When the wind isn’t knocking the stuffing out of these things (see above), it struggles to keep them spinning as more turbines get added to any given location. Known as ‘wake effects’, every wind turbine downwind from another receives less air and/or a less direct flow of air towards its blades, reducing efficiency and therefore … Continue reading Power Vacuum: Adding More Turbines Means Less Wind Power Output

Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Germany’s fixation on subsidised wind and solar gave rise to the destruction of its once enviable nuclear power generation capacity. The so-called wind and solar transition aka the ‘Energiewende’ has been an unmitigated disaster, with perfectly avoidable and perfectly predictable power rationing and crushing power prices driving German manufacturing industries and businesses to the wall. … Continue reading Idiotic ‘No Nukes’ Policy Leaves Germans Scrambling For Reliable Power
Utter Madness: Solar Rush Destroys Germany’s Power Grid
Germany’s grand wind and solar transition is delivering perfectly predictable chaos. So much so its power grid is being driven to the brink of total collapse by the unchecked (and heavily subsidised) increase in intermittent solar generation, both large-scale and domestic. Those in charge of the grid have been pointing out the risk for years … Continue reading Utter Madness: Solar Rush Destroys Germany’s Power Grid
Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession
There’s no better example of how heavily subsidised wind and solar will wreck an economy than Germany. Over the last 20 years, the Germans have destroyed their once reliable and affordable power supplies and ‘replaced’ it with chaotically intermittent wind and solar; but without coal-fired power from Poland and nuclear power from France, Germans would … Continue reading Germany’s Manufacturing Industry Destroyed By Wind & Solar Obsession
Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy
As wind and solar capacity increases, Germany’s once thriving economy shrinks. And it’s the sudden and dramatic collapse in German industrial output that’s allowed the wind and sun cult to cry ‘victory’ with a claim - based on a statistical fudge - that Germany obtained 50% of its power from ‘renewable’ sources. Sitting behind the … Continue reading Halfway to Hell: Wind & Solar Transition Destroying German Economy
Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure
Germans were said to be rock-solid supporters of the grand ‘plan’ to run on nothing but wind and solar. Well, not anymore. Faced with Europe’s highest power prices (which are still rising at a staggering clip), routine power rationing and blackouts, the German populous seems to have fallen out of love with the notion of … Continue reading Political Power Failure: 88% of Germans Reckon Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Doomed to Failure
Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
Seems like only yesterday that Germany’s grand wind and solar transition was the talk of the town. Dubbed the “Energiewende”, it was meant to spell an inevitable end to nuclear and coal-fired power, which would soon be replaced by nothing other than forests of wind turbines and seas of solar panels. Well, that was what … Continue reading Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation
Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
Vlad Putin is being accused by pundits as the only reason why Europe's power prices are spiralling out of control. Not so. Sure, his grip on oil and gas supplies to Europe has put the squeeze on, particularly in Germany, but its so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ - was in serious strife … Continue reading Vladimir Putin Not Responsible For Germany’s Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Calamity
Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes
Germany’s so-called wind and solar ‘transition’ - the ‘Energiewende’ was in strife before Vlad Putin invaded Ukraine; post invasion, it’s a diabolical mess. German households and businesses are already suffering Europe's highest power prices; since Putin’s Ukrainian adventure began, German power prices have rocketed, further still, recently hitting a record 40 US cents per kWh. In … Continue reading Putin Delivers Germans Valuable Lesson: Forget About Running On Sunshine & Breezes
