The prospect of a 100% renewable energy future is 100% pure, unadulterated myth. Placard waving teens fretting about the weather in 30 years’ time might demand it, but logic, physics, meteorology and economics will forever conspire against an all wind and sun powered future. And the idea that a transition to wind and solar is … Continue reading The Power Hunger Games: Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Can Never Power the Planet

We are a group of citizens concerned about the rapid spread of industrial wind power generation installations across Australia.
Overloaded: Australia’s Eastern Grid Threatened by Proposal for Monster Tasmanian Wind Farm
Electricity grids are finely balanced systems, which depend upon order and are wrecked by chaos; chaos of the kind these things deliver on a daily basis across Australia’s Eastern Grid. Pictured above - courtesy of Aneroid Energy - is the output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid, situated from Far North Queensland, … Continue reading Overloaded: Australia’s Eastern Grid Threatened by Proposal for Monster Tasmanian Wind Farm
Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Subsidised into existence, intermittent wind and solar now pose existential threats to Australia’s once reliable power supply, this summer and beyond. No industrialised country has ever run itself on sunshine and breezes; no country serious about maintaining first world living standards, ever will. So just how Australia’s energy boffins still cling to the notion … Continue reading Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
Like night follows day, adding chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid sends power prices into orbit. South Australians know it: they suffer the world’s highest power prices as a result of their 50% RET. Other Australian states are heading in the same direction. Victoria’s great wind rush has already sent prices rocketing: wholesale … Continue reading Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
Medical Malpractice: Unmasking Doctors Who Hate Wind Industry Noise Victims
It’s no mystery to those forced to live next to wind turbines that the incessant low-frequency noise they generate is seriously harmful to health. When humans set out to torture each other, sleep deprivation is usually top of the list. The wind industry has been doing just that, with impunity, for the best part of … Continue reading Medical Malpractice: Unmasking Doctors Who Hate Wind Industry Noise Victims
‘Green’ Energy’s Toxic Legacy: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills
Environmentalists have tumbled to the fact that wind power is anything but the ‘clean, green’ energy source its proponents claim it to be. While the wind industry works overtime to bury a range of inconvenient facts, it's actually burying millions of tons of toxic waste, among a list of other environmental sins. Wind turbines don’t … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy’s Toxic Legacy: Millions of Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills
Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’
Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear overnight. Warren Buffett put it best: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Precisely!! Wind power makes absolutely no sense at any level: environmental, social or … Continue reading Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’
New Inquisition: Renewable Energy Zealots Can’t Face Facts Like Sunset & Calm Weather
The Spanish Inquisition literally roasted heretics alive, these days it’s anyone who dares question the mantra that wind and solar power are our only salvation from imminent climate doom. No country has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes; no country ever will. The simple daily occurrence of sunset and calm weather provides the … Continue reading New Inquisition: Renewable Energy Zealots Can’t Face Facts Like Sunset & Calm Weather
Industrial Revolution: Union Chief Demands Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power to Save Industries & Members’ Jobs
Labor - aka the ‘Workers Party’ - remains determined to destroy whole industries and thousands of jobs with a 50% RET and a giant ‘carbon’ tax. Business and job destroying policies that helped it comfortably lose the 'unloseable' Federal election in May, and which its deluded front bench simply can't bear to let go. … Continue reading Industrial Revolution: Union Chief Demands Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power to Save Industries & Members’ Jobs
Building Baseload: Keeping Australia’s Lights On Means More Coal-Fired Power – Now!
Preventing power price hikes and keeping the lights on by adding more intermittent wind and solar is like putting out fire with gasoline. These days, only the most delusional RE zealot still claims that spiralling power prices aren’t caused by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar. The mantra has shifted to one which … Continue reading Building Baseload: Keeping Australia’s Lights On Means More Coal-Fired Power – Now!
