Simply Staggering: Power Users Bear The True Cost of Subsidised Wind and Solar

Every state or country that ramps up wind and solar capacity ends up with rocketing power prices and an unreliable grid - no exceptions. Press members of the wind and sun cult for an example of the alternative outcome and they’ll quickly deflect and change the subject, keep pressing and then you’ll get ranting about … Continue reading Simply Staggering: Power Users Bear The True Cost of Subsidised Wind and Solar

Aboriginal Communities Unite to Stop These Things Wrecking Precious Animal Habitat

The wind industry’s planet saving methods include trashing pristine tropical rainforest and smashing the critters that once peacefully inhabited those forests, including Australia’s iconic koala. In our recent post - Licenced Exterminators: Government Greenlights Wind Industry’s Mass Koala Kill - we noted the instructions given by a wind farm operator to construction workers in dealing … Continue reading Aboriginal Communities Unite to Stop These Things Wrecking Precious Animal Habitat

Countries With Most Wind & Solar Generation Suffer World’s Highest Power Prices

As night follows day, adding more wind and solar capacity inevitably results in rocketing power prices. The hard numbers say it all. China enjoys the world’s lowest power prices, thanks to cheap, abundant and reliable coal-fired power. Adding to their advantage, China is building dozens of new coal-fired and nuclear powered plants. It’s almost as … Continue reading Countries With Most Wind & Solar Generation Suffer World’s Highest Power Prices

Offshore Wind Industry Targets Australian Coastline For Wholesale Whale Slaughter

The ultra-high-decibel sonar emitted by wind industry survey vessels during wind farm construction deafens marine mammals, so does piledriving: the repetitive, percussive pounding of the columns that support the turbines (see above); the piles are 8m in diameter and over 100m long – 30-60m of which gets punched into the seabed. The offshore wind industry … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Targets Australian Coastline For Wholesale Whale Slaughter

Zombie Apocalypse: Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse With More Projects Scrapped

The wind industry is looking a lot like a zombie apocalypse; evidently dead on its feet, but refusing to accept its mortality and die with dignity. The offshore wind industry in the US looks like a bloodbath, with dozens of major projects scrapped outright. Investors have pulled the plug, never to return. In Australia dozens … Continue reading Zombie Apocalypse: Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse With More Projects Scrapped

Turn Up The Base(Load): Nuclear Plants Keep Delivering Power All Day, Every Day

The history of civilisation is a story based on harnessing electricity - its future will be one based on building baseload nuclear power. Always on, whatever the weather, no need for batteries, no need for back up - clean, safe, reliable - nuclear power ticks all the boxes. An energy hungry world is chewing up … Continue reading Turn Up The Base(Load): Nuclear Plants Keep Delivering Power All Day, Every Day

Grand Solar Power Rush Ends With Panels Being Used As Garden Fencing

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 … Continue reading Grand Solar Power Rush Ends With Panels Being Used As Garden Fencing

US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade

The only thing scalable about wind and solar is the subsidies gouged from power consumers and/or taxpayers. While rent seekers can plant turbines and scatter solar panels from horizon to horizon, they can’t make the sun shine or the wind blow. Accordingly, sunset and/or calm weather makes the whole thing utterly pointless, at any scale. … Continue reading US Taxpayers Hit With $425 Billion For Wind & Solar Subsidies Over Next Decade

Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year

Every single job in Britain’s wind and solar industry is costing taxpayers £250,000 every year, ad infinitum. Currently that figure converts to AU$482,000 or US$310,000, which is hardly chump change for a feel good job creation scheme. And the fact that taxpayers will be forking out that kind of cash for every so-called ‘green job’ … Continue reading Outrageous Fortunes: Every ‘Green’ Job Costs British Taxpayers £250,000 Every Year

Loser Always Pays Staggering Hidden Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’

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 … Continue reading Loser Always Pays Staggering Hidden Cost of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
