The dream of an all wind and sun powered future is more like a recurring nightmare: chaotically intermittent, critically dependent upon massive and endless subsidies and environmentally destructive, the idea that millions of giant industrial wind turbines and seas of solar panels will somehow benefit the planet beggars belief. In two detailed and well-crafted videos … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Why Promise Of All Wind & Sun Powered Future Is Complete Nonsense

Pipe Dreams: Quest for All Wind & Solar Powered World Like Searching For Unobtanium
It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that we’ll soon all be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. Cynics might suggest that there’s a pretty strong correlation between wishful thinking and endless subsidies to wind and solar. But, apart from rent seeking crony capitalists, there’s still a fair proportion out there who … Continue reading Pipe Dreams: Quest for All Wind & Solar Powered World Like Searching For Unobtanium
Keep It Simple Stupid: Why No Country Will Ever Be Powered By Wind & Solar Power Alone
Australia’s blackout capital, South Australia is what happens when hubris and ideology trumps sound engineering. After a run of mass blackouts, load shedding and a complete statewide blackout in September 2016, South Australia (Australia’s wind and solar capital) was forced to spend a fortune on diesel powered jet engines, open cycle gas turbines and, later, … Continue reading Keep It Simple Stupid: Why No Country Will Ever Be Powered By Wind & Solar Power Alone
Wrecking Ball: Democrat’s Deluded Wind & Solar Plan Would Destroy US Economy Overnight
Democrats are determined to deliver California’s renewable energy debacle to all and sundry.

In a ‘don’t say we told you so moment’, wind and solar obsessed California has just suffered another run of weather induced mass blackouts. Like clockwork, wind power output collapsed just as the summer heat and demand for electricity rose - leaving a million or more Californians sweltering in the dark. Anyone wondering what an … Continue reading System Down: California’s All Wind & Solar Dream Turns to Deadly Nightmare
Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Industry Keeps On Failing to Deliver the Goods
Over the last few months, the output from Australia’s wind power fleet has not only been erratic, it’s been utterly pathetic. Any other enterprise that delivered its goods on such a haphazard, sporadic and chaotic basis would be laughed out of town. But not the wind industry. No, instead, its inherent unreliability is being rewarded … Continue reading Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Industry Keeps On Failing to Deliver the Goods
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
Helplessly Hopeless: Australia’s Wind Industry Promises Big, But Never Delivers
It takes audacity to call yourself an ‘industry’ when you can’t say when you’ll deliver your product and its only ever delivered 30% of the time, at best. But that’s the business model upon which our wonderful wind powered future is predicated. Australia’s wind ‘industry’ is literally suffering a case of the doldrums, with its … Continue reading Helplessly Hopeless: Australia’s Wind Industry Promises Big, But Never Delivers
Dead Calm: Australia’s Wind ‘Industry’ Suffering From Prolonged Wind ‘Drought’
Australia’s wind industry has been suffering from the Big Calm - with dozens of occasions over the last month or so when the entire wind fleet’s battled to deliver more than a tiny fraction of its combined capacity. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Dead Calm: Australia’s Wind ‘Industry’ Suffering From Prolonged Wind ‘Drought’
California Dreamin’: Unreliable Wind & Solar Force Californians to Rely On Diesel Generators
Let renewable energy zealots and rent seekers anywhere near your power system and prepare for deadly chaos. Wind and solar ‘powered’ South Australians know what it is to do without power for days on end. Having experienced plenty of load shedding lasting for 5 hours or more, South Australians got a real taste of … Continue reading California Dreamin’: Unreliable Wind & Solar Force Californians to Rely On Diesel Generators
