Damned By Their Silence: What Happened to the Grid Engineers Who Fought For Reliable Power?

Engineers built reliable and affordable power supplies; ideologues obsessed with intermittent wind and solar are rapidly dismantling them. Why engineers allowed that to happen is something of a mystery. Sure, renewable energy rent-seekers have exploited opportunities created around ‘saving the planet’ by purportedly ridding it of man-made carbon dioxide gas by using wind turbines and … Continue reading Damned By Their Silence: What Happened to the Grid Engineers Who Fought For Reliable Power?

RE Enthusiasm Curbed: Grid Manager Shutting Off Wind & Solar To Prevent Mass Blackouts

When Mother Nature is working the controls, anything can happen; and, with wind and solar power generation, it usually does. Massive surges and collapses in wind and solar power output - think storm fronts followed by dead calm weather and/or that daily event referred to as ‘sunset’ - are something that the system we once … Continue reading RE Enthusiasm Curbed: Grid Manager Shutting Off Wind & Solar To Prevent Mass Blackouts

Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsession Pushes Power Grid to Brink of Total Collapse

If you’re looking for examples on how to deliberately destroy an economy, look no further than renewables obsessed Germany and its equally deranged doppelgänger Downunder, South Australia: both are attempting to run on sunshine and breezes; both suffer rocketing power prices; and both now have grids on the brink of collapse. South Australia has become … Continue reading Germany’s Wind & Solar Obsession Pushes Power Grid to Brink of Total Collapse

‘Green’ Energy Chaos: Wind & Solar Power Puts Europe at Total Blackout Risk

*** South Australia’s obsession with wind power has brought with it a grab bag of calamitous results - including retail power prices more than double the cheapest state in Australia, Victoria and its globally ‘acclaimed’ habit of “Australia’s wind power capital”: routine load shedding and statewide blackouts. The most notorious of which occurred on 28 … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Chaos: Wind & Solar Power Puts Europe at Total Blackout Risk
