The truly deluded reckon that by adding a few giant lithium-ion batteries we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Those that (often grudgingly) concede wind and solar’s weather-driven (ie perfectly natural) unreliability, claim that storing wind and solar power when the sun’s up and the wind is blowing, just right, and releasing … Continue reading Empty Promise: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Fix Wind & Solar’s Natural Unreliability

Snow Job: Busting The Myth That Solar Panels Plus Battery Storage Can Power the World
The claim that solar panels plus a few mega-batteries can power the entire world represents one of the ‘green’ energy cult’s sillier moments. And there are plenty to choose from, to be sure. Powering a domestic house with solar panels and batteries is possible, but costly. Especially if the batteries are lithium-ion numbers, the kind … Continue reading Snow Job: Busting The Myth That Solar Panels Plus Battery Storage Can Power the World
Total Bunkum: Why Running On 100% Wind & Solar Is 100% Impossible
No country in the world is running on wind and solar power alone; no country ever will. Calm weather and sunset guarantee it. Every routine collapse in wind and solar power output (for the reasons above) requires the total capacity lost in consequence to come from somewhere, and that ‘somewhere’ is going to be a … Continue reading Total Bunkum: Why Running On 100% Wind & Solar Is 100% Impossible
Clown Factor: Trying to Explain Our Idiotic and Self-Destructive Wind & Solar Obsession
Remember the class clown? The idiot who couldn’t help himself, always in trouble and too witless to know why. Well, he’s now firmly in charge of energy policy, which in its design and implementation resembles the chaos of a mismanaged three-ringed circus. As the adage goes, don’t put down to conspiracy what can be chalked … Continue reading Clown Factor: Trying to Explain Our Idiotic and Self-Destructive Wind & Solar Obsession
Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
Zealots tout Germany as the benchmark for the ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar, but its energy system is a complete debacle; power rationing is the new normal and prices are through the roof. Indeed, any country that got serious about subsidising wind and solar is finding itself in serious trouble. Disastrous examples such as … Continue reading Grand ‘Renewables’ Delusion: Hard Reality Keeps Smashing Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth
Never Sustainable: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Just Another Failed Utopian Dream
The wind and solar ‘transition’ is being sold as Utopia - but anyone prepared to believe that will believe anything. In Germany and Britain, a growing number are starting to work it out. They’ve been lied to; they’re angry and there will be a political vengeance against those who have delivered misery of a type … Continue reading Never Sustainable: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Just Another Failed Utopian Dream
Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Once the engineers were banished and the bureaucrats took charge, the fate of reliable and affordable energy supplies was sealed. Trashing coal-fired power plants, demonising nuclear power and squandering untold $billions on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar would have never happened if the engineers were left alone to run the show. The results are difficult … Continue reading Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Grid-Scale Power Storage Myth Busted: Giant Batteries Can’t Save Unreliable Wind & Solar
It only takes a moment’s reckoning to appreciate that the grid-scale storage electricity generated by wind or solar is a perfect nonsense. Those profiting from hopelessly intermittent wind and solar still claim that mega-batteries are the solution to their obvious lack of reliability. Others point to pumped hydro and even ridiculously claim that “excess” wind … Continue reading Grid-Scale Power Storage Myth Busted: Giant Batteries Can’t Save Unreliable Wind & Solar
All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
Calm weather and sunset mean that wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. And mythical grid-scale electricity storage won’t save them, either. Never to be defeated by facts, reason and logic, wind and solar acolytes are quick to point to a rare occasion when their combined output is equal to, or greater … Continue reading All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
The deluded few still promoting the total transition to wind and solar as ‘inevitable’ are being pounded by reality, on a daily basis. Dead calm weather is a thing; sunset is a thing. Both phenomena are inevitable, ergo, there is no way wind and solar can ever amount to meaningful power sources. Proponents have been … Continue reading ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition’s Inevitable Collision Course With Reality
