The wind and solar ‘transition’ has nothing to do with providing reliable and affordable power. It’s a wealth transfer from power consumers and taxpayers to rent seekers - driven by ideologues and enabled by politicos who wouldn’t know a kilowatt from their elbow. Australia’s Eastern Grid is a heartbeat away from total collapse. Once upon … Continue reading Want Perpetual Chaos & Grinding Energy Poverty: Dial Up Subsidised Wind & Solar

Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
As the sun sets on a calm afternoon, talk about a ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds delusional, because it is. The cult is driven by that very delusion, however. But those who have been dragged along for the ride are finally waking up to the fact that first world economies can’t run on sunshine and … Continue reading Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Mean Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Hope
No Country Powers Itself Entirely With Wind & Solar; No Country Ever Will
Language matters. Orwell knew it, so does your local Ministry of Truth. Wind and solar propagandists know it too. They use ‘energy’, when consumers only care about ‘power’. They talk about wind and solar output in terms of meaningless averages, when consumers only care about having power as and when they need it, around-the-clock, whatever … Continue reading No Country Powers Itself Entirely With Wind & Solar; No Country Ever Will
Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
It takes more than just your average leap of logic to contend that the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ constitutes rational energy policy. That so-called ‘policy’ means doling out massive subsidies to wind and solar generators for weather-dependent occasional power; then subsidising coal-fired power plants to stay operating to fill the ‘gaps’ caused by sunset … Continue reading Massive Wind & Solar Subsidies Principal Cause of Your Rocketing Power Bills
Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
Now they’re talking in $trillions, the mere $billions in wind and solar subsidies pocketed so far sounds like chump change. When we’re talking about subsidies to wind and solar, we are including all the thoroughly unnecessary associated costs, like new pumped-hydro schemes; giant lithium-ion batteries; additional fast-start peaking plants (either diesel or gas); and tens … Continue reading Budget Blowout: Escalating Cost of Subsidising Wind & Solar Simply Staggering
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
Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
Generating occasional power at the whims of mother nature means wind and solar have no hope in hell of ever competing with ever-reliable nuclear power. In power generation ‘competing’ means being always on, always available and affordable for all. Because wind generates power less than 30% of the time (on average) and solar generates power … Continue reading Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future
Brace For Blackouts: Wind & Solar Transition Promise Dimly Lit Misery
Routine power rationing (aka ‘demand management’) and statewide blackouts are the natural consequence of attempting to run on sunshine and breezes. There is not a single example, anywhere in the world, of a country or state that runs exclusively on wind and solar. Those pretending to do so are now smacking headlong into a reality … Continue reading Brace For Blackouts: Wind & Solar Transition Promise Dimly Lit Misery
How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar
The apparent object of the wind and solar ‘transition’ is to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies. The evidence suggests we are well on our way. Hijacked by ideologues with arts degrees and bankrolled by crony capitalists ready to make a fast buck, at your expense, energy policy is playing out as one almighty nightmare … Continue reading How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar
Scorched Earth Policy: Wind and Solar Transition Wrecking The Environment & The Economy
Stripped to its core, the wind and solar ‘transition’ is all about trashing the environment and the economy, simultaneously. Incapable of delivering reliable and affordable power as and when we need it, and accordingly driving up the cost of the stuff that can be delivered on demand, power prices inevitably rocket out of control - … Continue reading Scorched Earth Policy: Wind and Solar Transition Wrecking The Environment & The Economy
