Unreliable, inefficient and insanely costly, there’s plenty to dislike about subsidised wind and solar. British power prices have rocketed; ‘reliability’ is now just a catchphrase; energy poverty is the new normal; and its PM, Boris Johnson apparently couldn’t care less. Indeed, he seems even more fixated on unreliable and unaffordable power, than his predecessors. Dr … Continue reading Renewable Energy Obsession Means Brits Pay £10.8 Billion in Wind & Solar Subsidies Every Year

Power Pact: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Get the Gold; The Poor Get the Stick
Government mandated subsidies for wind and solar represent the greatest wealth transfer since England’s ‘Bad’ King John sought to tax himself to ultimate power and his enemies out of existence. His description as “avaricious, miserly, extortionate and moneyminded” applies with equal force to today’s crony capitalist kings - the renewable energy rent seekers. Had King … Continue reading Power Pact: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Get the Gold; The Poor Get the Stick
Winter of Discontent: Brits Face Power Rationing as Wind Power Output Collapses (again and again)
Brits expecting their thousands of wind turbines to deliver the goods this winter have been disappointed, yet again. While Boris Johnson peddles his delusional plan to run the UK entirely on breezes and bluster, the typical (and wholly expected) collapse in wind power output across Britain this winter provides a taste of things to come. … Continue reading Winter of Discontent: Brits Face Power Rationing as Wind Power Output Collapses (again and again)
Brits Biggest Losers: China Biggest Winner From Boris Johnson’s £50bn Wind Power Plan
Offshoring jobs and lining the pockets of foreign wind turbine makers is part and parcel of Britain’s giant wind power scam. Boris Johnson’s plan to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on subsidies and over-the-market contracts for intermittent offshore wind power is positively bonkers. At a time when Britain needs all the help it can get to claw itself … Continue reading Brits Biggest Losers: China Biggest Winner From Boris Johnson’s £50bn Wind Power Plan
Economically Unhinged: Bonkers Boris Johnson’s Green Fantasy Guaranteed to Bankrupt Britain
Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson's plan to ‘power’ Britain on wishes, sunshine and breezes is more like Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole. Intriguing and fascinating, yes. But also a complete and utter fantasy. The concept smacks of delusion, at every level. Neil Collins tackles the topic from the economic perspective. This green fantasy will bankrupt us … Continue reading Economically Unhinged: Bonkers Boris Johnson’s Green Fantasy Guaranteed to Bankrupt Britain
Obsession With Unreliable Wind Power Turns Britain’s Power Supply Into 90 Pound Weakling
Pin your energy hopes to the weather and prepare for sudden and unpredictable disappointment. Britain’s done just that: an obsession with chaotically intermittent wind power has left its grid in terminal condition turning its once reliable power supply into a 90 pound weakling; blackouts are odds-on this winter and power prices are set to rocket. … Continue reading Obsession With Unreliable Wind Power Turns Britain’s Power Supply Into 90 Pound Weakling
Boris Goes Bonkers: UK Set to Squander A Further £50,000,000,000 On Failed Wind Power Experiment
If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then Boris Johnson is clearly barking mad. The UK PM’s latest cunning plan is to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on government guaranteed fixed price contracts - paying way above market rates - subsidies and taxpayer support for chaotically intermittent wind … Continue reading Boris Goes Bonkers: UK Set to Squander A Further £50,000,000,000 On Failed Wind Power Experiment
Never Competitive: Britain’s Wind Industry Begs For Even More Massive Subsidies
The wind industry was founded on lies, built on myth and runs on subsidies. ‘Propaganda’ was conjured up by a Catholic Pope, employed with devastating effect by the Nazis and still maintains control over the masses in China. But it wasn’t until the wind industry switched into gear that propaganda really hit its straps. Being … Continue reading Never Competitive: Britain’s Wind Industry Begs For Even More Massive Subsidies
Descent of Man: Britain’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy Lays A Path To Poverty
Britain is reaping the sorry rewards of its wind power obsession, with spiralling power prices and an increasingly unreliable power supply. Back in August last year we reported on a mass blackout that struck Britain, when an offshore wind farm decided to down tools: Blackout Nation: Wind Power Output Collapse Leaves Millions of Brits Totally Powerless … Continue reading Descent of Man: Britain’s Suicidal Renewable Energy Policy Lays A Path To Poverty
Renewables Relief: Brexit Brings End to Britain’s Staggering Wind Power Subsidies
As Britain begins to untangle itself from the web of subsidies, regulations and mandates set by green-left lunatics in Europe, its rent-seeking wind power outfits must be feeling as anxious as ever. The cost of intermittent and unreliable renewables can no longer be concealed (despite the climate cults' best efforts) and, with that in mind, … Continue reading Renewables Relief: Brexit Brings End to Britain’s Staggering Wind Power Subsidies
