Subsidised wind and solar are the principal reason for rocketing power prices, and rocketing power prices are the principal reason for rocketing inflation. Branded as “cost of living pressures” the rapid doubling and tripling of retail power costs are always and everywhere about the market destruction caused by massive subsidies to intermittent and unreliable wind … Continue reading Truth in Numbers: Cheap ‘Renewables’ Claim Smashed by Crushing Power Bills

All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes
Solar panels deliver power for around 6 hours a day, struggle during wet/cloudy weather and a decent hailstorm or hurricane wipes them out completely. Anyone recommending solar power as a solution to our growing need for electrical energy needs their head read. Certain parts of the world suffer regular, violent hailstorms, where hailstones outsize golf … Continue reading All Hail Nuclear: Because Solar Panels Can’t Survive Hailstorms or Hurricanes
No Deal: More Panicked Farmers Join Rush to Rip-up Contracts to Host Wind Turbines
Farmers who’ve agreed to have wind turbines on their land are tearing up their contracts, and those thinking about entering such agreements are rejecting the offers made by wind power outfits, out of hand. It’s a MAJOR problem for rent-seekers and their political enablers. And their panic is palpable and hysterical, at once. In one … Continue reading No Deal: More Panicked Farmers Join Rush to Rip-up Contracts to Host Wind Turbines
Sinking Solar: Sun Sets On Great Subsidised Solar Panel Scam
A decade back, householders with solar panels were the smuggest cats around. These days, not so much. In the beginning, they crowed about the (ludicrously generous) returns from the Government underwritten Feed In Tariffs (FIT) they received for power sent back to the grid (which in many Australian states often topped $0.50 per KWh, the … Continue reading Sinking Solar: Sun Sets On Great Subsidised Solar Panel Scam
Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation
These days the dark satanic mills are scorched wind turbines with their disintegrating blades flapping aimlessly in the breeze. Industrialising the countryside, destroying productive farming communities and wrecking the natural environment is all part and parcel of the great wind and solar ‘transition’. Then there’s the fact that these things are lucky to deliver power … Continue reading Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation
Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
The massive subsidies to intermittent wind and solar were deliberately designed to wreck coal-fired power generation - the cheapest and most reliable source of all - and that objective is well advanced in Australia. With the forced exit of another coal-fired generator the effect of a calm night (when the combined output of wind and … Continue reading Totally Wrecked: Australia’s Wind & Solar Transition Delivers Astronomical Power Prices
Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
It’s a challenge to distill any sensible narrative from the grand wind and solar transition. The subtext is always and everywhere about deflecting attention from their natural incapacity to deliver power as and when it’s needed. Also known as the ‘hopeless intermittency problem’. The ‘answers’ pitched up seem only limited by the rather fertile (albeit … Continue reading Headless Chickens: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Story Flips to Totally Unhinged
Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Nuclear works: all day, every day, whatever the weather, no need for batteries and no need for back up. Whereas, wind and solar … well, you know the rest. Incapable of delivering power on demand, the only ‘benefit’ claimed by the wind and sun cult is that wind and solar power purportedly eliminate carbon dioxide … Continue reading Bleeding Obvious: New-Nuclear Offers Best Hope For Reliable & Affordable Power
Wind Turbines Either Kill Birds & Bats Outright Or Drive Them From Their Natural Habitats
Bird lovers are slowly waking up to the wind industry’s rampant habitat destruction and mass slaughter of the creatures they love so much. Wiping out pristine rainforest is met with a shrug by armchair environmentalists; and piles of rotting bird and bat carcasses barely raise an eyebrow among inner-city ‘Greens’. But those who frequent what’s … Continue reading Wind Turbines Either Kill Birds & Bats Outright Or Drive Them From Their Natural Habitats
Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
The wind and solar ‘industries’ couldn’t care less whether you have power, as long as the subsidies keep rolling in. The path to penury - aka the ‘grand renewable energy transition’ - is dimly lit and the future, darker still. But, so it is, when you pin your entire energy hopes on the wind and … Continue reading Pure Retro: Wind & Solar Transition On Track to Deliver New (Very) Dark Age
