Wind ‘powered’ South Australia is the place where the laws of nature, physics, engineering and economics get turned inside out. Run by a former worker’s injury compensation lawyer, and a band of equally deluded acolytes, South Australia has become the butt of international jokes, thanks to an obsession with nature’s wonder fuels, sunshine and … Continue reading Pipe Dreaming: SA Premier’s Pumped Hydro Scheme an Engineering and Economic Nonsense

Wind Industry Claims that ‘Coal is Dead’- Nothing But Lies, Myth & Propaganda
The wind industry was founded on myth, is built on lies and runs on a mix of subsidies and propaganda. And, it should never be forgotten that, the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, was only made possible by our political betters. Armed with the belief (not unjustified) that you can fool most … Continue reading Wind Industry Claims that ‘Coal is Dead’- Nothing But Lies, Myth & Propaganda
Cuomo’s Curse: Wind Power Obsession Leaves New Yorkers with Rocketing Power Bills
If wind power really is cheap and getting cheaper all the time, why is it that every State or Nation ‘powered’ by the weather is suffering power prices magnitudes higher than those that continue merrily chugging away on coal, gas or nuclear power? South Australia, Denmark and Germany suffer the highest power prices in the … Continue reading Cuomo’s Curse: Wind Power Obsession Leaves New Yorkers with Rocketing Power Bills
Reaping the Whirlwind: Insane Cost of Renewables Destroying Jobs & Australia’s Economic Prosperity
Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity has a single, proximate cause: massively subsidised, intermittent, unreliable wind and solar power. The relationship is obvious to all but the deliberately obtuse and the rent-seekers that profit from it. Another obvious relationship is how Australia’s enviable wealth and economic prosperity depended upon reliable and affordable power supplies. Now … Continue reading Reaping the Whirlwind: Insane Cost of Renewables Destroying Jobs & Australia’s Economic Prosperity
Why Pulsing Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise is so Annoying to Neighbours
Trying to explain the pulsing, rhythmic low-frequency noise generated by wind turbines to someone who hasn’t had to live with it, is like trying to explain a migraine to someone that’s never had a headache. One man who has done more than anybody in Australia to provide an objective explanation as to just why … Continue reading Why Pulsing Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise is so Annoying to Neighbours
Even Mother Nature Hates Wind Power: Lightning Strike Destroys Turbine in Ireland
For a machine that’s said to lovingly harvest free-as-a-bird wind energy, the industrial wind turbine sure takes a beating from the weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico last year, she managed to splatter wind turbine blades all over the island, leaving residents completely powerless: Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless A typhoon … Continue reading Even Mother Nature Hates Wind Power: Lightning Strike Destroys Turbine in Ireland
‘Green’ Energy Still an Expensive Joke: Fossil Fuel’s Contribution to World Energy Demand Continues to Rise
Among their deluded repertoire of mantras, wind and sun worshippers cite the ‘death of coal’ (and all fossil fuels) as an article of faith. We’re repeatedly bombarded in the mainstream press about how sunshine and breezes (nature’s wonder fuels) will soon replace conventional fossil-fuelled electricity generators, altogether. Indeed, were also told that this so-called … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Still an Expensive Joke: Fossil Fuel’s Contribution to World Energy Demand Continues to Rise
South Australian Wind Turbine Noise Study Targets Neurological Effects on Sleep
Government noise regulators have spent 30 years covering up the effects of wind turbine noise on neighbours, and have done so with the help of the wind industry’s pet acoustic consultants: Three Decades of Wind Industry Deception: A Chronology of a Global Conspiracy of Silence and Subterfuge Australia can count its ethical acoustic engineers on one hand. … Continue reading South Australian Wind Turbine Noise Study Targets Neurological Effects on Sleep
Desperate & Deluded: SA’s ‘Virtual’ Power Station Premier’s $Billion Brain Fart
When wind ‘powered’ South Australia, the most pathetic economic performer in the Country, was plunged into total, Stone Age darkness on 28 September 2016, it made headlines around the world. Gale force winds associated with a typical Spring storm front caused the automatic shutdown of SA’s fleet of whirling wonders, resulting in SA’s first … Continue reading Desperate & Deluded: SA’s ‘Virtual’ Power Station Premier’s $Billion Brain Fart
Blackout Nation: Insane ‘Reliance’ on Wind Power Delivers Pure Power Chaos
Alcoholics call it a ‘moment of clarity’. In wind powered South Australia and Victoria, hitherto fans of renewables call it a ‘mass blackout’. In 1919, after Engineer/Soldier, Sir John Monash returned to his home town of Melbourne from the Western Front, to a hero’s welcome, he set about establishing an electricity grid that would serve … Continue reading Blackout Nation: Insane ‘Reliance’ on Wind Power Delivers Pure Power Chaos
