Without reliable and affordable electricity, civilisation as we know it wouldn’t last a week. Absolutely everything we do depends on having power as and when we need it. Or, as Tyson Culver and Robert Bryce call it “Juice”. Over several years now, Tyson and Robert have been attempting to educate Americans about where their power […]

The apparent object of the wind and solar ‘transition’ is to destroy reliable and affordable power supplies. The evidence suggests we are well on our way. Hijacked by ideologues with arts degrees and bankrolled by crony capitalists ready to make a fast buck, at your expense, energy policy is playing out as one almighty nightmare […]

Having trashed the cheapest and most reliable power supply in the world, the Australian (failed) State of Victoria simply can’t keep the lights on. Hundreds of thousands of families were left boiling in the dark last week, and it took days to restore power across the People’s Republic. Melbourne Airport was left without power for […]

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 […]

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 […]
Broken Dreams: Constant Calm Weather Wiping Out Britain’s Wind Industry

The ‘constraint payments’ paid to wind power outfits are commercial extortion, where the (occasional) producer claims a fee for producing absolutely nothing, at all. The honourable kidnapper at least hands over his victim when he gets the cash and there’s something to show for the exchange. In this case, the victims are unwitting taxpayers and […]

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 […]

Environmental rules and regulations that activists have used for years to drown disfavored infrastructure projects in litigation are now threatening a key pillar of President Joe Biden’s massive climate agenda.

The French are just the latest European power to ditch ludicrous wind and solar generation targets in favour of nuclear power. And Britain is lining up to do much the same. Both have adopted net zero carbon oxide gas emissions targets, and the only way of meeting them is safe, reliable and affordable nuclear power. […]

2023 was the year when the offshore wind industry’s grand implosion began. Major investors bailed out as the insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments began to bite. Dozens of projects have been scrapped and others are now highly doubtful. And for those wind power outfits […]

Being pounded with 20% increases in power bills, year after year, is all part of the grand wind and solar transition. Every single country that’s tapped into subsidised wind and solar has seen retail power prices rocket – no exceptions. It’s one case where whatever goes up, never comes down. The promise of cheap electricity […]
