The owners of fast-start diesel and gas-generators make out like bandits, as the spot price for power goes from less than $100 per MWh to tens of thousands of dollars per MWh. Couple a sudden collapse of wind […]

Wind power acolytes exhibit all the hallmarks of a cult. 20 years on, and anyone with critical faculties can explain in a sentence why wind power will never amount to meaningful power generation source. But the cultist still believes – running on a mix of blind faith, ignorance and blissful stupidity. Cults are never big […]

Hiding in plain view, these characters become even more conspicuous when they start ranting about the (purportedly staggering) costs and (supposedly deadly) safety risks of nuclear power generation. The argument run by this crowd is powered […]
