The hopes of renewable energy investors depend on subsidies to wind and solar lasting forever. Sadly, for those with skin in the game, the longevity of the subsidies, targets, mandates, penalties and fines - that make intermittent wind and solar profitable - are limited. The idea was, of course, that after a decade or so … Continue reading Solar Eclipsed: Renewable Energy Investors Fret as Share Price Plummets

Die Already: When Will the Wind and Solar ‘Industries’ Finally Collapse?
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are a pair that can’t survive without massive and endless subsidies, which means their days are numbered. Their ultimate demise is a matter of when, not if. The wind back in subsidies across Europe has all but destroyed the wind industry: in Germany this year a trifling 60 onshore wind turbines … Continue reading Die Already: When Will the Wind and Solar ‘Industries’ Finally Collapse?
Renewables ‘Transition’ Terminated: With Their Subsidies Slashed, the Honeymoon for Wind & Solar is Over
Like a bride jilted at the altar, the wind and solar ‘industries’ are moaning about what could have been. Plenty of RE zealots managed to convince themselves that these so-called ‘industries’ were actually sustainable; that the subsidies that created them would ultimately prove unnecessary, or if not, taxpayers and power consumers would merrily pay … Continue reading Renewables ‘Transition’ Terminated: With Their Subsidies Slashed, the Honeymoon for Wind & Solar is Over
WSJ Dares to Doubt: What if Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Aren’t ‘Inevitable’, After All?
When the Wall Street Journal starts to question the inevitability of our ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future, you know the gig is up. Until now, the WSJ has been a champion for the wind and solar ‘industries’ in the US. Playing to the myth that the wind and sun are ‘free’, … Continue reading WSJ Dares to Doubt: What if Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Aren’t ‘Inevitable’, After All?
Game Over: Europe’s Great Renewables Rush Faces Armageddon
Death and taxes are certainties, so is the fact that wind and solar investment disappears just as soon the subsidies are cut. Without massive (and seemingly endless) subsidies we wouldn’t be having this conversation: there would have been no such thing as wind and solar power, on any scale, or at all. Twelve countries in … Continue reading Game Over: Europe’s Great Renewables Rush Faces Armageddon
Flat Broke & Busted: German Wind Turbine Maker Senvion’s Spectacular Financial Collapse
Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear in a heartbeat. The business model (read 'colossal government mandated scam') has all the hallmarks of an enormous Ponzi scheme - the wind industry's demise is a matter of when, not if. The withdrawal of subsidies across Europe has taken its toll, as the number of … Continue reading Flat Broke & Busted: German Wind Turbine Maker Senvion’s Spectacular Financial Collapse
Europe’s Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse: No New Wind Farms Built Since 2017
RE zealots tout rapidly increasing wind power capacity as ‘success’. Except, in Europe a dozen countries haven’t erected a single turbine during 2018, and that coincides with a massive slowdown in construction elsewhere. As you tread your way through the following article, be sure to ignore the usual rubbish about this wind farm ‘powering’ hundreds … Continue reading Europe’s Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse: No New Wind Farms Built Since 2017
Climate Con-Job: You Know It’s a Ponzi Scheme When Pure Fantasy Has a Colossal Price
The wind industry is just the latest and largest in a long line of great Ponzi schemes, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind industry, the scam is all about pitching bogus projected returns (based on overblown wind “forecasts”) (see our posts here and here and here and here); claiming that wind turbines will run for 25 years, without the need … Continue reading Climate Con-Job: You Know It’s a Ponzi Scheme When Pure Fantasy Has a Colossal Price
D-Day For Australia’s Energy Debacle: End of Bipartisan Support Means End for Wind & Solar
As desperate as they are silly, Australia’s renewable energy rent-seekers and the zealots that do their bidding have called in an airstrike on their own position. Making nonsensical claims that adding even more heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will lead to substantial reductions in retail power prices, has exposed these people for … Continue reading D-Day For Australia’s Energy Debacle: End of Bipartisan Support Means End for Wind & Solar
Threat to Endless Subsidies Sends Australia’s Renewable Energy Companies Into Meltdown
Wind and solar power were both founded on lies and myth, and can only exist when and where massive subsidies are practically perpetual. Now that it’s become impossible for them to hide the obvious relationship between intermittent wind and solar and rocketing power prices and grid instability, the pleading to maintain the subsidies that sustain them, … Continue reading Threat to Endless Subsidies Sends Australia’s Renewable Energy Companies Into Meltdown
