Texas is littered with solar panels and wind turbines, but don’t expect them to deliver power as and when you need it. As happens most years, wind turbines across Texas have been on their annual summer vacation, for weeks now.

Why Chaotically Delivered Wind and Solar Act Like Cancer On The Power Grid
There are 3 electricity essentials: that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable.

Renewables Rethink: Americans Ready to Reject Wind & Solar After Big Freeze Blackouts
All of a sudden, everyone’s talking about wind and solar, and the chatter ain’t positive.

Lone Star Losers: Wind Power Collapses During Texan Heatwave & Power Prices Rocket
No one cares much about electricity, until they don’t have it.

Tall Texan Tales: Hyperbolic Claims About Wind & Solar Performance in Texas Are Pure Nonsense
It takes more than audacity to promote an all wind and sun powered future - it requires the deluded to make nonsense sound reasonable.

Challenge them about their nonsensical claims that … Continue reading Never Ending Story: Texans Forced to Shell Out $Billions More in Wind Power Subsidies
US Threat to Wind Power Subsidies Reveals Last Great Ponzi Scheme
STT has likened it to the great corporate Ponzi schemes, pointing out, just once or twice, that the wind industry is little more than the most recent and elaborate effort to fleece gullible investors, in a list that dates back to “corporate investment classics”, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind … Continue reading US Threat to Wind Power Subsidies Reveals Last Great Ponzi Scheme
