The one, nay the only, ‘justification’ for the $billions squandered on subsidised wind and solar power is ‘saving’ the planet from CO2 gas. Except, that the wind and solar industries have never produced a shred of credible evidence that chaotic and intermittent wind & solar power have actually reduced CO2 gas emissions, anywhere on that … Continue reading $Billions Wasted: Australia’s Massive Wind & Solar Surge Fails to Cut CO2 Emissions

Atomic RE-Action: Wind & Solar’s Proven Unreliability Makes Nuclear Obvious Choice For Clean Energy Future
Chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar are central to Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity. But, as the adage has it, out of every crisis comes an opportunity. And for uranium rich Australia that opportunity is nuclear power. Whacked with a legislative ban over 20 years ago, nuclear power has been … Continue reading Atomic RE-Action: Wind & Solar’s Proven Unreliability Makes Nuclear Obvious Choice For Clean Energy Future
Bright Ideas: Hydrogen-Boron Fusion Promises Truly Green Energy – 24 x 365 x Forever
We’d have been better off if we’d spent the $trillions squandered on chaotically intermittent wind and solar on clean energy systems available 24 x 365, whatever the weather. At a minimum, nuclear power generation (a safe, affordable and reliable system that works) could have been improved with investments in R&D aimed at improving efficiency … Continue reading Bright Ideas: Hydrogen-Boron Fusion Promises Truly Green Energy – 24 x 365 x Forever
Wind & Solar Power Chaos: Australia’s Renewable Energy Capital Spending Millions to Prevent Total Grid Collapse
Like Germany, South Australia was held up as the exemplar of what a transition to wind and sun powered future would look like. Like Germany, that so-called ‘transition’ has turned into a costly debacle. Already suffering the world’s highest retail power prices (right up there with those suffered in Germany), South Australians are now paying … Continue reading Wind & Solar Power Chaos: Australia’s Renewable Energy Capital Spending Millions to Prevent Total Grid Collapse
Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Power prices have rocketed and businesses and whole industries are under threat, thanks to a political obsession with intermittent wind and solar. And their unreliable and chaotic delivery also threatens to destroy the power grid that connects Australia’s Eastern States. If Australia was looking to de-industrialise, then squandering $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to wind and … Continue reading Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Wind Farm Wars: Farmers Pursue Wind Developer for $Millions In Supreme Court Noise Nuisance Class Action
The wind industry is on the defensive as the number of nuisance cases being pursued by noise affected neighbours mounts. In Victoria, it all started at a place called Bald Hills with a lawyer named Dominica Tannock – and her firm, DST Legal: Litigation Breakout: Victorian Wind Farm Neighbours Pursuing $Millions from Wind Developers for Noise … Continue reading Wind Farm Wars: Farmers Pursue Wind Developer for $Millions In Supreme Court Noise Nuisance Class Action
Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
Whether it’s 50% or 100% as the wind and solar target, the reality strikes after sunset on a breathless evening, when neither are contributing anything at all. As NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham puts it, the concept of an inevitable transition from coal to sunshine and breezes - being peddled by Labor as rock … Continue reading Lost In Space: ‘Transition’ To Wind & Solar Powered Future Is Pure Science Fiction
Renewable Energy Fail: Australia Needs to Get Serious About Serious Power Generation – Right Now!
Intermittent wind and solar threatens to destroy the power grid that connects Australia’s Eastern States. Massive subsidies to wind and solar under the Federal government’s Large-Scale RET mean that conventional generators struggle to compete when the wind is blowing and the sun’s shining. And grid managers are struggling to manage the erratic delivery of … Continue reading Renewable Energy Fail: Australia Needs to Get Serious About Serious Power Generation – Right Now!
Down Tools: Australia’s Most Powerful Workers Union Rejects Unreliable Wind & Solar
Labor – aka the ‘Workers Party’ – remains determined to destroy whole industries and thousands of jobs with a 50% RET and a giant ‘carbon’ tax. Business and job destroying policies that helped it comfortably lose the ‘unloseable’ Federal election in May, and which its deluded front bench simply can’t bear to let go. Australian … Continue reading Down Tools: Australia’s Most Powerful Workers Union Rejects Unreliable Wind & Solar
Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
Australia’s self-inflicted wind and solar calamity has just got serious; very serious. Managing electricity grids is a finely balanced affair, requiring the ability to control what goes in and what goes out on a second-by-second basis. The generation and distribution of electricity was relatively simple when synchronous, dispatchable conventional generation sources (in Australia, coal, gas … Continue reading Terminal Diagnosis: Wind & Solar Chaos Places Australia’s Power Grid On Life Support
