Wind, Solar, Batteries: The High Cost of Duplicative Energy
“The data make it clear that the only possible rationale for renewable energy—making significant reductions of CO2 emissions—cannot be achieved. The costs of attempting to do this are already imposing…
How the Green Energy Narrative confuses things
The green energy narrative works somewhat like a magician’s patter, overemphasizing many things of irrelevance and distracting the audience from the important things going on. Misdirection ensures small truths are…
UK Worse Place in World to Put Solar Power
When everything is taken into account, there is no case for solar power.
Storm Darragh leaves UK’s Biggest solar farm in pieces
Just as well we don’t rely on renewables for all of our electricity then!

“If wind, solar and storage can’t keep the beer cold in a small city like Broken Hill, how will it perform when called upon to power the rest of the…
Big Energy Policy Mistake: “All Of The Above”
It’s a little late for this election cycle, but I would highly suggest that it is time to ditch this nonsense. Renewables (and carbon capture, and hydrogen) either don’t work…
Will wind and solar hammer hydro in Washington State?
There are lots of reasons to constrain the galloping growth of wind and solar. Issues like unreliability, excessive cost and environmental destruction. None of them is funny. But the idea…
Renewables Subsidies Hit New August Record
The addition of the newer, cheaper offshore wind farms has not had a significant impact on the subsidy per MWh. The reduction in average strike price has been overwhelmed by…
Why There Will Never Be A Zero Emissions Electricity System Powered Mainly By Wind And Sun
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…
Why Are Renewable Equipment Companies Such Poor Investments?
This month, the RENIXX stood at 1,013 points, essentially zero value growth over the last 18 years. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index more than quadrupled over the same period.…
More Solar Silliness In The New York Times
The solar hype continued last month in the pages of the New York Times with an article by David Wallace-Wells headlined, “What Will We Do With Our Free Power?” The…
The Green New Deal could make electricity 28 times more expensive
Below I show how the Green New Deal can cause the average household electricity bill to go up a crushing $52,500. The reason is simple. Wind and solar require a…
Tangled Comparisons: Renewables Versus Fossil Fuels
Wind or solar costs around five times more per megawatt hour compared to, for example, natural gas.
Can American Conservation Survive ‘Green’ Energy?
A future with denser, cleaner urban footprints that preserve natural habitats requires that we continue to decrease the natural resources and land we consume, particularly with our population predicted to peak…
World’s Most Populous Nation Has Put Solar Out To Pasture. Other Countries Should Follow Suit
The story of Dharnai serves as a cautionary tale for the implementation of renewable energy projects in rural India, where pragmatism is the official choice over pie in the sky.
Joe Biden’s Energy Policies Are Based on Fantasies and Fairy Tales

Telegraph Compares Solar Capacity with Nuclear!
The clueless reporter evidently does not understand the difference between CAPACITY and GENERATION.
False Energy Transition: The View from Australia (Nick Cater, Menzies Research Centre)
In the current ‘transition’, the process is reversed unless we are prepared to countenance the mass use of nuclear technology.
