It’s like the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ suddenly lost its mojo. Wild claims and fanciful projections are giving way to a more sober reality. Demand for reliable and affordable energy, including electricity, continues to rise at rates that even the most ambitious wind and solar promoters can’t match. Soaring rhetoric is one thing, backing … Continue reading Frozen Reality: Why the Grand Wind & Solar Transition Just Ain’t Happening

Serious Energy: Coal, Oil & Gas Deliver Warmth, Light & Power All Day, Every Day
Coal, oil and gas, are truly modernising forces, lifting billions out of agrarian poverty - powering machines and driving industrialization. People called on fossil fuels, when they should be called hydrocarbon heroes. Access to reliable electricity provide an escape route for the impoverished, and hope for a less miserable future. Watch villagers in the Third … Continue reading Serious Energy: Coal, Oil & Gas Deliver Warmth, Light & Power All Day, Every Day
Fossil Fuel Dragged Us Out of Poverty & Delivers Prosperity For Everyone, Every Day
Fossil fuel is the catalyst for modernity: coal, then oil and gas, have driven the mechanization and industrialisation responsible for lifting billions out of agrarian poverty, and all in the space of little more than a century. A reliable supply of electricity allows the impoverished to escape the daily drudgery and misery of a life … Continue reading Fossil Fuel Dragged Us Out of Poverty & Delivers Prosperity For Everyone, Every Day
Markets Reject ‘Coal is Dead’ Mantra: Global Thermal Coal Prices Surge to All New Record
Mark Twain noted reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. So too, the ‘death’ of coal-fired power. For years, the wind and sun cult have been bleating triumphantly that ‘coal is dead’. Energy markets, however, don’t share their peculiar worldview. Thermal coal prices are off the charts, with record demand driving record prices: Australian thermal … Continue reading Markets Reject ‘Coal is Dead’ Mantra: Global Thermal Coal Prices Surge to All New Record
Coal Hard Fact: Fossil Fuel The Central Foundation For Modern Human Civilisation
The miserable misanthropes and neo-Marxists reckon that fossil fuels are an evil to be driven back to the depths from whence they came. Except, of course, when it comes to their own selfish energy needs. Spend a week gathering dung and twigs to cook meals over a smoky fire in an unlit hut, and you’ll … Continue reading Coal Hard Fact: Fossil Fuel The Central Foundation For Modern Human Civilisation
Old King Coal Trumps Wind & Solar: In An Energy Starved World the Black Stuff Still Rules
Wind and solar advocates keep carping that ‘coal is dead’, as if thermal power generation had gone the same way as the dodo and flared trousers. This wouldn't be the first time an obituary has been published way too early. Mark Twain noted that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. So too, coal-fired … Continue reading Old King Coal Trumps Wind & Solar: In An Energy Starved World the Black Stuff Still Rules
Renewables Rejected: Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power Driving Asian Coal Renaissance
Among the nonsense spouted by wind and solar acolytes is the line that coal is deader than the dodo. While the demise of the hapless, flightless bird was clearly due to human intervention, it’s the demands of humans for reliable and affordable power that’s brought coal back to life, particularly across energy-hungry Asia. The UN/Climate … Continue reading Renewables Rejected: Demand for Reliable & Affordable Power Driving Asian Coal Renaissance
Insatiable: Coal-Fired Power Continues its Dominance in Energy Hungry China
The anti-energy/anti-civilisation squad keep predicting the end of coal and coal-fired power. But in China and India the demand for the black stuff - and the cheap and reliable power it delivers - is insatiable, and rising. Notwithstanding a global economic wind down during the Covid-19 outbreak, Chinese demand for coal is about to reach … Continue reading Insatiable: Coal-Fired Power Continues its Dominance in Energy Hungry China
Fossil Fuelled-Fury: Record Demand for Australian Coal Drives ‘Greens’ Totally Insane
If you’re reading this post in Australia, you’re doing so thanks to coal. So, deal with it. Notwithstanding that their very lives depend upon it, the very mention of that Carboniferous mineral gives the climate cult foaming-at-the-mouth conniptions. This is a cohort who believe that humans are little more than cockroaches determined to devour … Continue reading Fossil Fuelled-Fury: Record Demand for Australian Coal Drives ‘Greens’ Totally Insane
