The ‘green’ neo-Marxist loves a grand sweeping narrative, and none better than the myth that we’ll all soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. How one ‘feels’ about an issue always gets precedence over pesky rules, like the laws of physics and economics. Not one State or Nation has ever run itself entirely … Continue reading Facts Beat Feelings: Media’s Grand ‘Green Energy Transition’ Narrative Unravels

Uncontrolled Frequency: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Stable Power Grids
Designed by engineers, our electricity grids are remarkable, but finely balanced affairs, being wrecked by the chaotic delivery of wind and solar power. There are 3 electricity essentials – that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Wind and solar score NIL on all … Continue reading Uncontrolled Frequency: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Stable Power Grids
Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Dilute, diffuse, intermittent and unreliable, wind and solar make no sense. They will never constitute meaningful power generation sources. They were only designed as subsidy generation sources. As governments pull the plug on subsidies, wind power outfits and turbine makers are pulling the plug on their projects and production. Siemens Energy is losing cash like … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis
Calm weather and sunset will do it every time, smashing wind and solar output and claims that we’re already headed for an all wind and sun powered future. Believe the narrative run by the MSM on behalf of the wind and solar rent seekers and their political enablers, you’d think we’ve already reached our ‘green’ … Continue reading Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis
Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)
South Australia’s infamous Statewide blackout on 28 September 2016 was caused by wind turbines that couldn’t handle a vigorous spring storm front. Wind speeds exceeded 25m/s (90km/h), which meant turbines at the bulk of its (then 18) wind farms shut down automatically to protect themselves from catastrophic self-destruction. Metropolitan Adelaide was without power for hours, … Continue reading Renewables Repeat: Weather Event Wipes Out Australia’s Wind & Solar Capital (Once Again)
Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise
There is a place for solar power, but it ain’t connected to a power grid. Delivering power for no more than seven hours a day (ordinarily between five and six hours, at best, and less in winter) means sticking solar panels on homes connected to conventional power grids makes no sense at all. As the … Continue reading Part-Time Power: Subsidised Solar World’s Most Expensive Virtue Signalling Exercise
Subsidised Suicide: How Wind & Solar Carpetbaggers Trashed Australia’s Energy Grid
With abundant supplies of coal, gas and uranium Australia ought to be renowned as an energy superpower. It isn’t. In less than 20 years it deliberately destroyed the most reliable and affordable power generation and delivery system, on earth. It started with subsidies; massive subsidies to wind and solar - both domestic and large-scale - … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: How Wind & Solar Carpetbaggers Trashed Australia’s Energy Grid
Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy
It only takes a moment's consideration to understand why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. Sunset is a daily phenomenon and repeated bouts of extended calm weather occur with remarkable regularity. While there’s plenty of lip service paid to the ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition, the reality bites every day. Always clear … Continue reading Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy
Crunch Time: Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Threatens More Mass Blackouts
Power grids are among the most sophisticated organisms on earth, but they were never designed for the chaos delivered daily by intermittent wind and solar. For power consumers the first realisation that there’s a problem comes with load shedding (controlled blackouts) or mass blackouts (when the grid manager loses control, altogether). When sudden and … Continue reading Crunch Time: Obsession With Unreliable Wind & Solar Threatens More Mass Blackouts
Enough is Enough: Time to End (Endless) Gravy Train for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Countless $billions are being squandered on subsidies to unreliable wind and solar, every single day. Wind and solar power don’t run on sunshine and breezes, they run on a seemingly endless stream of subsidies - without which, we simply wouldn’t be having this discussion. The merest hint threat of a cut to the subsidies sends … Continue reading Enough is Enough: Time to End (Endless) Gravy Train for Subsidised Wind & Solar
