Paul Schwennesen explains the nefarious intent behind this latest government hostile takeover in his Daily Economy article. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images. Cow farts are a distraction, and the joke’s on us. The Danish tax is a significant step toward state ownership of the means of production. Denmark, according to The New […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Paul Kolk Why does Miliband think he has the right to spend our money as he sees fit? Ministers have been forced to step in and rescue a wind turbine factory after collapsing demand for blades pushed it to near collapse. Wind turbine maker Vestas on Wednesday said […]

For a civil society to work smoothly and effectively certain ‘social contracts’ need to have broad acceptance and be honoured by all individuals and groups. They are unwritten rules we tacitly observe. They provide a framework of understandings that allow us to live harmoniously. Some of these ‘rules’ or social contracts get defined or backed…

Cost-benefit analyses affirm it would be better to abandon Net Zero policy initiatives and instead “do nothing” about greenhouse gas emissions. New research finds CO2’s largest possible climate impact is “negligible.” The cumulative expected temperature change in doubling CO2 from 400 to 800 ppm is only 0.81°C at most, and this is “certainly not cause…

Only a few months ago, the Chair of the NZ Green Investment Fund (NZGIF) and Chancellor of the University of Auckland, Cecilia Tarrant, visited my “Law and Economics” class. Why? She’s a lawyer who worked in “structured products” and “real estate finance” at Morgan Stanley in New York – and knows a Kiwi friend of…

Lack of realism isn’t unusual in anything connected to the so-called net zero policies of climate-obsessed governments. The researchers say unsustainable land use is an inevitable future problem given existing plans, largely due to tree-planting and other forestry targets. – – – For the first time, an international team of scientists have calculated the total […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Hugh Sharman If wind power was so cheap, you would think they would be queuing up to build them: The Danish Energy Agency has not received a single bid for any of the three offshore wind farms in the North Sea, the agency said in a […]

A run of calm nights (particularly during very hot or very cold weather) reveals the utter pointlessness of intermittent wind and solar. And, so it is in the land Downunder. Australia’s hard Green-Left Federal government is doing its best to stare down reality, as its grand wind and solar ‘transition’ unravels. The so-called energy ‘policy’ […]

by Planning Engineer (Russ Schussler) In October of 2025, the isolated small city of Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia with a 36 MW load (including the large nearby mines) could not be reliably served by 200 MW of wind, a 53 MW solar array, significant residential solar, and a large 50 MW battery […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Paul Kolk British bill payers have spent an “absurd” £1bn to temporarily switch off wind turbines so far this year as the grid struggles to cope with their power. The amount of wind power “curtailed” in the first 11 months of 2024 stood at about 6.6 terawatt hours (TWh), […]

It is now plausible to envision scenarios in which global demand for crude oil falls to essentially zero by the end of this century, driven by improvements in clean energy technologies, adoption of stringent climate policies, or both. This paper asks what such a demand decline, when anticipated, might mean for global oil supply. One […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
