Wind and solar generators happily take credit when the sun’s up and the wind’s blowing, but dodge all criticism when blackouts follow sunset and/or calm weather. The standard trick is to point in every direction - except the obvious - when power rationing (euphemistically called “demand management”) or unplanned power rationing (aka widespread blackouts) follows … Continue reading Blackout Blame Shifting: Wind & Solar Collapses Responsible For Unplanned Power Outages

Wind Farms Keep Being Wiped Out By Wild Weather: Tornadoes and Turbines Don’t Mix
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AAHJs-j3uw These things are meant to save us from a changing climate but, when the weather turns wild, they can barely save themselves. 50-60m long blades, weighing in at 20 tonnes each, are usually the first item to be shredded and thrown in all directions (the wind industry uses the neutral term “component liberation”). … Continue reading Wind Farms Keep Being Wiped Out By Wild Weather: Tornadoes and Turbines Don’t Mix
Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
Total collapses in wind and solar output during last year’s big freeze meant that hundreds of Texans froze to death. 12 months on and, apparently, little’s been learnt. During America’s big freeze last February, wind turbines were frozen solid across Texas and breathless frigid conditions that meant the remainder delivered no power, in any event. … Continue reading Continued Reliance On Wind & Solar Leaves Texans Vulnerable to More Mass Blackouts
China & Russia Profit From West’s Ludicrous Obsession With Unreliable Wind and Solar
As Germany scrambles to secure the gas needed to prevent their wind and solar ‘powered’ grid from total collapse, Vladimir Putin is laughing all the way to the bank. And the Russians aren’t the only ones profiting from the West’s maniacal obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar. China - with plenty of unwilling assistance … Continue reading China & Russia Profit From West’s Ludicrous Obsession With Unreliable Wind and Solar
Brace For Blackouts: World’s Reliance On Unreliable Wind & Solar Spells Energy Disaster
Topping the list of things that seemed like a good idea at the time sits wind and solar power. What, with the energy sources that drive them free and natural; with no visible emissions of spent gas or fumes; with their shiny panels harvesting the sun’s rays and delivering electricity for five or six hours … Continue reading Brace For Blackouts: World’s Reliance On Unreliable Wind & Solar Spells Energy Disaster
Let Them Freeze: Wind & Solar Generators Couldn’t Care Less About Your Welfare
The wind and solar industries couldn’t care less whether you freeze to death when winter bites across the northern hemisphere and wind and solar output collapse. Solar panels plastered in snow and ice produce nothing; wind turbines frozen solid during breathless, frigid weather produce even less (they actually consume power from the grid to run … Continue reading Let Them Freeze: Wind & Solar Generators Couldn’t Care Less About Your Welfare
Green New Deal Gamble: Democrats Playing Russian Roulette With America’s Energy Future
Across the globe, the quest for wind and solar power domination has taken on all the menace of a friendly round of Russian roulette. The front runners in the USA, California and Texas, have already experienced life-threatening wind and solar output collapses; during statewide heatwaves in the former, and during last February’s Big Freeze, in … Continue reading Green New Deal Gamble: Democrats Playing Russian Roulette With America’s Energy Future
Subsidised Suicide: 2021 Revealed Wind & Solar To Be Unreliable & Utterly Useless
Wind and solar are said to be ‘cheap’, but then so’s talk. 2021 was the year when wind and solar were revealed to be thoroughly useless, thanks to their inherent intermittency and general lack of reliability. Starting in September last year, for months on end, Europe’s wind power fleet struggle to produce any consistent power … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: 2021 Revealed Wind & Solar To Be Unreliable & Utterly Useless
2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations
Just when the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future was supposed to be in the bag, thoroughly calm weather dashed all hopes. $Trillions in subsidies have been thrown at wind and solar power outfits, with no end to the largess in sight. All the while, the rent seekers and propagandists have been … Continue reading 2021’s Renewables Debacle In Review: Fickle Wind & Sun Face Bitter Accusations
DIY Light & Power: Home Generator Sales Soar, Thanks to America’s Wind & Solar Rush
People want power whenever they need it, not when the wind is blowing just right or the sun’s at its zenith in a cloudless sky. Any country that has added any significant wind and/or solar capacity to its grid is suffering increasing grid instability, load shedding aka ‘demand management’ (aka planned blackouts/brownouts) and mass blackouts. … Continue reading DIY Light & Power: Home Generator Sales Soar, Thanks to America’s Wind & Solar Rush
