Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie, as does Denmark and South Australia, which each jockey for line honours in the world’s highest power prices stakes. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless … Continue reading Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit

Short Supply: Sunset & Calm Weather Deliver Total Chaos Wherever Reliance Placed On Renewables
No country has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes; no country ever will. Those countries that have placed any substantial reliance on intermittent wind and solar are watching power prices rocket and face grids on the brink of total collapse. Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia set the pace. Now, that disaster … Continue reading Short Supply: Sunset & Calm Weather Deliver Total Chaos Wherever Reliance Placed On Renewables
Unbearable Burden: Mounting Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Crushing Poorest Power Consumers
It’s an unassailable fact: add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and power prices skyrocket. South Australians, Danes and Germans fight for line honours over which of their proletariat suffers the world’s highest power prices. As to the Australian states hooked up to the Eastern Grid, Dr Michael Crawford’s simple … Continue reading Unbearable Burden: Mounting Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar Crushing Poorest Power Consumers
With Wind & Solar’s Days Over, Who Cleans Up Europe’s Renewable Energy Mess?
Across Europe, investment in new wind and solar is in freefall. So far this year, the Germans installed a measly 35 of these things onshore. As their massive subsidies get cut and furious rural residents revolt, the wind and solar industries are facing their inevitable Armageddon. The inevitable surge in power prices and grid chaos … Continue reading With Wind & Solar’s Days Over, Who Cleans Up Europe’s Renewable Energy Mess?
Beggaring Belief: No Sensible German Believes in Wind & Solar ‘Transition’, Anymore
Mainstream media have gone quiet on Germany’s ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun powered future. The debacle that’s playing out in Deutschland apparently doesn’t suit their narrative, anymore. It’s like kids hanging onto the belief that Santa Claus is real, long after they've tumbled to the fact that it's their fat Uncle … Continue reading Beggaring Belief: No Sensible German Believes in Wind & Solar ‘Transition’, Anymore
‘Clean’ Energy Kaput: Germany’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ An Inevitable & Total Failure
Germany is the world leader when it comes to wind and solar and worth following, if you’re keen to return to the Dark Ages. Germans suffer Europe’s highest power prices - right up there with wind ‘powered’ Denmark and just behind South Australia, Australia’s wind and solar capital - which tops the list. Its so-called … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Kaput: Germany’s ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ An Inevitable & Total Failure
Seriously Shortchanged: Germans to Squander €4.6 Trillion on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Get 2.5% of Their Energy In Return
If the recent and idiotic obsession with intermittent wind and solar needed a pinup girl, it would have to be Germany. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless sea of solar panels. For all that wanton environmental destruction, Germans get a meagre 2.5% of their primary energy demand satisfied by … Continue reading Seriously Shortchanged: Germans to Squander €4.6 Trillion on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Get 2.5% of Their Energy In Return
German Obsession with Wind & Solar Means Power Prices Set To Keep Skyrocketing
Germany’s renewable energy transition is an unmitigated disaster: 5 million households are struggling to pay their power bills and 340,000 have been cut from the grid, because they can’t. The push towards a mythical all wind and sun powered future continues apace. Notwithstanding it’s a technical and physical impossibility. Germans happily drain nuclear power generated … Continue reading German Obsession with Wind & Solar Means Power Prices Set To Keep Skyrocketing
Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
The relationship between intermittent renewables and rocketing power prices is pretty obvious, just ask a Dane, German or South Australian. These joints have a couple of things in common: heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent renewable energy and the world’s highest power prices. That, well-settled, relationship is universal, as Fancis Menton documents below. How Much Do … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
Germany’s wind and solar experiment has failed: the so-called ‘Energiewende’ (energy transition) has turned into an insanely costly debacle. German power prices have rocketed; blackouts and load shedding are the norm; and once bucolic farmland has been turned into industrial wastelands (see above). Hundreds of billions of euros have been squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, … Continue reading Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
