A month or so back, Germany’s green-infested government was talking up the end of coal and nuclear power plants; the last phase in its ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun-powered future, as the wind and sun cult would have it. Well. That was then, this is now. With the squeeze on Russian gas … Continue reading No End Date For Coal & Nuclear: Gas Crunch Drives Germany’s Grand Renewables Backflip

Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-4gnNz0vc That the West has become weak and silly, is best exemplified by its concerted efforts to wreck hitherto reliable and affordable energy supplies. While policy wonks will argue forever about the precise casus belli for Putin’s attack on Ukraine, it is unarguable that Europe’s insatiable demand for Russian oil and gas has allowed … Continue reading Reality Check: Europe’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar Transition Unwinds In Ukraine
Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Europe’s insatiable appetite for unreliable wind and solar has left Europeans hungry for any kind of power, provided it’s available on demand. The French have rebooted investment in their 56 existing nuclear plants and are planning a further 14 to add to their enviable fleet. The Brits and the Germans are stoking up their ‘ageing’ … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket
Rocketing power prices were inevitable once Europe decided to put all its energy eggs in the wind power basket. Europe has squandered billions on subsidies to construct tens of thousands of turbines both onshore and off - the Germans managed to spear more than 30,000 across their homeland and are paying a hefty price. By … Continue reading Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket
China & Russia Profit From West’s Ludicrous Obsession With Unreliable Wind and Solar
As Germany scrambles to secure the gas needed to prevent their wind and solar ‘powered’ grid from total collapse, Vladimir Putin is laughing all the way to the bank. And the Russians aren’t the only ones profiting from the West’s maniacal obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. China - with plenty of unwilling assistance … Continue reading China & Russia Profit From West’s Ludicrous Obsession With Unreliable Wind and Solar
Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Anyone looking for a taste of what the ‘transition’ to wind and solar might look like, need look no further than Europe. The best (worst) examples, Germany and the UK are in the middle of self-inflicted energy debacles, with many of their neighbours not far behind. Mass wind droughts - that lasted months at the … Continue reading Europe’s Self-Inflicted Energy Catastrophe Driven By Hopelessly Unreliable Wind & Solar
Scam Alert: How ‘Green’ Energy Companies Are Ripping You Off
So-called ‘green’ power suppliers are finally being called out for the scammers that they truly are. Their pitch was that they would only ever supply you with electrons - lovingly caressed from sunshine and breezes - for a fraction of the cost of power generated using coal, nuclear or gas. Western Europe’s recent Big Calm … Continue reading Scam Alert: How ‘Green’ Energy Companies Are Ripping You Off
Nature’s Revenge: Europe’s Big Calm Reveals Wind Power’s Hopeless Unreliability
Being unable to deliver electricity as and when power consumers demand it means wind power will never be a meaningful power generation source. So much has been revealed by the burst of calm weather that struck Western Europe last month. Call it Mother nature’s revenge. Where the wind power acolyte waffles on about the percentages … Continue reading Nature’s Revenge: Europe’s Big Calm Reveals Wind Power’s Hopeless Unreliability
No Solution to Wind Power’s Hopeless Intermittency: Cost Kills Big Battery Myth
The big wind drought in Europe has acolytes ranting about giant batteries saving the day. It’s a typical but delusional response to wind power’s hopeless intermittency. True enough, at the margins, it is possible to store electricity. But, the cost of doing so on any kind of scale is simply out of this world. Then … Continue reading No Solution to Wind Power’s Hopeless Intermittency: Cost Kills Big Battery Myth
Chasing Net-Zero Targets Without Nuclear Power Amounts to Assisted Economic Suicide
With no defined benefit and undisclosed costs, net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets amount to an assisted economic suicide pact. Countries serious about their economic future - eg China, India, Russia, Brazil and countless others - have no interest in signing up to a scheme that will merely enrich rent-seekers and crony capitalists but guarantee … Continue reading Chasing Net-Zero Targets Without Nuclear Power Amounts to Assisted Economic Suicide
