The massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar were deliberately designed to wreck coal-fired power generation - the cheapest and most reliable source of all - and that objective is well advanced in Australia. With the forced exit of another coal-fired generator the effect of a calm night (when the combined output of wind and … Continue reading Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices

Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Nuclear works: all day, every day, whatever the weather, no need for batteries and no need for back up. Whereas, wind and solar … well, you know the rest. Incapable of delivering power on demand, the only ‘benefit’ claimed by the wind and sun cult is that wind and solar power purportedly eliminate carbon dioxide … Continue reading Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
The wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you have power, as long as the subsidies keep rolling in. The path to penury - aka the ‘grand renewable energy transition’ - is dimly lit and the future, darker still. But, so it is, when you pin your entire energy hopes on the wind and … Continue reading Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
Weather Rules: Calm Nights Keep Killing Wild Wind & Solar Transition Claims
Talk a big game and you’d better be prepared to back it up. The wind and sun cult have been telling us that we’re well on our way to wind and solar powered future, for years now. But the prevalence of calm nights says otherwise. Over the last 6 months, the sun has been setting … Continue reading Weather Rules: Calm Nights Keep Killing Wild Wind & Solar Transition Claims
Retail Power Prices Reveal True & Crushing Costs of Subsidised Wind & Solar
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
Critical Energy: Europe’s Voters Reject Greens’ Pro-Wind & Solar/Anti-Human Policies
Human civilisation is all about harnessing energy. Which is why the so-called ‘Green’ is hell-bent on destroying the system that provides cheap and reliable energy - be it electricity, gas, coal or oil. And they especially hate nuclear power generation. They promote hopelessly unreliable wind and solar not because they want you to have power … Continue reading Critical Energy: Europe’s Voters Reject Greens’ Pro-Wind & Solar/Anti-Human Policies
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
Nuclear Catastrophe: Carpetbaggers Can’t Attract Wind & Solar Investors
For more than 20 years, wind and solar were the safest bet in town. The rapid embrace of nuclear power around the globe means that no one in their right mind will lay a nickel on wind and solar. Critically dependent upon subsidies, sunshine and weather, wind and solar have no hope of competing with … Continue reading Nuclear Catastrophe: Carpetbaggers Can’t Attract Wind & Solar Investors
Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rattled By New Nuclear Power Policy
The wind and sun cult’s infantile reaction to nuclear power demonstrates that it’s the generation source for grown-ups. But it’s not so much the reaction of the propagandists and cheer squad that matters, it’s the response from those profiting from the wind and solar scam that determines the political playing field from here on. Nothing … Continue reading Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Rattled By New Nuclear Power Policy
