‘Green’ Energy Suicide: Australia’s Anti-Nuclear Power Stance Beggars Belief

Australia’s politics is bereft of leadership and there’s no better example thereof than the failure to advance nuclear power in this country.

America’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Main Reason For Record Power Prices

Failure’s an orphan, success has a thousand fathers, but subsidised wind and solar are central to the energy disaster playing out in America, Europe and Australia.

Fascist Fantasies: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Provide Perfect Path to Totalitarian Tyranny

Few realise that Hitler and his gang of monstrous thugs were the first serious wind power advocates.

As Rupert Darwall put it: German obsession with renewable energy originates … Continue reading Fascist Fantasies: Net-Zero CO2 Targets Provide Perfect Path to Totalitarian Tyranny

How we landed … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: Unreliable Wind & Solar Guarantee Economic Self-Destruction
