The wind and solar industries are treating nuclear power like some kind of evil, arch-enemy. Fair enough. While the number of human fatalities caused by nuclear power generation would fit in a couple of school buses, the entire subsidised wind and solar scam faces total wipe out, simply because they can never compete - on … Continue reading Nuclear Fatality: Rent-Seekers Rage As Wind & Solar ‘Investment’ Collapses

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Leaves Germans Suffering Europe’s Highest Power Prices
German power prices, already the highest in Europe, have gone stratospheric. Once Europe’s industrial powerhouse, Germany is fast headed for economic ruin and social disaster. 20 years back, Germany’s Green/Socialist utopians - utterly detached from reality - dreamt up the ‘Energiewende’. However, the purported ‘transition’ to an all-wind and sun-powered future has turned dystopian nightmare. … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Leaves Germans Suffering Europe’s Highest Power Prices
Night-Time & Calm Weather: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Driving Power Prices Into Orbit
Chaotically intermittent wind and solar are at the heart of surging retail power bills. As wind and solar generation capacity increases, so do power prices. Call it an ‘immutable law’. No country that’s made any serious commitment to 'transitioning' to the ‘unreliables’ has seen power prices fall. No, the evidence is all the other way … Continue reading Night-Time & Calm Weather: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Driving Power Prices Into Orbit
Money For Nothing: Europe Squandered $Trillions On Weather-Dependent Part Time Power
Despite Europe spending €1.2 Trillion on large-scale wind and solar generation, the amount of power being actually delivered in return is risible. Which is precisely what you’d expect from power generation sources which can only deliver anything like their nameplate capacity when the sun is up, in a cloudless sky, and the wind is blowing … Continue reading Money For Nothing: Europe Squandered $Trillions On Weather-Dependent Part Time Power
Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Renewable energy rent seekers keep spreading the lie about wind and solar being the cheapest form of power there is. Trouble is, there isn’t a shred of evidence to support claims about wind and solar being cheap. There never was. The position your country occupies on the table above is directly related to increased reliance … Continue reading Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Critical Power Grab: How Putin Profits From The West’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Europe’s ‘inevitable’ transition to wind and solar is in tatters, as Vlad Putin rips up Ukraine and delivers an energy pricing and supply calamity to shellshocked Europeans. The idea that got them there was fairly simple: carpet Europe with millions of solar panels and wind turbines and use Russian oil and gas to keep the … Continue reading Critical Power Grab: How Putin Profits From The West’s Wind & Solar Obsession
Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
Try living a day without a reliable power supply; then try living a life-time without it. If the doomsday cult that’s thrusting hopelessly unreliable and insanely expensive wind and solar down our throats had its way, then that’s what a future ‘civilisation’ will look like. For those not willing to make an immediate sacrifice to … Continue reading Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Wind power is, by definition, a wholly weather-dependent power source. So, it should come as no surprise that - whenever a burst of calm-weather hits - those charged with responsibility for delivering power, as and when we need it, scramble to obtain it from any convenient and, more importantly, reliable source. Which is why Germany … Continue reading Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, the price gouging by the owners of reliable power generation plant, begins. When those paragons of corporate virtue that ran Enron started ripping off Californian power consumers during the late 1990s, they did it by shutting down gas pipelines and pretending gas-fired power plants were off-line … Continue reading Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
Cost Cover-up: German Government Hiding Massive Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
German power consumers now suffer Europe’s highest power prices, thanks to massive subsidies to unreliable wind and solar. With hundreds of thousands of households no longer able to afford power, and energy hungry, high-tech businesses shifting their operations to places like Singapore - where power is a tiny fraction of the cost - Germany’s renewables … Continue reading Cost Cover-up: German Government Hiding Massive Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
