It takes a special brand of delusion to still believe that chaotically intermittent wind and solar can replace conventional generators, such as coal, gas and nuclear plants. But they’re still out there. Indeed, some of them hold high, elected office. Or once did. Maths, physics, economics and meteorology are not difficult disciplines. But mastery thereof … Continue reading ‘Green’ Delusions: Why Wind & Solar Can Never Replace Coal, Gas & Nuclear Power

Crazytown: German Professor’s Solution to Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency: More Wind & Solar!
Our good friends, logic and reason have taken a pounding from wind and solar obsessed renewable energy rent seekers and zealots over the years. For the best part of 20 years, they’ve been trying to convince us that wind and solar are reliable, affordable and as safe as houses. If you’re looking for a singular … Continue reading Crazytown: German Professor’s Solution to Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency: More Wind & Solar!
Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
The renewable energy cult raves about the ‘inevitable transition’, pointing to Germany as the shining example, which it is, if your point is that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar will inevitably drive power prices through the roof and leave hopeful power consumers freezing in the dark. No country went harder and faster … Continue reading Dark Ages Transition: Wind & Solar Obsessed Germans Left Freezing In the Dark
‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
When the world’s richest entrepreneur says wind and solar will never work, it’s probably time to listen. When we posted this story – Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind & Solar: ‘Let’s Quit Jerking Around With Renewables & Batteries’ – in February last year, listen they did – that post went viral with over 45,000 hits. Where … Continue reading ‘Green’ Dreamin’: Powering the World With Batteries, Wind & Solar A Majestic Fantasy
Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
Whether it’s 50% or 100% as the wind and solar target, the reality strikes after sunset on a breathless evening, when neither are contributing anything at all. As NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham puts it, the concept of an inevitable transition from coal to sunshine and breezes - being peddled by Labor as rock … Continue reading Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices
The only things 'inevitable' about ‘transitioning’ to wind and solar are rocketing power prices, load shedding and mass blackouts. Ask a German or South Australian. Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie, as does Denmark and South Australia, … Continue reading Renewable Energy Transition: Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Germans Suffering the World’s Highest Power Prices
Industrial Devolution: Renewables Obsession Leaves German Industry Crushed By Rocketing Power Prices
No country went harder and faster with its renewable obsession than Germany. The rocketing power prices that inevitably followed are crushing its once thriving industries, including motor manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz. The idea that a critical input cost to manufacturing can be tripled without affecting profitability and employment is, as any student of that dismal … Continue reading Industrial Devolution: Renewables Obsession Leaves German Industry Crushed By Rocketing Power Prices
Fact Check: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Replace Fossil Fuels
The wind and solar ‘industries’ were built on lies and run on subsidies. As to the former, for more than 20 years a phalanx of propagandists has worked overtime to literally turn night into day. Lines like the ‘wind is always blowing somewhere’, ‘sunset’s not a problem’, this ‘wind farm will power XXX hundred thousand … Continue reading Fact Check: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Will Never Replace Fossil Fuels
No Deal: New ‘Green’ Deal Means Return to the Impoverished Dark Ages
There’s something amusing about watching well-fed, first world teenagers hit the streets to rail about fossil fuels, just before mummy collects them in a stonking V8 Land Cruiser, whisking them away to their perfectly air-conditioned homes, jampacked with every electronic gadget, imaginable. The louder and more earnest their demands for an end to the use … Continue reading No Deal: New ‘Green’ Deal Means Return to the Impoverished Dark Ages
Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
Renewable energy zealots keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time. Germany puts paid to that lie, as does Denmark and South Australia, which each jockey for line honours in the world’s highest power prices stakes. No country has squandered more treasure on giant windmills and an endless … Continue reading Power Shock: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit
