The vacuous ninnies promoting the line that the world can run without hydrocarbons are always rattled by news to the contrary. As much a symptom of ideological groupthink, as evidence of the West’s woefully inadequate system of general education, the Extinction Rebellion crowd would have it that coal, oil and gas are forms of toxic … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar’s Contribution To World Energy Demand Will Always Be Trivial

‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
There is a cult that holds an unshakeable belief that wind and solar has already defeated coal, oil and gas. Not that there is any real contest. Indeed, without the hydrocarbons there would be no solar panels or wind turbines. Moreover, were we ever to attempt to rely on wind and solar power generation alone, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Lie Busted By World’s Increasing Reliance On Coal, Oil & Gas
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
Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
It only takes eighth grade mathematics and a little logic to work out that there will never be any grand transition to an all wind and sun-powered future - it’s an impossible dream, to top them all. As Leen Weijers explains below, the fact that this is even a subject for discussion is based on … Continue reading Impossible Dream: Busting The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth (With Numbers)
Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
Anyone familiar with the weather and sunset, could have told you it would never work; the grand renewable energy transition, that is. The wind and sun cult have been claiming outright victory for years, although the scoreboard doesn’t seem to reflect their exuberant claims. The future for coal-fired power has never looked brighter; China and … Continue reading Real Nowhere ‘Plan’: Why The Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Is Doomed to Failure
Hard Truths: COP Climate Cult Can’t Deal With Europe’s Monumental Wind & Solar Failure
The truth is hard and sometimes bitter, especially when it destroys everything you’ve believed in, which is why Europe’s grand wind and solar fail has upset the climate cultists who keep screaming that the world is on the brink of imminent self-immolation. The panacea, they say, is more of the very thing that’s destroyed reliable … Continue reading Hard Truths: COP Climate Cult Can’t Deal With Europe’s Monumental Wind & Solar Failure
Wicked Waste: Nothing to Show From $3.8 Trillion Squandered On Intermittent Wind & Solar
The wild claims about wind and solar replacing, coal, gas and nuclear power don’t stand first contact with reality. Over the last 20 years, trillions of dollars have been squandered on subsidies, tax breaks, mandates, penalties, and other state-directed efforts to make chaotically intermittent wind and solar serious contenders on the world energy scene. Their … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Nothing to Show From $3.8 Trillion Squandered On Intermittent Wind & Solar
Highway to Hell: World’s Big Banks Baulk at Suicidal Net-Zero Emissions Pathway
The big-money has just worked out that going ‘woke’ means going broke. Sure, a little cynical greenwashing doesn’t hurt corporate reputation with the MSM and Twitterati, but shareholders and markets tend to take a sterner view. Financiers were among the first to sign up to models which limited their finance to fossil fuel producers and … Continue reading Highway to Hell: World’s Big Banks Baulk at Suicidal Net-Zero Emissions Pathway
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
Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
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 Big Green Lie: Why Endless Subsidies to Wind & Solar Won’t Make The Weather Any Better
