It takes a special brand of delusion to believe that the world can run on sunshine and breezes. For wind and sun worshippers, disastrous examples like South Australia - where mass blackouts and load shedding have become the new normal - require not just practiced delusion but a form of self-flagellating stoicism, as well. Oh, … Continue reading Renewable Energy’s Dirty Dozen: 12 Reasons Why Chaotically Intermittent & Heavily Subsidised Wind & Solar Power Make No Sense

World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
The point, if there was one, of throwing hundreds of $billions in subsidies at wind and solar was to slash emissions of carbon dioxide gas. Taxpayers and power consumers who are on the receiving end of the bill for all this environmental piety would, after almost 20 years, be entitled to ask just how much … Continue reading World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
Germany Squanders $Trillions on Subsidised Wind & Solar But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
As we are continually reminded, CO2 emissions from fossil-fuelled power generators are all set to incinerate the planet. $Trillions in subsidies have been literally thrown to the sun and the wind, purportedly to kill coal, for good. To all but the most deluded, it’s fairly apparent that utterly weather dependent wind and solar will never … Continue reading Germany Squanders $Trillions on Subsidised Wind & Solar But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
Stung: Minnesota Counts the Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind Power
As 2017 draws to a close, with examples like Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia in mind, it takes a special brand of delusion to still believe that a country can run on sunshine and breezes. The cost of subsidised wind power is staggering, the effects on the grid chaotic. The peaceful and prosperous places … Continue reading Stung: Minnesota Counts the Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind Power
Minnesota Throws $Billions at Wind Power: But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
'Green' energy fails every test Watts Up with That? John Hinderacker 18 October 2017 The sad story of Minnesota’s green energy failure is one that no doubt is being replicated around the country. And one of the ironies of green energy is that it is terrible for the environment. Liberals will tell you that Minnesota … Continue reading Minnesota Throws $Billions at Wind Power: But CO2 Emissions Barely Budge
PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
Politics is a cruel caper, at the best of times. And, in Australia, power politics is merciless. A decade and-a-half of government intervention in the power market has left Australia with the highest power prices in the world and a grid on the brink of collapse. The disaster is largely down to distortions caused by … Continue reading PM’s Reliable Power Play Spells Disaster for Unreliable & Intermittent Wind Power
Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless
Oh, the irony. In one breath we're told that the climate is changing so rapidly - although, these days, most climate alarmists don’t seem prepared to lay a bet on whether things are getting hotter or colder - that carpeting the world in wind turbines and solar panels - which cultists believe will solve the … Continue reading Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless
The Nuclear Option: Atomic Solution to Australia’s Energy Crisis
In the blink of an eye, Australia’s media circus has finally woken up to the scale and scope of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity. More ink has been spilt in the last few weeks on the subject than in the whole of the last decade. Wind power capital, South Australia’s blackouts and load … Continue reading The Nuclear Option: Atomic Solution to Australia’s Energy Crisis
The True & Staggering Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar Power: Unsustainable Energy Defined
For the uninitiated, the sight of snow white wind turbines flailing in the breeze in some green field reinforces that feel-good notion that wind power is the crème de la crème of ‘green energy’. For those in the know, whenever the term ‘green energy’ is trotted out by some starry-eyed hipster or sandal wearing … Continue reading The True & Staggering Environmental Cost of Wind & Solar Power: Unsustainable Energy Defined
Germany’s Monumental Environmental Fail: CO2 Emissions Rise Despite €Trillions Blown on Subsidised Wind & Solar
In Germany, around €190 billion has already been burnt on renewable subsidies; currently the green energy levy costs €56 million every day. And, the level of subsidy for wind and solar sees Germans paying €20 billion a year for power that gets sold on the power exchange for around €2 billion. Energy poverty is a … Continue reading Germany’s Monumental Environmental Fail: CO2 Emissions Rise Despite €Trillions Blown on Subsidised Wind & Solar
