A month or so back, Germany’s green-infested government was talking up the end of coal and nuclear power plants; the last phase in its ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun-powered future, as the wind and sun cult would have it. Well. That was then, this is now. With the squeeze on Russian gas … Continue reading No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip

Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity
You know it’s a cult when innocents are being wiped out by shells and missiles and they’re fretting that we’ll lose our focus on the weather, as a result. As Russian tanks began shelling family homes across Ukraine, missiles struck home and air raid sirens screamed over Kyiv, John Kerry worried that Vlad’s westward expansion … Continue reading Gas Blow Out: Vlad’s Invasion Exposes European Renewable Energy Policy Insanity
Dumb & Dumber: Germany Wins Prize For World’s Most Idiotic Energy Policy
Germany set the gold standard for idiotic renewable energy policies, although the Brits, Californians, Texans and South Australians are keen contenders for that glittering prize. Thanks to its unhinged obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply calamity. Suffering Europe’s highest power prices, is just the … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Germany Wins Prize For World’s Most Idiotic Energy Policy
Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar was never going to end well. Power prices are now the highest in Europe, if not the world. But paying for power is only a problem for those Germans who are lucky enough to be supplied with it. Wherever there’s an attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, … Continue reading Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Beggaring Belief: No Sensible German Believes in Wind & Solar ‘Transition’, Anymore
Mainstream media have gone quiet on Germany’s ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun powered future. The debacle that’s playing out in Deutschland apparently doesn’t suit their narrative, anymore. It’s like kids hanging onto the belief that Santa Claus is real, long after they've tumbled to the fact that it's their fat Uncle … Continue reading Beggaring Belief: No Sensible German Believes in Wind & Solar ‘Transition’, Anymore
Merkel’s Muddle: Coal Keeps Powering On as Germany’s Renewable Energy Transition Implodes
Germany’s ‘transition’ to wind and solar is a full-scale debacle: rocketing power prices and an unstable grid, the only tangible ‘results’. Anyone still talking about an ‘inevitable transition’ to nature’s wonder fuels, only needs to be reminded about the power pricing and supply calamity that is South Australia. As another example of what follows … Continue reading Merkel’s Muddle: Coal Keeps Powering On as Germany’s Renewable Energy Transition Implodes
German Wind Power Fails Again: Coal-Fired Power Prevents Return to Dark Ages
When it comes to wind and solar, no country went harder or faster than Germany. As they say though, act in haste, repent at your leisure. A grid on the brink of collapse and rocketing power prices is all that Germans have to show for their obsession about powering themselves with daily sunshine and occasional … Continue reading German Wind Power Fails Again: Coal-Fired Power Prevents Return to Dark Ages
Downfall: Germany’s RE ‘Transition’ Leaves Grid on the Brink of Collapse
For those pumping the perceived merits of wind and solar power, the laws of nature can be a real bitch. Meteorology, physics, economics have all conspired against nature’s wonder fuels: the sun and wind. The disasters that are playing out in RE superpowers like South Australia and Germany, provide the perfect ‘how not to’ examples. … Continue reading Downfall: Germany’s RE ‘Transition’ Leaves Grid on the Brink of Collapse
‘Green’ Energy Still an Expensive Joke: Fossil Fuel’s Contribution to World Energy Demand Continues to Rise
Among their deluded repertoire of mantras, wind and sun worshippers cite the ‘death of coal’ (and all fossil fuels) as an article of faith. We’re repeatedly bombarded in the mainstream press about how sunshine and breezes (nature’s wonder fuels) will soon replace conventional fossil-fuelled electricity generators, altogether. Indeed, were also told that this so-called … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Still an Expensive Joke: Fossil Fuel’s Contribution to World Energy Demand Continues to Rise
Nuclear Retreat Leaves Wind ‘Powered’ Germany’s Power Grid on the Brink of Collapse
Act in haste, repent at your leisure. Germany’s rush to wind and solar, while shutting down what was one of Europe’s largest and most reliable nuclear power generation fleets will go down as one of the greatest economic and environmental disasters of all time. Spooked by an incident at a nuclear reactor at Fukushima, resulting … Continue reading Nuclear Retreat Leaves Wind ‘Powered’ Germany’s Power Grid on the Brink of Collapse
