Germany and Britain are so heavily dependent on wind and solar, that gloomy, windless weather now presents an existential threat. The Germans have even coined a word for it: ‘dunkelflaute’. If mass blackouts during freezing winter weather weren’t a threat to millions of lives, it would almost be comical. What’s occurred is the perfect example … Continue reading RE-Treat: Europe’s Repeated Wind & Solar Failures Force Renewable Energy Reversal

Skyrocketing Power Prices & Power Rationing: Germany First To Hit The Wind & Solar Wall
Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply disaster thanks to the world’s most idiotic energy policy, centred on an unhinged obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, consumers are bracing for even worse to come. Vladimir Putin’s Ukrainian adventure has merely brought things to a … Continue reading Skyrocketing Power Prices & Power Rationing: Germany First To Hit The Wind & Solar Wall
Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Europe’s insatiable appetite for unreliable wind and solar has left Europeans hungry for any kind of power, provided it’s available on demand. The French have rebooted investment in their 56 existing nuclear plants and are planning a further 14 to add to their enviable fleet. The Brits and the Germans are stoking up their ‘ageing’ … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Perfect Storm: Renewables Obsession Leaves Europeans Vulnerable During Bitter Winter
Wind and solar are meant to be the solution to our looming weather woes. The truth is that the weather-dependent ‘unreliables’ have increased our mortal vulnerability to mother nature’s vagaries. Europe is in the grip of a bitter winter and, with routine and total collapses in both wind and solar output, its electricity grid is … Continue reading Perfect Storm: Renewables Obsession Leaves Europeans Vulnerable During Bitter Winter
Russia Revisited: Germany’s Winter Wind & Solar Drought Results in Soviet Style Power Rationing
Soviet shortages led to the gag about “what has 100 legs and eats cabbage?” 50 Muscovites lining up to buy sausage. Wind and solar obsessed Germans must feel a little like the USSR’s (unwilling) vegetarians at the moment. Their endless seas of solar panels are plastered thick with snow and ice and, accordingly, producing two … Continue reading Russia Revisited: Germany’s Winter Wind & Solar Drought Results in Soviet Style Power Rationing
Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
The renewable energy cult raves about the ‘inevitable transition’, pointing to Germany as the shining example, which it is, if your point is that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will inevitably drive power prices through the roof and leave hopeful power consumers freezing in the dark. No country went harder and faster … Continue reading Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
New Dark Ages: Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Renders Germany the Blackout Nation
The Germans have been dealing with the chaos delivered by intermittent wind and solar for a decade now, so it’s no surprise that they’ve already taken a close look at what happens when the power goes out: Blackout Blueprint: German Study Reveals What Really Happens When Power Supplies Fail When the lights go out for an hour … Continue reading New Dark Ages: Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Renders Germany the Blackout Nation
Wind & Solar Chaos Leaves Europe’s Power Grid On Brink of Total Collapse
Germany led the way, and others soon followed: erratically delivered wind and solar now dominates Europe’s power grid. Naturally enough, power prices have rocketed and grid managers are left to deal with the chaos delivered by sunset and/or calm weather. Rapid surges and/or collapses in voltage and frequency - consequent upon surges and collapses in … Continue reading Wind & Solar Chaos Leaves Europe’s Power Grid On Brink of Total Collapse
German Wind Power Fails Again: Coal-Fired Power Prevents Return to Dark Ages
When it comes to wind and solar, no country went harder or faster than Germany. As they say though, act in haste, repent at your leisure. A grid on the brink of collapse and rocketing power prices is all that Germans have to show for their obsession about powering themselves with daily sunshine and occasional … Continue reading German Wind Power Fails Again: Coal-Fired Power Prevents Return to Dark Ages
Blackout Blueprint: German Study Reveals What Really Happens When Power Supplies Fail
Wind and solar ‘powered’ South Australians know what it is to do without power for days on end. Having experienced plenty of load shedding lasting for 5 hours or more, South Australians got a real taste of the dark ages in September 2016, when the whole State went black. A sudden collapse in wind power … Continue reading Blackout Blueprint: German Study Reveals What Really Happens When Power Supplies Fail
