Australia’s energy policy is a joke, but a plan to send subsidised solar power to Singapore proves lunatics really have taken over the asylum. The Morrison Federal government has given major project status to a 10GW undersea cable to run from Darwin to Singapore over a distance of at least 3,350 km. The cost of … Continue reading Barking Mad: Australia’s Ludicrous Plan To Send Subsidised Solar Power 3,350KM From Darwin to Singapore

Burying The Truth: No Sensible Environmentalist Supports Filthy Wind & Solar
Even after 30 years and endless subsidies, no country is powering itself exclusively with the wind and solar; no country ever will. But that doesn’t stop our political betters berating us, should we ever beg the question about the purported logic of throwing endless $trillions at something that’s already proven to be an abject failure. … Continue reading Burying The Truth: No Sensible Environmentalist Supports Filthy Wind & Solar
Truly Creative Marketing: Made With 100% Renewables Claims = 100% Pure Bunkum
Any business claiming its products are made with 100% wind and/or solar power is engaged in truly ‘creative marketing’, aka old-fashioned ‘fraud’. For a start, the sun sets like clockwork and calm weather sets in, every other day. Then there’s the fact that - for every MW of wind or solar - there is a … Continue reading Truly Creative Marketing: Made With 100% Renewables Claims = 100% Pure Bunkum
No Brainer: Britain’s Government Backs Nuclear Solution for Wind & Solar Chaos
It appears the penny has finally dropped. Having worked out that wind and solar will never work, the British government is now backing the development of advanced modular nuclear reactors. The idea that a modern economy can power itself on sunshine and breezes is nonsense. Not so with ever-reliable nuclear power. There are around 450 nuclear … Continue reading No Brainer: Britain’s Government Backs Nuclear Solution for Wind & Solar Chaos
Coal Rush: China, Japan & India Back Coal-Fired Future With Hundreds of New Plants
Reports of the ‘death’ of coal have been greatly exaggerated, with the economic powerhouses of Asia - China, Japan and India - building new plants hand over fist. The pattern across Asia is unmistakable; unreliable wind and solar have been snubbed in favour of coal-fired power plants, with new nuclear plants running a close second. … Continue reading Coal Rush: China, Japan & India Back Coal-Fired Future With Hundreds of New Plants
Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. The capital cost of spearing these things offshore is multiples greater than doing so and some dimwitted farmer’s back paddock. Recouping that capital cost means that offshore wind power is 25 times more expensive than coal, gas or nuclear. … Continue reading Want The World’s Most Expensive & Unreliable Electricity? Try Offshore Wind Power
Power Brawl: Labor Backbenchers Revolt Over Ludicrous Wind & Solar Energy Targets
Having lost the un-loseable election in May last year, an angry rump of Labor backbenchers is keen to ditch the party’s suicidal renewable energy policies, with a view to recovering the ground they lost trying to win the sandalista vote in the inner city goat’s cheese circle. Australia’s economic future depends, in no small part, … Continue reading Power Brawl: Labor Backbenchers Revolt Over Ludicrous Wind & Solar Energy Targets
Helplessly Hopeless: Australia’s Wind Industry Promises Big, But Never Delivers
It takes audacity to call yourself an ‘industry’ when you can’t say when you’ll deliver your product and its only ever delivered 30% of the time, at best. But that’s the business model upon which our wonderful wind powered future is predicated. Australia’s wind ‘industry’ is literally suffering a case of the doldrums, with its … Continue reading Helplessly Hopeless: Australia’s Wind Industry Promises Big, But Never Delivers
No Contest: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Can Never Match Ever-Reliable Nuclear
Wind power might be ‘free’, but try purchasing it, at any price, when the wind stops blowing; likewise with solar power when the sun drops over the horizon. Comparing weather dependent wind generation with sources available, around-the-clock, irrespective of the weather, is a game played by intellectual pygmies. There is, of course, no comparison. Good … Continue reading No Contest: Never-Reliable Wind & Solar Can Never Match Ever-Reliable Nuclear
Norway’s Reindeer Farmers Sue Swedish-German Wind Power Outfit To Save Their Herd
Rural communities are sick and tired of becoming roadkill for the wind industry, and that includes the nomadic Sami – who graze and herd reindeer across northern Europe’s frozen tundra, ranging across the north of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula. The fact that chaotically intermittent wind power can’t be delivered as and when … Continue reading Norway’s Reindeer Farmers Sue Swedish-German Wind Power Outfit To Save Their Herd
