Greens Senator Richard “Die Nasty” cops it from Hamish Cumming
**** It’s official: the Australian Greens are fully paid-up advocates for the wind industry. Back before the Federal election we reported on how Vestas & Co had poured something like $1 million into the Greens’ advertising war chest in a futile effort to knock off STT champion, Independent Senator, Nick Xenophon. The Greens became a … Continue reading Greens Senator Richard “Die Nasty” cops it from Hamish Cumming
Ron “The Boss” Boswell spells out death for the RET
STT champion, Ron “The Boss” Boswell may be on the way to retiring from the Big House on the Hill in Canberra come next July, but he certainly isn’t shy or retiring in his efforts to save Australian industry from our ridiculous renewable energy policy.

Alan Moran aka “The Terminator”
Alan Moran has just taken on the role of RET "Terminator". For Alan the driving question is not: “are you John Connor?” - it’s more like “are you Jonathan Upson?” - or any other wind weasel stealing from Australian power punters, for that matter. But this Terminator hasn't been sent to protect wind weasels or … Continue reading Alan Moran aka “The Terminator”

Miners dig in to help scrap the RET
In 1964, a nit-picking academic called Donald Horne tagged Australia the “Lucky Country” - and he did not mean it as a compliment. Australia is lucky, but so what? It rode on the sheep’s back for more than a century as the world’s largest producer of fine apparel wool. It’s seen one or two golden … Continue reading Miners dig in to help scrap the RET

A well orchestrated effort by Queenslanders has just killed plans for fans at Dalveen, south of Warwick. Dalveen is in God’s own Country, on the western side of the Dividing Range and around 200km from the Gold Coast. Here’s the local rag’s take on another win for common sense. People power pulls pin on energy … Continue reading Queenslanders kill Dalveen Fan Plan
Will the real Frank Bestic please stand up?
In our last couple of posts, we’ve looked at the battle to save Collector from the wind turbine disaster proposed by Thai wind scammers, RATCH. RATCH’s pitch to the Planning Assessment Commission went down like the Hindenburg. No surprises there.
