Access to reliable and affordable power is just another thing Westerners have taken for granted, for far too long. A band of weather-obsessed ideologues have set about methodically destroying our once perfectly affordable and thoroughly reliable power supplies, by propounding the delusional notion that wind and solar can replace that well-designed system which has powered […]

Crony capitalists wallowing in wind and solar subsidies and their ideologue enablers make sure the buck always stops with you. The cost of those subsidies is not only endless, it is simply staggering. In Australia the combined figure for subsidies to wind and solar is now in excess of $15 billion annually, and with the […]

By Paul Homewood One of my regular contacts has analysed wind power data over the last five years, using the official half-hourly National Grid data. The analysis highlights just how intermittent wind power can be: https://www.nationalgrideso.com/data-portal/historic-generation-mix/historic_gb_generation_mix

A decade from now, the wind and solar transition will resemble Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole – a place inhabited by lunatics and where nothing makes sense. Massive and seemingly endless subsidies have perverted the ordinary signals that free and open markets deliver. In Europe, the grand wind and solar rush has come to […]

As the sun sets on a calm afternoon, talk about a ‘wind and solar transition’ sounds delusional, because it is. The cult is driven by that very delusion, however. But those who have been dragged along for the ride are finally waking up to the fact that first world economies can’t run on sunshine and […]

Frozen wind turbines and solar panels buried under piles of snow and ice produce nothing at all, except photo opportunities. When the weather conspires against the ‘unreliables’, somewhere there will be a coal, or gas or diesel powered generator ready to swing into action and prevent you from freezing in the dark. However, if the […]

By Paul Homewood Building new gas power plants will, of course, “only make the transition to renewables-based power unnecessarily costly”. How do I know? Because I heard it from a bunch of climate activists calling themselves Beyond Fossil Fuels. What’s more, building new gas plants runs contrary to the “emerging consensus” that Europe […]

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 […]

There’s nothing wrong in theory about all-Electric Vehicles. But, if they really were a sensible substitute for petrol or diesel-powered vehicles, they’d already be jumping off the shelves. Except, for some strange reason, they aren’t. There’s plenty of irony attached to the all-EV cult: the world’s largest EV charging station is run entirely using diesel […]

So-called climate targets are once more proving to be a recipe for trouble wherever they appear. With a large nuclear fleet for its electricity generation, France is calling EU demands “the Europe we no longer want” and ignoring its directives, incurring the wagging finger of warning from Brussels. – – – The EU’s renewable energy […]

Opening a crushing power bill while sitting freezing (or boiling) in the dark focuses attention on the obvious and only cause: heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar. Delivered according to the whims of mother nature rather than the demands of human industry, activity and endeavour, wind and solar power were never going to […]
Political Power Shift: More Voters Refuse to Swallow Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Lie

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 […]

The closer countries get to the wind and solar transition, the faster they retreat from it. Across Europe, renewable energy targets have been ditched and replaced with policies built around always-on nuclear power. Finland, Sweden, France and Britain, for starters. Wind turbine and solar panel manufacturers are bleeding cash and their share values have been […]
