The trouble with reality is that eventually crushes delusions and wishful thinking, just like the notion we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Hope collides pretty quickly with the inherent failing of power generators that can’t deliver on demand. No one cares much for freezing or boiling in the dark. And no … Continue reading Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality

New Anti-Fossil Fuel Puritans Set New Standard in Blatant Ignorance & Gross Hypocrisy
If it looks and sounds like a deranged cult, it probably is. The latest wheeze is pretending that functional, civil societies can live without coal, oil and gas. It’s perfect nonsense, to be sure, and symptomatic of an uneducated cohort who haven’t the faintest idea about what makes their safe and utterly privileged little lives … Continue reading New Anti-Fossil Fuel Puritans Set New Standard in Blatant Ignorance & Gross Hypocrisy
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
Heartless: Renewable Energy Advocates Hate the Poor & Want to Keep Them That Way
Since World War II affordable power was regarded as a birthright: RE obsessed virtue signallers have destroyed that notion in a heartbeat. In California, compassion is a rare commodity among those promoting and profiting from subsidised wind and solar. Seminal Californian Punk outfit, the Dead Kennedys seem to have foreshadowed their State’s insane energy policy with … Continue reading Heartless: Renewable Energy Advocates Hate the Poor & Want to Keep Them That Way
Michael Shellenberger: Let’s Get Serious, Let’s Go Nuclear
Very few climate warriors bother to advocate for nuclear power, which is a fair indication of what’s driving them. If CO2 really was about to destroy the planet, Extinction Rebellion, Greta and her worshippers would be talking about switching to nuclear power like their lives depended on it. Instead, for reasons that escape the … Continue reading Michael Shellenberger: Let’s Get Serious, Let’s Go Nuclear
Cancel Culture: Michael Shellenberger Censored For Exposing Climate Industrial Complex
The media’s obsession with cataclysmic climate change is matched only by their fixation on unreliable wind and solar power as the only solution. That narrative has been tortured for more than 20 years, now. But even among their own ilk, the “only more subsidies for wind turbines and solar panels will save us” narrative has … Continue reading Cancel Culture: Michael Shellenberger Censored For Exposing Climate Industrial Complex
Michael Shellenberger Exposes Climate Industrial Complex in ‘Apocalypse Never’
Climate alarmists continue to berate us that the world is doomed and the only ‘solution’ offered is channelling $trillions more in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar. Their calls for ‘immediate action’ really means more of the same: more subsidies for more windmills and more solar panels; which really means the end of reliable and … Continue reading Michael Shellenberger Exposes Climate Industrial Complex in ‘Apocalypse Never’
‘Green’ Cult Chief Finally ‘Sees The Light’: And It’s Powered by Nuclear Energy
Extinction Rebellion’s pasty-faced and ghoulish-looking members aren’t renowned for their common sense on energy matters. But - in a road to Damascus moment - one of its leading lights, the aptly named Zion Lights has, indeed, seen the light. And it’s one powered by nuclear energy. Instead of dressing up like an extra in … Continue reading ‘Green’ Cult Chief Finally ‘Sees The Light’: And It’s Powered by Nuclear Energy
RE Rent Seekers Become Virus Victims: Wind & Solar Investment Collapses Post-Pandemic
Desperate times, call for desperate measures and there’s no group more desperate than the wind and solar ‘industries’. With the global economy in meltdown - thanks to crippling and seemingly interminable coronavirus lockdowns - investment in the unreliables has plummeted. In the USA, the wind and solar sector lost 106,000 jobs in March, with many … Continue reading RE Rent Seekers Become Virus Victims: Wind & Solar Investment Collapses Post-Pandemic
Michael Shellenberger: Sorry, But I Cried Wolf on Climate Change
If climate change is a problem, then wind turbines and solar panels aren’t a solution: heavily subsidised and unreliable wind and solar are an economic and environmental disaster. When climate alarmists managed to hijack energy (and with it economic) policy it was a case of lunatics taking over the asylum. In every breath they exhort … Continue reading Michael Shellenberger: Sorry, But I Cried Wolf on Climate Change
