It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that the world can run on sunshine and breezes. For wind and sun worshippers, disastrous examples like South Australia - where mass blackouts and load shedding have become the new normal - require not just practiced delusion but a form of self-flagellating stoicism, as well. Oh, … Continue reading Renewable Energy’s Dirty Dozen: 12 Reasons Why Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Make No Sense

Wind & Solar’s Mega-Cost Delivers Mega-Failure: RE Supplying Less than 1% During Peak Demand
If you live in Australia, and you’re reading this post, you’re doing so thanks to coal. If you don’t like it, shut your device down now. The electricity that's powering it, your home, the internet, etc, etc isn’t coming from sunshine and breezes. It's coming from a coal-fired power plant. So, deal with it! Over … Continue reading Wind & Solar’s Mega-Cost Delivers Mega-Failure: RE Supplying Less than 1% During Peak Demand
Wind & Solar Fantasy Unplugged: 100% RE Means Total Economic Destruction
There’s something almost comical when RE zealots try to outdo each other. Those that worship wind and solar are deluded, to be sure. However, those claiming that nature’s wonder fuels can deliver 100% of our power needs are truly ‘touched’. At a physical level it is, of course, possible. But building TWhs worth of pumped … Continue reading Wind & Solar Fantasy Unplugged: 100% RE Means Total Economic Destruction
The BIG Lie: Energy Boffin’s Claims Australia Can Go 100% Renewable = 100% Fantasy
Renewable energy zealots talk about the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future being ‘inevitable’. Except that the only thing inevitable about running on sunshine and breezes, is grid chaos and rocketing power prices. And the reason for that can be all spelt out in a picture: see above the collective output of … Continue reading The BIG Lie: Energy Boffin’s Claims Australia Can Go 100% Renewable = 100% Fantasy
Delusion & Fantasy Drives RE Advocates’ Bizarre Claims of All-Wind & Solar Powered Future
Anyone pumping wind and solar in 2018 is rightly regarded as a little ‘touched’, but those still suggesting an all wind and sun powered future are positively ‘certifiable’. Millions of solar panels have been strewn around the planet; and hundreds of thousands of wind turbines have been speared in every corner of both hemispheres. And … Continue reading Delusion & Fantasy Drives RE Advocates’ Bizarre Claims of All-Wind & Solar Powered Future
‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades Destined for African Landfills
Environmentalists of the kind lovingly called ‘tree huggers’ (rather than wind turbine worshippers) are finally cottoning on to the fact that the wind industry is anything but the ‘clean, green’ energy source its proponents claim it to be. Real eco-warriors aren’t happy to bury inconvenient wind industry facts, instead, they’re furious at the fact that … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades Destined for African Landfills
Chaos Reigns Supreme: Erratic Wind and Solar Destroy Australia’s Once Reliable Power Grid
The natural result of plugging into wind and solar power is absolute chaos. It’s like inviting the Hells Angels to your daughter’s 21st birthday party and not expecting mayhem. Those that kid themselves otherwise, fall into roughly 2 camps: dreamy, eco-zealots, happy to ignore everything the real world throws at them (especially facts antithetical … Continue reading Chaos Reigns Supreme: Erratic Wind and Solar Destroy Australia’s Once Reliable Power Grid
Out to Wreck Your Economy & Punish the Poor & Vulnerable? Try Intermittent Wind & Solar
A generation or so back, the ‘green’ was a well-meaning tree-hugger. Then along came CO2 gas which resulted in a new shade of ‘green’. Gone was any vestige of human empathy, let alone compassion, both replaced by a maniacal belief that humans are literally ‘cockroaches’, devouring planet Earth. Instead of hoping to improve the environment … Continue reading Out to Wreck Your Economy & Punish the Poor & Vulnerable? Try Intermittent Wind & Solar
Economic Fantasy: Battery ‘Solution’ to Intermittent Wind & Solar Would Cost $Trillions
It took the proletariat a nanosecond to work out that wind power cannot, and will never, work as a meaningful power generation source. Graphs like the one above - depicting the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (spread across four states, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia) - quickly gave … Continue reading Economic Fantasy: Battery ‘Solution’ to Intermittent Wind & Solar Would Cost $Trillions
Where Do We Get Most Of Our Energy (Hint: Not Risible Renewables)
Notwithstanding the hundreds of $billions in subsidies thrown at wind and solar power, their combined contribution to world energy demand remains risible. Present the hard numbers and talk about the unstoppable ‘rise of renewables’ (if limited to wind and solar power) sounds more deluded, by the day. Pumped up lines about our 'inevitable transition' to … Continue reading Where Do We Get Most Of Our Energy (Hint: Not Risible Renewables)
