The adage that ‘what goes up must come down’ doesn’t hold with wind power subsidies. And the idea that increasing those subsidies will naturally and inevitably result in more wind power output doesn’t hold water, either. We’re not talking about the daily - and day’s long - collapses in wind power output, but the total … Continue reading Wind Power Subsidies Keep Rising But Total Wind Power Output Keeps Falling

US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
The only thing scalable about wind and solar is the subsidies gouged from power consumers and/or taxpayers. While rent seekers can plant turbines and scatter solar panels from horizon to horizon, they can’t make the sun shine or the wind blow. Accordingly, sunset and/or calm weather makes the whole thing utterly pointless, at any scale. … Continue reading US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade
Why America’s Green Subsidies Are Making China’s Wind Turbine & Solar Panel Makers Rich
China is profiting nicely from the West’s maniacal obsession with subsidised wind and solar - it dominates the global market for solar panels, with plenty of unwilling assistance from its captive Uighur ethnic minority; and has picked up a solid share of the wind turbine market, thanks to cheap and reliable nuclear and coal-fired power. … Continue reading Why America’s Green Subsidies Are Making China’s Wind Turbine & Solar Panel Makers Rich
Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Once the engineers were banished and the bureaucrats took charge, the fate of reliable and affordable energy supplies was sealed. Trashing coal-fired power plants, demonising nuclear power and squandering untold $billions on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar would have never happened if the engineers were left alone to run the show. The results are difficult … Continue reading Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Massive Subsidies For Wind & Solar ‘Industries’: The Never, Never, Never-Ending Story
Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was over 37 years ago. And there was no lack of assistance in the form … Continue reading Massive Subsidies For Wind & Solar ‘Industries’: The Never, Never, Never-Ending Story
Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
Perplexed as to why your power bill just doubled? Then you’ll be pleased to know the answer is simple: massively subsidised wind and solar. Statisticians get excited when they can prove causation instead of mere correlation, which often depends upon the number of observations of a particular event of interest. With dozens of countries and … Continue reading Why Subsidising Intermittent Wind & Solar Drives Power Prices Through the Roof
Grand Theft: US Taxpayers Liable For $120,000,000,000 In Subsidies to Wind & Solar
In the absence of endless subsidies there would be no wind or solar industries. Period. The minute talk turns to cutting those subsidies, the rent-seekers profiting from the wind and solar scam scream ‘blue murder’. In the USA, the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time is on a scale and magnitude that would … Continue reading Grand Theft: US Taxpayers Liable For $120,000,000,000 In Subsidies to Wind & Solar
