There’s something altogether pathetic about those that push wind and solar as the path to an energy Utopia. A place where unicorns, fairies and pixies are in charge and numbers get treated with contempt. Numbers such as those collected by Frances Menton and Robert Bryce in the pieces below. Numbers that demonstrate that, after almost … Continue reading Energy Numbers: Decades of Data Detail Wind & Solar’s Pathetic Performance

Pulping Fiction: Why The Wind & Solar Transition Ain’t Happening (Now or Ever)
Big claims and loose talk about the grand wind and solar energy ‘transition’ don’t make it so. And there is no shortage of either, with myth and mantra being the order of the day. Notwithstanding a staggering and rapid increase in the amount of money squandered on wind and solar, their relative contribution to world … Continue reading Pulping Fiction: Why The Wind & Solar Transition Ain’t Happening (Now or Ever)
World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
The hackneyed claim that wind and solar power are ‘clean’ and ‘green’ doesn’t stand first contact with reality. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent - after a decade or so … Continue reading World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
Energy Matters: Why Wind & Solar Make Trivial Contribution to World’s Energy Needs
Notwithstanding the $billions in subsidies directed to wind and solar, their joint contribution to energy demand amounts to little more than a rounding error. Oil and gas still account for more than 80% of world energy demand and talk about an ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future, remains just that. Energy … Continue reading Energy Matters: Why Wind & Solar Make Trivial Contribution to World’s Energy Needs
Nothing Sustainable About Wind & Solar Power Generation – Except Massive Government Subsidies
After 30 years of operation, enterprises that would collapse overnight without massive subsidies ain’t “industries” - which is what wind and large-scale solar outfits spuriously claim to be. And when RE rent seekers talk about their “sustainable” business model, that’s just code for ensuring that those massive subsidies outlast religion. Following that theme, Robert Bradley … Continue reading Nothing Sustainable About Wind & Solar Power Generation – Except Massive Government Subsidies
