Plug your energy hopes into the weather and expect mixed results. No country has ever powered itself using wind power; no country ever will. Australia’s attempt to do so has ended in a fiasco. The leader of the pack, South Australia - a state which set and met its very own 50% RET - suffers … Continue reading Summertime Blues: Renewable Energy Chaos Guarantees More Dark & Sweaty Nights Ahead

Blackout Bitching: Feds Blame States For Australia’s Renewables Fiasco
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. The circus started in 2001, when Liberal PM, John Howard introduced a modest Renewable Energy Target, which translated at the time to around 5% of electricity generation. Thereafter, wind power outfits, like the notorious Babcock & Brown (which went bankrupt and … Continue reading Blackout Bitching: Feds Blame States For Australia’s Renewables Fiasco
Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power
One issue that annoys RE zealots, like a burr under a frisky pony’s saddle blanket, is the wind industry’s rampant bird and bat slaughter. It’s an inconvenient truth to be sure. But, as with everything that the wind industry does, if you can’t keep a straight face while lying about it any more, then pull … Continue reading Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power
Rigged & Rotten: How Power Market Rules Were Bent to Benefit Intermittent Wind & Solar
Electricity that is not available as and when consumers need it has no natural commercial value. An ICU patient on life support isn’t interested in whether the weather is going to keep her alive. For that reason, chaotically delivered wind and solar just don’t add up. The only thing that adds up are massive (and … Continue reading Rigged & Rotten: How Power Market Rules Were Bent to Benefit Intermittent Wind & Solar
Loser Pays: Making Wind & Solar Pay the Staggering Cost of their Chaotic Intermittency
All care and no responsibility, the wind and solar ‘industries’ have been allowed to destroy the grid and the power market without consequence. At least on their part; at least for now. The retailer reliability obligation put in place by Federal Energy Minister, Angus Taylor (which was the only part of the National Energy Guarantee … Continue reading Loser Pays: Making Wind & Solar Pay the Staggering Cost of their Chaotic Intermittency
Collision Course: Offshore Wind Turbines Present New (Unnecessary) Mortal Danger for Trawlermen
The fishermen who work off America’s Atlantic coast, are furious over plans to spear thousands of industrial wind turbines into their fishing grounds, destroying not only the seabed (the source of their income and prosperity), but wrecking their fishing grounds, forever. Trawlermen off the New Jersey coast have already told developers what they can do … Continue reading Collision Course: Offshore Wind Turbines Present New (Unnecessary) Mortal Danger for Trawlermen
Poverty Eradication Program: India Dials Up Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
It never takes them long to work out that wind power is the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time. Eco-zealots have attempted to ram wind and solar power down the throats of Third World governments under the auspices of saving the planet and with the purported purpose of dragging millions out of poverty. … Continue reading Poverty Eradication Program: India Dials Up Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
Code Black: Wind & Solar Chaos Guarantee Mass Summer Blackouts (Again)
As Summer approaches, Australia's wind and solar obsession means more mass blackouts are guaranteed. During January 2018, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced to power down during a run of scorching days and nights, when temperatures … Continue reading Code Black: Wind & Solar Chaos Guarantee Mass Summer Blackouts (Again)
‘Green’ Hypocrites Want Industrial Wind Turbines in YOUR Backyard, But Never in Theirs
The green is always ready to spear hundreds of giant 240m (787ft) industrial wind turbines - into your backyard, but goes nuts if the ‘favour’ might be returned. Destroying your patch of paradise is a sacrifice that he is always willing to make. When former Greens leader, Dr Bob Brown started railing about the prospect … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hypocrites Want Industrial Wind Turbines in YOUR Backyard, But Never in Theirs
‘Green’ Magic: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ The Greatest Con Job in History
Sunset and calm weather mean that wind and solar will never be meaningful power sources. Talk about ‘storage’ overcoming their chaotic intermittency, is just that: talk. The sum total of the world’s grid scale storage capacity for electricity is risible. The biggest single battery in the world, sits in a sheep paddock in South Australia’s … Continue reading ‘Green’ Magic: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ The Greatest Con Job in History
