Germany and Australia share delusional obsessions with wind and solar power; but they also share a desperate demand for reliable coal-fired power.

After almost 20 years and tens of $billions in subsidies, wind and solar’s combined contribution to Australian energy demand is risible. And that’s on average. Those pesky facts (sunset and calm weather) mean that there are hundreds of occasions each year when their combined contribution is a big fat zero.
