When I was in college, over half a century ago, I took a course on Marxism. I wasn’t trying to fire up any anti-capitalistic fervor, I just wanted to learn something about an economic philosophy that ruled so much of the world at the time, or at least was the pretense for ruling so much of the world.

I say ‘pretense’ because Marxism has never made any economic sense. It’s a utopian vision utterly at odds with human nature. In brief, Marx thought that capitalism would so skew wealth and income toward the owners of capital that the working class, the proletariat, would eventually break the chains of their “enslavement” and expropriate the means of production, converting it all property to common ownership, public property.

Freed from the exploitation of the capitalist class, there would “inevitably” be “an enormous development of the productive forces of human…

If your idea of progress means never having power when you need it most, and never being able to afford it when you do get it, then the grand wind and solar transition is for you.

Guaranteed to deliver a power pricing and supply calamity, every time, heavily subsidised wind and solar are said to be the “future”.

Vanessa Mendoza and Troy Senik take a look at what that wind and sun ‘powered’ future means for you.

In the year 2000, there were fewer than two dozen major power disruptions in the United States. In 2020, there were 180. How did our electricity get so much less reliable?

A number of factors are at work in the growing instability of the grid. For one thing, much of…

In 2015, a Burisma executive emailed Hunter Biden and two of Hunter’s associates to discuss the “ultimate purpose” of Burisma’s contract with Hunter and his partners.

The wind industry and its acolytes are none too happy with the weather, because when the wind don’t blow, the power just don’t flow. At a loss to brush away the inherent chaos involved with wind power delivery, these characters are left to curse what they call ‘wind droughts’, as if the weather was something new.

One myth, long busted, is that if you spread enough wind turbines out over a large enough geographical expanse, there will always be wind power available, because “the wind is always blowing somewhere”.

The graphic above shows the location of every wind farm connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid; 79 in all. Turbines – with a combined capacity of 10,277 MW – are located from Far North Queensland, along the Great Dividing Range in southern Queensland and all the way down through New South Wales (across to Broken Hill, in Western NSW), all over Victoria…
