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

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
Harnessing energy was the secret of success for every first world economy. Destroying the systems that delivered it will be the reason for their demise and ultimate failure. The notion that wind and solar can deliver the kind of power upon which those economies were built is nothing more than a grand delusion, driven by … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Myth Busted: When Delusion & Reality Collide
Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
Once upon a time, the object was delivering power to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Not anymore. Chaotically delivered and heavily subsidised wind and solar have another object, and it is not one that their proponents dare speak of. If delivering reliable and affordable power were the object, then no one would be talking about … Continue reading Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
The hackneyed claim that wind and solar power are ‘clean’ and ‘green’ doesn’t stand first contact with reality. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent - after a decade or so … Continue reading World’s Greatest Environmental Frauds: There’s Nothing ‘Clean’ or ‘Green’ About Wind & Solar
Energy ‘Transition’ Built On Grand Delusion That Wind & Solar Power Is Cheap & Reliable
War is peace’, ‘freedom is slavery’ and ‘wind and solar power are cheap and reliable’. Big Brother and his Ministry of Truth would, no doubt, approve of the approach taken by rent-seeking crony capitalists and their political enablers to give the appearance of solidity to pure wind, and the impression that the sun shines 24 … Continue reading Energy ‘Transition’ Built On Grand Delusion That Wind & Solar Power Is Cheap & Reliable
All Downside: Energy & Mineral Hungry Wind & Solar Are Simply Not Sustainable
There is no such thing as a 'free' lunch, some one always pays. Wind and sun may be free, the occasional power they produce is anything but. The economic choices we make (and the policies that surround, support or reflect them) are driven by a simple equation: that the economic cost should be outweighed by the … Continue reading All Downside: Energy & Mineral Hungry Wind & Solar Are Simply Not Sustainable
