The perpetrators of the West’s self-inflicted energy crisis are readily identified by their zealous promotion of subsidised wind and solar. Hiding in plain view, these characters become even more conspicuous when they start ranting about the (purportedly staggering) costs and (supposedly deadly) safety risks of nuclear power generation. The argument run by this crowd is powered … Continue reading Safe, Ever-Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power Perfect Solution to Any Energy Crisis

Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
There is no market for power that cannot be delivered on demand. Which is why, in the absence of subsidies, there wouldn’t be a solar panel or wind turbine in sight. Sure, there are remote locations where a solar panel hooked up to a system of batteries and diesel generators make perfect economic sense. Here … Continue reading Solar Power Scam Revealed: Why Renewables Can Only Survive With Massive Subsidies
Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dik_wnOE4dk Australia is not the only country in the grip of the grand delusion that sunshine and breezes will soon completely replace nuclear, gas and coal-fired power. With another large capacity coal-fired power plant signalling its exit from the market place, the renewable energy ideologues are rejoicing. The engineers that built and ran those plants … Continue reading Tell ‘Em They’re Dreamin’: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Nuclear, Gas & Coal-Fired Power
Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Easily the most unhinged ‘renewable’ energy source is ‘biofuel’: a euphemism for the wholesale clearfelling and burning of forests in converted coal-fired power plants. Apparently, burning fossilised forests from the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago is a deadly sin against nature - all that carbon dioxide gas (that plants crave) must be doing someone … Continue reading Burn Baby, Burn: Whole Forests Felled to Fire Up Biofuel Subsidy Bonanza
Glorious Fiction: Busting the Myth that Wind & Solar Will Soon Power the Planet
Delusions come in various sizes, but the biggest of all is the claim that we’ll soon be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. With the prospect of a Sleepy Joe Biden Presidency and the imposition of the Squad’s economy-wrecking New Green Deal the delusion is about to take on monstrous proportions. So, no time … Continue reading Glorious Fiction: Busting the Myth that Wind & Solar Will Soon Power the Planet
Heaven Help Us: Push For More Subsidised & Intermittent Wind & Solar Adds to COVID-19 Chaos
The coronavirus has delivered a global recession, now RE rent seekers want to deliver a truly Great Depression, with desperate calls for even more subsidies for chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Since Britain launched into its wind power obsession in 2002, retail power prices have more than doubled. Which tends to run against the mantra … Continue reading Heaven Help Us: Push For More Subsidised & Intermittent Wind & Solar Adds to COVID-19 Chaos
Profiting From Power: Subsidised Renewable Energy Nothing More Than State Sponsored Theft
The real delight of Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans is watching the climate cult squirm, as those on the left sink the boots in. Of course, those who have been pointing out that heavily subsidised and hopelessly unreliable wind and solar offer no solution to our purported planetary perils are relishing the opportunity to … Continue reading Profiting From Power: Subsidised Renewable Energy Nothing More Than State Sponsored Theft
Democrats Derailed: Mike Moore’s Planet of the Humans Helps Deliver Donald Trump’s Second Term
Planet of the Humans, Michael Moore’s withering attack on the power and money behind the renewable energy scam (see above) has incensed the climate cult and those that profit from the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. For the best part of 20 years, the mainstream press has been parroting the climate cult’s … Continue reading Democrats Derailed: Mike Moore’s Planet of the Humans Helps Deliver Donald Trump’s Second Term
Shredded: After 30 Years Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Can’t Compete With Nuclear, Coal or Gas
Back in 1983 the American Wind Industry Association claimed that solar and wind would be “competitive and self-supporting on a national level by the end of the decade if assisted by tax credits and augmented by federally sponsored R&D”. That was 36 years ago. And there was no lack of assistance in the form of … Continue reading Shredded: After 30 Years Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Still Can’t Compete With Nuclear, Coal or Gas
Solar Subsidies: Can Create an ‘Industry’, But Can’t Make the Sun Shine
The reason for the chaotic delivery of wind and solar is hardly a mystery: sunset and/or calm weather have been with us, forever. Ah, comes the retort from RE zealots, ‘why, batteries will fix it’. Except, to get battery storage at anything like the scale necessary would involve colossal cost and, of course, even more … Continue reading Solar Subsidies: Can Create an ‘Industry’, But Can’t Make the Sun Shine
