In the absence of subsidies there would not be a wind industry, period. As Warren Buffett said: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Indeed! Every wind turbine on earth could be sucked into … Continue reading Worthless Wind Power: Why A Dollar Spent on Wind Power Capacity Is A Dollar Wasted

No Dice: Democrats ‘New Green Deal’ Nothing More Than Costly Fantasy
That we’re on the brink of an all wind and sun powered future is an audacious wheeze that sits at the heart of the ‘New Green Deal’. Any sentient being, bothering to apply a little superficial consideration, understands that the claim that wind and solar will soon provide 100% of our electricity needs is complete … Continue reading No Dice: Democrats ‘New Green Deal’ Nothing More Than Costly Fantasy
No Contest: Intermittent Subsidised Wind & Solar Most Expensive Electricity of All
Sunset and calm weather mean that wind and solar don’t compete with coal, gas or nuclear power, but that doesn’t stop pointless cost comparisons. Electricity generated when you don’t need it, is worthless - and wind or solar power that you can't get, just when you need it most, can't be bought at any price. … Continue reading No Contest: Intermittent Subsidised Wind & Solar Most Expensive Electricity of All
No Contest: Wind Power Can’t Compete With Coal-Fired Power On Cost, Or At All
The well-chewed ‘chestnut, about wind power being cheaper than coal or gas-fired power is a nonsense. Then there's the fiction that wind power is actually ‘competing’ with conventional generation sources. ‘Competition’, in the wind industry’s eyes, is a pretty fluid concept: for most of life’s endeavours, it means a head-to-head race between all competitors, starting at … Continue reading No Contest: Wind Power Can’t Compete With Coal-Fired Power On Cost, Or At All
No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
It won’t be long before RE zealots are forced to accept defeat: wherever you look, coal, gas, hydro and nuclear keep thrashing wind and solar. Not simply because they’re cheaper, but because they work. And when we say ‘work’ STT means delivering power when and whenever consumers need it. STT doesn’t promote coal-fired power … Continue reading No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
