Victoria Erupts: Furious Mob Rejects Premier Dan Andrew’s Insane Wind Power Push

  Victoria’s Premier might think he’s on a winner with his gargantuan push for wind and solar in his State, but his constituents think otherwise. Last week, 500 furious Victorians gathered at Mortlake to reject another of Dan's neighbourhood nightmares. STT hears that the mood was as ugly as a paddock full of hundreds of … Continue reading Victoria Erupts: Furious Mob Rejects Premier Dan Andrew’s Insane Wind Power Push

Victoria’s Wind & Solar Vortex: Labor Determined to Repeat South Australian Debacle with Ludicrous 50% RET

  Victoria’s unhinged Premier and deluded Energy Minister are hell-bent on replicating South Australia’s wind and solar debacle and bringing it home. By definition, ‘insanity’ is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. On that score, Daniel Andrews and Lily D’Ambrosio are in a league of their own. It’s not … Continue reading Victoria’s Wind & Solar Vortex: Labor Determined to Repeat South Australian Debacle with Ludicrous 50% RET

Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!

If you’re reading this post in Australia, you’re doing so thanks to coal-fired power. Don’t like it? Then get off the internet. And, while you’re at it, turn off your lights, your air-conditioner, let your smart phone run flat and, just for laughs, start tackling busy intersections without the benefit of traffic lights. Wind ‘powered’ … Continue reading Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!

Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’

  The world was overrun by insanely costly and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, thanks to an endless stream of other people’s money. Preaching the gospel about nature’s wonder fuels, isn’t simply about moral posturing and virtue signalling. It’s also about separating taxpayers and power consumers from their hard-earned: over the life of the Federal … Continue reading Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’

Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar

  The wind and solar industries are built on lies and fuelled by subsidies. Angus Taylor is alive to the former and focused on ending the latter. Barely a month into the job, for some reason, the very mention of Angus Taylor sends renewable energy rent seekers into a state of apoplexy. One reason could … Continue reading Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar

German Animal Lovers Boycott Wind Power: Vegans Incensed by Bloody Bird & Bat Slaughter

German vegans have mounted a boycott against wind power, incensed by the pointless and bloody slaughter of millions of birds and bats. Irony comes in many sizes and shapes, but the idea of one group of moralising zealots taking on another group of moralising zealots, is simply delicious (so to speak). The concept of carnivorous … Continue reading German Animal Lovers Boycott Wind Power: Vegans Incensed by Bloody Bird & Bat Slaughter

Merkel’s Muddle: Coal Keeps Powering On as Germany’s Renewable Energy Transition Implodes

  Germany’s ‘transition’ to wind and solar is a full-scale debacle: rocketing power prices and an unstable grid, the only tangible ‘results’. Anyone still talking about an ‘inevitable transition’ to nature’s wonder fuels, only needs to be reminded about the power pricing and supply calamity that is South Australia. As another example of what follows … Continue reading Merkel’s Muddle: Coal Keeps Powering On as Germany’s Renewable Energy Transition Implodes

Time to Die: New PM Must Bury Turnbull’s $10bn Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Boondoggle

Wind and large-scale solar are doomed, but the saviour is said to be pumped hydro; paid for, of course, with other people’s money. Touted by ex-PM Malcom Turnbull and his hapless sidekick, Josh Frydenberg as the Nation’s mega-battery, the heavily-hyped Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme (shelved in the 1970s because it was uneconomic then) has … Continue reading Time to Die: New PM Must Bury Turnbull’s $10bn Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Boondoggle

Marriage Meltdown: How A Love Affair With Intermittent Wind & Solar Ended In Tears

Australia’s grab bag of renewable energy policies are like a marriage made in hell. Destroying its once reliable grid and sending power prices through the roof, Federal and State Renewable Energy Targets are designed to destroy conventional generators. And, so far, they’ve done an admirable job. Australia now faces a summer of widespread blackouts and … Continue reading Marriage Meltdown: How A Love Affair With Intermittent Wind & Solar Ended In Tears

Farmers Fightback: Investigator’s Noise Nuisance Finding Leaves Australian Wind Industry Furious

For too long the wind industry has ‘owned the game’. Thanks to a determined lawyer and her equally determined clients, they’ve just lost it. Following on from Saturday’s post - Victorian Vengeance: Neighbours Launch $Multi-Million Noise Nuisance Law Suit Against Wind Farm Operator & Local Council - STT takes another look at the case that's … Continue reading Farmers Fightback: Investigator’s Noise Nuisance Finding Leaves Australian Wind Industry Furious
