Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie: Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices And, with a looming capacity crunch, Germans will be lucky to have power at all, at any … Continue reading If Wind & Solar Are So Cheap, Why Are Germans Paying World’s Highest Power Prices?

Are Friends Electric: Push for Industrial Electrification Exposes Costly Futility of Intermittent Wind & Solar
In their sillier moments, wind and solar advocates claim that we’ll all soon be driving electric vehicles, lovingly recharged with sunshine and breezes. In Australia, those seemingly virtuous souls with EVs are really being propelled by coal, because 85% of the electricity passing through its Eastern grid comes from coal-fired plants. It's an irony, to … Continue reading Are Friends Electric: Push for Industrial Electrification Exposes Costly Futility of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar means not only spiralling retail power prices, but guarantees widespread load shedding (aka “demand management”) and blackouts (‘demand mismanagement’), whenever demand peaks and wind and solar output collapses around sunset and calm weather. The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And … Continue reading Dangerous Fantasy: Sierra Club’s 100% Wind & Solar Push Threatens US Power Supply
Risible Renewables: World Finally Waking Up To Wind & Solar’s Nightmare of Nonsense
It’s 2020 and, if you believe the hype, we’re well on our way to an all wind and sun powered future. Except that - notwithstanding $trillions in subsidies, punitive mandates and punishing targets - the contribution of wind and solar to world energy demand remains risible. And - not simply because it’s fun to rain … Continue reading Risible Renewables: World Finally Waking Up To Wind & Solar’s Nightmare of Nonsense
No Deal: New ‘Green’ Deal Means Return to the Impoverished Dark Ages
There’s something amusing about watching well-fed, first world teenagers hit the streets to rail about fossil fuels, just before mummy collects them in a stonking V8 Land Cruiser, whisking them away to their perfectly air-conditioned homes, jampacked with every electronic gadget, imaginable. The louder and more earnest their demands for an end to the use … Continue reading No Deal: New ‘Green’ Deal Means Return to the Impoverished Dark Ages
Texan Turmoil: True & Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Kept Hidden From Power Consumers
The hidden cost of attempting to rely upon sunshine and breezes is truly staggering, ask a German, Dane or South Australian about the power prices they suffer. They’re the world’s highest, by the way. And all three of them compete for bragging rights about which of them has the greatest proportion of renewables in the … Continue reading Texan Turmoil: True & Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Kept Hidden From Power Consumers
Renewable Wreckage: Texas Town’s Push for 100% Wind & Solar Sends Prices Into Orbit
The wind may be free and the sun, when it’s shining, doesn’t cost a penny. But wind and solar literally cost the earth. Put aside the wholesale slaughter of birds, bugs and bats; the destruction of idyllic landscapes and once bustling communities, with residents driven out of their homes by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise … Continue reading Renewable Wreckage: Texas Town’s Push for 100% Wind & Solar Sends Prices Into Orbit
Ripping Yarns: Wind & Sun Can’t Power the World: Never Have & Never Will
You know we’ve reached peak stupid when adults line up to be lectured by troubled teenage girls on energy and world economics. Greta the Fretter and the lunatics gluing themselves to roads under the banner of the Extinction Rebellion have made the work of the sane and rational so much easier. For a decade or … Continue reading Ripping Yarns: Wind & Sun Can’t Power the World: Never Have & Never Will
The Power Hunger Games: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Power the Planet
The prospect of a 100% renewable energy future is 100% pure, unadulterated myth. Placard waving teens fretting about the weather in 30 years’ time might demand it, but logic, physics, meteorology and economics will forever conspire against an all wind and sun powered future. And the idea that a transition to wind and solar is … Continue reading The Power Hunger Games: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Power the Planet
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Let’s Not Make A New ‘Green’ Deal
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Green-left’s favourite flibbertigibbet. Her New Green Deal, with its promise of 100% wind and solar delivering power for all, for free and for all time, should have been dismissed as fairytale nonsense, long ago. However, there are plenty of pixie dream girls and boys happy to suck it up, like there’s … Continue reading Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Let’s Not Make A New ‘Green’ Deal
