The grand ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds great until you’re left freezing or boiling in the dark - the only inevitable outcome of attempting to run on nothing but sunshine and breezes. Solar output collapses on a regular, daily basis (a phenomenon that’s been referred to as ‘Sunset’ for some time now). Even when the … Continue reading Fade to Black: One Of These (Calm) Nights You’ll Be Freezing or Boiling In The Dark

Totally Risible: Wind Industry Couldn’t Power Australia’s Toasters & Kettles
When the wind stops blowing, wind power stops flowing. It’s that simple. If anyone is looking for proof that wind power is always and everywhere entirely dependent on the weather. Here it is. The graphic above comes from the boys over at Aneroid Energy and it depicts the output from every single wind turbine connected … Continue reading Totally Risible: Wind Industry Couldn’t Power Australia’s Toasters & Kettles
American and Canadian Prairies Suffer Calm Weather Wind Power Wipe-Out
There’s a reason that windmills were abandoned in the 19th century: it’s called “the wind”. And it's why anyone serious about power generation, never takes wind power seriously. Sailors and kite flyers know everything there is to know about long bursts of calm weather. However, naturally occurring meteorological phenomenon comes as news to the wind … Continue reading American and Canadian Prairies Suffer Calm Weather Wind Power Wipe-Out
Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
To call Australia’s wind power output “pathetic” is to flatter it. Turbines with a total capacity of 10,277 MW are spread from Far North Queensland, across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia - and all connected to the Eastern Grid. On rare occasions, the combined output reaches around 60% of their total notional … Continue reading Weather Conspires: Wind Industry Battered By Persistent & Pernicious ‘Wind Droughts’
Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
It doesn't take a genius to connect calm weather with total collapses in wind power output. Even the functionally illiterate have the capacity to understand just how incapable wind power is of delivering power on demand. For example, depicted above – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind power outfits to … Continue reading Energy In-a-Nutshell: Constant Calm Weather Means Wind Power Will Never Work
The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
Here’s the news: wind power critically depends upon the wind, without which there ain’t no wind power. Simples. Beyond seven days meteorologists are little more than glorified soothsayers when it comes to predicting the weather. How many times do we see revised forecasts given the day before, when only a week before that, the maximum … Continue reading The Weather: Why Wind Power Will Always Be Hopelessly Intermittent & Unreliable
Monumental Design Fail: Industrial Wind Turbines Simply Can’t Handle High Winds
When the weather turns nasty, giant industrial wind turbines simply turn off. When there’s no wind, they produce nothing; when winds hit gale force, they produce nothing. It’s as if their designers included Goldilocks, the porridge thief who wanted things “just right” and snubbed her nose at all that wasn't. Modern industrial wind turbines do not … Continue reading Monumental Design Fail: Industrial Wind Turbines Simply Can’t Handle High Winds
Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb
There’s nothing funny about being frozen to death in the dark. More than half of the 200 Texans who died during the mass blackouts that struck the midwest during February this year died of hypothermia, thanks to a lack of power. In all some 4.5 million households were left freezing in the dark when solar … Continue reading Deadly Serious: During Extreme Weather Unreliable Wind & Solar Threaten Life & Limb
Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
Wind power’s proven inability to deliver the goods when it counts has been on show in the last few months. Much to the horror of the wind cult, renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers. Total wind power output collapses in Germany and across America’s midwest, have drawn focus on just how useless … Continue reading Weather-Dependency Means That Wind Power is Always & Everywhere Utterly Pointless
Death Defying: Big Freeze Reveals Insanity of Relying on Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
The northern hemisphere turns on bitter winters - getting wind turbines and solar panels to turn on in the midst of one, is another matter. Freezing Germans, desperate for coal-fired power, are probably having a good, hard think about their obsession with ‘green’ energy. Freezing Americans have already had a taste of their wind and … Continue reading Death Defying: Big Freeze Reveals Insanity of Relying on Weather-Dependent Wind & Solar
