Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Brits are already paying the price for its suicidal renewable energy policies. Under ‘Bonkers’ Boris that price will be positively murderous. His plan to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on subsidies and over-the-market contracts for intermittent offshore wind power beggars belief. And will turn many on the lower … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power

Those opportunistic ‘devils’ who command reliable, fossil-fuelled power generation sources are making out like veritable bandits. While power punters are bracing … Continue reading Some Transition!: Europe’s Power Prices Rocket Whenever the Sun Sets & Calm Weather Sets In
New Data Shows Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson’s Wind Power Plans Are Completely Ridiculous
The pathetic energy density of wind power is just another reason why it is so insanely expensive, compared to any meaningful power source. The bigger turbine, the further apart they need to be spread - so that the dirty wake of one turbine doesn’t affect the airflow to any turbine downwind and, thereby, reduce its … Continue reading New Data Shows Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson’s Wind Power Plans Are Completely Ridiculous

Tipping Point: Wind & Solar Chaos Forces Britain to Spend £1.5 Billion A Year Balancing Its Grid
If wind and solar are meant to be a ‘cure’, then it’s one that's clearly worse than the disease. Touted everywhere as both reliable and cheap, the experience in Britain (and everywhere else for that matter) is all to the contrary.

Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
Want to pay a fortune for power delivered in chaotic fits and spurts? Why not try offshore wind power? The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical.
