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

Real Contenders: Coal & Gas-Fired Power Still Dominate America’s Electricity Grid
The same wind and solar-obsessed ideology that wrecked Germany’s power supply is on clear display in the USA. If massive and seemingly endless subsidies to wind and solar aren’t enough to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies we’ve enjoyed for generations o their own, then the wind and sun cult amp it up with arbitrary … Continue reading Real Contenders: Coal & Gas-Fired Power Still Dominate America’s Electricity Grid
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. For Reliable Power Supplies
Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy
It only takes a moment's consideration to understand why wind and solar will never amount to meaningful power sources. Sunset is a daily phenomenon and repeated bouts of extended calm weather occur with remarkable regularity. While there’s plenty of lip service paid to the ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition, the reality bites every day. Always clear … Continue reading Power On: Wind and Solar Are No Substitute for Real Dependable Energy
Into The Black: Calm Weather Leaves Britain’s Power Grid At Risk Of Total Collapse
Boris Johnson reckons wind power’s the future for Britain. If so, it’s a future that will soon resemble England’s bitter Dark Ages. The UK has already had its taste of mass blackouts thanks to sudden and unpredictable collapses in wind power output. Now, as Brits head into winter, it’s a case of much more of … Continue reading Into The Black: Calm Weather Leaves Britain’s Power Grid At Risk Of Total Collapse
New Normal: Brits Brace For More Routine Blackouts Thanks to Wind Power Obsession
If you’re pinning your power needs on the weather, then get set for mixed results. No country has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes alone; no country ever will. Those that are attempting to do so, in earnest, have come unstuck - eg Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia, the only Australian state … Continue reading New Normal: Brits Brace For More Routine Blackouts Thanks to Wind Power Obsession
Lying To Survive: Desperate Wind Industry Claims That Wind Power’s Both Reliable & Cheap Busted (Again)
The wind industry was built on lies and runs on subsidies. Spin doctors, practised in the fine art of deception, have been gainfully employed for almost 30 years in an effort to turn night into day, in order to keep the subsidies coming and to prevent them from ever being cut. Politicians and a gullible … Continue reading Lying To Survive: Desperate Wind Industry Claims That Wind Power’s Both Reliable & Cheap Busted (Again)
Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
If unreliable, weather-dependent wind power isn’t a recipe for disaster, it’s most certainly a recipe for chaos. Electricity grids are complex critters, designed around strict tolerances to allow what’s dispatched to them by generators (supply) to perfectly match what’s taken out of them by customers (demand aka ‘the load’). For an explanation of what a … Continue reading Guilty: Giant UK Wind Farm Forced to Pay £4.5 Million to Compensate Its Blackout Victims
Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
Victorians can thank their dangerous and delusional Labor government for their power pricing and supply calamity. Last summer saw mass blackouts and load shedding, following sudden, routine and total collapses in wind and solar output (calm weather and sunset does it every time). Back then its Premier, Daniel Andrews and Energy Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio … Continue reading Deranged & Delusional: Victorian Government Claims Wind & Solar More Reliable Than Fossil Fuels
Terrible Twins: Subsidised Wind & Solar Guaranteed Grid and Market Wreckers
Adding unreliable and intermittent wind and solar to your grid is like inviting Tasmanian devils to a baby shower; sit back and get ready for total chaos. Whether it’s wrecking the reliability of the grid or generating market distortions that make it impossible for conventional generators to dispatch their wares to the grid, subsidised wind … Continue reading Terrible Twins: Subsidised Wind & Solar Guaranteed Grid and Market Wreckers
