Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing.

Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position to backtrack before it was too late. The French sit within the former category, the Swedes in the latter, recently ditching self-destructive plans to rely on wind and solar, plumping for new nuclear power, instead.

The French were, and remain, Europe’s biggest nuclear power generator, delivering reliable and affordable electricity to the German and British neighbours, among others – which is the reason the French are demanding that their dependents start building their own nuclear power generation capacity, instead of sponging off the French every time the sun sets or calm weather sets in.

In 2019, candidate Joe Biden pledged to voters that, if elected president, “We’re going to end fossil fuel.” Since taking office, he has worked ceaselessly with the radical environmentalists who call the shots and set the agenda to make good on his campaign promise by waging an all-out war against the production, distribution, and use of fossil fuels.

The Biden administration immediately cancelled the Keystone pipeline and then blocked other pipeline projects. It has drastically curtailed the issuance of leases and permits needed to develop fossil resources on public lands and offshore. It has denied applications to expand refinery capacity. And it has issued unattainable carbon dioxide emission limitations designed to force the closure of hundreds of fossil-fueled electric power plants currently in operation.

The Biden administration and its political allies in state and local governments have launched a…

The twisted logic of the wind and solar ‘transition’ means the only way of preventing blackouts is to force users to stop using electricity.

Australia’s Federal government is paying energy-hungry businesses (using taxpayer’s money, obviously) to stop producing whatever it is that they produce so they do not use electricity. Because that’s the only way the powers that be can secure the power that isn’t.

Total solar output collapses are thoroughly predictable. It’s called ‘sunset’.

Predicting total wind power output collapses simply means predicting periods of calm weather.

Juggling power demand around the weather is always tricky and a little like a game of musical chairs, where each round results in somebody missing out altogether.

The Brits have come up with their own farcical solution, as Paul Homewood reports below.

A bill from Senate Democrats to be marked up in committee Thursday would destroy the independence of the Supreme Court, a group of Republican senators said at a Wednesday press conference.

Six GOP lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee spoke about how the Supreme Court “ethics” bill drawn up by Democrats on their committee would be toxic to the country.

The Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act was authored by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I. On top of imposing many additional financial disclosure requirements for Supreme Court justices, it would allow any individual to file unlimited complaints…
