The relationship between rocketing power prices and chaotically intermittent wind and solar is crystal clear. Let’s call it Germany, Denmark and South Australia, where wind and solar obsessions have driven power prices into orbit. While RE zealots continue to chant the mantra that wind and solar are practically free, and getting cheaper all the time, … Continue reading On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices

Rigged & Rotten: How Power Market Rules Were Bent to Benefit Intermittent Wind & Solar
Electricity that is not available as and when consumers need it has no natural commercial value. An ICU patient on life support isn’t interested in whether the weather is going to keep her alive. For that reason, chaotically delivered wind and solar just don’t add up. The only thing that adds up are massive (and … Continue reading Rigged & Rotten: How Power Market Rules Were Bent to Benefit Intermittent Wind & Solar
‘Green’ Magic: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ The Greatest Con Job in History
Sunset and calm weather mean that wind and solar will never be meaningful power sources. Talk about ‘storage’ overcoming their chaotic intermittency, is just that: talk. The sum total of the world’s grid scale storage capacity for electricity is risible. The biggest single battery in the world, sits in a sheep paddock in South Australia’s … Continue reading ‘Green’ Magic: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ The Greatest Con Job in History
Own Goal: Michael Moore Documentary Tackles Dark Side of Wind & Solar
Renewable energy zealots must hit the panic button when someone from their own team calls the wind and solar ‘industries’ rotten to the core. The hard green-left and so-called “progressives” take as an article of faith that those among them will worship wind and solar until kingdom come. So, when one of their own starts … Continue reading Own Goal: Michael Moore Documentary Tackles Dark Side of Wind & Solar
With Wind & Solar’s Days Over, Who Cleans Up Europe’s Renewable Energy Mess?
Across Europe, investment in new wind and solar is in freefall. So far this year, the Germans installed a measly 35 of these things onshore. As their massive subsidies get cut and furious rural residents revolt, the wind and solar industries are facing their inevitable Armageddon. The inevitable surge in power prices and grid chaos … Continue reading With Wind & Solar’s Days Over, Who Cleans Up Europe’s Renewable Energy Mess?
Lights Out: Millions of Brits Come to Grips With Wind ‘Powered’ Future – In the Dark!!
Pinning your power needs on the weather? Then expect mixed results. South Australians living in Australia’s wind power blackout capital, know the drill, well-enough. And now their cousins in the UK have had a taste of what it is to be suddenly living in the Dark Ages, after a sudden output collapse at an … Continue reading Lights Out: Millions of Brits Come to Grips With Wind ‘Powered’ Future – In the Dark!!
Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Squandering other people’s money is what the wind and solar industries do best. Let’s face it, they wouldn’t exist without massive and endless subsidies. The chaotic power they occasionally produce has no commercial value and as Warren Buffett put it “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the … Continue reading Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
100% Ruinable: Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal Would Cost Americans $4.5 Trillion
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ heralds a new Dark Ages nightmare. Although, in fairness to the original pixie dream girl, the notion that the world’s leading energy consumer can operate entirely on sunshine and breezes is an utter fantasy. Ocasio-Cortez and her clueless acolytes run the line that because the sun and wind are … Continue reading 100% Ruinable: Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal Would Cost Americans $4.5 Trillion
Half-Baked Hoax: Claims For All Wind & Solar Powered Future Are Pure Fantasy
No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar. No country ever will. The image above is not the crazed doodlings of a maniac, it’s the combined output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid last month thanks to Aneroid Energy. Note the numerous occasions when output plummets by 2-3,000MW in minutes, … Continue reading Half-Baked Hoax: Claims For All Wind & Solar Powered Future Are Pure Fantasy
WSJ Dares to Doubt: What if Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Aren’t ‘Inevitable’, After All?
When the Wall Street Journal starts to question the inevitability of our ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future, you know the gig is up. Until now, the WSJ has been a champion for the wind and solar ‘industries’ in the US. Playing to the myth that the wind and sun are ‘free’, … Continue reading WSJ Dares to Doubt: What if Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Aren’t ‘Inevitable’, After All?
