Strong opposition to new gas pipelines plus increasing reliance on intermittent renewables can only end badly for consumers of power. – – – As much as two-thirds of the United States could experience blackouts in peak winter weather this […]

The smart money is banking on the wind and solar industries’ total collapse; the smartest money was never invested in the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time. With subsidised wind and solar looking more like a house of cards, dozens of grand standing projects are being unceremoniously dumped. The potential investors targeted by their proponents […]

Ideological experiments come in all shapes and sizes, but Germany’s wind and solar craze is monumental – a monumental environmental, economic and social disaster, to put it mildly. Suffering routine power rationing, mass blackouts and Europe’s highest power prices is only just the pointy end of what Germany’s boffins called the ‘Energiewende’, which was touted […]

Setting pointless targets and announcing five-year plans is all the rage, which includes playing accounting tricks with carbon dioxide gas emissions. So-called net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions targets are just the latest tool employed by crony capitalists to separate the poor from their hard-earned cash. Those behind the scam know full well the targets they […]
