Virtue signalling anti-coal/pro-wind and solar groups are picking a fight they can only lose. NWO/NGOs have launched rabid attacks on any company with the temerity to back coalmining and/or coal-fired power. The activists’ line goes that any company that isn’t telling its shareholders that coal and coal-fired power plants are already dead, is lying to … Continue reading Permanent No-Hopers: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar No Match For On-Tap Coal-Fired Power

Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
The wind and sun may be free, but wind and solar power are anything but. Hidden ‘green’ taxes, costs and charges, not to mention massive subsidies redirected from both taxpayers and power consumers to wind and solar generators are just the beginning. The market distortions created by those subsidies have wrecked the ability of conventional … Continue reading Reality Bites: Americans Finally Waking Up to the Nightmare Cost of Unreliable Wind and Solar
The Great Pretenders: Intermittent Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with Coal & Gas & Nuclear
Oh yes, they’re the great pretenders: useless in calm weather or after the sun goes down, wind and solar can never really compete with coal, nuclear or gas. And anyone trying to convince you otherwise, ought to be gently encouraged to seek psychiatric help. Especially after America’s big freeze left millions of wind and solar … Continue reading The Great Pretenders: Intermittent Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with Coal & Gas & Nuclear
Crushed: Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with America’s Cheap & Ever Reliable Gas-Fired Power
America’s abundant gas supplies mean gas-fired power is cheaper than wind and solar and, unlike that pathetic pair, it’s available 24 x 365, whatever the weather or time-of-day. The USA awash with cheap gas, thanks to the shale oil and gas revolution that started 20 years ago. With improving technology and numerous firms drilling for … Continue reading Crushed: Wind & Solar Simply Can’t Compete with America’s Cheap & Ever Reliable Gas-Fired Power
Texan Turmoil: True & Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Kept Hidden From Power Consumers
The hidden cost of attempting to rely upon sunshine and breezes is truly staggering, ask a German, Dane or South Australian about the power prices they suffer. They’re the world’s highest, by the way. And all three of them compete for bragging rights about which of them has the greatest proportion of renewables in the … Continue reading Texan Turmoil: True & Staggering Cost of Wind & Solar Kept Hidden From Power Consumers
Counting the Cost: Wind & Solar Obsession Means Californian Power Prices 50% Higher Than US Average
Claims that wind and solar are cheap, simply don’t add up. Glaring examples such as Germany, Denmark and South Australia tell the tale. Like night follows day, add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid, and power prices are bound to spiral out of control. For RE zealots it’s one of … Continue reading Counting the Cost: Wind & Solar Obsession Means Californian Power Prices 50% Higher Than US Average
