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…

The New York Times’ blowhard economics writer Paul Krugman apparently didn’t sense the stupidity in pontificating to readers about the supposed need to “politicize” the weather. Yes, you read that right.

Krugman took a pit stop from his usual Keynesian blather on economics to go on another ridiculous climate change rant in a July 17 op-ed headlined, “Why We Should Politicize the Weather.” The self-aggrandizing economist kicked up a stink over Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis’ recent statement that he “‘always rejected the politicization of the weather.’” But in Krugman’s pseudo-intellectual worldview, “we absolutely should politicize the weather.” In fact, he proclaimed with gusto, “weather is a political issue. And Americans should be aware that it’s one of the most important issues they’ll be voting on next November.” Cue the canned laughter.

Krugman’s ad nauseum whining about the leftist climate change boogeyman is even more comical…
