The ultimate cost of renewable energy virtue signalling is truly crippling, wind and solar-obsessed Britain is a case in point. Power prices have doubled over the span of a few months and will quadruple as energy demand spikes again in winter. Attempting to ditch its coal-fired power plants (and converting them to run on wood … Continue reading Oh So ‘Cheap’!: Power Prices Set to Quadruple in Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Britain

Time to Ditch Meaningless Medieval Wind Power & Embrace Modern Nuclear Power
Wind power was abandoned centuries ago, for pretty obvious reasons, known to kite flyers and sailors, since the beginning of time. Sure, in medieval times, when there was no alternative, harnessing nature’s energy make sense. But not now. It was coal that dragged Europe out of the Dark Ages, by providing around-the-clock power, not windmills. … Continue reading Time to Ditch Meaningless Medieval Wind Power & Embrace Modern Nuclear Power
Subsidised Renewables Revolt: Entrenched Energy Poverty Source of Next Revolution
Power prices driven through the roof by subsidised and unreliable wind and solar means electricity is out of reach for thousands of struggling households. Reliable and affordable electricity is at the heart of modern, socially stable societies. Deprive the masses of something that has been taken for granted for generations, and get set for serious … Continue reading Subsidised Renewables Revolt: Entrenched Energy Poverty Source of Next Revolution
Battle for Britain: Brits Scramble For Reliable Energy After Repeated Wind Power Failures
Hardly anyone in Britain is talking about wind power as a serious generation source, anymore. Total collapses in wind power output that lasted for days and even weeks, starting back in September, put paid to that kind of loose chatter. Instead, Brits appear to have been struck with the stark realisation that their power generation … Continue reading Battle for Britain: Brits Scramble For Reliable Energy After Repeated Wind Power Failures
Nature’s Revenge: Europe’s Big Calm Reveals Wind Power’s Hopeless Unreliability
Being unable to deliver electricity as and when power consumers demand it means wind power will never be a meaningful power generation source. So much has been revealed by the burst of calm weather that struck Western Europe last month. Call it Mother nature’s revenge. Where the wind power acolyte waffles on about the percentages … Continue reading Nature’s Revenge: Europe’s Big Calm Reveals Wind Power’s Hopeless Unreliability
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
‘Green’ Energy’s Epic Fail: Wind Gods Conspire to Ruin Europe’s Wind Power ‘Transition’
Europe’s ‘green’ energy transition has turned into high farce, with wind power output collapsing across the continent. The wind Gods are clearly angry. Britain and Germany have been in the doldrums for weeks; the gas needed to plug the gaps is in short supply, with the price of both gas and electricity, skyrocketing. The power … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Epic Fail: Wind Gods Conspire to Ruin Europe’s Wind Power ‘Transition’
Want to Know Why Wind Power is Causing Blackouts in Britain? (It’s called “the Weather”)
No country has ever powered itself entirely with wind and solar power; no country ever will. In Britain, the threat of blackouts now looms every time the wind drops off, thanks to an overreliance on unreliable wind power. Back in August 2019 we reported on a mass blackout that struck Britain, when an offshore wind … Continue reading Want to Know Why Wind Power is Causing Blackouts in Britain? (It’s called “the Weather”)
Black Days & Darker Nights: Engineers Spell Out Threat Posed by Increasing Reliance On Wind & Solar
Pin your power supply hopes on sunshine and breezes, and get prepared for mixed results. South Australians, Californians and Texans know what comes from an overreliance on the unreliables, with plenty of experience of weather-related load shedding and mass blackouts. Increasing dependence on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the price we’ve paid for allowing … Continue reading Black Days & Darker Nights: Engineers Spell Out Threat Posed by Increasing Reliance On Wind & Solar
Some Transition!: Europe’s Power Prices Rocket Whenever the Sun Sets & Calm Weather Sets In
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
