Blackout Blues Continue: Australia’s Wind Industry Loses PR War for ‘Hearts & Minds’
The proponents of a pointless power source, abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons, which exists, and only exists by reason of massive subsidies drawn from power consumers and/or taxpayers have, from the outset, engaged in a well-orchestrated PR campaign aimed at winning ‘hearts and minds’. An industry that wouldn’t survive a nanosecond without mandated … Continue reading Blackout Blues Continue: Australia’s Wind Industry Loses PR War for ‘Hearts & Minds’
South Australia’s ‘Deluded’ Wind Power Policy a ‘Red-Flag’ for Wind Cult Zealots & Politicians Alike
*** There is nothing quite like being right in a public forum: especially when your opponents run as a rabid pack of deluded zealots, occupying a netherworld - altogether free of both fact and consequence - driven by ideology; and devoid of common sense, logic or reason. During the week just gone, the latest whole … Continue reading South Australia’s ‘Deluded’ Wind Power Policy a ‘Red-Flag’ for Wind Cult Zealots & Politicians Alike
Blackout Blues: Wind Power Obsession Makes South Australia an International Joke
The most recent grid collapse in South Australia (one that was not the first and which will, by no means, be the last) has left it the butt of jokes in its neighbouring States (not attempting to run on sunshine and breezes) and around the World.

Batteries Necessary To Support Solar and Wind Power Don’t Exist
*** With the wind industry under siege around the Globe, in order to deflect attention from the unavoidable fact that wind power delivery is a matter of serendipity - rather than electrical engineering dictates (such as frequency control and grid balancing) and hoary old economic chestnuts (such as matching supply with demand) - the talk … Continue reading Batteries Necessary To Support Solar and Wind Power Don’t Exist
Another Statewide Blackout: South Australia’s Wind Power Disaster Continues
Thanks to its ludicrous attempt to run on sunshine and breezes, South Australia has just experienced yet another Statewide blackout.

‘Mongrels’: AGL Treats its Wind Farm Neighbours with Ridicule & Contempt
*** 'Wicked' and 'wanton' doesn't quite capture the manner in which wind power outfit, AGL behaves towards its victims. Spearing hundreds of these things into the heart of (once) peaceful and prosperous rural communities would be bad enough, but treating those that suffer the consequences - such as the chronic sleep deprivation caused by incessant … Continue reading ‘Mongrels’: AGL Treats its Wind Farm Neighbours with Ridicule & Contempt
