RE zealots claim Hawaii is well on its way to getting 100% of its power from the wind and sun. In truth, it’s fossil fuels (bunker oil) that’s powering the Pacific islands, whereas wind and solar deliver a trifling 7%. Notwithstanding the hundreds of $millions in subsidies thrown at an ‘industry’ that remains more … Continue reading Another All-Renewables Hoax Busted: Wind ‘Powered’ Hawaii Really Runs On Fossil Fuels

Barking Mad: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Grand ‘Green’ Delusions
Renewables zealots tout Germany as the benchmark for the ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar, but its energy system is a complete debacle. Germany’s so-called Energiewende (energy transition) has turned into a power pricing and supply calamity. Which was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Germany’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar … Continue reading Barking Mad: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Built on Grand ‘Green’ Delusions
Welcome to Crazytown: The Dangerous Delusion That Wind & Solar Can Power Us
When energy policy sounds like something from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass it’s because lunatics have overrun of the asylum. Sure, those with skin in the game will say and do anything that needs to be said and done to profit from the most obscene subsidy rort in history. But, their licence to operate … Continue reading Welcome to Crazytown: The Dangerous Delusion That Wind & Solar Can Power Us
Fact Check: Debunking Claims That Britain Is 100% Wind Powered (Try Gas, Nuclear, Coal & Woodchips)
It only takes a couple of windy days and the loons start heralding the end of coal-fired power. But, of course, when calm weather inevitably sets in, the same lunatics run silent until the next gale hits. A bit like the gambler who tells you all about his wins, but never about his losses. Following … Continue reading Fact Check: Debunking Claims That Britain Is 100% Wind Powered (Try Gas, Nuclear, Coal & Woodchips)
Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return
Sunset and calm weather have been with us since the dawn of time; wind and solar power have existed for barely a generation, and only as a result of massive subsidies. The notion that modern economies can operate around the vagaries of the weather and time of day is, of course, patent nonsense. The factory … Continue reading Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return
Keepin’ It Real: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
There might be a substitute to coal, gas and nuclear power out there somewhere. But it isn’t chaotically intermittent wind and solar, whether with or without mythical mega-batteries. Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans has done a couple of things. First, it’s sent the crony capitalists profiteering from subsidised renewable energy into a tailspin and … Continue reading Keepin’ It Real: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
Wind power is the joke where the punchline is a mixture of rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. None of which is particularly funny for those suffering from one and threatened by the other. As to the latter, this country’s maniacal obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and … Continue reading Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
‘Green’ Delusions: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
It takes a special brand of delusion to still believe that chaotically intermittent wind and solar can replace conventional generators, such as coal, gas and nuclear plants. But they’re still out there. Indeed, some of them hold high, elected office. Or once did. Maths, physics, economics and meteorology are not difficult disciplines. But mastery thereof … Continue reading ‘Green’ Delusions: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
Fossil Fuelled Future: How On Earth Do They Expect Wind & Sunbeams To Power Us?
In their sillier moments, renewable energy zealots pontificate about the end of fossil fuels, to be inevitably replaced by wind and solar (albeit, these days with the addition of $trillions worth of mythical mega-batteries). No country has ever powered itself on wind and solar alone; no country ever will. Instead, modern economies will continue to … Continue reading Fossil Fuelled Future: How On Earth Do They Expect Wind & Sunbeams To Power Us?
‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, it’s probably time to listen. When we posted this story – Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’ – in February last year, listen they did – that post went viral with over 45,000 hits. Where … Continue reading ‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
