As 2023 slips by, it’s getting harder for wind and solar ‘industries’ to claim any other purpose than raking in massive subsidies. Europe’s wind and solar rollout is at a complete standstill; wind turbine manufacturers are laying off staff in droves and losing hundreds of millions of euros. The French are backing a massive increase … Continue reading Destined For Failure: Wind & Solar Transition Depends on (Impossible) Battery Storage Miracle

Storage Stories: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar Power’s Natural Intermittency
It only takes a moment’s reckoning to appreciate that the grid-scale storage electricity generated by wind or solar is a perfect nonsense. It hasn’t occurred anywhere in the world; nor will it. The combined capacity of all of the batteries on Earth would store a trivial 10 minute’s worth of the World’s electricity needs. The … Continue reading Storage Stories: Why Giant Batteries Can’t Solve Wind & Solar Power’s Natural Intermittency
Big Battery Bunkum: Why Grid-Scale Storage of Renewable Energy Will Never Work
Banishing our good friends, logic and reason is essential to the notion of an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future. Ignorance of simple maths, the laws of physics, economics and meteorology helps, too. Which explains why the naïve and gullible are merrily swallowing the story that we’re just a few mega-batteries … Continue reading Big Battery Bunkum: Why Grid-Scale Storage of Renewable Energy Will Never Work
New York Con-Job: Trillion Dollar Batteries Not Included In All-Renewables Hoax
The wind and solar scam attracts scoundrels, whose audacity is matched by their capacity to spin fantastic tales. One of which is the claim that giant batteries are all that’s needed to deliver an all wind and sun powered future. It’s a fiction, to be sure. But, as the old propaganda adage has it, the … Continue reading New York Con-Job: Trillion Dollar Batteries Not Included In All-Renewables Hoax
Beyond Redemption: Germany’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers Energy Debacle
You know RE scammers are on the ropes, when they start talking about non-existent grid-scale batteries, pumped hydro and, the latest lunacy, converting chaotically intermittent wind and solar into hydrogen gas. In the beginning, when the quizzical pressed them about the inherent unreliability of wind and solar, it was brushed off with glib statements such … Continue reading Beyond Redemption: Germany’s Suicidal Wind & Solar Obsession Delivers Energy Debacle
Plugging In: The ‘Batteries Will Save Intermittent Wind & Solar’ Myth Goes Up In Flames
Mobile device users dread the moment when their phone or tablet signals the end of what’s stored on board, prompting furtive efforts to reconnect to the power grid. Sure, over time, battery life has improved on smart phones and iPads, but hitting the natural limit of the power that can be stored in such … Continue reading Plugging In: The ‘Batteries Will Save Intermittent Wind & Solar’ Myth Goes Up In Flames
Renewable Storage Myth Busted: Elon Musk’s Great Battery Conjob Exposed
We're now told the solution to the chaos delivered by wind and solar is giant lithium-ion batteries, of the kind peddled by Elon Musk. The reefer-smoking, Californian carpetbagger managed to offload one unit in wind power obsessed, South Australia, collected $150 million, and was never seen again. Here's Liberal MP, Craig Kelly explaining just how … Continue reading Renewable Storage Myth Busted: Elon Musk’s Great Battery Conjob Exposed
Insane Storage Cost Mean Batteries No Solution to Chaotic Wind Power Delivery
As the mob rumbles the fact that wind and solar can’t replace conventional generators, RE zealots can only mutter about ‘mega-batteries’. Mass load shedding in Victoria and South Australia - following dramatic collapses in wind power output - left hundreds of thousands sweltering and fuming at just what’s been done to our once reliable and … Continue reading Insane Storage Cost Mean Batteries No Solution to Chaotic Wind Power Delivery
