Want to know what a 50% RET does to grid stability and power prices, then look no further than South Australia. Despite some desperate wind industry propaganda efforts suggesting that South Australians are currently enjoying 1970s power prices, Australia’s renewable energy capital still pays the world’s highest power prices – thanks to its ludicrous 50% Renewable Energy … Continue reading Victoria’s Suicidal 50% Renewable Energy Target Set to Wreck Grid & Drive Power Prices Into Orbit

Fake Environmentalists: Love Industrial Wind Turbines – Hate Humans & Nature
The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: he loves industrial wind power and couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction it causes. Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by cats, cars and skyscrapers. … Continue reading Fake Environmentalists: Love Industrial Wind Turbines – Hate Humans & Nature
Wicked Waste: What the $Trillions Squandered on Wind & Solar Could Have Done for the Planet
Economics is all about the cost of opportunity; eg squander $trillions on wind and solar and you lose the chance of really saving the planet. It’s a point picked up by Bjorn Lomborg in this essay published by The Australian. Climate trillions frittered in the wind The Australian Bjorn Lomborg 20 July 2019 This year, … Continue reading Wicked Waste: What the $Trillions Squandered on Wind & Solar Could Have Done for the Planet
Self-Censored: Love Media Refuse to Cover Green Leader’s Backflip on Wind Power
Inconvenient facts like the wind industry’s rampant Eagle slaughter troubles the narrative and requires the mainstream press to do backflips to maintain a positive spin. Remember, this is an ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun powered future. So, the slicing and dicing of millions of birds and bats, the destruction of pristine wilderness … Continue reading Self-Censored: Love Media Refuse to Cover Green Leader’s Backflip on Wind Power
Double Standards: Greens Run Silent on Wind Turbine Bird & Bat & Bug Slaughter
The media went nuts when former Greens leader, Bob Brown turned on a wind farm in his backyard. Rampant hypocrisy, was just the first of the charges levelled at a man renowned for his hatred of reliable and affordable electricity. In the result, the Liberal/National Coalition were very grateful that Dr Bob’s hatred of coal … Continue reading Double Standards: Greens Run Silent on Wind Turbine Bird & Bat & Bug Slaughter
‘Green’ Turns Brown: Australia’s Head Climate Warrior Slams Wind Turbine Eagle Slaughter
Why only yesterday, Bob Brown was railing against coal, now he’s got it in for the wind, too. Well, at least when it comes to wind turbines slicing and dicing Eagles in his patch of paradise, Tasmania. Dr Bob’s recent epiphany concerning the ability of 60 m blades with their tips travelling at over 350 … Continue reading ‘Green’ Turns Brown: Australia’s Head Climate Warrior Slams Wind Turbine Eagle Slaughter
End Game: Subsidy Wind Down Heralds Collapse in Wind & Solar Investment
Wind and solar power are always and everywhere the product of massive (and seemingly) endless subsidies. Except, there is an end. There always is. Australia’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target expires in December 2030. The 33,000 GWh annual target was meant to be reached with a surge in wind and large-scale solar capacity by 2020, but … Continue reading End Game: Subsidy Wind Down Heralds Collapse in Wind & Solar Investment
Hyper-Hypocrites: Greens Love Wind Power – In Your Backyard – But Never In Theirs
Fascism comes in all shades, including ‘green’. Marching around and telling other people what to do, makes the green fascist no different than the jackbooted kind, of old. Where the green fascist differs, is in his ability to pontificate from the high moral ground, while engaging in every act he so vocally despises. Which brings … Continue reading Hyper-Hypocrites: Greens Love Wind Power – In Your Backyard – But Never In Theirs
Total Flop: 20 years & $60 Billion in Subsidies, Wind & Solar ‘Deliver’ Risible 7% of Australia’s Power Demand
The line that Australia’s rocketing power prices will soon plummet is just a cruel hoax. The subsidies for large-scale wind and solar under the Federal government’s Large-Scale RET will total more than $60 billion over the life of that scheme: the Renewable Energy Certificates issued under the LRET have already added more than $18 billion … Continue reading Total Flop: 20 years & $60 Billion in Subsidies, Wind & Solar ‘Deliver’ Risible 7% of Australia’s Power Demand
Atomic Reaction: Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Debacle Means Australia Needs Nuclear Now
Sensible Australians know chaotically intermittent wind and solar can never work, forcing MPs to demand ever-reliable nuclear power, instead. True it is that coal-fired power provides around 80% of the electricity consumed among those states connected to the Eastern Grid (Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia). But, as a result of the obscene subsidies … Continue reading Atomic Reaction: Self-Inflicted Wind & Solar Debacle Means Australia Needs Nuclear Now
