No Contest: Wind Power Can’t Compete With Coal-Fired Power On Cost, Or At All
The well-chewed ‘chestnut, about wind power being cheaper than coal or gas-fired power is a nonsense. Then there's the fiction that wind power is actually ‘competing’ with conventional generation sources. ‘Competition’, in the wind industry’s eyes, is a pretty fluid concept: for most of life’s endeavours, it means a head-to-head race between all competitors, starting at … Continue reading No Contest: Wind Power Can’t Compete With Coal-Fired Power On Cost, Or At All

As South Australians found out on 28 September 2016 - when the whole State went black, … Continue reading Dead End Power Trip: Land Hungry Wind Power Always a Problem & Never a Solution
