Reliable Coal-Fired Power Only Antidote to Australia’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Chaos

Blowing up coal-fired power plants comes with a staggering price tag and Australia’s power consumers are paying it, with another round of 20-30% increases in retail power prices only a couple of months away. And that crushing blow sits on top of the routine annual double-digit increases, they’ve been suffering over the last decade.

If you’re not already suffering the consequences … Continue reading Goodbye Glasgow – Hello Energy Poverty: The Staggering True Cost of Wind & Solar

Court Out: Judge Finds Gas-Fired Power Better For Environment Than Wind & Solar

All care and no responsibility, the wind and solar advocate is quick to ignore every environmental downside that comes with wind turbines and solar panels. However, the Minnesota Court of Appeals wasn’t ready to accept the argument that wind and solar are as gentle on the environment as the sunshine and breezes that occasionally power … Continue reading Court Out: Judge Finds Gas-Fired Power Better For Environment Than Wind & Solar

And, whereas, the latter is available around-the-clock, the former is available when Mother Nature deems fit. And she tends to be a temperamental, old cow. One particular wheeze among Britain’s renewable … Continue reading Boris Blown Away: True Cost of PM’s Offshore Wind Power Plan is Absolutely Staggering
