The smugness exhibited by the owners of solar panels is in its own special class. Pious and self-righteous, these characters are quick to pontificate about their holier than thou credentials. Of course, plastering one’s roof with solar panels is all about saving the planet; and has nothing to do with bleeding their neighbours dry - … Continue reading Solar Slaves: China Dominates Market For Solar Panels Using Forced Uighur Labour

It’s Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power That’s Powering Australia & Will Be For Years to Come
Another burst of calm weather has proved the point: anyone who believes wind power is a meaningful power source, is delusional. The wind and solar cult keep telling us that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. The same crowd also claims that coal-fired power is dead as the dodo. … Continue reading It’s Ever-Reliable Coal-Fired Power That’s Powering Australia & Will Be For Years to Come
Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
The apparent object of renewable energy targets is to make power so expensive and unreliable that eventually no one will bother to use it. At least that’s what occurred in Australia, thanks to its Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, which will redirect more than $60 billion to chaotically intermittent wind and solar over the life … Continue reading Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
Climate Warriors Furious Over India & China’s Insatiable Thirst for Coal-Fired Power
For years now, we’ve been told that “coal is dead” and that India and China will plump for wind and solar, instead of coal-fired power. Well, that’s the line being run by renewable energy rent seekers and wind and solar zealots around the globe. It is, of course, complete bunkum. With hundreds of millions still … Continue reading Climate Warriors Furious Over India & China’s Insatiable Thirst for Coal-Fired Power
Vale: Dick Paltridge – South Australia’s Champion Wind Farm Warrior
Richard ‘Dick’ Paltridge was a giant of a man; physically imposing, stoic and taciturn, his dogged pursuit of what was right places him in the STT Hall of Fame. Dick shuffled off this mortal coil on 23 March this year, leaving a legacy of peace and tranquillity in his patch of paradise, Allendale situated in … Continue reading Vale: Dick Paltridge – South Australia’s Champion Wind Farm Warrior
Great Socialist Reset: ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means No Future for YOU
Wind and solar isn’t about providing power to the people, it’s about depriving people of reliable and affordable power, and lining the pockets of crony capitalists with massive and endless subsidies. Australia is no exception. The subsidies to wind and solar here will top $60 billion by the end of this decade. And, if rent … Continue reading Great Socialist Reset: ‘Inevitable’ Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Means No Future for YOU
Wind Power Fail: Britain’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Keep The Lights On During ‘Big Calm’
If having no power at all was the object of our ‘inevitable transition’ to an all wind and solar ‘powered’ future, then we’re well on our way. The bitter northern hemisphere winter just gone, has shown wind and solar for what they are: pointless and expensive vanity projects, that only a lunatic would promote and … Continue reading Wind Power Fail: Britain’s Coal-Fired Power Plants Keep The Lights On During ‘Big Calm’
Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
Nothing invokes rage and fury in rural communities like a wind farm comprising dozens and sometimes hundreds of 300 tonne, 200-270m high industrial monstrosities. Western Victoria has been overrun with these things; once peaceful pastoral properties are encircled by them, and drowned in a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency turbine noise. The wind industry and … Continue reading Mortal Combat: Rural Communities Rally to Defeat Wind Industry’s Steamroller Strategy
Full-Steam Ahead: No End to China’s Insatiable Appetite For Coal-Fired Power
China isn’t even vaguely interested in intermittent wind and solar; it’s insatiable demand for coal to fuel coal-fired power plants tells the story, as does the fact that it continues to build new coal-fired plants, hand over fist. All despite claims by wind and solar cult that China will soon turn its nose up at … Continue reading Full-Steam Ahead: No End to China’s Insatiable Appetite For Coal-Fired Power
Nuclear Nudge: Everyone Talking About Nuclear Power After America’s Deadly Big Freeze
Shattered dreams, dashed hopes and heavy hearts are the order of the day amongst wind and solar acolytes - thanks to the avoidable energy disasters playing out in America and Germany, during a bitter northern hemisphere winter. Sure, there are a desperate few still hanging on to the hope that it will all blow over, … Continue reading Nuclear Nudge: Everyone Talking About Nuclear Power After America’s Deadly Big Freeze
