https://youtu.be/D_wkyZoIQ-o Listen to an ideologue, and you’d think the transition to an all wind and sun powered future is simply inevitable. Listen to an engineer, and you’ll soon understand that it is simply impossible. Reliable, dependable and affordable power supplies were the product of logic and reason - the discipline of methodical and ordered … Continue reading The Maths of Net Zero: Why Claims About The Wind & Solar Transition Don’t Add Up

Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time, but notionally wind-powered Germans, Danes, Californians and South Australians might beg to differ; they already suffer the world's highest retail power prices, with worse to come. Nowhere in the world is there … Continue reading Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving The Planet, They’re Wrecking It
The idea that unreliable wind and solar can save the planet is one of the greatest lies, ever told. In touting their purported environmental credentials, the crony capitalists, rent-seekers and fawning advocates never take into account any of the associated costs. It’s all sunshine and suitably stiff breezes, as far as the wind and sun … Continue reading The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving The Planet, They’re Wrecking It
Filthy Rich Get To Soak In Massive Solar Subsidies – While The Poor Get Nothing
The adage about those who already have getting even more is clearly at work with the virtue-signalling beneficiaries of solar power subsidies. Sure, you don’t have to be a dotcom billionaire to have a house covered in shiny panels, but the bigger the pad, the bigger the burden on the taxpayers who foot the bill. … Continue reading Filthy Rich Get To Soak In Massive Solar Subsidies – While The Poor Get Nothing
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
Big Fat Liars: Mainstream Media Deliberately Conceal True Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
When it comes to the true cost of wind and solar, most journalists adopt the adage about people believing big lies when they're told the same lie, repeatedly. Every country in the world that’s committed to wind and solar has watched its power prices rocket and their grids become increasingly unreliable and unstable. Ask a … Continue reading Big Fat Liars: Mainstream Media Deliberately Conceal True Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
There’s a yawning gulf between what wind turbines and solar panels are capable of delivering and what’s actually delivered. Sunset and calm weather will do it every time. Terms like “capacity factor” and the “Levelized Cost Of Energy” are bandied about with great scientific certitude by renewable energy rent-seekers. As to the first, wind and … Continue reading Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
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
Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
The true cost of wind power is staggering and, despite wild claims to the contrary, is becoming more even expensive, not less so. Dr John Constable and Gordon Hughes have done what the mainstream media have never done and what renewable energy rent seekers would rather they didn’t: they’ve opened the books of account to … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims Scorched: Wind Power Costs Are Increasing Not Decreasing
