‘Green’ Hydrogen Hoax Implodes: The Economics Simply Don’t Stack Up
17 Sep 2023 1 Comment
in energy economics, environmental economics, global warming
The wind and solar scammers raking in massive subsidies have been joined by the ‘hydrogen huckster’, just as eager to exploit an opportunity when he sees one; an opportunity to gouge untold $billions from taxpayers. The shakedown is said to be justified on the bogus pretext that they’re out to save the planet. Scratch the […]

Coal-fired power is at the heart of India’s mission to lift millions out of poverty. India has 285 plants with a capacity of 211GW already operating; it’s currently building a further 30GW of coal-fired generation capacity, with a further 35GW in pre-construction stages. A visit to India shows how serious it is about serious power […]

Simply Irresistible: Why Plugging Into Small Modular Reactors Makes Perfect Sense

Listen to the wind and sun cult and you’d think that Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are a work of far-fetched Science Fiction. The reality is that some 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. None of which sits with the narrative pitched by […]

Credit: Scottish Power Hydrogen is no more the wonder gas than CO2 is the opposite. Apart from being very expensive to produce using so-called ‘green’ methods, it’s running into various obstacles elsewhere, such as absence of infrastructure. – – – Europe’s time spent sleepwalking to the tune of hydrogen lobbyists – draining funds and political […]

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Trainwreck: Australians Face More Summer Blackouts

Dry spells, spell hot summers in Australia, which spell load shedding and mass blackouts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. The summer of 2017/18 was a scorcher. Back then, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy-hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced […]

Britain’s Wind Industry In Freefall: Rising Costs See More Major Projects Scrapped

in energy economics, environmental economics, global warming
The value of subsidies to wind power is falling, while the cost of erecting and operating these things has skyrocketed. The result is a complete collapse in wind power capacity investment in Britain, and elsewhere. The usual suspects are running a mile from projects that were (on paper) worth billions. While the wind industry pretends […]

Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Leaves Germans Suffering Europe’s Highest Power Prices

German power prices, already the highest in Europe, have gone stratospheric. Once Europe’s industrial powerhouse, Germany is fast headed for economic ruin and social disaster. 20 years back, Germany’s Green/Socialist utopians – utterly detached from reality – dreamt up the ‘Energiewende’. However, the purported ‘transition’ to an all-wind and sun-powered future has turned dystopian nightmare. […]

Following California’s Renewable Energy Lead Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices & Blackouts

In their sillier moments, the wind and sun cult point to places like California or Germany as prime examples of energy Nirvana. Then come the facts. California and Germany have most certainly led the charge in backing heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, but they’ve also led the charge on rocketing power prices […]

Resistance Is Futile: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Can Only Be Met With Nuclear Power

The fact that those pushing net-zero emissions targets aren’t talking seriously about nuclear power, says it all. If energy policy is left in the hands of the wind and sun cult – and other weather-obsessed lunatics – it won’t be long before we’re all left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark. Those with financial […]

Not So Bright Spark: Grand Renewable Energy ‘Battery’ Plan Runs Flat
29 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
Hubris drives the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’, which now depends upon the myth of giant batteries compensating for the vagaries of the weather and sunset. These mythical batteries come in all shapes and sizes and with enough added hyperbole have grown to include the entire island state of Tasmania. Touted with the rent-seeking classes’ […]

Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & SolarNick Cater

As in life, government policy is about trade-offs, which usually means plumping for the good rather than the perfect. However, in the de-industrialising West, energy policy is all about rejecting the good in favour of the unworkable. The notion that weather-dependent wind, and weather and sunshine-dependent solar (with or without pumped hydro or mythical mega-batteries) […]
