The more intermittent wind and solar get added to the grid, the greater the risk that their chaotic delivery of power will wreck it. By which we mean the delivery of an entire ‘system black’ - of the kind that Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia became world-renowned for. Depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid … Continue reading Pure Unbridled Chaos: Why Unreliable and Intermittent Wind & Solar Destabilise Power Grids

Hydrogen Hoax: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Demand Subsidies To Convert Their Chaotic Power Into Gas
Producing hydrogen gas using chaotically intermittent wind and solar is only the latest hoax being peddled by renewable energy rent seekers and other crony capitalists. The majority of hydrogen available on the market (around 95%) is produced from fossil fuels by steam reforming or partial oxidation of methane and coal gasification with only a tiny … Continue reading Hydrogen Hoax: Wind & Solar Rent-Seekers Demand Subsidies To Convert Their Chaotic Power Into Gas
Parasitic Power: Intermittent Wind & Solar Take More From Power Grid Than They Ever Add
Applying scarce resources so that the benefits always outweigh the costs is rational, but subsidised wind and solar will never fit that bill. Putting aside the minerals and the energy required to convert those minerals that is embodied in solar panels and wind turbines, it’s the fact that - no matter how much wind and … Continue reading Parasitic Power: Intermittent Wind & Solar Take More From Power Grid Than They Ever Add
Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
Wind power is the joke where the punchline is a mixture of rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. None of which is particularly funny for those suffering from one and threatened by the other. As to the latter, this country’s maniacal obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and … Continue reading Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Power Output Just Keeps On Collapsing, Time & Time Again
If you’re looking for a definition of ‘hopeless joke’, look no further than the daily contribution of Australia’s 6,960 MW industrial wind power fleet. One hackneyed myth relied upon by the wind cult in this country (everywhere, really) is that the “wind is always blowing somewhere”. Which is complete and utter bollocks. Spread from Far … Continue reading Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Power Output Just Keeps On Collapsing, Time & Time Again
Power Deficit: Wind Power’s Hopeless Intermittency Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Generation
What seemed like a good idea at the time, has turned into an unmitigated disaster. Germany threw more at wind and solar than any other country on earth; its government has done everything in its power to make it work. It’s still at it. Except there’s a couple of things that it can never control: … Continue reading Power Deficit: Wind Power’s Hopeless Intermittency Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Generation
Mind The Gaps: Wind Power Delivers Massive Daily Output Collapses Across Australia
There’s nothing like wind power when it comes to delivering grid chaos. It’s all about the weather, really. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, what’s depicted above and below speaks volumes about just how pathetic is the ‘performance’ of Australia’s wind power fleet. Spread from Far North Queensland, across the ranges of NSW, all … Continue reading Mind The Gaps: Wind Power Delivers Massive Daily Output Collapses Across Australia
Wasted Time: US Squanders Countless $Billions in Subsidies to Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
Power consumption is a here and now kind of thing, so talk about wind power powering 100,000 homes is utter nonsense. To expose the lie, the inquisitive need only ask when, precisely? When will those 100,000 homes be powered in any meaningful sense by a power source that’s entirely dependent upon the vagaries of the … Continue reading Wasted Time: US Squanders Countless $Billions in Subsidies to Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power
The Great Wind Delusion: Why Wind Power Is Worse Than Useless
The notion that a nation can run on sunshine and breezes is worse than delusional, it’s flat out dangerous. Once resilient and reliable electricity generation and delivery systems designed around the certitude of coal, gas and hydro have been replaced by pure and utter, weather driven chaos. Rapid and reactionary load shedding (“demand management”) and … Continue reading The Great Wind Delusion: Why Wind Power Is Worse Than Useless
Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
Once upon a time, electricity had a value defined by demand, not by the weather. Power that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has absolutely no commercial value. Which brings us to weather-dependent wind power; generated in chaotic, random intervals, it’s a case of either feast or famine. But businesses and households don’t … Continue reading Priceless: Scots Forced to Pay Wind Farms £650,000,000 To NOT Generate Power
