The claim that spreading wind turbines far and wide means you’ll have power around-the-clock is just more wind industry myth. Australia’s Eastern Grid provides all the evidence required to render that story plainly risible - and it can all be done with pictures. Spread from Far North Queensland, across the ranges of NSW, all over … Continue reading Chaos Rules: Massive Wind Power Output Collapses Threaten Total Grid Failure

Slashed By Weather: America’s Wind Power Output Plummets 14% To Record Low
America’s wind industry is moaning about the lack of wind, much like the Ancient Mariner becalmed and befuddled by the weather. Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down, ‘Twas sad as sad could be; And we did speak only to break The silence of the sea! All in a hot and copper sky, The … Continue reading Slashed By Weather: America’s Wind Power Output Plummets 14% To Record Low
Facts Beat Feelings: Media’s Grand ‘Green Energy Transition’ Narrative Unravels
The ‘green’ neo-Marxist loves a grand sweeping narrative, and none better than the myth that we’ll all soon be running on nothing but sunshine and breezes. How one ‘feels’ about an issue always gets precedence over pesky rules, like the laws of physics and economics. Not one State or Nation has ever run itself entirely … Continue reading Facts Beat Feelings: Media’s Grand ‘Green Energy Transition’ Narrative Unravels
Uncontrolled Frequency: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Stable Power Grids
Designed by engineers, our electricity grids are remarkable, but finely balanced affairs, being wrecked by the chaotic delivery of wind and solar power. There are 3 electricity essentials – that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Wind and solar score NIL on all … Continue reading Uncontrolled Frequency: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Stable Power Grids
Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
Dilute, diffuse, intermittent and unreliable, wind and solar make no sense. They will never constitute meaningful power generation sources. They were only designed as subsidy generation sources. As governments pull the plug on subsidies, wind power outfits and turbine makers are pulling the plug on their projects and production. Siemens Energy is losing cash like … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security
It’s The Weather, Stupid: When The Wind Won’t Blow, The Power Don’t Flow
The wind industry and its acolytes are none too happy with the weather, because when the wind don’t blow, the power just don’t flow. At a loss to brush away the inherent chaos involved with wind power delivery, these characters are left to curse what they call ‘wind droughts’, as if the weather was something … Continue reading It’s The Weather, Stupid: When The Wind Won’t Blow, The Power Don’t Flow
Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
The heroic attempt to increasingly rely on unreliable wind power ultimately reveals itself as suicidal. Driving reliable conventional generators off the grid and hoping that they will be replaced (in substance) by chaotically intermittent wind power comes with a grab bag of consequences. Rocketing power prices follow as night follows day; the result of incorporating … Continue reading Wind Dependency: When Calm Weather Sets In Get Ready For Major Blackouts
Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
South Australians, Californians and Texans know what comes from an overreliance on the unreliables, having suffered numerous weather-related load shedding and mass blackouts. Increasing dependence on chaotically intermittent wind and solar is the price we’ve paid for allowing ideology to ride roughshod over sound engineering and solid economics. Once the engineers were relegated to the … Continue reading Engineers Explain Why Wind & Solar Inevitably Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis
Calm weather and sunset will do it every time, smashing wind and solar output and claims that we’re already headed for an all wind and sun powered future. Believe the narrative run by the MSM on behalf of the wind and solar rent seekers and their political enablers, you’d think we’ve already reached our ‘green’ … Continue reading Total Frauds: Routine Collapses Mean Wind & Solar Deliver Net Zero Power On Daily Basis
Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Spells R.I.P. For Reliable Power Supplies
Reliance on weather-dependent wind and sunshine-dependent solar means the end for reliable and affordable power supplies. Australia’s wind and solar obsession is beginning to bite, with power prices soaring out of control and power rationing the new normal. With a new band of hard-green-left lunatics in charge, things will only get worse. In America, things … Continue reading Obsession With Intermittent Wind & Solar Spells R.I.P.
