The results of attempting to rely on sunshine and breezes can’t be hidden forever. As wind and solar generating capacity increases, the inevitable consequences are soon revealed: namely, routine power rationing, mass blackouts and crippling power prices. And yet the acolytes continue to maintain that we’re only a few mythical mega-batteries away from an all-wind … Continue reading Grand ‘Green’ Energy Flop: Europeans Wake Up to Wind & Solar Debacle

Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Dilute, diffuse, intermittent and unreliable, wind and solar make no sense. They will never constitute meaningful power generation sources. They were only designed as subsidy generation sources. As governments pull the plug on subsidies, wind power outfits and turbine makers are pulling the plug on their projects and production. Siemens Energy is losing cash like … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Scorched Earth: Subsidised Wind & Solar Wreaking Economic Havoc Everywhere
Keep cranking up power prices and watch your economy slowly disappear. Subsidised wind and solar guarantee the former and the latter simply follows. Every country that has tapped into the so-called wind and solar transition is suffering from power prices that are simply out of this world. Australia is a case in point. Having just … Continue reading Scorched Earth: Subsidised Wind & Solar Wreaking Economic Havoc Everywhere
Costs Blowout: Rocketing Power Prices Keep Proving Wind & Solar Most Expensive
Households and businesses faced with crippling power bills are just another bad optic for renewable energy rent seekers. The political support upon which the seemingly endless flow of massive subsidies depends, in turn, depends on the proles’ attitude to those charged with delivering reliable and affordable power. Having just been whacked with 20-30% increases in … Continue reading Costs Blowout: Rocketing Power Prices Keep Proving Wind & Solar Most Expensive
Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge
When disaster threatens the rational retreat, but the clown soldiers on and even doubles down, accelerating the race to oblivion. Facts are treated with contempt; reality with derision. So it is with the grand wind and solar transition. It’s a disease of the mind that allows for the belief that a first world economy can … Continue reading Lunacy Unplugged: Renewable Energy Debacle Proves Clowns Are Clearly In Charge
Net Zero Experiment Built on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Doomed to Failure
A decade from now we’ll be talking about the transition to wind and solar that never happened. Right now, though, rent seekers and their enabling politicos are making claims, fast and furious about reaching net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets using nothing but sunshine and breezes. No country has ever run itself entirely on wind … Continue reading Net Zero Experiment Built on Intermittent Wind & Solar – Doomed to Failure
Subsidised Wind & Solar Debacle Delivers Massive Power Price Shock
Every country that’s tapped into the grand wind and solar transition has left power consumers suffering from Post Transition Stress Disorder - where households and businesses are being pounded with power prices at unprecedented rates. Australia, is no exception. At the minute Australians are being bombarded by media attempts to convince a wholly nonracist Australian … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Debacle Delivers Massive Power Price Shock
Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas
The fact that every country that’s increased reliance on wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices is incontrovertible. And that simple relationship puts paid to the myth that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas, principally because it’s heavily subsidised wind and solar that are (occasionally) displacing coal and gas-fired power. When … Continue reading Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas
Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing. Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position … Continue reading Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Hard Lessons From Britain’s ‘Green’ Energy Disaster Freely Available For All
The fool learns from his own experience, the wise tend to learn from the experience of others. In that respect, Britain provides the perfect opportunity for students of energy policy to avoid their very own self-inflicted wind and solar calamity. Britain went all in with its grand offshore wind experiment - accordingly, power prices rocketed … Continue reading Hard Lessons From Britain’s ‘Green’ Energy Disaster Freely Available For All
