Denmark built its electricity system around the weather. Now it is discovering that the weather is unreliable. Politiken admits the country is "deeply dependent" on neighboring states when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow. Over recent years, Denmark has closed dependable generating capacity, expanded...

🇺🇸 ENERGY SEC. WRIGHT: WIND AND SOLAR CAN’T REPLACE RELIABLE ENERGY "The problem with wind is that the wind doesn't always blow. If the wind is blowing, you can say it's powered by wind power, then the wind stops or the wind gets weaker. Something has to fill that gap in always be there. So when you add wind and solar onto a grid, you don't remove the need for coal plants, for nuclear plants, for natural gas plants, that work all the time. So to maintain two grids instead of one grid is always more expensive." Source: Fox News

Germany built one of the largest wind and solar fleets on Earth. It dismantled its nuclear power stations and retired its coal, with the promise that green energy would power its future. The country spent billions transitioning. Then winter arrived, and Dunkelflaut hit - the dark windless dead zone. Wind and solar fell to barely 5% of demand. The grid staggered, and Germany was forced to fire up old coal plants it said had closed forever, and import expensive nuclear from France. This is the physics politicians fail to mention, and a point many people still fail to grasp. When the wind dies and the sun sets, renewables disappear. And the only way the grid survives, the only reason countless millions don't freeze to death, is thanks to oil, coal, nuclear and gas.

The UK has 32 GW of installed wind capacity, but that is the brochure figure. Over the weekend, output fell to just 0.6 GW (less than 2%). And it happened overnight, when solar was at zero. So Britain had a renewable fleet on paper, but functionally nothing arriving on the grid. For hours, wind stayed below 10% of capacity. Batteries do not fix that. They smooth short gaps. They cannot carry a country through long wind droughts. So the real system still needs gas. Ready, paid for, and able to run immediately at 100% capacity whenever weather-based power drops out. That is the hidden cost. Build the renewables, then build the backup, then pretend the first system replaced the second.

Wind power is sold as technological progress, but German professor Ludecke disagrees and has called it a return to the Medieval Ages. His calculation puts Germany's onshore wind output at an annual average of just 3.6 watts per square meter, whereas a coal plant comes in at 7,000 watts. That gap cannot be fixed with a taller tower or a larger blade. Wind is weak, scattered and weather dependent. And the output collapses quickly: half the wind speed and the available power falls to one-eighth. To harvest wind, turbines must be spread across vast areas, connected by new transmission lines and backed by reliable power plants for when the wind drops. Civilization advanced by replacing diffuse, unreliable energy with concentrated controllable power. Net Zero reverses that progress.

Belgium spent more than 20 years dismantling its nuclear power system in the name of 'green ideology.' Dole 3 and Tihange 2 were closed first. Then, in 2025, Belgium permanently shut Dole 1, Tihange 1 and Dole 2. Only Dole 4 and Tihange 3 now survive, rescued with emergency 10-year extensions. The result has been costly. Belgium's net electricity imports climbed to 14 terawatt hours in 2025, mainly from France and the Netherlands. And while domestic nuclear output fell sharply, the two surviving reactors still supplied 34% of Belgian electricity. The supposed replacement is a vast offshore wind project, but that will not be fully available until around 2032. Belgium closed dependable domestic power before its unreliable replacement even existed. The country did not achieve energy independence, as was the goal, it merely dismantled its own generating capacity and imported the shortfall from its neighbors (who use the same source: nuclear) at great cost.

Britain has paid billions in subsidies to build thousands of turbines across its countryside. But when high pressure systems move in, wind collapses. During these calm spells, wind generation can fall to almost nothing, as low as 0.2% of the grid. When that happens, the grid scrambles. Coal is restarted, gas plants carry the bulk of the load and supply warnings are issued. This is the reality few in elected office seem to grasp. When the weather calms, which it regularly does, wind power disappears from the grid. Britain only stays online thanks to dispatchable energy systems picking up the slack. The country would be better off, both financially and in terms of energy security, if it simply ran off dispatchable power in the first place.

I’ve seen a lot of bad reporting during my career. But the piece published by Bloomberg on Dec 16 about Germany’s faltering economy doesn’t even mention the Energiewende or the wind drought that have led to soaring prices across the country. Germany has wasted $750B on an energy system is unreliable and expensive. And now German industry is fleeing. #germany #energiewende #alternativeenergy #greenenergy #solar #wind #climate #climatechange #nuclear #oil #gas #electricity #electricgrid #EU

Wind and solar look cheap on paper, but only because their true costs are hidden. Power grids must balance supply and demand every second. Wind and solar cannot do that. Their output follows the weather, which is variable. So every megawatt of wind or solar requires a matching megawatt of reliable backup. A 100 MW wind farm does not replace a 100 MW gas plant. The gas plant still has to be built, staffed, fueled and kept ready at all times. Consumers are effectively paying for two systems, but only one is accounted for. Think of it like hiring a worker who only shows up 30% of the time. The hourly wage looks cheap, but you still need a fully trained backup worker available 24-7 to fill in for the other 70%. That backup is required and still costs money even when sitting idle. But the extra cost is ignored. This accounting trick explains why renewables look inexpensive in charts, while electricity prices soar in grids that rely heavily on them. Globally, the renewable failure is clear. In 2024, solar supplied just 1.4% of global primary energy. Wind supplied about 1.5%. Fossil fuels still provided around 87%. This is not a global energy transition. It is a costly experiment played by a handful of Western economies.

LIAR. Bowen is lying to the Australian public. Again. To claim that "the most unreliable part our energy system is coal" is just an unmitigated lie. Coal is backbone of our electricity grid, and it has to flex up and down because of the total unreliability of wind and solar. Australia deserves better than a dishonest liar as Energy Minister.

Solar and wind are sold as cheaper than coal, gas or nuclear using a number called LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy). But LCOE is a junk metric. It pretends that one-megawatt-hour of intermittent power is the same as one-megawatt-hour of reliable power. It isn't. When the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow, you still need electricity. So backup plants (coal, gas or nuclear) must run in the background, ready to fire instantly. LCOE fails to count that cost. It also ignores the miles of transmission lines for remote wind farms, the giant storage systems to cover lulls, the stabilizers to keep frequency steady, and the massive overbuild needed just to survive bad weather weeks.These hidden costs explode as wind and solar take over more of the grid. On paper, LCOE makes these renewables look cheap. In reality, they drive up costs system-wide. That's why nations with the most wind and solar have the highest electricity prices. LCOE isn't just misleading, it's a lie.

Wind turbines deliver 25-35% of their rated capacity across a year. Solar has a ceiling too. Standard silicon panels top out near 33% theoretical efficiency. Then comes the bigger problem. Wind and solar do not run on demand. They need backup, storage, transmission and overbuild. That is the hidden system cost, all left out of official reports. The hardware also wears out. Many assets last 15 years, then the replacement treadmill begins. After decades of subsidies, fossil fuels still supply about 86% of global primary energy. Wind and solar are minor additions, not replacements. There is no energy transition underway.

Worlds largest battery - beatiful pumped storage. Last week I visited Anji in central China. Its home to Changlongshan pumped storage plant. Deep inside the mountains water is pumped 400 meters by solar and wind power from a lower to an upper reservoir. When the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing or there is peak energy demand, energy from the hydro turbines is released into the grid. The plant is huge, but fit well into the terrain showing we can build big and respect nature all the same. It creates a seemless system of solar, wind and hydro 24 hours a day. This is the future of green energy!

The Dutch government is running TV ads asking citizens to limit their electricity usage between 4pm and 9pm because the grid might collapse. This is what happens when ideology replaces engineering. The Netherlands tore down its stable, gas-based system and replaced it with intermittent wind and solar that surge and fade with the weather. They provide no inertia, no stored energy and no steady baseline. And modern grids can't cope. Lines are overloaded. Companies can't connect. Homes and EV charges are being turned away. And operators are even shutting down wind farms to avoid surging blackouts. The cost to the Dutch economy is estimated to be 35 billion euros a year. And growing. The promise was clean, abundant power. The reality? One of Europe's richest nations is now effectively rationing electricity.

In 2016, South Australia learned what happens when a grid leans too hard on the wind. The Aussie state led the world in renewable dependence, with about 40% of its electricity coming from wind. Then a strong storm hit, and no less than nine wind farms cut their output, removing more than 450 megawatts in a matter of seconds. That cumulative loss tripped the Heywood interconnector, and the entire state went dark - about 1.7 million people without power. An official AEMO report found the sudden reduction in wind output was the key driver of the system collapse. South Australia had to restart the grid using diesel black-start generators and gas power plants. A weather-dependent grid died in seconds, and only fossil fuels brought it back.

Britain's grid engineers are sounding the alarm. NESO insiders, the people responsible for keeping the lights on, say operators have "lost control of the system" and that a major blackout is now an "engineering certainty." One whistleblower said, "We're flying blind with the plane on fire." Engineers claim repeated safety breaches have been concealed and that NESO is rerunning its models to declare the incident secure after the fact. The problem is structural. Britain has replaced large controllable power stations with thousands of weather-dependent wind, solar and battery installations, many of which the control room cannot properly see or control. Engineers must now balance the grid in real time using incomplete information. They say they have been asking Ofgem to intervene for two years, but nothing happened... "So we have told the world," say the whistleblowers. Quote: "We don't have control of the system. We have tried our best. It's now over to the public and the regulator. Please help."

TESLA FLIPS THE SWITCH ON A MEGAPACK GIANT IN CALIFORNIA Tesla has brought a serious heavyweight online in Kern County, California: a Megapack battery system paired with 500 megawatts of solar generation. That combination puts the project among the largest solar plus storage sites in the United States, and it is now fully operational. At full output, the site can supply enough electricity to cover the annual needs of roughly 467,000 homes. More importantly, it does so when the grid actually needs it most. Power generated during sunny daytime hours is stored and then released in the evening, when demand spikes and solar production drops. That shift alone helps prevent outages and reduces reliance on gas peaker plants. The emissions impact is just as significant. The project is expected to cut more than one million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year, while adding real stability to a grid that has struggled during heat waves and peak demand events. California has quietly become the proving ground for large-scale battery storage, and this site shows why. Energy storage is no longer theoretical or niche. It is operational, reliable, and scalable. Tesla’s Megapack footprint keeps expanding worldwide, and projects like this make the case clearly. Clean energy is not just about generation anymore. It is about control, timing, and resilience.

Germany spent years forcing its economy through a subsidized green transition. Now Berlin needs the money back. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government plans to cut more than €30 billion from Germany's 'Climate and Transformation Fund.' Heat pump support will be restricted while electric vehicle funding will be slashed. The fund was supposed to finance Germany's transformation away from reliable, conventional energy. Instead, it will now subsidize electricity prices for households and energy-intensive industries struggling with the cost of that transformation. Germany closed its nuclear plants, expanded intermittent wind and solar, and drove up the cost of dependable power. Now, the country's climate fund is being raided to soften the economic damage.
