For too long, the impact and cost of the Climate Change Act has been deliberately hidden from the public. Partly this has been the result of a political conspiracy between all of the major political parties and establishment in general. It has also been aided and abetted by all of the media, with a handful of notable exceptions.

Hundreds of these things have spontaneously self-incinerated around the world, with the real potential to destroy life and property for miles around. But the wind industry and its government enablers, couldn’t care less. When turbines erupt in toxic fireballs, firefighters can only stand back and watch. When and wherever these things explode into balls of […]

No Hopers: Inability to Deliver On Demand Makes Wind & Solar Utterly Pointless

Part-time power has no commercial value, which is why wind and solar are utterly pointless. Every single MW of wind or solar has to be “backed up” with another MW from a dispatchable source, which in the main means coal, gas, nuclear or hydro. Contemplate where your power comes from on a calm night, and […]

Environmentalists insist that they love the “little guys” — until they get in their way, ask inconvenient questions or try to block renewable energy projects intended to save the planet from “human-caused climate cataclysms.”

It is encouraging that my intervention drew an enthusiastic round of applause which is testament to the growing scepticism about Net Zero among the general public. It appears to me that cracks are appearing in the cosy green consensus in Westminster and if we get our arguments right, we can win this debate.

Germany’s wind and solar obsessed energy policy has delivered a perfect power pricing and supply calamity. Not only did their green tinged lunatics squander billions on chaotically intermittent wind and solar, they deliberately destroyed one of Europe’s best run nuclear power generation fleets, in the bargain. Whenever calm, cloudy weather hits – aka ‘dunkelflaute’ – […]

Only wealthy Westerners have the luxury of pretending to get their power from sunshine and breezes.

Why There Will Never Be A Zero Emissions Electricity System Powered Mainly By Wind And Sun
30 Sep 2024 Leave a comment
in energy economics, environmental economics, global warming Tags: solar power, wind power
he reason is that the intermittency of wind and solar generators means that they require full back-up from some other source. But the back-up source will by hypothesis be woefully underused and idle most of the time so long as most of the electricity comes from wind and sun. No back-up source can possibly be economical under these conditions, and therefore nobody will develop and deploy such a source.
