Time to Ditch Meaningless Medieval Wind Power & Embrace Modern Nuclear Power
22 Aug 2022 Leave a comment
Wind power was abandoned centuries ago, for pretty obvious reasons, known to kite flyers and sailors, since the beginning of time. Sure, in medieval times, when there was no alternative, harnessing nature’s energy make sense. But not now.
It was coal that dragged Europe out of the Dark Ages, by providing around-the-clock power, not windmills.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to explain the relationship between total collapses in wind and solar output and sunset and calm weather.
True enough the political intelligentsia have done all they can to have the masses believe otherwise but, anticipating that the mob will surely revolt if left freezing in the dark for any length of time, the focus is now on power that can be delivered on-demand, come what may.
And if coal-fired power is off the menu, there really is only one game in town: nuclear.
Ex-Cabinet minister Lord Frost says there…

Chasing The ‘Green’ Energy Dream: Or ‘How I Wasted 20 Years of My Life’
08 Aug 2022 Leave a comment
Plenty start out as fans of wind and solar power and turn against it, but it’s hard to find opponents who later become supporters.
Present the facts to reasonable people, and they’ll want to know how the wind and solar scam got started in the first place and why it hasn’t been stopped in its tracks already?
On that score, there has been plenty of ‘road to Damascus conversions’ amongst environmentalists, originally hoodwinked by the allure of energy sources designed to run on nothing but sunshine and breezes, and meant to save the planet from every possible threat, not least a (naturally) changing climate.
Michael Shellenberger – who started out as a passionate eco-warrior – has since become one of the wind and solar scam’s loudest critics, and the most forceful advocate for nuclear power, there is. He has slammed intermittent renewables as worse than useless – and has gone…

Unable to Pay Their Rocketing Power Bills, Germans Told to ‘Huddle Up’ Next Winter
01 Aug 2022 Leave a comment
Germany’s obsession with unreliable wind and solar has households and businesses paying the Europe’s highest power prices, when electricity isn’t being rationed, that is.
That more than 300,000 German households can no longer afford electricity, comes as no surprise. That hundreds of thousands of people in Europe’s richest economy are forced to heat their homes using timber scavenged from forests is criminal. But, that’s what the inevitable transition to an all wind and solar powered future looks like, for those forced to suffer it.
A few months from now, as another bitter northern European winter bites, those households will be belted from both angles: power and gas prices continue to skyrocket to a level that hundreds of thousands more will be unable to light and heat their homes.
But, never fear, their local governments have a cunning plan to prevent their constituents from freezing to death.
With a nod to…
