Anyone still banging on about CO2 emissions in the electricity generation sector, ought to be banging on about nothing other than nuclear power. Nuclear power is the only, stand-alone generation source that can deliver reliable, affordable power without generating CO2 gas, in the process. The fact that politicians in this Country talk about anything but … Continue reading Want Reliable, Affordable CO2 Free Power? Then it’s Time to Grow Up & Go Nuclear

Powering Australia: Keeping the Lights On Means Coal-Fired Power For Generations to Come
Australia is in the process of destroying what was the world’s most reliable and affordable power supply. The destruction is all down to heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar. Meanwhile, our major Asian trading partners, China and Japan are chewing up Australian coal and uranium as fast as we can ship it - … Continue reading Powering Australia: Keeping the Lights On Means Coal-Fired Power For Generations to Come
Breakout the Candles: Chaotic Wind & Solar Mean More Mass Summertime Blackouts
The chaotic delivery of wind and solar has left Australia’s Eastern Grid on the brink of collapse. The Eastern Grid connects Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Reliable coal-fired generators have been knocked out of the game, made uneconomic thanks to renewable energy policies that direct more than $3 billion a … Continue reading Breakout the Candles: Chaotic Wind & Solar Mean More Mass Summertime Blackouts
Annual Cost of Australia’s Solar Subsidy Scam Hits $2 Billion & Sends Power Prices Into Orbit
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 $15 billion … Continue reading Annual Cost of Australia’s Solar Subsidy Scam Hits $2 Billion & Sends Power Prices Into Orbit
No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
It won’t be long before RE zealots are forced to accept defeat: wherever you look, coal, gas, hydro and nuclear keep thrashing wind and solar. Not simply because they’re cheaper, but because they work. And when we say ‘work’ STT means delivering power when and whenever consumers need it. STT doesn’t promote coal-fired power … Continue reading No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
SA Labor Government’s Wind Power Obsession Generates Crippling $815m Bill for Taxpayers
South Australians can thank their former Labor government’s obsession with wind and solar power for their status as an international joke. Paying the highest retail power prices in the world (with worse to come), routine load shedding and statewide blackouts, and a grid on the brink of collapse, is all the inevitable consequence of … Continue reading SA Labor Government’s Wind Power Obsession Generates Crippling $815m Bill for Taxpayers
Coal Wins Power Price ‘War’: Adding Storage Renders Cost of Wind & Solar Astronomical
The myth that wind and solar are meaningful power sources was busted long ago. Quite apparently incapable of operating on their own, what purports to be the future of electricity generation turns out to be a pair of complete duds. [Note to Ed: is this the part where we point out tricky facts such as … Continue reading Coal Wins Power Price ‘War’: Adding Storage Renders Cost of Wind & Solar Astronomical
Time to ‘Trump’ Paris Climate Deal: Suicidal Energy Policy Based on Hysterical IPCC Report
One of Donald Trump’s first moves as President was to cut the US loose from the suicidal Paris Climate agreement. With cheap energy and an America first approach to economic policy, the USA is attracting international investment in the same way young Royals attract paparazzi. The US economy is booming: the Australian dollar is copping … Continue reading Time to ‘Trump’ Paris Climate Deal: Suicidal Energy Policy Based on Hysterical IPCC Report
Renewables Reality Bites: Wind & Solar Power Chaos Threatens Complete Grid Collapse
The Australian summer is a few weeks away and with it comes the threat of mass blackouts, caused by the chaotic delivery of wind and solar. As temperatures soar, so does the demand for electricity, as businesses and households crank up their air conditioners to make life more tolerable indoors. When demand spikes in Australia … Continue reading Renewables Reality Bites: Wind & Solar Power Chaos Threatens Complete Grid Collapse
Game Over: Australia’s Energy Minister Slams Chaos Delivered by Subsidised Wind & Solar
The reason Australia’s renewable energy rent seekers are suicidal has a name: Angus Taylor. The Federal Energy Minister hates subsidised wind and solar with a passion. Taylor was elevated to the position in late July, and since then he’s been giving those involved in the greatest fraud of all time hell. Last week, Taylor appeared … Continue reading Game Over: Australia’s Energy Minister Slams Chaos Delivered by Subsidised Wind & Solar
