20 years of subsidised wind and solar has caused retail power prices to double or even triple over that period. Attempting to duplicate a perfectly working power generation and distribution system with one that ‘works’, at best, 30% of the time (on average) and never works on calm nights - was always going to end … Continue reading Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar

Naturally Nuclear: Why Government Owned Nuclear Plants Make Perfect Sense
In a growing, energy-starved world nuclear power generation makes perfect sense, at every level. While carpet bagging, crony capitalists rant and rave against nuclear - in an effort to protect their investments in subsidised wind and solar - the rest of the world is moving towards nuclear as the natural energy source of the future, … Continue reading Naturally Nuclear: Why Government Owned Nuclear Plants Make Perfect Sense
Let’s Get Serious: Ever-Reliable Nuclear Crushes Hopelessly Intermittent Wind and Solar
Claiming wind and solar betters nuclear power for price and reliability is like turning up to a machine-gun fight with a butter knife. The delusional and courageous are getting slaughtered at every turn. After all, this is an existential fight for the carpet bagging, crony capitalists - who have done so very well out of … Continue reading Let’s Get Serious: Ever-Reliable Nuclear Crushes Hopelessly Intermittent Wind and Solar
Adults Take Charge: Critical Need For Reliable & Affordable Drives Nuclear Power Policy
Chaotic and only occasional wind and solar generation is what you get when infants run the show. Now in a ‘wait til your father gets home’ moment, governments of an adult bent are taking a firm grip on energy policy. Ditching the suicidal renewable energy targets and plumping for nuclear power, principally because it works. … Continue reading Adults Take Charge: Critical Need For Reliable & Affordable Drives Nuclear Power Policy
Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
As the wind and sun cult would have it, the days of ‘dirty fossil fuels’ are done. Never mind that without coal, oil and gas the manufacture and construction of wind turbines and solar panels would be thoroughly impossible. Moreover, without coal-fired power plants and/or gas and diesel backup plants, we’ll all be sitting boiling … Continue reading Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Talking about an energy transition on a dead calm, cloudy winter’s morning, when wind and solar output amounts to a doughnut, is positively delusional; claiming that wind and solar are the cheapest generation source of all (when wind and solar can’t be hundred any price) is utterly bonkers. The fact that the matter is (and … Continue reading How to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Add Costly & Chaotic Wind and Solar
Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Access to reliable and affordable power is just another thing Westerners have taken for granted, for far too long. A band of weather-obsessed ideologues have set about methodically destroying our once perfectly affordable and thoroughly reliable power supplies, by propounding the delusional notion that wind and solar can replace that well-designed system which has powered … Continue reading Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Planned Energy Armageddon: Net Zero CO2 Targets Designed by Delusional Maniacs
Setting targets about reducing the trivial amount of carbon oxide gas generated by humans is one thing, but asserting that wind and solar are the only way of doing so is positively bonkers. Assume for the moment that there is some point and purpose to net zero targets (a whopping assumption, for sure). Then the … Continue reading Planned Energy Armageddon: Net Zero CO2 Targets Designed by Delusional Maniacs
Political Power Shift: More Voters Refuse to Swallow Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Lie
Opening a crushing power bill while sitting freezing (or boiling) in the dark focuses attention on the obvious and only cause: heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar. Delivered according to the whims of mother nature rather than the demands of human industry, activity and endeavour, wind and solar power were never going to … Continue reading Political Power Shift: More Voters Refuse to Swallow Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Lie
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure
Once ideologues replaced engineers, reliable and affordable electricity supplies were doomed. It began 20 years ago, with massive subsidies for the occasional production of electricity using wind turbines and solar panels. There was no shortage of perfectly reliable electricity at the time. Back then, electricity was not only reliably delivered on demand, it was cheap. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Perfectly Engineered For Ultimate (Costly) Failure
