Why climate-finance ‘flows’ are falling short of $100bn pledge is an informative article from CarbonBrief. Excerpts below in italics followed by a comment from Bjorn Lomborg. One of the biggest and most contentious issues in climate politics is the provision of money to help poorer countries cut emissions and protect themselves from climate impacts. In […]

By Paul Homewood There’s one more thing to note about this announcement: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/boost-for-offshore-wind-as-government-raises-maximum-prices-in-renewable-energy-auction As well as the massive price rises for offshore wind, prices have also been increased for solar power:

Economic conundrums for Germany as top court cancels climate funding plan

When might it occur to politicians, German or not, that endless subsidies to feed their own climate obsessions either come out of the same pot as the rest of their government’s income, or by pumping up national debt – or both? Looks like a road to nowhere, or nowhere good. – – – As Germany […]

Voters Reject Net-Zero Madness: Wind & Solar Transition Faces Serious Opposition

in energy economics, environmental economics, global warming
Given the choice, power consumers would have rejected the wind and solar transition and the net-zero CO2 madness that underpins it, from the outset. At the heart of their new-found and growing hostility is the question of who benefits? And who pays? Having been repeatedly pounded with off-the-charts electricity bills, the great unwashed are starting […]

Unscheduled Battery Blowups Turning Electric Vehicles Into Mobile Time Bombs

The transition to electric vehicles is hardly going to plan: sales have collapsed in the US, EV manufacturers are bleeding cash and insurers are cranking up premiums to account for an uptick in the number of unscheduled battery blowups – aka ‘thermal runaways’. The vehicle doesn’t go anywhere, it simply self-immolates in a plume of […]

Compounding Problems: Wind Industry’s Fortunes Never Looked So Woeful

2023 will go down as the year that the wind industry began its inevitable implosion. Unable to deliver power as and when power consumers need it (therefore generating electricity with no commercial value), the wind industry was only ever the product of mandates, tax breaks and massive subsidies. Call it a Ponzi scheme, call it […]

Sun Sets On Subsidised Solar Scam: Solar Energy Share Prices Plummet 40% Overnight

Investors are dumping solar energy shares in the same way users discard worn out panels after their brutally short and punishingly expensive lives. Any ‘industry’ that relies for its existence on other people’s money never lasts all that long. As Margaret Thatcher put it: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of […]

America’s Wind Industry Implodes: More Offshore Projects Scrapped

In the US the offshore wind industry is completely underwater, in every sense. The insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments has finally caught up. Projects are being scrapped in the same way that punters rip up their betting slips when their long-shot nag fails […]

Why Wind & Solar Are Wrecking Our Economic Prosperity & National Security

Dilute, diffuse, intermittent and unreliable, wind and solar make no sense. They will never constitute meaningful power generation sources. They were only designed as subsidy generation sources. As governments pull the plug on subsidies, wind power outfits and turbine makers are pulling the plug on their projects and production. Siemens Energy is losing cash like […]

Diesel-Driven: Electric Car Charging Stations Powered by Giant Banks of Diesel Generators

While wind and solar advocates reckon we’ll all soon be driving electric vehicles charged up using sunshine and breezes, it’s ‘dirty’ old diesel that’s doing all the hard work. In Australia, those seemingly virtuous souls with EVs are really being propelled by coal, because 85% of the electricity passing through its Eastern grid comes from […]

Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power Projects

The laws of economics don’t discriminate: where the costs of any venture outweigh its benefits, investors stay at home. Originally lured with the meme about wind power being free, and getting cheaper all the time, plenty of hopefuls poured cash into wind power outfits like NextEra, Avangrid and turbine manufacturers like Siemens. Lately, however, the […]
