Not For Profit: Offshore Wind Power Projects Wiped Out By Rising Costs
29 Sep 2023 Leave a comment
Want to make a small fortune in the offshore wind industry? Then start with a large one. In the absence of endless subsidies and guaranteed, fixed-price contracts (set at ludicrously high prices), the purported economic case for wind power never, ever stacks up. And the numbers are far worse out at sea. Take a machine […]

The big National numbers had been in the Back Pocket Boost package a few weeks ago, combined with the statement from Willis last week that National would get back to an OBEGAL surplus no sooner […]

More on the canceled anthropology panel on sex: an anthropology society defends deplatforming the panel as transphobic
29 Sep 2023 Leave a comment
Yesterday I wrote a post about how two anthropological societies decided to cancel a panel on the biology of sex and gender because they considered it “harmful” to the listeners. As I wrote: I’m probably late to the party, but the latest gossip about the Authoritarian Left involves the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and the…

29 Sep 2023 Leave a comment
Chris Trotter writes – IN THE CURRENT MIX of electoral alternatives, there is no longer a credible left-wing party. Not when “a credible left-wing party” is defined as: a class-oriented, mass-based, democratically-structured political organisation; dedicated to promoting ideas sharply critical of laissez-faire capitalism; and committed to advancing democratic, egalitarian and emancipatory ideals across the whole […]

in energy economics, environmental economics, global warming
By Paul Homewood London, 28 September – A new paper from the Net Zero Watch demonstrates conclusively renewables increase electricity bills — indeed, it is almost impossible that adding a new windfarm to the grid would ever reduce consumer prices. The author of the paper, Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford, outlines a […]

Thyere are three letters involved, […]

Texans Left Scrambling For Power As Wind Turbines Take Another Summer Vacation
28 Sep 2023 Leave a comment
Texas is littered with solar panels and wind turbines, but don’t expect them to deliver power as and when you need it. As happens most years, wind turbines across Texas have been on their annual summer vacation, for weeks now. In their absence, solar is able to pitch in for a while, but sunset has […]
