Germans Brace For Energy Catastrophe: Prices Set to Triple When Nuclear & Coal Plants Close
02 Nov 2021 Leave a comment
Germany’s so-called ‘transition’ to wind and solar is an unmitigated disaster: power prices have rocketed and more blackouts loom this winter, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in.
Hellbent on self-destruction, the Germans are planning to kill off their last remaining nuclear power plants and are equally determined to axe all of their coal-fired power generation, too; despite nuclear and coal-fired power plants providing the only reliable power generation within Germany. No doubt they will be forced to increasingly rely upon French nuclear power and coal-fired power from Poland, if those plans come to fruition.
Already suffering Europe’s highest power prices, Germans are in for much worse, as No Tricks Zone reports.

Staggering Waste: Counting The Obscene Cost of Wind & Solar Subsidies
01 Nov 2021 Leave a comment
There would not be wind or solar industries in the absence of massive and endless subsidies. Those subsidies are either tacked on top of rocketing power bills and paid for by households and businesses; or they are provided in the form of tax credits or rebates to the owners and operators of wind turbines and solar panels; or they are provided to them by direct payment from governments for which all taxpayers are ultimately liable.
Governments and renewable energy rent-seekers have gone to considerable efforts to conceal how much subsidies are costing us; for obvious political reasons.
In Australia, as Alan Moran details below, the cost to date has been staggering and, if Scott Morrison signs up to a net-zero carbon dioxide gas emissions target, the cost born by households and businesses will be truly colossal.
