Spearing thousands of wind turbines into rural communities and carpeting them with endless seas of solar panels is only just the beginning. To connect those hopelessly intermittent power sources to market requires thousands of (otherwise unnecessary) kilometres of additional transmission lines. All of that environmental destruction could have readily been avoided had Australia simply maintained … Continue reading Why Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Spells Inevitable Environmental Disaster

Vale Bill Quinn: Australia’s Most Fearless Anti-Wind Power Fraud Warrior
William Laurence Quinn passed on this week, leaving a legacy to all those aiming to protect their communities from the great wind power fraud. Bill left us last Tuesday, 15 August 2023. He was admitted to the Burra Hospital in the Mid-North of South Australia, where he was born on 31 May 1956 and died … Continue reading Vale Bill Quinn: Australia’s Most Fearless Anti-Wind Power Fraud Warrior
Last Chance Saloon: Nuclear Shift Offers Best Hope For Affordable & Reliable Power
Without doubt, coal-fired power remains the cheapest and most reliable form of power generation, bar none. Which is why hundreds of new plants are being built across China, India, Indonesia and elsewhere in Asia. However, in Australia, and elsewhere in the deindustrialising West, coal-fired power has been declared public enemy number one by a cult … Continue reading Last Chance Saloon: Nuclear Shift Offers Best Hope For Affordable & Reliable Power
Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
As in life, government policy is about trade-offs, which usually means plumping for the good rather than the perfect. However, in the de-industrialising West, energy policy is all about rejecting the good in favour of the unworkable. The notion that weather-dependent wind, and weather and sunshine-dependent solar (with or without pumped hydro or mythical mega-batteries) … Continue reading Delusional Groupthink Drives Obsession With Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar
Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
The wind and sun cult never admit it, but if it weren’t for coal-fired power Australia’s grid would have collapsed, long ago. Chugging away for the best part of a century, Australia’s coal-fired plants continue to provide power reliably, on demand, whatever the weather. No need for batteries, no need for back up. And, as … Continue reading Always Cheap & Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power Preventing Australian Grid Collapse
Holding Wind Power Outfits to Account Means Getting Your Own Noise Data
If you’re being driven nuts by thumping, grinding wind turbine noise don’t expect government authorities to help. Local governments, municipalities and so-called Environment Protection Authorities were co-opted by the wind industry, long ago. Although, sometimes, it’s more bungling incompetence than blatant corruption that does the damage. Everyone is entitled to sleep comfortably in their own … Continue reading Holding Wind Power Outfits to Account Means Getting Your Own Noise Data
Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Germans have worked out that relying on the weather for your power has one major problem: “The Weather”. They’ve even coined a term for gloomy, windless weather - ‘dunkelflaute’ - periods of days or weeks when their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels produce next to nothing or nothing at all. … Continue reading Coal-Fired Power Rescues Germany From Failed Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Europe’s wind and solar ‘transition’ is like watching a train wreck on constant repeat. Germany led the charge and is suffering the inevitable and entirely predictable consequences, with crushing power prices and routine power rationing. Some of Germany’s neighbours had the wit and temerity to not play follow the leader, or were in a position … Continue reading Don’t Follow the Leader: Learning From Europe’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Total Calamity: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ On Collision Course With Bitter Reality
If what has been done to energy policy was the work of outside forces, it’d be called an ‘act of war’. Sadly, it’s all from the home team and better described as ‘outright treason.’ Australia is, without doubt, the most over governed country on earth, with more mouthpieces and slackers per head of population than … Continue reading Total Calamity: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ On Collision Course With Bitter Reality
Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution
SMRs are no right-wing fantasy: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable, reliable and the perfect foil for those worried about human-generated carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating … Continue reading Energy SOS Means SMRs: Small Modular Reactors Offer Permanent Power Solution
