Rocketing power prices were inevitable once Europe decided to put all its energy eggs in the wind power basket. Europe has squandered billions on subsidies to construct tens of thousands of turbines both onshore and off - the Germans managed to spear more than 30,000 across their homeland and are paying a hefty price. By … Continue reading Why Wind Power Output Collapses Are Causing Europe’s Power Prices to Rocket

And there is much worse to come. Instead of coming to grips with its self-inflicted renewable energy calamity, its energy brains … Continue reading Deep ‘Green’ Punishment: Power Prices Set To Double In Wind Power Obsessed Britain
Guilty: Intermittent Wind & Solar Responsible For Global Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Europe’s ongoing wind drought (and corresponding wind power output collapse) is a wake-up call for anyone vaguely concerned about energy supplies. Starting in September last year and running for weeks on end, total collapses in wind power output across Western Europe and the UK, forced a wholesale rethink of the maniacal reliance upon wind and … Continue reading Guilty: Intermittent Wind & Solar Responsible For Global Power Pricing & Supply Calamity
Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Add intermittent wind and solar to a power grid and crippling power prices follow, as night follows day. When power generation and delivery was in the hands of engineers, coal and gas-fired plants ran efficiently and costs were low. Now that ideology reigns instead, and lunatics are firmly in charge of the asylum, the efficient … Continue reading Chaos Costs: Why Intermittent Delivery of Wind & Solar Causes Crippling Power Prices
Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Ontario’s government determined to eliminate coal-fired power in the deluded belief that wind power would soon replace it. The result, as the protesters above predicted, has been an unmitigated economic disaster. Power prices in the Province have spiralled out of control, as a direct result of its suicidal energy policy. Thousands of jobs have been … Continue reading Crippling Cost of Ontario’s Obsession With Wind Power: 71% Increase in Power Bills
Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, the price gouging by the owners of reliable power generation plant, begins. When those paragons of corporate virtue that ran Enron started ripping off Californian power consumers during the late 1990s, they did it by shutting down gas pipelines and pretending gas-fired power plants were off-line … Continue reading Power Market Manipulators Reap Windfall Whenever Wind & Solar Power Output Falls
Outbreak of Seriously Calm Weather Forces Brits Back to Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
To the horror of the wind cult, Britain has been forced to fire up its coal-fired power plants. As if power consumers should have no power, at all, every time calm weather sets in. How dare householders and businesses demand power when they need it? Shouldn’t it be enough that they can have power whenever … Continue reading Outbreak of Seriously Calm Weather Forces Brits Back to Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power
No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof
Rocketing power prices and grid instability are two inescapable consequences of subsidised wind and solar. While sunshine and breezes might be free, attempting to run your power system using nature’s gifts, brings with it a raft of other costs which RE zealots tend to gloss over. The electricity generation and distribution system – which wind … Continue reading No Brainer: Subsidised Wind Power is What’s Driving Your Power Prices Through the Roof

Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Brits are already paying the price for its suicidal renewable energy policies. Under ‘Bonkers’ Boris that price will be positively murderous. His plan to squander a further £50,000,000,000 on subsidies and over-the-market contracts for intermittent offshore wind power beggars belief. And will turn many on the lower … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Britain’s Power Price Hike All Due to Subsidised Wind Power
