Australia’s RE Debacle Means It’s Time to Drain the Subsidised Wind & Solar Swamp
Once upon a time, in a land far away - a place blessed with coal, gas and uranium - electricity flowed all day and all night, and it was practically given away. Then came subsidised wind and solar; mandates; targets; penalties and feed in tariffs. After less than a dozen years, what was an energy … Continue reading Australia’s RE Debacle Means It’s Time to Drain the Subsidised Wind & Solar Swamp
RE Fails During Heatwave: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Californians Sweltering in the Dark
Plug your energy needs into the sun and wind and expect plenty of disappointment, especially when it counts.

State of Delusion: Push to Kill-Off Arizona’s Nuclear Plant & Go 50% Wind & Solar
Believing that wind and solar can power your economy means sacrificing our good friends, logic and reason. It also demands ignorance of the most basic of facts: eg, sunset and calm weather.
