Mass civil unrest is odds-on in power starved Germany and Britain this winter, thanks to the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’. With thousands likely to freeze to death, the collective sense of humour will soon evaporate, along with any remaining faith in the ability of wind and solar to deliver power, as and when it’s … Continue reading Wind & Sun Can’t Deliver: So Power-Starved Germans Demand Nuclear Plants Remain Online

Vlad’s Victory: Europe Losing Energy War Thanks to Wind & Solar Obsession

Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, with prices still on the ascendant, German bureaucrats have been reduced to rationing energy of all descriptions at the micro level, in a way not seen since its postwar … Continue reading Cold Consequence: Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession Promises Very Bitter Winter Ahead
