Warren Buffett said: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Buffett might have continued, that subsidies are the only reason anyone invests in these things. Buffett might be an opportunistic profiteer, but at least … Continue reading Pointless Power: Without Massive & Endless Subsidies Wind Power Makes Absolutely No Sense

Gobsmacking Audacity: Wind & Solar Industries Demand $Billions in Handouts From COVID-19 Stimulus Package
America’s renewable energy rent seekers sought to snare $billions from Trump’s $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus and failed. Now they’re back with a vengeance, and hard at it again. The wind and solar ‘industries’ have always exhibited their very own gobsmacking version of audacity. But, with America facing an economic calamity of a magnitude not seen … Continue reading Gobsmacking Audacity: Wind & Solar Industries Demand $Billions in Handouts From COVID-19 Stimulus Package
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
Die Already: When Will the Wind and Solar ‘Industries’ Finally Collapse?
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are a pair that can’t survive without massive and endless subsidies, which means their days are numbered. Their ultimate demise is a matter of when, not if. The wind back in subsidies across Europe has all but destroyed the wind industry: in Germany this year a trifling 60 onshore wind turbines … Continue reading Die Already: When Will the Wind and Solar ‘Industries’ Finally Collapse?
Regressive Renewables: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Deliberately Designed to Destroy Wealth & Prosperity
Australia’s Renewable Energy Target reads like a National suicide note, but the land of Oz is no orphan in that regard. If the enemies of state were looking for insidious, all-pervasive policy perfectly designed to wreck an economy from within (while barely raising a murmur amongst the proles), they need look no further than ratcheting … Continue reading Regressive Renewables: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Deliberately Designed to Destroy Wealth & Prosperity
Following False Prophets: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Fossil Fuels
Sunset and calm weather mean wind and solar can and will never replace conventional power generators. By ‘conventional’ we mean coal, gas, nuclear and, where geography and geology permit, stored hydro and geothermal power. Show a picture like the one above - the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid during … Continue reading Following False Prophets: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Fossil Fuels
America Unleashed: Growing Rural Anger Sees More US States Ban New Wind Power Projects
Callously wrecking rural communities, it’s no wonder that big wind is struggling in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. While a few utterly deluded Democrats are keen to take Americans down the rabbit hole, with claims that an all wind and sun powered future is just a heartbeat away (for … Continue reading America Unleashed: Growing Rural Anger Sees More US States Ban New Wind Power Projects
Staggering Cost: Offshore Wind Power 25 Times More Expensive Than Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Wind power is utterly pointless on every level, having been abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons, starting with the weather. The oft heard retort from those fighting the prospect of wind turbines being speared into their backyards, is “why don’t they put them offshore?” These are the characters who are simply too gutless to … Continue reading Staggering Cost: Offshore Wind Power 25 Times More Expensive Than Coal, Gas & Nuclear
Scoundrel’s Paradise: Subsidised Wind & Solar The Greatest Scam on Earth
The only way of explaining the push for subsidised wind and solar is money. And when we say money, we mean hundreds of billions of dollars of other people’s money. In Australia alone, the Federal Government’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target will redirect over $60 billion in subsidies to wind and large-scale solar operators (all … Continue reading Scoundrel’s Paradise: Subsidised Wind & Solar The Greatest Scam on Earth
Never Economic, Never Competitive: Wind Industry Built on Lies & Runs on Subsidies
The wind industry has been firmly attached the subsidy teat for more than 30 years. Talk about being competitive with conventional generators is patent nonsense: cut the subsidies and this so-called ‘industry’ would disappear in a heartbeat. Whether it’s in Western Victoria, South Australia or in the midwest of the USA, wind power is always … Continue reading Never Economic, Never Competitive: Wind Industry Built on Lies & Runs on Subsidies
