The wind and solar ‘transition’ is being sold as Utopia – but anyone prepared to believe that will believe anything. In Germany and Britain, a growing number are starting to work it out. They’ve been lied to; they’re angry and there will be a political vengeance against those who have delivered misery of a type not seen since Europe dragged itself out of the ashes of WWII.

The delusional reliance on subsidised wind and solar is the root cause. The idea that modern industrial economies can operate around the vagaries of weather is being revealed for the patent nonsense that it truly is. The same goes for the notion that power prices don’t really matter.

Rafe Champion provides a neat little roundup of why we’ll never reach the renewable energy Utopia that we’ve all been promised for so long.

China is profiting nicely from the West’s maniacal obsession with subsidised wind and solar – it dominates the global market for solar panels, with plenty of unwilling assistance from its captive Uighur ethnic minority; and has picked up a solid share of the wind turbine market, thanks to cheap and reliable nuclear and coal-fired power.

Europe’s turbine makers can’t compete, ironically, because Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ has driven power prices into orbit.

With Joe Biden in the White House, the CCP must be delighted. America already squanders billions on subsidies to wind and solar; Sleepy Joe has amped up things up with another lazy US$100 billion in taxpayer largess.

Where the bulk of that money is headed is no mystery, as Setton Motley reports below.
