The inherent absurdity in our headline is precisely the point. No one in touch with reality expects wind power during calm weather or solar power when the sun sets. No one believes that wind and solar generators can simply ‘turn it up’ on a calm night. Oh no, that responsibility is always left to conventional … Continue reading Freezing In The Dark? Just Ask Wind & Solar Generators to ‘Turn It Up’

Fade to Black: One Of These (Calm) Nights You’ll Be Freezing or Boiling In The Dark
The grand ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds great until you’re left freezing or boiling in the dark - the only inevitable outcome of attempting to run on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Solar output collapses on a regular, daily basis (a phenomenon that’s been referred to as ‘Sunset’ for some time now). Even when the … Continue reading Fade to Black: One Of These (Calm) Nights You’ll Be Freezing or Boiling In The Dark
Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Far from threatening human existence, coal and gas have, once again, literally saved thousands of American lives. A bout of what is now known as ‘extreme weather’ demonstrates how extremely stupid it is to rely upon sunshine and breezes for power. During December’s Big Freeze, millions of America’s solar panels were carpeted in snow and … Continue reading Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Dark Days Ahead: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Braces For Mass Blackouts
A mixture of dread and panic has struck with the realisation that power rationing and rocketing prices are the only thing ‘inevitable’ about the grand wind and solar transition. Germany set its path towards energy poverty, economic and social chaos, almost 20 years ago. Now, with a little help from Vlad Putin and his strategic … Continue reading Dark Days Ahead: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Braces For Mass Blackouts
Blackout Blitz: Power Prices Rocket As London Struggles to Keep the Lights On
The lamps went out across Europe in 1914, 1939 and now they’re going out, again. This time, thanks to a maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Wishful thinking, combined with ideological zealotry has left Britain’s energy supplies in tatters. Germany is in the same boat, and for the same reasons. A few months from … Continue reading Blackout Blitz: Power Prices Rocket As London Struggles to Keep the Lights On
Wind Power’s Woeful Performance Causing Blackouts & Mass Load Shedding
Wind and solar acolytes fail to mention that the ‘inevitable transition’ includes hours spent sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. Power rationing by postcode is the new normal in Australia, as grid managers attempt to deal with the chaotic delivery of wind and solar. Former energy users are being encouraged not to use energy … Continue reading Wind Power’s Woeful Performance Causing Blackouts & Mass Load Shedding
Short-Changed: $Billions Spent On Wind & Solar Return Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
All cost and no benefit, chaotically intermittent wind and solar are proven net losers. And yet, the Climate Industrial Complex keeps telling us that the unreliables are central to ‘saving’ the planet. On that score, rather than coming straight out with it, crony capitalists and political elites use the euphemism ‘climate action’. What they really … Continue reading Short-Changed: $Billions Spent On Wind & Solar Return Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
