Thanks to its unhinged obsession with intermittent wind and solar, Germans are in the midst of a power pricing and supply calamity. Suffering Europe’s highest power prices, is just the … Continue reading Dumb & Dumber: Germany Wins Prize For World’s Most Idiotic Energy Policy
Energy Deficient: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Faces Long Dark Winter
With another bitter winter biting and suicidal renewable energy policies, Germans are reaping the whirlwind. Suffering Europe’s highest power prices and routine power rationing, is just the beginning. Mass blackouts and deliberate power cuts, like those suffered last winter, are guaranteed. Such is life when you attempt to run on sunshine and breezes. Prof. Fritz … Continue reading Energy Deficient: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germany Faces Long Dark Winter
No Plan B: Germany’s Crazy Reliance on Wind & Solar Guarantees Mass Blackouts
Germany is a heartbeat away from a massive nationwide blackout, and yet its government is oblivious. Warnings from grid managers and its own Audit Office are being ignored. Believing that it will be able to close all of its nuclear power plants as scheduled, the German government continues in its attempt to defy reality. When … Continue reading No Plan B: Germany’s Crazy Reliance on Wind & Solar Guarantees Mass Blackouts
Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
Germany’s renewable energy ‘transition’ has turned into high farce: a week after it forced the shutdown of 11 coal-fired power plants, it was forced to reopen them to avoid mass blackouts. German power prices - already the highest in Europe (if not the world) - are running out of control. The recent legislated ban … Continue reading Big Backpedal: A Week After Shutting its Coal-Fired Plants Germany Forced to Reopen Them
Germany’s Renewables ‘Transition’ Means World’s Highest Power Prices & Power Rationing
Germany’s wind and solar transition aka the “Energiewende” is a monstrous debacle: power prices have rocketed out-of-control and wintertime power rationing is the new normal, thanks to the combination of solar panels plastered in ice, frozen wind turbines and dead calm frigid weather. Wind and solar obsessed Germans are now paying record prices for electricity. … Continue reading Germany’s Renewables ‘Transition’ Means World’s Highest Power Prices & Power Rationing
Coal Comfort: Total Collapse in Wind & Solar Output Leaves Freezing Germans Desperate for Coal-Fired Power
Germany’s held up as the world’s wind and solar capital. But, at the moment, the ‘green’ stuff can’t be purchased, at any price. Its millions of solar panels are blanketed in snow and ice and breathless, freezing weather is encouraging its 30,000 wind turbines to do absolutely nothing, at all. [Note to Ed: don’t forget … Continue reading Coal Comfort: Total Collapse in Wind & Solar Output Leaves Freezing Germans Desperate for Coal-Fired Power
Russia Revisited: Germany’s Winter Wind & Solar Drought Results in Soviet Style Power Rationing
Soviet shortages led to the gag about “what has 100 legs and eats cabbage?” 50 Muscovites lining up to buy sausage. Wind and solar obsessed Germans must feel a little like the USSR’s (unwilling) vegetarians at the moment. Their endless seas of solar panels are plastered thick with snow and ice and, accordingly, producing two … Continue reading Russia Revisited: Germany’s Winter Wind & Solar Drought Results in Soviet Style Power Rationing
Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
The renewable energy cult raves about the ‘inevitable transition’, pointing to Germany as the shining example, which it is, if your point is that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will inevitably drive power prices through the roof and leave hopeful power consumers freezing in the dark. No country went harder and faster … Continue reading Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar was never going to end well. Power prices are now the highest in Europe, if not the world. But paying for power is only a problem for those Germans who are lucky enough to be supplied with it. Wherever there’s an attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, … Continue reading Crunch Time: Germany’s Wind & Solar Disaster Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
