The wind and solar transition is just like every other grand 5-year-plan dreamt up by socialists, except the fact that crony capitalists are loving every minute of it. Ambitious (and ludicrous) wind and solar generation targets have given way to even more ambitious (and completely ludicrous) net-zero carbon oxide gas targets. Neither have a hope … Continue reading Purely Ideological: No Hope of Ever Satisfying Net-Zero CO2 Targets With Wind & Solar

Misery Guaranteed: Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets Mean Taxing Prosperity Out of Existence
As the wind and solar ‘transition’ implodes, the response is to tax the life out of anything still moving, crushing power consumers and taxpayers in the bargain. Ronald Reagan’s quip about how governments treat their economies: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it” is … Continue reading Misery Guaranteed: Net Zero CO2 Emissions Targets Mean Taxing Prosperity Out of Existence
Calculated Destruction: Counting the True Costs of Net-Zero CO2 Emissions Madness
For renewable energy rent-seekers, the path to net-zero CO2 emissions targets is lined with endless taxpayers’ gold. These boys don’t get out of bed unless the subsidies are huge and guaranteed to last in perpetuity. So, it comes as no surprise that the true cost of net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets is out of … Continue reading Calculated Destruction: Counting the True Costs of Net-Zero CO2 Emissions Madness
Post-Renewables Europe: Coal Prevents Mass Blackouts As Great Wind Drought Continues
While hot air output shot up in Glasgow, Europe’s great wind drought continues unabated. Wind power output amounted to a trickle through most of September and into October. We dubbed it the ‘Big Calm’. Well, the Big Calm appears now to be less of an anomaly than the new normal. In Britain, grid operators are … Continue reading Post-Renewables Europe: Coal Prevents Mass Blackouts As Great Wind Drought Continues
Arrested Development: Without Nuclear Power ‘Net-Zero’ Emissions Targets Are An Economic Suicide Pact
Every advance made by humankind can trace its roots to the control and use of energy. The Industrial Revolution wasn’t powered by wood, nor was the rapid rise of the East Asian economies, over the last generation. Smug in their seemingly dominant prosperity, the leaders of Western nations are bidding to outdo each other in … Continue reading Arrested Development: Without Nuclear Power ‘Net-Zero’ Emissions Targets Are An Economic Suicide Pact
Command & Control: Subsidised Wind Power Central to Britain’s Great Socialist Reset
As Margaret Thatcher put it: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” That adage, however, doesn’t appear to trouble Britain’s current PM, Boris Johnson, whose plan to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on subsidies and over-the-market contracts for intermittent offshore wind power beggars belief. But that colossal crony-capitalist boondoggle, … Continue reading Command & Control: Subsidised Wind Power Central to Britain’s Great Socialist Reset
