That term is one that has only come into common parlance with the soaring cost of electricity, caused by throwing $billions at a wholly weather dependent … Continue reading Wind Power Costs Crush the Poor

Tasmania’s LRET Inflicted Power Crisis: its 308 MW of Wind Power Capacity Deemed Utterly Worthless
**** Lunatics, like those that people Australia’s Labor Party and the so-called ‘Greens’, continue to delude themselves that, not only is wind power a ‘meaningful’ power generation source, but also that, if we would all simply have faith and ‘believe’, our modern, first world economies could be run entirely upon the whims of the Wind … Continue reading Tasmania’s LRET Inflicted Power Crisis: its 308 MW of Wind Power Capacity Deemed Utterly Worthless

Britain’s Wind Power ‘Leap of Faith’

UK’s Wind Power Gamble Ends in Power Supply Bankruptcy
Until David Cameron's Conservatives took full control of the UK Parliament, Britain had lumped every last chip on wind power: apparently hoping that a wholly weather dependent power source, that requires 100% of its capacity to be backed up 100% of the time by conventional (dispatchable) power sources, would come up trumps and lead to … Continue reading UK’s Wind Power Gamble Ends in Power Supply Bankruptcy

Offshore Wind Power Just as Unreliable & Twice the Insane Cost of Onshore Wind Power
**** Australia's Large-Scale RET is facing inevitable doom - and with it the wind industry - due to the fact that Australia's commercial retailers decided to kill it off over 3 years ago; refusing, since then, to enter Power Purchase Agreements with wind power outfits.
