If Australia’s wind turbine fleet hadn’t cost power consumers $20 billion to build, the joke would almost be funny. Spread from Far North Queensland to the West Coast of South Australia, on the Eastern Grid, Australia’s wind farms are located in 5 States: Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, NSW and Queensland (see below). In SA they’re … Continue reading Total Joke: Australian Wind Farms Regularly Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity

Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australia’s energy system is a diabolical mess, largely thanks to the Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Target. But the Feds can’t take all the blame, in all instances. A number of States - usually headed by Trotskyites, like Chairman Dan Andrews - are determined to destroy the last vestiges of their economies. What the Fed’s … Continue reading Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Having gouged $billions from power consumers and taxpayers to subsidise hopelessly unreliable wind and solar, the Federal government wants us to pay $millions more to undo the damage done to our once reliable power supply by its Renewable Energy Target. The point and purpose of subsidies and mandated targets favouring wind and solar was … Continue reading Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Punishing Price of ‘Virtue’ Signalling: Canberra Power Price Surge Follows 100% RE Push
When George Orwell described ‘doublethink’ and ‘doublespeak’ he surely had the renewable energy zealot in mind. In the Nation’s capital, Canberra the swamp is lined with renewable energy rent seekers - always on the prowl for more and more extensive subsidies, soft loans and favourable treatment from the Federal government - and populated by … Continue reading Punishing Price of ‘Virtue’ Signalling: Canberra Power Price Surge Follows 100% RE Push
Solar Slaves: China Dominates Market For Solar Panels Using Forced Uighur Labour
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
