The relationship between rocketing power prices and intermittent wind and solar is pretty obvious. Just ask a South Australian, German or Dane. The USA is a relative Johnny come lately to the RE obsession bandwagon. There are a couple of obvious exceptions, namely Texas and California. But among the other 50 states, the wind and … Continue reading Renewables Retribution: Spiralling Power Prices Punish Poorest & Most Vulnerable

No Road Back: Obsession with Intermittent Renewables Causes Monster Power Price Surge
Thanks to coal-fired power, Australia once enjoyed the world’s most reliable and affordable power supply. Not anymore. An obsession with wind and solar - expressed in the form of $70 billion in subsidies, $billions more in government underwritten soft-loans and mandated targets, backed up with punitive fines has sent power prices into orbit. The … Continue reading No Road Back: Obsession with Intermittent Renewables Causes Monster Power Price Surge
Peter Pan Power: Wind & Solar Obsession = Destructive Juvenile Fantasy
The wind and solar 'industries' are a lot like Peter Pan – the eternal child, who will fight, kick and scream to avoid the stark reality of adulthood. How often have we heard the yarn about wind and solar power needing a fat pile of subsidies (filched from taxpayers and power consumers) for just that … Continue reading Peter Pan Power: Wind & Solar Obsession = Destructive Juvenile Fantasy
Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
The relationship between intermittent renewables and rocketing power prices is pretty obvious, just ask a Dane, German or South Australian. These joints have a couple of things in common: heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent renewable energy and the world’s highest power prices. That, well-settled, relationship is universal, as Fancis Menton documents below. How Much Do … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices
Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
Germany’s wind and solar experiment has failed: the so-called ‘Energiewende’ (energy transition) has turned into an insanely costly debacle. German power prices have rocketed; blackouts and load shedding are the norm; and once bucolic farmland has been turned into industrial wastelands (see above). Hundreds of billions of euros have been squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, … Continue reading Power Poverty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Means 5 Million Germans Struggle To Pay Rocketing Power Bills & 340,000 Families Cut From Grid
Hypocrites Playground: Australian Renewable Energy Policy Driven By Virtue Signalling Halfwits
Reading this in Australia? Then you’re doing so, thanks to coal. You might be doing so thanks to nuclear power, if only the dimwits that profess to run this country hadn’t banned it. On any given day, between 70 and 80% of what flows through Australia’s Eastern Grid comes from coal-fired power plants. Of course, … Continue reading Hypocrites Playground: Australian Renewable Energy Policy Driven By Virtue Signalling Halfwits
Australia’s Giant Renewables Rip-Off: Counting The Colossal Cost of Pointless Virtue Signalling
Australia’s obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar has absolutely nothing to do with the climate. Although, you could be forgiven for thinking the $70 billion in subsidies set to be squandered on that pathetic pair must have some kind of environmental benefit. Otherwise, what’s the point? When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets … Continue reading Australia’s Giant Renewables Rip-Off: Counting The Colossal Cost of Pointless Virtue Signalling
Mission Possible: Australia’s Renewable Energy Scam Destroying Reliable & Affordable Baseload Power
Australia is in the process of destroying what was the world’s most reliable and affordable power supply. The destruction is all down to heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Meanwhile, our major Asian trading partners, China and Japan are chewing up Australian coal and uranium as fast as we can ship it – … Continue reading Mission Possible: Australia’s Renewable Energy Scam Destroying Reliable & Affordable Baseload Power
Eve of Destruction: Australia’s Economy First Victim of Renewable Energy Fiasco
If the objective of Australia’s energy policy is destroying its economy, we’re well on the way. With more than $70,000,000,000 squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, both large-scale and domestic, power prices rocketing out of control, routine, mass power cuts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, and the destruction of … Continue reading Eve of Destruction: Australia’s Economy First Victim of Renewable Energy Fiasco
