Ingrained Insanity: Self-Inflicted Renewable Energy Disaster Leaves Australians Powerless
19 Jun 2022 Leave a comment
Australia is yet another perfect example of how to trash a power supply with heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar.
Germany, California and Texas led the charge and Australia’s so-called renewable energy capital, South Australia was amongst the front runners.
SA set the tone with Australia’s first statewide blackout – during a spring storm which saw the automatic shutdown of hundreds of wind turbines unable to cope with gale force winds – and dozens of mass load shedding events, every time the sun set and/or calm weather set in.
The cancer soon spread, infecting the entire Eastern Grid, which connects Queensland, New Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.
Over the last week, power consumers have not only been whacked with massive increases in their power bills, they’ve been told to not use power in order to preserve the little that is being produced by Australia’s remaining coal-fired…

Climate mythology update: UK ‘can’t go climate neutral before 2050’
19 Jun 2022 Leave a comment
They must be hoping to bludgeon people into accepting the ‘climate neutral’ nonsense if they keep spouting it for long enough. Any government that says “you can’t fly anywhere on holiday any more” isn’t going to last long.
The UK cannot reach net zero before 2050 unless people stop flying and eating red meat, a report says.
But it warns that the British public do not look ready to take such steps and substantially change their lifestyle, says BBC News.
The report challenges the views of campaign group Extinction Rebellion.

Is the UK on track to meet its ‘net zero’ targets?
18 Jun 2022 Leave a comment
The COP 26 climate jamboree has been and gone, and the BBC looks at some of the energy numbers as the UK government pursues its net zero obsession. One obvious and increasing problem is the erratic deficiency of wind and solar power at various times in every 24-hour period, requiring either massive, expensive energy storage capacity or acceptance of power gaps once gas power stations are removed from the system, or most likely both. Complaining about expensive gas, only to propose something yet more costly which doesn’t even generate its own power, lacks economic or any other sense. Nuclear is jogging along in the background but won’t be centre stage any time soon, if ever.

The UK has committed to reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions to net zero by 2050, says BBC News.
Net zero is the point at which the country is taking as much of…
