The inherent absurdity in our headline is precisely the point. No one in touch with reality expects wind power during calm weather or solar power when the sun sets. No one believes that wind and solar generators can simply ‘turn it up’ on a calm night. Oh no, that responsibility is always left to conventional … Continue reading Freezing In The Dark? Just Ask Wind & Solar Generators to ‘Turn It Up’

Unreliable Wind & Solar Deliver Increased Risk of Costly & Deadly Blackouts
Increasing reliance on wind and solar - aka the ‘unreliables’ - means, that hundreds of businesses and hundreds of thousands of homes often miss out on power when they need it most. Attempting to run on sunshine and breezes is a lot like musical chairs: a game where someone always misses out. Think wind and … Continue reading Unreliable Wind & Solar Deliver Increased Risk of Costly & Deadly 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
Lone Stars: Texans Count Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Crushing power costs and power rationing follow wind and solar reliance, like night follows day. Texas is no exception. Bullying power consumers to stop consuming power is par for the course; chiselling taxpayers to cover the exorbitant cost of making up for power shortfalls when the wind stops blowing and/or the sun sets, is grist … Continue reading Lone Stars: Texans Count Colossal Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Once the engineers were banished and the bureaucrats took charge, the fate of reliable and affordable energy supplies was sealed. Trashing coal-fired power plants, demonising nuclear power and squandering untold $billions on hopelessly unreliable wind and solar would have never happened if the engineers were left alone to run the show. The results are difficult … Continue reading Deliberately Trashed: Why Biden’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Push Is Destroying America
Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
Total collapses in wind and solar output during last year’s big freeze meant that hundreds of Texans froze to death. 12 months on and, apparently, little’s been learnt. During America’s big freeze last February, wind turbines were frozen solid across Texas and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event. … Continue reading Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
Epic Fail: How Wind & Solar Caused America’s Big Freeze Blackouts & Killed Hundreds
Wind and solar’s hopeless intermittency delivered a deadly lesson during America’s big freeze last winter: hundreds died in freezing homes left without electricity thanks to hundreds of wind turbines that were frozen solid and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event; and thousands of solar panels plastered in snow … Continue reading Epic Fail: How Wind & Solar Caused America’s Big Freeze Blackouts & Killed Hundreds
Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans & Californians Face More Forced Power Rationing
Texans and Californians now have a choice between no power and getting their own diesel generators. Mass blackouts and power rationing are now the norm, thanks to an obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, in both cases. Back in February, it was a big freeze that froze turbines and plastered solar panels with blankets … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans & Californians Face More Forced Power Rationing
