Over-generous subsidies and guaranteed over-the-market prices are the only explanation for rooftop solar. Having millions of mini (occasional) rooftop generation stations (aka domestic residences) never made any sense. Producing notionally ‘useful’ power for 5 or 6 hours a day - weather permitting - never made any sense, but nothing about the grand wind and solar … Continue reading Totally Busted: California’s Subsidised Solar Scam Implodes

Following California’s Renewable Energy Lead Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices & Blackouts
In their sillier moments, the wind and sun cult point to places like California or Germany as prime examples of energy Nirvana. Then come the facts. California and Germany have most certainly led the charge in backing heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, but they’ve also led the charge on rocketing power prices … Continue reading Following California’s Renewable Energy Lead Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices & Blackouts
Subsidised Wind & Solar Delivering Crushing Power Prices For Energy-Starved Californians
Looking for insight into the wind and solar ‘transition’? Then start with California - where power prices are crushing the poorest households, and blackouts and routine power rationing are now an accepted part of their attempt to run on heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Power prices, already the highest in the USA, … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Delivering Crushing Power Prices For Energy-Starved Californians
Blackout Transition: Intermittent Wind & Solar Power Surge Wrecking California’s Grid
Rocketing power prices and routine blackouts are the inevitable consequence of the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar ‘transition’ - California is no exception. Indeed, thanks to their deranged leaders’ obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, Californians will be lucky to have power, at all. Putting aside the question of whether all but the elite will … Continue reading Blackout Transition: Intermittent Wind & Solar Power Surge Wrecking California’s Grid
Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Once the engineers were banished and the bureaucrats took charge, the fate of reliable and affordable energy supplies was sealed. Trashing coal-fired power plants, demonising nuclear power and squandering untold $billions on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar would have never happened if the engineers were left alone to run the show. The results are difficult … Continue reading Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
Calm weather and sunset mean that wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. And mythical grid-scale electricity storage won’t save them, either. Never to be defeated by facts, reason and logic, wind and solar acolytes are quick to point to a rare occasion when their combined output is equal to, or greater … Continue reading All Pain/No Gain: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Really Power Us
The Big ‘Green’ Lie: Why We’ll Never, Ever Be 100% Powered By Wind & Solar Power
The wind and solar acolyte in their more delusional moments readily proclaims that an all-wind and sun-powered future is upon us. Never mind sunset; never mind dead calm weather; and never mind the fact that the idea that giant lithium-ion batteries economically storing wind and solar power at grid-scale is pure hokum – for the … Continue reading The Big ‘Green’ Lie: Why We’ll Never, Ever Be 100% Powered By Wind & Solar Power
Daily Disaster: Blackouts Only Reward For California’s Wind & Solar Nightmare
If insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results, then California’s a clear candidate for the asylum. Over the last 20 years, its maniacal wind and solar obsession has cost Californians dearly: they suffer America’s highest power prices and, when the mercury soars, are lucky to get any power, at all. Energy … Continue reading Daily Disaster: Blackouts Only Reward For California’s Wind & Solar Nightmare
Terminal Power Policy: California’s Wind & Solar Crusade Destined for Epic Failure
Those claiming that we’ll soon be exclusively powered by wind and solar clearly failed arithmetic. To keep an electricity grid functioning requires a precise volume of power to be generated and transmitted that precisely matches the volume of power consumed, over time and at all times. Sunset and/or calm weather have the, rather obvious, effect … Continue reading Terminal Power Policy: California’s Wind & Solar Crusade Destined for Epic Failure
Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster
When a notionally first world economy can’t keep the lights on, you’ll find an overreliance on wind and solar at the heart of it. So it is in California. As in Germany, as in South Australia, Californians are victims of a maniacal obsession with wind turbines and solar panels. The consequences are as perfectly predictable, … Continue reading Shifting Deckchairs: Unreliable Wind & Solar Responsible For California’s Titanic Energy Disaster
