Scottish Scandal: Government Squanders £600 Million on ‘Constraint Payments’ to Wind Power Outfits for Discarded Power
Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value. Indeed, when the gales rip across the Scottish Highlands and there’s a surfeit of wind power generated, that electricity can’t even be given away. Instead, taxpayers become the ‘buyers’ of last resort; not that they could never be called willing purchasers, … Continue reading Scottish Scandal: Government Squanders £600 Million on ‘Constraint Payments’ to Wind Power Outfits for Discarded Power
Texan Turmoil: True & Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Kept Hidden From Power Consumers
The hidden cost of attempting to rely upon sunshine and breezes is truly staggering, ask a German, Dane or South Australian about the power prices they suffer.

But it’s those subsidies that distort … Continue reading Hide & Seek: Market Distorting Subsidies Conceal True & Staggering Cost of Renewables

Failed Experiment: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Have Never Worked & Never Will
Three decades, massive subsidies and yet intermittent wind power’s contribution to world energy needs remains little more than a rounding error. Electricity that can’t be delivered as and when it’s needed has no commercial value; massive subsidies are the only ‘value’ that attracts investors to wind and solar. Cut the subsidies and wind and solar … Continue reading Failed Experiment: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Have Never Worked & Never Will
