Delusions come in various sizes, but the biggest of all is the claim that we’ll soon be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. With the prospect of a Sleepy Joe Biden Presidency and the imposition of the Squad’s economy-wrecking New Green Deal the delusion is about to take on monstrous proportions. So, no time … Continue reading Glorious Fiction: Busting the Myth that Wind & Solar Will Soon Power the Planet

Renewables Reckoning: Wind & Solar Deliver Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Australia’s renewable energy policy reads more like a suicide note than an energy roadmap. In a couple of months - as temperatures rise and, so too, the demand for electricity to power millions of air conditioners - the power rationing will begin in earnest (again) and the daily spot price for electricity will go through … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Wind & Solar Deliver Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
S-O-S: Coal-Fired Power Only Answer to Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Faced with rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse, the Morrison Federal government remains committed to the policies that caused the debacle. Instead of ensuring the survival of Australia’s extensive coal-fired power fleet and building new High Efficiency Low Emissions coal-plants, the PM and his Energy Minister have selected a … Continue reading S-O-S: Coal-Fired Power Only Answer to Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Worse Than Worthless: Intermittent Wind & Solar Cost A Fortune, But Have No True Value
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when power consumers need it, has no commercial value. Sure, the wind might be ‘free’ and the Sun may never send an invoice to solar panel owners, but wind and solar power are readily the most expensive way of generating chaotically intermittent electricity, known to man. And the … Continue reading Worse Than Worthless: Intermittent Wind & Solar Cost A Fortune, But Have No True Value
Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Sending South Africa’s Power Prices Into Orbit
Rocketing power prices and grid instability are two inescapable consequences of subsidised wind and solar. While sunshine and breezes might be free, attempting to run your power system using nature’s gifts, brings with it a raft of other costs which RE zealots tend to gloss over. The electricity generation and distribution system - which wind … Continue reading Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Are Sending South Africa’s Power Prices Into Orbit
Want To Cripple America? Have the Democrats Got A New ‘Green’ Deal For You!
New ‘Green’ Deal Democrats, headed by AOC’s Squad are determined to destroy the USA from the inside. Presidential hopeful, Sleepy Joe Biden appears equally determined to help them. The Democrats have been doing the bidding of America’s cabal of crony capitalists who designed the wind and solar scam for years; characters who’ve made obscene profits … Continue reading Want To Cripple America? Have the Democrats Got A New ‘Green’ Deal For You!
New Soviet Era: Australian Businesses Paid to Shut Down When Wind & Solar Output Drops
To call Australia’s energy debacle a ‘crisis’ is mastery in understatement: its obsession with wind and solar means its economy now operates around the vagaries of mother nature. The availability of sunshine and suitably beneficial breezes dictates when and where electricity gets delivered to power consumers. The cause of Australia's power pricing and supply calamity … Continue reading New Soviet Era: Australian Businesses Paid to Shut Down When Wind & Solar Output Drops
JobSeeker: Australia’s Economic Recovery Demands End to Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar
Putting a million Australians back to work requires a complete overhaul of Australia’s suicidal energy policies. The Federal and State government dictated coronavirus lockdowns have delivered Australia’s first recession in over 30 years; unemployment rates - already climbing - are set to skyrocket when the JobKeeper employment subsidy to businesses runs out in September; close … Continue reading JobSeeker: Australia’s Economic Recovery Demands End to Subsidies For Unreliable Wind & Solar
Keepin’ It Real: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
There might be a substitute to coal, gas and nuclear power out there somewhere. But it isn’t chaotically intermittent wind and solar, whether with or without mythical mega-batteries. Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans has done a couple of things. First, it’s sent the crony capitalists profiteering from subsidised renewable energy into a tailspin and … Continue reading Keepin’ It Real: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
Profiting From Power: Subsidised Renewable Energy Nothing More Than State Sponsored Theft
The real delight of Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans is watching the climate cult squirm, as those on the left sink the boots in. Of course, those who have been pointing out that heavily subsidised and hopelessly unreliable wind and solar offer no solution to our purported planetary perils are relishing the opportunity to … Continue reading Profiting From Power: Subsidised Renewable Energy Nothing More Than State Sponsored Theft
