**** In one sad and sorry respect, South Australia resembles Germany: both went into wind power with a vengeance; and the householders and businesses of both are watching their economic prosperity wither under the combined effect of crippling (and escalating) power prices and increasingly unreliable power supplies: Wind Industry’s Armageddon: Wind Farm Output Collapse Leaves … Continue reading SA Wind Farms Trigger South Australian Power Crisis

Wind Industry Goons Beating Up On Women, as Furious Community Defenders Shoot Up Turbines (Again)
**** Back in October last year we covered the antics of another foreign owned wind power outfit struggling to come to grips with the fact that Australian rural communities have had – as they say – ‘a gutful’ of the wind industry’s lies, treachery and deceit. And they’ve especially had enough of the bully-boy, stand-over … Continue reading Wind Industry Goons Beating Up On Women, as Furious Community Defenders Shoot Up Turbines (Again)
Offshore Wind Power Just as Unreliable & Twice the Insane Cost of Onshore Wind Power
**** Australia's Large-Scale RET is facing inevitable doom - and with it the wind industry - due to the fact that Australia's commercial retailers decided to kill it off over 3 years ago; refusing, since then, to enter Power Purchase Agreements with wind power outfits. The result has been that commercial lenders have ceased lending … Continue reading Offshore Wind Power Just as Unreliable & Twice the Insane Cost of Onshore Wind Power
How South Australia’s Wind Farm Gamble Led to a Power Crisis
**** South Australians dwell in Australia’s economically dismal ‘wind power capital’. Their attempt to rely on these things as a ‘meaningful’ power source sees them not only paying the highest power prices in the Nation by a mile (if not the world, on a purchasing power parity basis) – but sees them glaring at each … Continue reading How South Australia’s Wind Farm Gamble Led to a Power Crisis
Scots Demand an End to Government’s ‘Un-Democratic Fixation’ with Unreliable, Insecure & Unaffordable Wind Power
**** It took a little under a decade, but the message is finally getting out: THESE THINGS DON’T WORK - on any level. There are 3 electricity essentials - that the power source and its delivery to homes and businesses be: 1) reliable; 2) secure; and 3) affordable. Try to skimp on any one or … Continue reading Scots Demand an End to Government’s ‘Un-Democratic Fixation’ with Unreliable, Insecure & Unaffordable Wind Power
Environment Minister, Greg Hunt Backs Slaughter of ‘Protected’ Eagles With Taxpayer Underwritten ‘Loans’ for Wind Farms
**** The number of Liberal (Australia’s once small-government, conservative, business and family friendly) Party MPs that hold a bizarre affection for these things can be tallied up on one hand. The Liberal’s King of the Wind Worship Cult is the hapless Environment Minister, young Gregory Hunt. Hunt’s office is headed up by wind industry plant, … Continue reading Environment Minister, Greg Hunt Backs Slaughter of ‘Protected’ Eagles With Taxpayer Underwritten ‘Loans’ for Wind Farms

Today Tonight Reports on South Australia’s Wind Power Policy Disaster
**** South Australia is where the Australian wind industry meets its 'Waterloo' - which is fitting in its way: one of SA's worst public health disasters began at Waterloo in 2010 - when 37 Vesta's V90s (3MW monsters) spun into gear. From then on, the incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound these things cast … Continue reading Today Tonight Reports on South Australia’s Wind Power Policy Disaster
The Cost of Wind Power: Killing Jobs and Crushing Families – SA’s Biggest Smelter Under Threat with 750 Jobs at Risk
**** To call what South Australia’s Labor government has ‘gifted’ their constituents an energy ‘policy’, is to flatter it as involving some kind of genuine ‘design’. It’s an economic debacle, pure and simple. The current mess started under former Premier, Mike Rann – a former spin-doctor, whose relatives lined up at the wind power subsidy … Continue reading The Cost of Wind Power: Killing Jobs and Crushing Families – SA’s Biggest Smelter Under Threat with 750 Jobs at Risk
