https://youtu.be/D_wkyZoIQ-o Listen to an ideologue, and you’d think the transition to an all wind and sun powered future is simply inevitable. Listen to an engineer, and you’ll soon understand that it is simply impossible. Reliable, dependable and affordable power supplies were the product of logic and reason - the discipline of methodical and ordered … Continue reading The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up

Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time, but notionally wind-powered Germans, Danes, Californians and South Australians might beg to differ; they already suffer the world's highest retail power prices, with worse to come. Nowhere in the world is there … Continue reading Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Renewable energy rent seekers keep spreading the lie about wind and solar being the cheapest form of power there is. Trouble is, there isn’t a shred of evidence to support claims about wind and solar being cheap. There never was. The position your country occupies on the table above is directly related to increased reliance … Continue reading Smoke & Mirrors: Claims About Wind & Solar Being Cheap Don’t Stand Contact With Reality
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
There’s a yawning gulf between what wind turbines and solar panels are capable of delivering and what’s actually delivered. Sunset and calm weather will do it every time. Terms like “capacity factor” and the “Levelized Cost Of Energy” are bandied about with great scientific certitude by renewable energy rent-seekers. As to the first, wind and … Continue reading Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
The wind and sun may be free, but wind and solar power are anything but. Hidden ‘green’ taxes, costs and charges, not to mention massive subsidies redirected from both taxpayers and power consumers to wind and solar generators are just the beginning. The market distortions created by those subsidies have wrecked the ability of conventional … Continue reading Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
Intermittent, Diffuse & Costly: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Power This Planet
The key to wealth and prosperity is reliable and affordable energy. Which is why the ‘unreliables’, wind and solar threaten both wealth and prosperity (except, of course, those wallowing in the obscene and seemingly endless subsidies paid to the owners of windmills and solar panels). Dr. Lars Schernikau, born and raised in Berlin, Germany studied … Continue reading Intermittent, Diffuse & Costly: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Power This Planet
So Simple: Fixing Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Crisis Easy As One, Two, Three
Solving Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity means killing subsidies for wind and solar and kickstarting nuclear power, by removing the ban that prohibits it. As Rafe Champion details below, there are three easy steps that would resolve the current debacle: killing off the subsidies for intermittent power generation; adding a capacity market to the … Continue reading So Simple: Fixing Australia’s Power Pricing & Supply Crisis Easy As One, Two, Three
On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
The relationship between rocketing power prices and chaotically intermittent wind and solar is crystal clear. Let’s call it Germany, Denmark and South Australia, where wind and solar obsessions have driven power prices into orbit. While RE zealots continue to chant the mantra that wind and solar are practically free, and getting cheaper all the time, … Continue reading On The Level: Why Unreliable Wind & Solar Increase Power Prices
If Wind Power Really is Cheap, Why Not Slash the Massive Subsidies?
competition noun: the activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others; an event or contest in which people take part in order to establish superiority or supremacy in a particular area; the person or people over whom one is attempting to establish one’s supremacy or superiority; … Continue reading If Wind Power Really is Cheap, Why Not Slash the Massive Subsidies?
