Rocketing power prices and routine blackouts are the inevitable consequence of the ‘inevitable’ wind and solar ‘transition’ - California is no exception. Indeed, thanks to their deranged leaders’ obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar, Californians will be lucky to have power, at all. Putting aside the question of whether all but the elite will … Continue reading Blackout Transition: Intermittent Wind & Solar Power Surge Wrecking California’s Grid

California’s Renewable Energy Meltdown: Power Prices Rocket Amidst Rolling Blackouts
Want unaffordable and unreliable power? Then wind and solar are just the ticket. With their grid on the very brink of collapse, Californians are suffering from rocketing power prices - all thanks to a ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes. Even when the sun is shining, the wind is blowing and power is … Continue reading California’s Renewable Energy Meltdown: Power Prices Rocket Amidst Rolling Blackouts
Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
Base-load power means the stuff generated by coal, gas, nuclear and, where nature permits, hydro. Anyone claiming that wind or solar fit within that mix has never seen a sunset or experienced a burst of dead calm weather. And there’s the rub. Mass blackouts and power rationing in notionally wind and solar powered California during … Continue reading Californian & Texan Renewable Energy Blackouts Force Americans to Back Base-Load Power
Home Truths: Heavy Reliance on Wind & Solar Turn California Into ‘The Blackout State’
The sweeping blackouts that struck California last summer are a fair indication of what happens when sound engineering gets trumped by woolly-headed ideology. An obsession with intermittent wind and solar left millions of Californians sweltering in the dark, and wind and solar spin doctors working overtime to shift the blame. The state-wide blackout that struck … Continue reading Home Truths: Heavy Reliance on Wind & Solar Turn California Into ‘The Blackout State’
Californian Blackout Fury: “It’s Not Just the Heat, It’s Also the Anti-Nuclear Power Stupidity”
California’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle has attracted global attention. Policymakers have led with their chins by promoting chaotically intermittent wind and solar, all the while trashing ever-reliable nuclear power - with perfectly predictable results. With the (not-so) Golden State scrambling for power during a sweltering summer the decision to shutter nuclear plants looks positively criminal. … Continue reading Californian Blackout Fury: “It’s Not Just the Heat, It’s Also the Anti-Nuclear Power Stupidity”
Dark Days & Darker Nights: California’s Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Thousands Without Power

Wind and solar obsessed policymakers have been begging the Feds to throw California a lifeline. The Department of Energy has responded to the Californian government’s desperate pleas by declaring … Continue reading Dark Days & Darker Nights: California’s Wind & Solar Obsession Leaves Thousands Without Power
Sweeping Blackouts Mean California’s ‘Green’ Energy Fantasy Just Got Real
California’s sweeping blackouts are a fair indication of what happens when sound engineering gets trumped by woolly-headed ideology. An obsession with intermittent wind and solar has left millions of Californians sweltering in the dark this summer. With the blackout that struck in mid-August, officials blamed the “unexpected loss of a 470-megawatt power plant Saturday evening, … Continue reading Sweeping Blackouts Mean California’s ‘Green’ Energy Fantasy Just Got Real
Wake Up Australia: Time to Kill Renewable Subsidies and Avoid California’s Wind & Solar Disaster
Those who ignore history are doomed to suffer it all over again, even if it’s the recent history of California’s mass blackouts. Of course, Australians need only look to South Australia (its wind and solar capital) for an understanding of how an obsession with subsidised renewables is guaranteed to send power prices into orbit and … Continue reading Wake Up Australia: Time to Kill Renewable Subsidies and Avoid California’s Wind & Solar Disaster
Wrecking Ball: Democrat’s Deluded Wind & Solar Plan Would Destroy US Economy Overnight
Democrats are determined to deliver California’s renewable energy debacle to all and sundry.
