By Paul Homewood FES 2024 As well as the problem of not having enough wind power at times, there is also the issue of having too much at other times. Consequently we have to pay generators to switch off. The National Grid’s Future Energy Scenarios this year estimated that 42.5 TWh would have […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby Wind mills, solar farms and giant batteries. How to wreck the English countryside for no good reason! Mega projects designed to store renewable energy are drawing the ire of rural communities The bucolic Buckinghamshire village of Granborough, while picturesque, is not much of a landmark. […]

KamalaHarris hasn’t “moderated” on climate issues. She doubles down on “climate crisis” narrative, still supports net-zero energy policies that will harm grid stability, agriculture, and all energy-related sectors. Nor does she regret her IRA vote.

Subsidised wind and solar are the principal reason for rocketing power prices, and rocketing power prices are the principal reason for rocketing inflation. Branded as “cost of living pressures” the rapid doubling and tripling of retail power costs are always and everywhere about the market destruction caused by massive subsidies to intermittent and unreliable wind […]

Solar panels deliver power for around 6 hours a day, struggle during wet/cloudy weather and a decent hailstorm or hurricane wipes them out completely. Anyone recommending solar power as a solution to our growing need for electrical energy needs their head read. Certain parts of the world suffer regular, violent hailstorms, where hailstones outsize golf […]

There’s something altogether pathetic about those that push wind and solar as the path to an energy Utopia. A place where unicorns, fairies and pixies are in charge and numbers get treated with contempt. Numbers such as those collected by Frances Menton and Robert Bryce and the pieces below. Numbers that demonstrate that, after almost […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby Is there no limit that this moron will go to wreck this country? Giant wind turbines taller than London’s Gherkin building are to be built across Britain’s countryside after Ed Miliband rejected calls to impose a height limit. The Energy Secretary’s decision means turbines as high as 850ft can […]

The UK equivalent of China’s restrictions on renewable power generation would mean even larger constraint payments than the current £billions, and even bigger increases in costly transmission lines than already happening or planned. But that’s the implication of pushing ever harder for mythical net zero targets, resulting in greater fluctuations between excessive electricity and shortage […]
