No civilised country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar; no country ever will. And yet the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ - being peddled by rent-seekers and crony capitalists - is still taken as an article of faith by the naïve and gullible. What is evident is the direct and unassailable relationship … Continue reading Why 100% Wind & Solar 100% Guarantees Blackouts and Rocketing Power Prices

Why Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Transition Will Inevitably Fail
Spoiler alert: the reason the wind and solar transition must fail is calm weather and sunset. So much, so simple and obvious. No country has ever powered itself entirely on wind and solar; no country ever will. Anyone telling you otherwise, is either a lunatic or they’re in on the greatest economic and environmental fraud, … Continue reading Why Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar Transition Will Inevitably Fail
Energy Insecurity: Biden’s Policies Leave Americans Vulnerable to Unreliable Wind & Solar
With the magnitude of the renewable energy-driven disaster playing out in Europe hard to ignore, it seems incredible that American Green New Deal Democrats remain fixated on chaotically intermittent wind and solar. And yet, they show no signs of relenting on their determined path to inevitable energy insecurity; an approach that borders on National treachery. … Continue reading Energy Insecurity: Biden’s Policies Leave Americans Vulnerable to Unreliable Wind & Solar
Jo Biden’s Anti-Fossil Fuel Policies Wrecking American Energy Independence
Not so long ago, the USA went from a net energy importer to exporter. Now, thanks to Joe Biden and his anti-fossil fuel Squad, it’s fast becoming a third-rate energy power. With the erratic and dithering Biden struggling to get a grip on reality in the midst of an energy crisis, Americans are watching their … Continue reading Jo Biden’s Anti-Fossil Fuel Policies Wrecking American Energy Independence
DIY Light & Power: Home Generator Sales Soar, Thanks to America’s Wind & Solar Rush
People want power whenever they need it, not when the wind is blowing just right or the sun’s at its zenith in a cloudless sky. Any country that has added any significant wind and/or solar capacity to its grid is suffering increasing grid instability, load shedding aka ‘demand management’ (aka planned blackouts/brownouts) and mass blackouts. … Continue reading DIY Light & Power: Home Generator Sales Soar, Thanks to America’s Wind & Solar Rush
Endless Resuscitation Required: Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Survive Without Massive Subsidies
As soon as the subsidies for wind and solar dry up, so does the investment in generating capacity, proving the point that neither wind nor solar can survive for very long without guaranteed, government-mandated support; whether in the form of Production Tax Credits, Renewable Energy Certificates or penalties and fines laid on retailers if they … Continue reading Endless Resuscitation Required: Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Survive Without Massive Subsidies
Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb
There’s nothing funny about being frozen to death in the dark. More than half of the 200 Texans who died during the mass blackouts that struck the midwest during February this year died of hypothermia, thanks to a lack of power. In all some 4.5 million households were left freezing in the dark when solar … Continue reading Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb
Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Energy Mirage: Or ‘How To Squander $Trillions of Taxpayers’ Money’
For an example of how unhinged the Democrat’s energy policy is, then Biden’s offshore wind energy plan takes the cake. The fact that offshore wind power has already proven to be a phenomenally expensive way of generating electricity clearly hasn’t registered. Nor has the fact that it’s no more reliable than wind power generated onshore, … Continue reading Joe Biden’s Offshore Wind Energy Mirage: Or ‘How To Squander $Trillions of Taxpayers’ Money’
Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
Base-load power means the stuff generated by coal, gas, nuclear and, where nature permits, hydro. Anyone claiming that wind or solar fit within that mix has never seen a sunset or experienced a burst of dead calm weather. And there’s the rub. Mass blackouts and power rationing in notionally wind and solar powered California during … Continue reading Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
Identifying the full value of subsidies to wind and solar, has been like a game of hide and seek. Whether it’s renewable energy certificates, production tax credits, preferential access to the power grid, over-the-market government guaranteed contracts, or the hidden costs of the cash penalties attached to government mandates and targets, the wind and solar … Continue reading Subsidy Siphons: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devouring $Billions of American Taxpayers’ Dollars
