Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are central to Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity. But, as the adage has it, out of every crisis comes an opportunity. And for uranium rich Australia that opportunity is nuclear power. Whacked with a legislative ban over 20 years ago, nuclear power has been … Continue reading Atomic RE-Action: Wind & Solar’s Proven Unreliability Makes Nuclear Obvious Choice For Clean Energy Future

Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
Renewable energy rent-seekers have been furiously peddling the myth that mega-batteries were a free and easy solution to the hopeless intermittency of weather-dependent wind and solar. The line goes that giant banks of lithium ion cells can store ‘free and abundant’ wind and solar power, whenever the sun is up and the wind is … Continue reading Giant Batteries Bomb: Renewable Energy Storage Systems Literally Setting The World On Fire
Scorched Earth Policy: Entire Forests Being Clear-Felled To Make Way For Mega-Wind Turbines
In one breath the wind industry and its acolytes talk about “saving the planet”, in the next they’re destroying it, wholesale. Millions of birds, bats and bugs are being wiped out with impunity. And millions of acres of forest have been treated with the same malicious contempt. In Scotland, since 2000, the wind industry has … Continue reading Scorched Earth Policy: Entire Forests Being Clear-Felled To Make Way For Mega-Wind Turbines
Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Virtue signalling with heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar power comes with a staggering cost. Ask a virtue signalling victim from Germany, Denmark or South Australia where wind and solar obsessions have left them paying world’s highest power prices. Like the aforementioned, Ontario is another place where ideologues destroyed a perfectly reliable and … Continue reading Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Bright Ideas: Hydrogen-Boron Fusion Promises Truly Green Energy – 24 x 365 x Forever
We’d have been better off if we’d spent the $trillions squandered on chaotically intermittent wind and solar on clean energy systems available 24 x 365, whatever the weather. At a minimum, nuclear power generation (a safe, affordable and reliable system that works) could have been improved with investments in R&D aimed at improving efficiency … Continue reading Bright Ideas: Hydrogen-Boron Fusion Promises Truly Green Energy – 24 x 365 x Forever
Wind & Solar Power Chaos: Australia’s Renewable Energy Capital Spending Millions to Prevent Total Grid Collapse
Like Germany, South Australia was held up as the exemplar of what a transition to wind and sun powered future would look like. Like Germany, that so-called ‘transition’ has turned into a costly debacle. Already suffering the world’s highest retail power prices (right up there with those suffered in Germany), South Australians are now paying … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power Chaos: Australia’s Renewable Energy Capital Spending Millions to Prevent Total Grid Collapse
Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Power prices have rocketed and businesses and whole industries are under threat, thanks to a political obsession with intermittent wind and solar. And their unreliable and chaotic delivery also threatens to destroy the power grid that connects Australia’s Eastern States. If Australia was looking to de-industrialise, then squandering $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to wind and … Continue reading Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Wind Farm Wars: Farmers Pursue Wind Developer for $Millions In Supreme Court Noise Nuisance Class Action
The wind industry is on the defensive as the number of nuisance cases being pursued by noise affected neighbours mounts. In Victoria, it all started at a place called Bald Hills with a lawyer named Dominica Tannock – and her firm, DST Legal: Litigation Breakout: Victorian Wind Farm Neighbours Pursuing $Millions from Wind Developers for Noise … Continue reading Wind Farm Wars: Farmers Pursue Wind Developer for $Millions In Supreme Court Noise Nuisance Class Action
Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
Whether it’s 50% or 100% as the wind and solar target, the reality strikes after sunset on a breathless evening, when neither are contributing anything at all. As NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham puts it, the concept of an inevitable transition from coal to sunshine and breezes - being peddled by Labor as rock … Continue reading Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
Scotland’s Wind Industry Clear-Fells 17,283 Acres & Wipes Out 14,000,000 Trees To ‘Save’ Planet
Wiping out entire forest habitats is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition to a wind powered future. Across Germany, millions of acres of forest have been clear-felled and great swathes cut through others, to allow some 30,000 of these things to be speared across Deutschland. The same wanton destruction has been integral to Scotland’s … Continue reading Scotland’s Wind Industry Clear-Fells 17,283 Acres & Wipes Out 14,000,000 Trees To ‘Save’ Planet
