The trouble with reality is that eventually crushes delusions and wishful thinking, just like the notion we’ll soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Hope collides pretty quickly with the inherent failing of power generators that can’t deliver on demand. No one cares much for freezing or boiling in the dark. And no … Continue reading Eco-Warrior’s Wind & Solar Greenwishing Can’t Survive First Contact With Reality

Natural Limits: World’s Mineral Supply Can’t Match Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Demands
The climate cult reckons we’re well on our way to an all-wind and solar-powered future. But with the wind and solar industries’ demand for raw materials - like copper - already outstripping supply, the grand ‘transition’ will soon hit some very natural limits. Inside every giant industrial wind turbine, there’s a bevy of rare minerals which … Continue reading Natural Limits: World’s Mineral Supply Can’t Match Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Demands
Sick Joke: Nothing ‘Green’ About California’s All Electric Vehicle Mandates
There’s nothing wrong in theory about all-Electric Vehicles. But, if they really were a sensible substitute for petrol or diesel-powered vehicles, they’d already be jumping off the shelves. Except, for some strange reason, they aren’t. There’s plenty of irony attached to the all-EV cult: the world’s largest EV charging station is run entirely using diesel … Continue reading Sick Joke: Nothing ‘Green’ About California’s All Electric Vehicle Mandates
Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies
The millions of solar panels and hundreds of thousands of turbine blades already ground up in landfills means there’s absolutely nothing ‘renewable’ about wind or solar. The term ‘renewable’ is just another monstrous abuse of the English language perpetrated by a cult that would have us believe the unbelievable by ignoring the bleeding obvious: weather-dependent … Continue reading Only Thing That’s ‘Renewable’ About Wind & Solar: Massive & Endless Subsidies
‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles all critically depend upon a raft of minerals known as ‘rare earths’, as well as mountains of copper and cobalt. With the exponential increase in demand for minerals comes an exponential growth in the mountains of toxic filth left behind during mining and processing those minerals. The minerals … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Demand For Rare Earths Driving Wholesale Environmental Destruction
Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Wistful children playing in flowery fields beneath fleets of whirling wonders is how the wind industry sells itself. The reality ain’t so pretty. Embedded in every 300 tonne juggernaut is a bevy of minerals and a mountain of energy used to create the feelgood fiction that the kiddies are safely frolicking beneath a truly useful … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Nothing Renewable About Mineral & Energy-Hungry Wind & Solar
Dream On: Finite Mineral Resources Mean Grand Wind & Solar Transition Must Inevitably Fail
As the grand delusion of an all-wind and sun-powered future unravels in Europe, rational thinkers are turning to the insatiable demand for minerals that comes with the ‘inevitable transition’ and pointing out that what's contemplated is not only impossible, but simply ludicrous. The volumes of high-value minerals such as copper and aluminium required in every … Continue reading Dream On: Finite Mineral Resources Mean Grand Wind & Solar Transition Must Inevitably Fail
‘Green’ Fraud: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring The Planet’s Scarce Resources
Rent-seekers and the MSM keep telling us the transition to an all-wind and sun-powered future is not only inevitable, it's a cinch. The power pricing and supply calamity playing out in renewables-obsessed Germany and Britain stands as a pretty fair counterpoint, to that nonsense. Then, we’re told, it can all be done, provided it's “done … Continue reading ‘Green’ Fraud: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Devouring The Planet’s Scarce Resources
Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Incapable of delivering power as and when we need it, wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources. But, as a source of insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources they are first rate. Wind turbines and solar panels devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Their insatiable mineral demand (and … Continue reading Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Total Flop: Nothing ‘Inevitable’ About So-called ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
A mixture of wishful thinking and childish pipedreams, there’s nothing inevitable about the so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar - Sunset remains a fixed feature of daily life, as does stubbornly calm weather. But the acolyte and rent seeker would have us believe that these natural phenomena are either trivial obstacles to be overcome - … Continue reading Total Flop: Nothing ‘Inevitable’ About So-called ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
