The notion that we’ll soon be exclusively powered by wind and solar is an appalling delusion, but one which comes with a staggering price tag. Sure, the wind and sun are free, but attempting to rely upon chaotically generated wind and solar power is an altogether different prospect. Adding wind turbines and solar panels to … Continue reading Renewable Energy Delusion: Counting Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Obsession

The Hard Data: Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Inevitably Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
The relationship between rocketing power prices and heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar couldn’t be clearer. Every country that’s embarked on the so-called ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future is suffering from surging power prices. Add wind and solar generating capacity and watch power prices go into orbit, as … Continue reading The Hard Data: Why Subsidised Wind & Solar Inevitably Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Europe’s great wind drought continues, unabated. Adding to the wind industry’s woes, its claims that offshore wind power is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time have been totally torched - again. Over the last two years, Andrew Montford has been keeping a close eye on the financial reports produced by the UK’s offshore wind … Continue reading Totally Torched: Low-Cost Offshore Wind Power Claims Go Up In Smoke
Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Add intermittent wind and solar to a power grid and crippling power prices follow, as night follows day. When power generation and delivery was in the hands of engineers, coal and gas-fired plants ran efficiently and costs were low. Now that ideology reigns instead, and lunatics are firmly in charge of the asylum, the efficient … Continue reading Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Goodbye Glasgow – Hello Energy Poverty: The Staggering True Cost of Wind & Solar
If the Climate Industrial Complex gets its way, kiss goodbye to reliable and affordable energy. The apparent answer all our woes is more of the same: endless subsidies to hopelessly chaotic wind and solar, with even greater subsidies to pie-in-the-sky ‘green’ hydrogen and insanely expensive giant lithium batteries. If you’re not already suffering the consequences … Continue reading Goodbye Glasgow – Hello Energy Poverty: The Staggering True Cost of Wind & Solar
Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
Try living a day without a reliable power supply; then try living a life-time without it. If the doomsday cult that’s thrusting hopelessly unreliable and insanely expensive wind and solar down our throats had its way, then that’s what a future ‘civilisation’ will look like. For those not willing to make an immediate sacrifice to … Continue reading Rebellion Against Extinction: Civilisation Always & Everywhere About Reliable & Affordable Energy
Ever Ascendant: True Cost of Unreliable Wind & Solar Continues to Rise Unabated
If wind and solar power were truly competitive with conventional generators, there would be no need for even a nickel in subsidies. The fact they continue unabated says it all. Claims that the cost of wind and solar generation are falling don’t stand a minute’s serious scrutiny. One group that has applied a blowtorch to … Continue reading Ever Ascendant: True Cost of Unreliable Wind & Solar Continues to Rise Unabated
No Blank Cheques: No One Wants to Pay a Nickel More for Renewables & ‘Climate Action’
The difference between virtue signalling and personal sacrifice is evident when the hat gets passed around to pay for so-called “climate action” - which simply means more, and endless, subsidies for chaotically intermittent wind and solar. The trope has it that it’s the youth who are most adamant about trashing ever reliable and affordable electricity … Continue reading No Blank Cheques: No One Wants to Pay a Nickel More for Renewables & ‘Climate Action’
Renewables Rip-off: ‘Free’ Offshore Wind Power Costs Six Times the Average Cost of Power in USA
Americans are fast learning that the cost of wind power is staggering, and the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. Joe Biden and his Squad are eager to plant thousands of these things up and down the Atlantic coast, claiming that offshore wind power is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. It’s a … Continue reading Renewables Rip-off: ‘Free’ Offshore Wind Power Costs Six Times the Average Cost of Power in USA
‘Inevitable Transition’: Get Ready For the Insane Cost of Attempting to Rely on Wind & Solar
Want rocketing power prices and an unreliable supply? Then, subsidised wind and solar is just made for you. The very point of subsidies to wind and solar is to knock reliable, dispatchable generation sources, out of the game. In wind and solar obsessed South Australia, that’s already occurred, with a vengeance: it blew up its … Continue reading ‘Inevitable Transition’: Get Ready For the Insane Cost of Attempting to Rely on Wind & Solar
