Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ continues to unravel, with the Dutch the latest to ditch the pitch to so-called ‘renewables’. Small (geographically) and industrious, the Dutch have always managed to punch well above their weight, dominating seafaring trade through history and, these days, producing a staggeringly large proportion of the foodstuffs that are consumed around … Continue reading Grand Energy ‘Transition’ Unravels: Power-Starved Dutch Ditch Renewables & Go For Gas

How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar
The apparent object of the wind and solar ‘transition’ is to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies. The evidence suggests we are well on our way. Hijacked by ideologues with arts degrees and bankrolled by crony capitalists ready to make a fast buck, at your expense, energy policy is playing out as one almighty nightmare … Continue reading How to Wreck Power Supplies: Add Subidised Wind & Solar
Part-Time Power: US Industry Told to Stop Work After Sunset & During Calm Weather
Wind and sunshine might be ‘free’, but good luck getting wind or solar power when the wind stops blowing and the sun sets, at any price. Wind and solar rent seekers are eager to tell us how cheap wind and solar are compared to coal, nuclear and gas. Attempting to compare weather-dependent wind and sunshine … Continue reading Part-Time Power: US Industry Told to Stop Work After Sunset & During Calm Weather
‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
Democratic civil societies were built on having access to energy as and when their citizens need it. Which tends to suggest that the grand wind and solar transition is as uncivilised and undemocratic as it gets. The idea of consumers demanding a commodity with benefits and paying for those benefits in return is pretty much … Continue reading ‘New’ Virtual Power Plants Mean More Draconian Government Demand Control
Renewables Transition: ‘Demand Management’ Means Accepting Bribes to Suffer Blackouts
When the bulk of your power needs are supposed to come from sunshine and breezes, get ready for a lot of disappointment. Total collapses in wind and solar output routinely lead to large-scale, controlled blackouts - euphemistically known as ‘demand management’. Where smart meters are in play, the grid manager helpfully does it for you; … Continue reading Renewables Transition: ‘Demand Management’ Means Accepting Bribes to Suffer Blackouts
Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Far from threatening human existence, coal and gas have, once again, literally saved thousands of American lives. A bout of what is now known as ‘extreme weather’ demonstrates how extremely stupid it is to rely upon sunshine and breezes for power. During December’s Big Freeze, millions of America’s solar panels were carpeted in snow and … Continue reading Frozen Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Leave Thousands of Americans Freezing In The Dark
Wind & Solar Transition Means Transition to Power Rationing & Rocketing Power Bills
When the sun sets and calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought at any price. Increase the capacity of the unreliables connected to your grid and get ready for not only rocketing power bills, but routine power rationing. Once upon a time, electricity was cheap and it flowed like running water. … Continue reading Wind & Solar Transition Means Transition to Power Rationing & Rocketing Power Bills
Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
Wind and solar generators happily take credit when the sun’s up and the wind’s blowing, but dodge all criticism when blackouts follow sunset and/or calm weather. The standard trick is to point in every direction - except the obvious - when power rationing (euphemistically called “demand management”) or unplanned power rationing (aka widespread blackouts) follows … Continue reading Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages
No Mystery: Calm Weather & Sunset Root Cause of Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
The relationship between weather-dependent wind/sunshine dependent solar and rocketing power prices is crystal clear, so too the post ‘transition’ phenomenon of power rationing caused by sunset and/or calm weather. Australia isn’t alone in experiencing a power pricing and supply calamity, all its very own making; Germans, Danes and Californians have enjoyed much the same and … Continue reading No Mystery: Calm Weather & Sunset Root Cause of Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Net-Zero ‘Green’ Reset Designed to Destroy Our Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets are designed to destroy the reliable and affordable power supplies that have brought prosperity to billions around the globe. Dressed up in marketing blurb, net-zero targets sound cheap, but with energy supplies there is no such thing as a free lunch. Plenty of household and businesses have already worked … Continue reading Net-Zero ‘Green’ Reset Designed to Destroy Our Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
