The Wind Might be ‘Free’, but Utterly Pointless Wind Power Costs a King’s Ransom
**** In their sillier moments, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers pitch the line that their pointless product is not only getting cheaper all the time, but go so far as to claim that wind power is already cheaper than gas and coal-fired power.

Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead
**** Nuclear power is the only stand-alone thermal power source that is base-load, which does not emit CO2 emissions, while providing what we all justifiably crave: power on demand. It’s true that geothermal falls into the same category, but away from volcanic zones (think New Zealand and Iceland) depends on accessing “hot-rocks” deep underground – … Continue reading Working a ‘Steam Up’: Baseload Renewables Leave Wind Power for Dead

With aging, beyond their use by date, coal-fired power plants being closed this year, British power punters are being promised, by the very idiots that created the mess, that everything … Continue reading Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’
UK’s Wind Power Gamble Ends in Power Supply Bankruptcy
Until David Cameron's Conservatives took full control of the UK Parliament, Britain had lumped every last chip on wind power: apparently hoping that a wholly weather dependent power source, that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional (dispatchable) power sources, would come up trumps and lead to … Continue reading UK’s Wind Power Gamble Ends in Power Supply Bankruptcy
Wind Power Will Never Keep the Lights On: Propaganda Obscures Truth About Where Your Power Really Comes From
Claims and delivery are a gulf apart, when what's put up by the wind and solar crowd is measured up against the hard cold facts that reside in 'reality-land'.
