Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land

Whether it’s pristine ancient forests or prime agricultural land, wind and solar outfits will destroy it in a heartbeat. If left to the cynical rent-seeking class, there won’t be an inch of the planet worth saving, after they have carpeted it with millions of acres of part-time power producing panels and speared millions of these … Continue reading Big & Ugly: Wind and Solar Rollout Devouring World’s Best Land

Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power

The occasional generators - wind and solar deliver trivial amounts of electricity and take the best part of a continent to do it. Where land use matters, and it almost always matters, their lack of energy density is yet another reason why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power generation sources; not now, … Continue reading Lack of Concentration: Wind & Solar Use Vast Tracts of Land to Deliver Occasional Power

Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future

Wind and solar generation spreads like cancer. Dilute and diffuse, intermittent and unreliable the wind and solar generators’ demand for land is insatiable. And because every single MW of wind or solar generation capacity has to be backed up by another MW of dispatchable power generation (coal, gas, diesel or hydro) to accommodate sunset and … Continue reading Safe & Reliable Nuclear Power Provides Cleanest, Greenest Energy Future

Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar

It’s not just wind and solar power’s pathetic performance that makes the whole virtue signalling exercise so utterly pointless. It’s also the fact that, to generate anything other than a trivial amount of electricity, you need the best part of a continent’s land area to do it. To accommodate 2,000 MW of coal, gas or … Continue reading Land Hunger Games: Biden’s Plan to Carpet America With Energy Diffuse Wind & Solar
