Wind Power Chaos: South Australia Bound to Suffer Summertime Blackouts & Victoria’s ALP Government Determined to Follow Suit

Queensland Labor Lunacy: Premier Vows to Follow South Australia Back to the Dark Ages

Wind Power Becomes Political ‘Poison’ in Australia
Not so long ago - was it only a fortnight? - the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers strode the political stage like well-preened peacocks - arrogant, aloof and seemingly unflappable.

Feeding a constant barrage … Continue reading Wind Power Becomes Political ‘Poison’ in Australia
Dogged Wind Power Push: SA’s Premier Plays ‘Dumb’ to Victorian Premier’s ‘Dumber’
*** Terry McCrann needs no introduction to STT followers.
