For the best part of 30 years, rent-seeking wind and solar outfits have claimed their (occasionally delivered) products are the cheapest around. Always overlooking the hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies and the benefits of punitive mandates and targets in their favour.

Although, the cultist prefers phrases such as ‘catastrophic climate change’, ‘lethal humidity’ or ‘global … Continue reading Mission Net-Zero: Climate Cult Determined To Destroy Civilisation From Within
Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
As the wind and sun cult would have it, the days of ‘dirty fossil fuels’ are done. Never mind that without coal, oil and gas the manufacture and construction of wind turbines and solar panels would be thoroughly impossible. Moreover, without coal-fired power plants and/or gas and diesel backup plants, we’ll all be sitting boiling … Continue reading Demand For Hydrocarbons Proves Wind & Solar No Match For Coal, Oil & Gas
Purely Ideological: No Hope of Ever Satisfying Net-Zero CO2 Targets With Wind & Solar
The wind and solar transition is just like every other grand 5-year-plan dreamt up by socialists, except the fact that crony capitalists are loving every minute of it.

The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up
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.
