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’
Farmers Uninsurable Risk: Solar Factory Neighbours Face Total Financial Ruin
Farmers have no hope of insuring their properties to cover damage caused to neighbouring solar factories. Public liability cover in property insurance contracts ordinarily caps out at around $20 million in Australia. As with any type of insurance, the greater the cover, the greater the premium. Although, there are certain risks that no insurer will … Continue reading Farmers Uninsurable Risk: Solar Factory Neighbours Face Total Financial Ruin
Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
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 … Continue reading Unaffordable & Unreliable Electricity Inevitable Result of Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Life’s Essentials: Everything Depends on Carbon Dioxide Gas
Quiz a teenager on photosynthesis and you’ll be met with blank looks. Ask them about the greatest threat to humanity and they’ll hit you with the evils of ‘carbon pollution’. Try getting them to define what they mean by ‘carbon’, and you’ll find they have no idea that the villain of their nightmares is really … Continue reading Life’s Essentials: Everything Depends on Carbon Dioxide Gas
No Care & No Responsibility: Massive Subsidies Only Reason Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Exist
Sun’s up, wind’s blowing and wind and solar power is flowing. Wind drops, Sun sets and you’re on your own. The so-called wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you’re left freezing in the dark. Your power supply is somebody else’s problem. In this three-part essay, Edward A Reid Jr targets the unhealthy relationship … Continue reading No Care & No Responsibility: Massive Subsidies Only Reason Wind & Solar ‘Industries’ Exist
California’s Wind & Solar Calamity: Power Prices Rocketing Out of Control
There’s no mystery as to why California suffers the highest prices and routine load shedding and blackouts: in 2018, California had 80 GW of installed generation capacity encompassing more than 1,500 power plants; with 41 GW of natural gas, 26.5 GW of ‘renewables’ (12 GW solar, 6 GW wind), 12 GW of large hydroelectric, and … Continue reading California’s Wind & Solar Calamity: Power Prices Rocketing Out of Control
Renewable Energy Batteries: Toxic Timebombs, Delivering Truly Trivial Output
The grand wind and solar ‘transition’ looks ridiculous enough, but claims about giant batteries fixing the grand intermittency problem look positively idiotic. The cost of storing meaningful volumes of power is staggering, accordingly the volumes actually available for release into the grid are positively trivial. Then there’s the battle that giant lithium-ion batteries have with … Continue reading Renewable Energy Batteries: Toxic Timebombs, Delivering Truly Trivial Output
