Australia’s wind and solar capital, South Australia destroyed its last coal-fired power plant and now suffers the world’s highest power prices. Its economy is already a basket case, with much worse to come. However, RE zealots seem to treat SA in the same way that gamblers treat their losses: they never mention them, and … Continue reading Reaping the Whirlwind: Shutting Coal-Fired Power Plants Guarantees Rocketing Power Prices

Hypocrites Playground: Australian Renewable Energy Policy Driven By Virtue Signalling Halfwits
Reading this in Australia? Then you’re doing so, thanks to coal. You might be doing so thanks to nuclear power, if only the dimwits that profess to run this country hadn’t banned it. On any given day, between 70 and 80% of what flows through Australia’s Eastern Grid comes from coal-fired power plants. Of course, … Continue reading Hypocrites Playground: Australian Renewable Energy Policy Driven By Virtue Signalling Halfwits
Australia’s Giant Renewables Rip-Off: Counting The Colossal Cost of Pointless Virtue Signalling
Australia’s obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar has absolutely nothing to do with the climate. Although, you could be forgiven for thinking the $70 billion in subsidies set to be squandered on that pathetic pair must have some kind of environmental benefit. Otherwise, what’s the point? When the sun sets and/or calm weather sets … Continue reading Australia’s Giant Renewables Rip-Off: Counting The Colossal Cost of Pointless Virtue Signalling
Sanity Shutdown: Staggering Cost of Australia’s Renewable Energy Policy
The economic destruction wreaked by Australia’s obsession with intermittent wind and solar was perfectly predictable and perfectly avoidable. Power prices have rocketed out-of-control, energy hungry industries are chopped from the grid whenever sunset and/or calm weather coincides with heavy demand during very hot or very cold weather. The boffins in charge of this calamity cynically … Continue reading Sanity Shutdown: Staggering Cost of Australia’s Renewable Energy Policy
Victorians Vindicated: Bald Hills Locals Ecstatic as Council Declares Wind Farm Noise ‘Unlawful Nuisance’
A group of Victorian farmers - tormented by wind turbine noise for years - have finally been vindicated with their Council declaring it an unlawful nuisance. The community surrounding the Bald Hills wind farm, built by a Japanese developer, Mitsui and Co, have been tortured by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound since … Continue reading Victorians Vindicated: Bald Hills Locals Ecstatic as Council Declares Wind Farm Noise ‘Unlawful Nuisance’
Mission Possible: Australia’s Renewable Energy Scam Destroying Reliable & Affordable Baseload Power
Australia is in the process of destroying what was the world’s most reliable and affordable power supply. The destruction is all down to heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Meanwhile, our major Asian trading partners, China and Japan are chewing up Australian coal and uranium as fast as we can ship it – … Continue reading Mission Possible: Australia’s Renewable Energy Scam Destroying Reliable & Affordable Baseload Power
Pathetically Pointless: Massive Increase in German Wind Power Capacity Adds Nothing to Power Output
Adding wind power generating capacity is one occasion when ‘more’, truly means ‘less’. No matter how much of other people’s money gets spent spearing wind turbines all over the countryside, the result is the same: whether it’s 10,000 or 100,000 MW of available wind power capacity, when calm weather sets in, the combined output adds … Continue reading Pathetically Pointless: Massive Increase in German Wind Power Capacity Adds Nothing to Power Output
Hot Stuff: Power Prices Soar Whenever Hot Weather Combines with Wind & Solar Output Collapses
In wind and solar obsessed Australia it’s one thing to have electricity, it’s quite another to be able to pay the bill. STT helped draw attention to an event in January when 200,000 Victorian businesses and households were left sweltering during heatwave, as a collapse in wind power output led to widespread load shedding (ie controlled … Continue reading Hot Stuff: Power Prices Soar Whenever Hot Weather Combines with Wind & Solar Output Collapses
Highland Victory: Court Finds Insidious Wind Turbine Noise ‘Jet-Like’ & Orders Wind Farm Shutdown
Driving neighbours nuts with incessant wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound is what the wind industry does best. Wind power outfits literally create headaches wherever they ply their subsidy-soaked trade. But, increasingly, people and communities with the temerity to stand up for their rights are doing just that. And winning. Stuartfield couple win battle against … Continue reading Highland Victory: Court Finds Insidious Wind Turbine Noise ‘Jet-Like’ & Orders Wind Farm Shutdown
Wind Industry ‘Pay’ Cut: Whopping Transmission Losses See Remote Wind Farm Revenue Slashed
The Australian wind industry has a habit of spearing its turbines way beyond the back of beyond. Increasingly remote wind farm locations require serious upgrades to transmission infrastructure, adding hundreds of $millions to transmission costs, that would have otherwise been avoided, had Australia simply stuck with conventional generators and not squandered $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to … Continue reading Wind Industry ‘Pay’ Cut: Whopping Transmission Losses See Remote Wind Farm Revenue Slashed
