Generating occasional power at the whims of mother nature means wind and solar have no hope in hell of ever competing with ever-reliable nuclear power. In power generation ‘competing’ means being always on, always available and affordable for all. Because wind generates power less than 30% of the time (on average) and solar generates power … Continue reading Nuclear Showdown: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Terrified of Nuclear-Powered Future

China’s & India’s Coal-Fired Power Push Ignores West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Embrace
China and India are building coal-fired and nuclear power plants, hand over fist. Their rapid economic development hinges on access to reliable and cheap power to industry. Meanwhile, the West maintains its positively suicidal obsession with subsidised wind and solar. Whereas China profits handsomely - selling millions of solar panels made by Uighur slaves and … Continue reading China’s & India’s Coal-Fired Power Push Ignores West’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Embrace
Energy Policy Screaming Out For Courageous Common Sense Politicians
Reliable and affordable energy supplies were inevitably doomed once political ideologues replaced engineers and market economists. The obsession with hopelessly unreliable and heavily subsidised wind and solar is being driven by a cult with all the rationality and reason of the Spanish Inquisition. Like the Inquisition, it takes more than just a little courage to … Continue reading Energy Policy Screaming Out For Courageous Common Sense Politicians
RE Reverse: 2024 Marks Beginning Of The End For Wind & Solar Transition
The closer countries get to the wind and solar transition, the faster they retreat from it. Across Europe, renewable energy targets have been ditched and replaced with policies built around always-on nuclear power. Finland, Sweden, France and Britain, for starters. Wind turbine and solar panel manufacturers are bleeding cash and their share values have been … Continue reading RE Reverse: 2024 Marks Beginning Of The End For Wind & Solar Transition
Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Gambling With Other Peoples’ Money And Always Losing
Squandering $billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the cornerstone of the policy said to deliver the grand energy transition. Not that we have any say in the matter, but, if given the choice of paying rent-seekers to carpet the country in even more solar panels and wind turbines or joining the political malefactors … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’: Gambling With Other Peoples’ Money And Always Losing
Farmers Fightback: Primary Producers Revolt Against Mass Industrial Wind & Solar Rollout
The wind cult’s proponents never face the prospect of being surrounded by hundreds of 250m high whirling wonders, slicing and dicing birds and wrecking the ability of neighbours to sleep in their own homes and wrecking the environment, more generally. No, all that pointless misery and suffering, that’s for the other guy. The virtue signalling … Continue reading Farmers Fightback: Primary Producers Revolt Against Mass Industrial Wind & Solar Rollout
Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
A little over 20 years ago, Australia plugged in to the wind and solar transition with the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target. As they say, ‘sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind’. Australia’s once reliable and affordable power supplies are long gone, replaced by heavily subsidised, intermittent and costly wind and solar, backed up by … Continue reading Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future
Missed Target: No Way Wind & Solar Can Meet (Pointless) Net-Zero CO2 Target
The Soviet 5-year-plan was all about ludicrous ambitions that the Proles duly defied and likewise defied reality. So it is with so-called ‘net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets’. Big talk about pointless objects is easy enough, but, at some stage the punters start asking when those objects might be met. And when they’re rebuffed, they … Continue reading Missed Target: No Way Wind & Solar Can Meet (Pointless) Net-Zero CO2 Target
Resistance Is Futile: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Can Only Be Met With Nuclear Power
The fact that those pushing net-zero emissions targets aren’t talking seriously about nuclear power, says it all. If energy policy is left in the hands of the wind and sun cult - and other weather-obsessed lunatics - it won't be long before we’re all left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. Those with financial … Continue reading Resistance Is Futile: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Can Only Be Met With Nuclear Power
Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
As in life, government policy is about trade-offs, which usually means plumping for the good rather than the perfect. However, in the de-industrialising West, energy policy is all about rejecting the good in favour of the unworkable. The notion that weather-dependent wind, and weather and sunshine-dependent solar (with or without pumped hydro or mythical mega-batteries) … Continue reading Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
