An obsession with intermittent wind and solar is the prime cause of Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity. A ludicrous Federal Renewable Energy Target laid the foundation; Green/left Labor State Governments in South Australia and Victoria doubled down, and did the rest. Wind and solar obsessed South Australians suffer the world’s highest power prices and … Continue reading Daily Debacle: Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantee More Summertime Blackouts

Worse Than Useless: Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power Never There When It’s Needed Most
Subsidies aside, wind power has no natural commercial value simply because it cannot be delivered as and when power consumers need it. And the mythical notion of storing electricity at grid-scale doesn’t alter that equation, it simply makes wind power even more ridiculously expensive, than it already is. With wind and solar obsessed South Australia … Continue reading Worse Than Useless: Chaotically Intermittent Wind Power Never There When It’s Needed Most
Overloaded: Australia’s Eastern Grid Threatened by Proposal for Monster Tasmanian Wind Farm
Electricity grids are finely balanced systems, which depend upon order and are wrecked by chaos; chaos of the kind these things deliver on a daily basis across Australia’s Eastern Grid. Pictured above - courtesy of Aneroid Energy - is the output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid, situated from Far North Queensland, … Continue reading Overloaded: Australia’s Eastern Grid Threatened by Proposal for Monster Tasmanian Wind Farm
Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Subsidised into existence, intermittent wind and solar now pose existential threats to Australia’s once reliable power supply, this summer and beyond. No industrialised country has ever run itself on sunshine and breezes; no country serious about maintaining first world living standards, ever will. So just how Australia’s energy boffins still cling to the notion … Continue reading Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
Like night follows day, adding chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid sends power prices into orbit. South Australians know it: they suffer the world’s highest power prices as a result of their 50% RET. Other Australian states are heading in the same direction. Victoria’s great wind rush has already sent prices rocketing: wholesale … Continue reading Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
Medical Malpractice: Unmasking Doctors Who Hate Wind Industry Noise Victims
It’s no mystery to those forced to live next to wind turbines that the incessant low-frequency noise they generate is seriously harmful to health. When humans set out to torture each other, sleep deprivation is usually top of the list. The wind industry has been doing just that, with impunity, for the best part of … Continue reading Medical Malpractice: Unmasking Doctors Who Hate Wind Industry Noise Victims
New Inquisition: Renewable Energy Zealots Can’t Face Facts Like Sunset & Calm Weather
The Spanish Inquisition literally roasted heretics alive, these days it’s anyone who dares question the mantra that wind and solar power are our only salvation from imminent climate doom. No country has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes; no country ever will. The simple daily occurrence of sunset and calm weather provides the … Continue reading New Inquisition: Renewable Energy Zealots Can’t Face Facts Like Sunset & Calm Weather
Industrial Revolution: Union Chief Demands Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power to Save Industries & Members’ Jobs
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. … Continue reading Industrial Revolution: Union Chief Demands Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power to Save Industries & Members’ Jobs
Building Baseload: Keeping Australia’s Lights On Means More Coal-Fired Power – Now!
Preventing power price hikes and keeping the lights on by adding more intermittent wind and solar is like putting out fire with gasoline. These days, only the most delusional RE zealot still claims that spiralling power prices aren’t caused by chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar. The mantra has shifted to one which … Continue reading Building Baseload: Keeping Australia’s Lights On Means More Coal-Fired Power – Now!
Victorian Vortex: Wind & Solar Obsession Guarantees Mass Summer Blackouts & Power Prices Soar (Again)
Following South Australia’s lead on wind and solar was never going to end well. The State that set and met its very own 50% RET is renowned for mass load shedding and Australia’s only statewide blackout. SA also suffers the world’s highest power prices. So, it should come as no surprise to Victorians that … Continue reading Victorian Vortex: Wind & Solar Obsession Guarantees Mass Summer Blackouts & Power Prices Soar (Again)
