When the most heavily subsidised industry on earth can’t make it pay, you know the economics must really stink. Denmark’s Ørsted share price plummeted 25% late last year, and after slashing dividends to shareholders was forced to write $billions off the projected value of its US offshore projects, and its share price is still heading south. Exhibiting […]

From WSJ: The wave of early EV adopters willing to splurge had receded, and the next round of potential customers was proving more hesitant.

By “leaking” emissions to other countries, California successfully reduces its in-state emissions, but effectively induces net increases to the world’s emissions!

When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, wind and solar power can’t be bought, at any price. As we approach our inevitable transition, that means that daily power rationing becomes completely inevitable. The perceived logic of supplying consumers with electricity from nothing but wholly weather-dependent wind power and wholly sunshine-dependent solar power lacks […]

By Paul Homewood From The Telegraph: Labour’s green U-turn reflects the shifting sands of climate policy If you want to see how the politics of climate change are shifting, compare today with late 2009. In both cases, a general election was approaching. In October 2009, with the Copenhagen climate summit […]

The wind industry treats natural meteorological phenomenon – like calm weather – as a grand conspiracy. They’ve even coined their very own curse, calling such lengthy events “wind droughts”. Wind and solar-dependent Germans call gloomy, windless weather ‘dunkelflaute’. Wild claims being smashed by nature is a common feature of earthly hubris. Icarus learnt the hard […]
