‘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

Utterly Useless: Wind & Solar Costly, Pointless & Can’t Reduce CO2 Emissions

No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar; no country ever will. The idea we'll all be powered exclusively by wind and solar is pure fantasy and talk about giant batteries soon making that pipe dream possible is just as unhinged. The occasional claim that wind and solar satisfied 100% of power … Continue reading Utterly Useless: Wind & Solar Costly, Pointless & Can’t Reduce CO2 Emissions

Terminal Power Policy: California’s Wind & Solar Crusade Destined for Epic Failure

Those claiming that we’ll soon be exclusively powered by wind and solar clearly failed arithmetic. To keep an electricity grid functioning requires a precise volume of power to be generated and transmitted that precisely matches the volume of power consumed, over time and at all times. Sunset and/or calm weather have the, rather obvious, effect … Continue reading Terminal Power Policy: California’s Wind & Solar Crusade Destined for Epic Failure

Dreamer’s Disease: No Way On Earth That Wind & Solar Can Provide 100% of Our Energy Needs

In their wilder moments, the wind and solar acolyte proclaims that an all-wind and sun-powered future is upon us.  Never mind sunset; never mind dead calm weather; and never mind the fact that the idea that giant lithium-ion batteries economically storing wind and solar power at grid-scale is pure hokum - for the dreamer, the … Continue reading Dreamer’s Disease: No Way On Earth That Wind & Solar Can Provide 100% of Our Energy Needs

Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy

It only takes a moment's consideration to understand why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. Sunset is a daily phenomenon and repeated bouts of extended calm weather occur with remarkable regularity. While there’s plenty of lip service paid to the ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition, the reality bites every day. Always clear … Continue reading Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy

Why Wind & Solar Are Pointless: ‘Renewables Will Power Us’ Myth, Smashed Again

  It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. But that’s the premise advanced by wind and sun worshippers and the rent seekers that profit from the greatest subsidy scam in human history. Putting aside their chaotic intermittency, the staggering amount … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Pointless: ‘Renewables Will Power Us’ Myth, Smashed Again

Renewable Energy Rip-Off: Paying Premium Prices For Wind Power & Getting Fossil-Fuelled Power In Return

Subsidised wind and solar is a monumental rip-off from start to finish - ‘wholesale fraud’ just about covers it, whenever power companies charge whopping premiums for what they claim is ‘green’ energy, when in fact the customer is getting electrons generated by coal, gas or nuclear power plants. Whatever the marketing pitch, there are going … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rip-Off: Paying Premium Prices For Wind Power & Getting Fossil-Fuelled Power In Return

Truly Creative Marketing: Made With 100% Renewables Claims = 100% Pure Bunkum

Any business claiming its products are made with 100% wind and/or solar power is engaged in truly ‘creative marketing’, aka old-fashioned ‘fraud’. For a start, the sun sets like clockwork and calm weather sets in, every other day. Then there’s the fact that - for every MW of wind or solar - there is a … Continue reading Truly Creative Marketing: Made With 100% Renewables Claims = 100% Pure Bunkum
