There’s no mystery as to why California suffers the highest prices and routine load shedding and blackouts: in 2018, California had 80 GW of installed generation capacity encompassing more than 1,500 power plants; with 41 GW of natural gas, 26.5 GW of ‘renewables’ (12 GW solar, 6 GW wind), 12 GW of large hydroelectric, and … Continue reading California’s Wind & Solar Calamity: Power Prices Rocketing Out of Control

Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar
In the beginning, engineers designed power transmission grids to connect a few generators to millions of power users. Nowadays, ideologues reckon they can connect thousands of generators, spread far and wide, to power users who haven't moved an inch. The cost of doing so, is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Worse still, the … Continue reading Pointless Duplication: America to Squander $3.5 Trillion to Connect Far-Flung Wind & Solar
Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
Generating occasional power in far-flung places means connecting wind turbines and solar panels, and that comes with a staggering additional cost. Costs that are totally avoidable and entirely unnecessary, when one considers that no one was short of power before the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ took off. In Australia, it’s reckoned that the current … Continue reading Britain’s Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Demand £60 Billion More For Grid Upgrades
Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
Once upon a time, the object was delivering power to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Not anymore. Chaotically delivered and heavily subsidised wind and solar have another object, and it is not one that their proponents dare speak of. If delivering reliable and affordable power were the object, then no one would be talking about … Continue reading Economic Euthanasia: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means Energy Poverty Everywhere
Voters Reject Net-Zero Madness: Wind & Solar Transition Faces Serious Opposition
Given the choice, power consumers would have rejected the wind and solar transition and the net-zero CO2 madness that underpins it, from the outset. At the heart of their new-found and growing hostility is the question of who benefits? And who pays? Having been repeatedly pounded with off-the-charts electricity bills, the great unwashed are starting … Continue reading Voters Reject Net-Zero Madness: Wind & Solar Transition Faces Serious Opposition
Facts Trump Feelings: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Tale Rapidly Unravels
The only certainties attached to the wind and solar transition are being constantly whacked with crushing power bills and sitting freezing or boiling in the dark, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Whereas Europeans are crab-walking away from their mad rush towards wind and solar - with many tapping into next-generation nuclear power … Continue reading Facts Trump Feelings: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Tale Rapidly Unravels
Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage
Wind and solar rent-seekers are laughing all the way to the bank, with your money. Subsidising wind and solar operators under the mantle of reaching mythical net-zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets comes with a staggering cost: wrecked communities, wrecked environments and wrecked economies. The cult that drives it all, has seriously underestimated the proles’ … Continue reading Rising Tide: True Cost of Net-Zero ‘Transition’ Drives Mounting Public Outrage
Grand Lunacy: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Designed by Clueless Idiots
Reliable and affordable power supplies were built by engineers not ideologues. As the latter merrily destroy everything the engineers created, it’s worth identifying just how witless these characters are. These clowns would struggle with basic arithmetic, and have no hope when it comes to the laws of physics and principles of economics. No better example … Continue reading Grand Lunacy: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Designed by Clueless Idiots
Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth
‘Wind and solar power are cheap and reliable’, ‘war is peace’, ‘freedom is slavery’ or so the Ministry of Truth would have you believe. Perverting the meaning of language is all in a day’s work for the rent-seeking crowd that sit behind wind and solar outfits - ably assisted by a crowd of deranged zealots … Continue reading Fraction Too Much Fiction: Scorching The “Wind & Solar Are Cheap” Myth
Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)
Claims about an inevitable wind and solar transition show wishful thinking is no match for the laws of physics. Sunset (a daily occurrence, for the uninitiated) and calm weather (also a common and natural phenomenon) are where the physical reality begins; and the much-heralded shift to an all-wind and solar-powered future begins to unravel. Then … Continue reading Physical Reality Means There Will Be No Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ (Not Now/Not Ever)
