Climate change is real, but it is an unfortunate fact that renewables are useless
July 29, 2026
By Paul Homewood
 
A welcome antidote to the alarmist nonsense from AEP and Tim Stanley:

 

From the Telegraph:
 

Panic, always a mistake, is most dangerous when the problem is real. And the ill-informed panic of the educated is worst of all, since it guarantees the selection of specious and even counterproductive remedies.

The last 25 years of British energy policy is an extended demonstration of that principle, and it finds its latest echo in Tim Stanley’s recent Telegraph piece on the French fires.

There is no question that the situation in France is grave, but one televised summer is not a firm foundation for energy policy stretching many decades into the future. However, let us concede the alarming premise, and move to the question that actually matters. If we must act, will the action proposed, renewable energy, really work?


If you haven’t read Tim’s piece yet…

Here the scepticism of the Right, however crudely expressed online, is founded on something more than prejudice, firstly on physics, and also on decades of unusually well-documented failure.

The way be deploy renewables causes inflation.

At least in Mass, we use renewables to replace nuclear, coal, and LNG power generation stations.  The cost of the electricity from the renewables is higher than than the cost of electrcity from the legacy power generation stations that they are replacing.

Renewables provide more value in isolated areas and as a supplement to a more modern, intelligent all-of-the-above on-demand electric grids that use renewables and aeroderivative gas turbines for swing capacity.

I think the only real value of renewables is political horsesh*t for democrats.

If they were competitive of course ever single country and state would already be overwhelmingly using renewables!
