That’s a variation on an old joke about BMW’s, but it’s turning out to be even more true of EV’s: iSeeCars reported in January that, on average, “electric cars have a five-year depreciation rate of 49.1%… compared to an overall industry average of a 38.8% five-year depreciation rate.” Executive analyst Karl Brauer added, “This pattern will […]

By Paul Homewood LCV Registrations https://www.smmt.co.uk/vehicle-data/lcv-registrations/ Whilst EV car sales remain sluggish, the market for electric vans is even worse. The government’s ZEV mandate demands that 10% of van sales are electric this year, and this figure rises rapidly in the next few years. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pathway-for-zero-emission-vehicle-transition-by-2035-becomes-law However sales of the useless things gave actually […]

Volkswagen and Mercedes aren’t the first automakers to get cold feet over their earlier ludicrous electrification promises in the face of clear market apathy, but we can be 100% sure of one thing: they won’t be the last.

At the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) YouTube account, the young EIKE climate lady delivers the latest climate video, focusing on the Himalayas, which, as some of you may recall, would go ice-free by 2030, according to Prof. Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber. The video features a paper by Salerno et al, 2023: “Local cooling and…

By Paul Homewood Today’s bilge from the Guardian: The economic damage wrought by climate change is six times worse than previously thought, with global heating set to shrink wealth at a rate consistent with the level of financial losses of a continuing permanent war, research has found. A 1C increase in […]

Solar is powering a large share of California’s energy needs during the day and batteries are now powering a significant share at night. NYTimes: Since 2020, California has installed more giant batteries than anywhere in the world apart from China. They can soak up excess solar power during the day and store it for use […]

Germany’s costly and chaotic wind and solar transition has served up plenty of casualties. Large numbers of energy intensive manufacturers have already bailed out – chasing cheap power prices in places like the US and Singapore. Now, in a rather ironic twist, its solar panel manufacturing industry has all but thrown in the towel. Notwithstanding […]

Wind Industry Always Knew That Wind Turbine Noise Exposure Causes Adverse Health Effects

in energy economics, environmental economics, global warming, health economics Tags: wind power
The wind industry has worked very hard to cover up sleep deprivation and other adverse health effects caused by turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. It started with the woefully inadequate, indeed, utterly irrelevant noise standards written by the wind industry; and the institutional corruption that: a) allowed those standards to become the “benchmarks” in the first […]

Full-blown Financial Meltdown: Offshore Wind Industry’s Collapse Accelerates

America’s offshore wind industry is collapsing, both figuratively and literally. Offshore turbines have grown in capacity and size to the point where they simply collapse into the ocean. As do the financial prospects of those seeking to profit from them. One of the key players offshore – GE’s renewables division – backed up a solid […]

The wind and solar industries are struggling to win the hearts and minds of householders and businesses being belted by skyrocketing power prices. Built on lies and run on subsidies, it comes as no surprise that the truth about heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar would eventually work its way to the surface. […]

Sunset kills solar output the same way calm weather renders wind turbines utterly useless. Around the world $trillions have been squandered on occasional power generation which is always and everywhere dependent on sunshine and/or the weather. In the beginning, there was a perfectly functional power supply with reliable generators connected by a systematically designed grid […]
