If Australia was serious about building a renewable energy future it certainly wouldn't be pouring $billions in REC Tax into the pockets of Union Superfund backed wind power outfits like Pac Hydro, or near bankrupt circuses like Infigen. If bang for renewable buck is what we're after then we ought to be pumping all of … Continue reading The Snowy Scheme: Time to Do it Again

South Australian Wind Power “FAILS”
**** South Australia is held up by the wind industry and its parasites as an Australian wind power "Supermodel" - as in this tissue of lies pitched up by Thai turbine-terrorists, RATCH: MEWF Newsletter May 2014.

Claims Wind Power now “Competitive” with Conventional Generators About to be Tested
**** In Australia and the US, the wind industry and its parasites are making wild claims about being able to deliver power at prices equal to, or less than, the cost of conventional generation sources (see our post here).

German Energy Giant E.On says: It’s Time for Wind Power to Grow Up
The wind industry is a lot like Peter Pan – the eternal child, who will fight, kick and scream to avoid the stark reality of adulthood. How often have we heard the yarn about wind power needing a fat pile of subsidies (filched from taxpayers and power consumers) for just that little bit longer to … Continue reading German Energy Giant E.On says: It’s Time for Wind Power to Grow Up
Wind Power: the Real Threat to Energy Security
**** One of the pitches being tossed up by the wind industry and its parasites at the minute is that adding wind power to the energy “mix” improves “energy security”. The yarn is spun around something like a “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” argument. Ergo, we should put all of our eggs … Continue reading Wind Power: the Real Threat to Energy Security
Wind Farms & “Community Division”: Tales from Rye Park (NSW) & Northumberland (UK)
*** Naked greed, institutional corruption and State-sanctioned corporate bullying and thuggery are part and parcel of the wind industry, wherever you go. We recount below a tale from Northumberland that could have been written anywhere that giant fans have been slung up in the world. In tales like these the phrase “community division” often appears. … Continue reading Wind Farms & “Community Division”: Tales from Rye Park (NSW) & Northumberland (UK)
Power Punters Face $billions in “Fines” as Mandatory RET Deemed “Doomed to Fail”
**** In our earlier posts (here and here) we outlined the fact that – under the mandatory Renewable Energy Target - retailers are fined $65 per MWh for every MW they fall below the mandated 41,000 GWh annual target: what’s called the “shortfall charge” - follow the links here and here. With less than 23,000 … Continue reading Power Punters Face $billions in “Fines” as Mandatory RET Deemed “Doomed to Fail”
Wind Farms: Nothing More than Power-Grid-Parasites
**** Apart from the insane cost of propping up near bankrupt wind power outfits – like Infigen – with $ billions in subsidies in the form of the REC Tax/Subsidy – the wind industry gets to “free-ride” on the Australian electricity consumer in at least 2 ways. The first is getting preferential distribution of the … Continue reading Wind Farms: Nothing More than Power-Grid-Parasites
RET Review Panel says: Now THAT’S a Submission
In the week just gone, eco-fascist blogs like yes2ruining-us and ruin-economy have crowed about their team sending 23 million submissions to the RET Review Panel (okay, so we’ve exaggerated a bit, but so did they – and you get our point). Likewise, the Twitter-sphere has seen a flurry of self-congratulatory messages from the lunatic fringe … Continue reading RET Review Panel says: Now THAT’S a Submission
