Germany set the gold standard for idiotic renewable energy policies, although the Brits, Californians, Texans and South Australians are keen contenders for that glittering prize. 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

Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Europe’s insatiable appetite for unreliable wind and solar has left Europeans hungry for any kind of power, provided it’s available on demand. The French have rebooted investment in their 56 existing nuclear plants and are planning a further 14 to add to their enviable fleet. The Brits and the Germans are stoking up their ‘ageing’ … Continue reading Blown Away: Counting The Cost of Europe’s Self-Made Renewable Energy Crisis
Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket
Rocketing power prices were inevitable once Europe decided to put all its energy eggs in the wind power basket. Europe has squandered billions on subsidies to construct tens of thousands of turbines both onshore and off - the Germans managed to spear more than 30,000 across their homeland and are paying a hefty price. By … Continue reading Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket
Reaping The Whirlwind: Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession Sends Power Prices Rocketing
Europeans have squandered untold $billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The only evident results being routine power rationing, blackouts and power prices doubling every 12 months, or so. The article below from Bloomberg lays it out fairly clearly: those countries obsessed with wind and solar are literally reaping the whirlwind, as power prices spiral … Continue reading Reaping The Whirlwind: Europe’s Wind & Solar Obsession Sends Power Prices Rocketing
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
Germans Brace For Energy Catastrophe: Prices Set to Triple When Nuclear & Coal Plants Close
Germany’s so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar is an unmitigated disaster: power prices have rocketed and more blackouts loom this winter, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Hellbent on self-destruction, the Germans are planning to kill off their last remaining nuclear power plants and are equally determined to axe all of their … Continue reading Germans Brace For Energy Catastrophe: Prices Set to Triple When Nuclear & Coal Plants Close
Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Wind power is, by definition, a wholly weather-dependent power source. So, it should come as no surprise that - whenever a burst of calm-weather hits - those charged with responsibility for delivering power, as and when we need it, scramble to obtain it from any convenient and, more importantly, reliable source. Which is why Germany … Continue reading Dead-Calm Weather Killing ‘Inevitable’ Renewable Energy ‘Transition’
Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, the price gouging by the owners of reliable power generation plant, begins. When those paragons of corporate virtue that ran Enron started ripping off Californian power consumers during the late 1990s, they did it by shutting down gas pipelines and pretending gas-fired power plants were off-line … Continue reading Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
Some ‘Transition’: German Wind Power Output Plummets 20%: Coal-Fired Power Generation Jumps 38%
Germany’s 30,000 wind turbines continue to disappoint those who reckon ‘coal is dead’. In the first half of 2021, wind power output plummeted by more than 20%, whereas Germany’s coal-fired power generators increased output by a whopping 38% over the same period. So much for Germany’s ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun … Continue reading Some ‘Transition’: German Wind Power Output Plummets 20%: Coal-Fired Power Generation Jumps 38%
Energy Transition: Germans Revolt Against Wind Power – As Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
Germany’s wind power transition has hit the wall: rural Germans are sick and tired of the noise, ruined landscapes and communities; and Germans of all persuasions are fed up with Europe’s highest power prices, which continue to rocket as a consequence of its so-called ‘renewable energy transition’ aka the ‘Energiewende’. Thanks to massive subsidies and … Continue reading Energy Transition: Germans Revolt Against Wind Power – As Power Prices Spiral Out of Control
