reading Endless Energy: Nuclear Provides Prospect of Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Forever
No Net-Zero: China’s Rise Built On Insatiable Demand for Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
The economic and military rise of China is based on coal-fired power, and a firm rejection of the suicidal net-zero emissions targets adopted by their Western opponents. China’s love affair with coal and nuclear power continues to flourish and, contrary to Western myth, the CCP has turned on unreliable wind and solar, with a vengeance … Continue reading No Net-Zero: China’s Rise Built On Insatiable Demand for Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Prices Double: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Causes Runaway Power Prices
Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity is the product of policies deliberately designed to wreck reliable and affordable power supplies. Massive and seemingly endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar have done what they were designed to do: drive the owners of reliable coal-fired power generators to the wall, by allowing wind and solar … Continue reading Prices Double: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Causes Runaway Power Prices
Wrecking Ball: Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets Guarantee Economic Armageddon
Driven by climate alarmists and rent seekers ready to profit from the wind and solar subsidy scam, net zero carbon dioxide emissions targets are just the latest woke wheeze to grip our political betters. The idea that modern economies can function without the energy generated by fossil-fuels (whether consumed by motorcars or in power generation) … Continue reading Wrecking Ball: Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets Guarantee Economic Armageddon
EV Explosion: Get Ready For Toxic & Terrifying Lithium Battery Explosions
As more battery-powered Electric Vehicles hit the road, get ready for fiery explosions to become part of daily life. Lithium-Ion batteries are said to be the Planet’s saviour, but be sure you’re well clear when they explode into toxic fireballs that firefighters can’t extinguish, and which are simply left to burn themselves out. On the … Continue reading EV Explosion: Get Ready For Toxic & Terrifying Lithium Battery Explosions
Coal Hard Fact: Fossil Fuel The Central Foundation For Modern Human Civilisation
The miserable misanthropes and neo-Marxists reckon that fossil fuels are an evil to be driven back to the depths from whence they came. Except, of course, when it comes to their own selfish energy needs. Spend a week gathering dung and twigs to cook meals over a smoky fire in an unlit hut, and you’ll … Continue reading Coal Hard Fact: Fossil Fuel The Central Foundation For Modern Human Civilisation
Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Incapable of delivering power as and when we need it, wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources. But, as a source of insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources they are first rate. Wind turbines and solar panels devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Their insatiable mineral demand (and … Continue reading Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
