Ignorance is a solid virtue among the wind and sun cult, who apparently believe that wind turbines self-replicate without the need for any assistance from those evil fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas. Their infantile imagination is better placed in a sci-fi pic with indestructible, self-repairing droids, than in earthly reality. An industrial wind turbine … Continue reading Wind Turbines Require Hundreds of Tonnes of Minerals Mined & Processed Using Fossil Fuels

Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’
Call wind and solar whatever you like, but there’s simply no rational basis to call them ‘clean’ or ‘green’. Both chew up monumental volumes of minerals, chemicals, rare earths and energy just to create the panels and turbines. Both leave monumental volumes of waste when turbines and panels are spent – after a decade or … Continue reading Enviro-Frauds: Wind & Solar Ain’t ‘Clean’ & Certainly Ain’t ‘Green’
All Downside: Energy & Mineral Hungry Wind & Solar Are Simply Not Sustainable
There is no such thing as a 'free' lunch, some one always pays. Wind and sun may be free, the occasional power they produce is anything but. The economic choices we make (and the policies that surround, support or reflect them) are driven by a simple equation: that the economic cost should be outweighed by the … Continue reading All Downside: Energy & Mineral Hungry Wind & Solar Are Simply Not Sustainable
Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas
Any enquiring mind has already rumbled the fact that the grand wind and solar reset is a great ‘green’ fraud. Wind turbines, solar panels and mythical mega-batteries require more energy to produce than they’ll ever repay. Miners love it, of course, with the insatiable demand that’s been generated by delusional autocrats and cynical rent-seekers. Although, … Continue reading Future Mining: Fake ‘Green’ Energy Transition Entirely Dependent On Coal, Oil & Gas
Dream On: Finite Mineral Resources Mean Grand Wind & Solar Transition Must Inevitably Fail
As the grand delusion of an all-wind and sun-powered future unravels in Europe, rational thinkers are turning to the insatiable demand for minerals that comes with the ‘inevitable transition’ and pointing out that what's contemplated is not only impossible, but simply ludicrous. The volumes of high-value minerals such as copper and aluminium required in every … Continue reading Dream On: Finite Mineral Resources Mean Grand Wind & Solar Transition Must Inevitably Fail
Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Incapable of delivering power as and when we need it, wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources. But, as a source of insatiable demand for the Planet’s (purportedly) dwindling resources they are first rate. Wind turbines and solar panels devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Their insatiable mineral demand (and … Continue reading Planet Strippers: Wind Turbines & Solar Panels Driving Insatiable Mineral Demand
Total Flop: Nothing ‘Inevitable’ About So-called ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
A mixture of wishful thinking and childish pipedreams, there’s nothing inevitable about the so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar - Sunset remains a fixed feature of daily life, as does stubbornly calm weather. But the acolyte and rent seeker would have us believe that these natural phenomena are either trivial obstacles to be overcome - … Continue reading Total Flop: Nothing ‘Inevitable’ About So-called ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar
Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
Economics is about using scarce resources to meet insatiable wants; in contrast wind and solar devour scarce resources and provide nothing much in return. Diffuse, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar are utterly pointless as power sources – because they can’t deliver power as and when we need it. However, as a source of insatiable … Continue reading Rapacious Renewables: Wind & Solar’s Insatiable Demand For Minerals Beyond Belief
