Europe’s ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar is not looking so ‘inevitable’, after all. A burst of cold, calm weather has grid managers panicking as to where their next megawatt might come from. Those opportunistic ‘devils’ who command reliable, fossil-fuelled power generation sources are making out like veritable bandits. While power punters are bracing … Continue reading Some Transition!: Europe’s Power Prices Rocket Whenever the Sun Sets & Calm Weather Sets In

Economically Unhinged: Bonkers Boris Johnson’s Green Fantasy Guaranteed to Bankrupt Britain
Boris ‘Bonkers’ Johnson's plan to ‘power’ Britain on wishes, sunshine and breezes is more like Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole. Intriguing and fascinating, yes. But also a complete and utter fantasy. The concept smacks of delusion, at every level. Neil Collins tackles the topic from the economic perspective. This green fantasy will bankrupt us … Continue reading Economically Unhinged: Bonkers Boris Johnson’s Green Fantasy Guaranteed to Bankrupt Britain
Doomsday Prepping: Americans Told to Give Up ‘Selfish’ Demand for Constant Electricity
Wind and solar ‘powered’ Californians and South Australians know what it is to have their power cut when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Mass blackouts and load shedding are part and parcel of our inevitable transition to an all wind and sun powered future. But now we are told, that none of … Continue reading Doomsday Prepping: Americans Told to Give Up ‘Selfish’ Demand for Constant Electricity
Age of Un-Reason: How Fear & Ignorance Drives Wind & Solar Worship Cult
If it looks like a cult and sounds like a cult, it’s a cult. The new 'green' religion is a world where the naïve and gullible seek salvation through the veneration of wind turbines - as if crucifixes - belief in “the science” has supplanted Scripture and ‘scientists’ peddling doomsday tales garner rapt attention, like … Continue reading Age of Un-Reason: How Fear & Ignorance Drives Wind & Solar Worship Cult
Fact Check: Debunking Claims That Britain Is 100% Wind Powered (Try Gas, Nuclear, Coal & Woodchips)
It only takes a couple of windy days and the loons start heralding the end of coal-fired power. But, of course, when calm weather inevitably sets in, the same lunatics run silent until the next gale hits. A bit like the gambler who tells you all about his wins, but never about his losses. Following … Continue reading Fact Check: Debunking Claims That Britain Is 100% Wind Powered (Try Gas, Nuclear, Coal & Woodchips)
Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return
Sunset and calm weather have been with us since the dawn of time; wind and solar power have existed for barely a generation, and only as a result of massive subsidies. The notion that modern economies can operate around the vagaries of the weather and time of day is, of course, patent nonsense. The factory … Continue reading Zero Return: Intermittent Wind & Solar Devour More Energy Than They Can Ever Return
Dead End: Only Crazed Fanatics Promote Wind & Solar as a Serious Power Solution
When faced with reality, facts and logic the renewable energy zealot denies the existence of all three, starts ranting about the end of the world and calling their antagonists “deniers”, ignoring the obvious irony. If your worldview hinges entirely on un-testable belief and unsupported dogma, you’re probably in a cult. And, if your buddies start … Continue reading Dead End: Only Crazed Fanatics Promote Wind & Solar as a Serious Power Solution
Keepin’ It Real: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
There might be a substitute to coal, gas and nuclear power out there somewhere. But it isn’t chaotically intermittent wind and solar, whether with or without mythical mega-batteries. Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans has done a couple of things. First, it’s sent the crony capitalists profiteering from subsidised renewable energy into a tailspin and … Continue reading Keepin’ It Real: Intermittent Wind & Solar No Substitute for Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power
History Repeats: Taxpayers Fork Out Another $Billion on Another Giant Solar White Elephant
When Crescent Dunes, the world’s biggest solar-thermal power plant went bankrupt, US taxpayers were left to pick up the tab, with their liability running into hundreds of $millions. South Australians (victims of their government’s obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar) can count themselves lucky that they didn’t end up with a carbon copy … Continue reading History Repeats: Taxpayers Fork Out Another $Billion on Another Giant Solar White Elephant
Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
Wind power is the joke where the punchline is a mixture of rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. None of which is particularly funny for those suffering from one and threatened by the other. As to the latter, this country’s maniacal obsession with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and … Continue reading Situation Critical: Massive Wind Power Collapses Threaten Australia’s Entire Eastern Power Grid
