Germany has been held up by renewable energy zealots as the shining example of how to run on sunshine and breezes. However, like its doppelgänger down under, South Australia, eventually and inevitably, reality bites. German householders and businesses (just like those in South Australia) are being belted by rocketing power prices and - every time … Continue reading German Wind Industry Collapse Imminent: Engineering Professor Deems ‘Energiewende’ Terminal

Germany’s Energiewende ‘Blown’ Away: Mutti Merkel’s Mauling Threatens Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Germany’s love affair with wind turbines and solar panels has clearly turned sour. During the winter just gone, with a total collapse in wind and solar power output, Germany had to scramble to keep its lights on using coal-fired power plants, resurrected to deal with a grid on the brink of collapse and nuclear power imported … Continue reading Germany’s Energiewende ‘Blown’ Away: Mutti Merkel’s Mauling Threatens Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Greens Founder Calls Germany’s Renewables Policy: “an Economic, Social and Ecological Disaster”
When people turn on wind power, it's a one-way proposition: they never, ever worship these things again. And when the convert was among those who first championed the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, they don't just quietly fall out of love, they tend to become the loudest critics of all; a bit … Continue reading Greens Founder Calls Germany’s Renewables Policy: “an Economic, Social and Ecological Disaster”
Germany’s Wind Power Debacle Worsens: Too Much Power One Day, None the Next
*** Like South Australians, Germans are attempting to run on sunshine and breezes and in both places the results have been an unmitigated disaster. When power output depends on the weather and whether the sun is up and the sky isn't clouded up, results can, as they say in marketing blurbs, 'vary'. During January of … Continue reading Germany’s Wind Power Debacle Worsens: Too Much Power One Day, None the Next
‘Reliance’ on Wind & Solar Pushes Germany’s Grid to the Brink of Collapse
Wind power in Germany doesn't just look chaotic, it is chaotic. Over the winter, Germany's weather dependent power system reached the very brink of collapse, as breezes became zephyrs and the sun spent the day-time hiding behind clouds and snow flurries. Germany Facing Mass Blackouts Because The Wind And Sun Won’t Cooperate The Daily Caller … Continue reading ‘Reliance’ on Wind & Solar Pushes Germany’s Grid to the Brink of Collapse
Political Storm Erupts: Hostile Germans Turn on Ugly, Costly & Ineffective Wind Power
Held up as the wind cult's poster girl, Germany went hard and fast, spearing tens of thousands of these things all over its, once cherished and pristine, landscape. The cost of its maniacal rush into massively subsidised wind and solar to German businesses and households has been astronomical and, in the mother of all ironies, … Continue reading Political Storm Erupts: Hostile Germans Turn on Ugly, Costly & Ineffective Wind Power
Germany’s Monumental Environmental Fail: CO2 Emissions Rise Despite €Trillions Blown on Subsidised Wind & Solar
In Germany, around €190 billion has already been burnt on renewable subsidies; currently the green energy levy costs €56 million every day. And, the level of subsidy for wind and solar sees Germans paying €20 billion a year for power that gets sold on the power exchange for around €2 billion. Energy poverty is a … Continue reading Germany’s Monumental Environmental Fail: CO2 Emissions Rise Despite €Trillions Blown on Subsidised Wind & Solar
Germany’s Energiewende Nightmare: Grid Collapse Looms Due to Erratic Wind & Solar
*** As it goes in South Australia, so it goes in Germany: the attempt to run on sunshine and breezes has led to rocketing power prices, energy poverty and a grid on the brink of collapse. Here's NoTricksZone on the German debacle. ‘Manager Magazin’ Reports How Renewable Electricity Is Taking Germany On A Wild Ride … Continue reading Germany’s Energiewende Nightmare: Grid Collapse Looms Due to Erratic Wind & Solar
