The belief that wind and solar will soon power us is delusional, turning those intermittent sources into hydrogen gas is positively insane, on every level. Renewable energy rent seekers have seized on the concept of producing hydrogen gas using wind and solar as a way of converting useless, unpredictable and unreliable electricity into something that … Continue reading How to Waste Mountains of Energy: Turn Wind & Solar Power Into Hydrogen Gas & Burn the Gas

Emergency Response: Wind & Solar Debacle Forces Government to Build Gas-Fired Power Plants
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. The cancer started in wind and solar obsessed South Australia; renowned for Australia’s highest retail power prices and its most unreliable power delivery. But the disease soon spread, which is not surprising given that it all started with the Federal government’s … Continue reading Emergency Response: Wind & Solar Debacle Forces Government to Build Gas-Fired Power Plants
Out of Gas: Grannies Freeze As Wind & Solar Obsessed Government Bans Gas Use
Delusional reliance on wind and solar, combined with a hatred of natural gas will see hundreds of elderly and vulnerable Victorians freeze to death, in the years to come. Unable to supply electricity as and when Victorians need it - power rationing is now a feature of daily life when peak demand combines with sunset … Continue reading Out of Gas: Grannies Freeze As Wind & Solar Obsessed Government Bans Gas Use
Get On With It: Australia’s Renewable Energy Calamity Screaming Out for Nuclear Power
In the midst of a RE-driven power pricing and supply calamity, the only thing worse than talking about nuclear energy, is not talking about nuclear energy. Australia has never had a nuclear power plant, and in 1998 placed an outright ban on nuclear power generation. Which seems a trifle odd, given Australia is the world’s … Continue reading Get On With It: Australia’s Renewable Energy Calamity Screaming Out for Nuclear Power
Fantasyland Fiction: Batteries Will Never Solve Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
For almost a century, electricity generation and distribution were treated as a tightly integrated system: it was designed and built as one, and is meant to operate as designed. However, the chaotic delivery of wind and solar have all but trashed the electricity generation and delivery system, as we know it. Germany, South Australia, Texas … Continue reading Fantasyland Fiction: Batteries Will Never Solve Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency
Total Joke: Australian Wind Farms Regularly Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
If Australia’s wind turbine fleet hadn’t cost power consumers $20 billion to build, the joke would almost be funny. Spread from Far North Queensland to the West Coast of South Australia, on the Eastern Grid, Australia’s wind farms are located in 5 States: Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, NSW and Queensland (see below). In SA they’re … Continue reading Total Joke: Australian Wind Farms Regularly Deliver Tiny Fraction of Their Total Capacity
Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australia’s energy system is a diabolical mess, largely thanks to the Federal Government’s Renewable Energy Target. But the Feds can’t take all the blame, in all instances. A number of States - usually headed by Trotskyites, like Chairman Dan Andrews - are determined to destroy the last vestiges of their economies. What the Fed’s … Continue reading Wanna Wreck Your Economy? Just Add Unreliable Subsidised Wind & Solar
No-Brainer: Nuclear Power Only Solution For Those Fretting About Carbon Dioxide Gas
Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not generate carbon dioxide gas in the process. So why is it that those fretting about human-generated carbon dioxide gas aren’t screaming its merits from the rooftops? There are plenty among them who fit the category of ‘human hater’ - the kind who see … Continue reading No-Brainer: Nuclear Power Only Solution For Those Fretting About Carbon Dioxide Gas
Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Having gouged $billions from power consumers and taxpayers to subsidise hopelessly unreliable wind and solar, the Federal government wants us to pay $millions more to undo the damage done to our once reliable power supply by its Renewable Energy Target. The point and purpose of subsidies and mandated targets favouring wind and solar was … Continue reading Government’s Grid Fix: Power Consumers Forced to Pay Coal-Fired Plants to Remain Online
Energy Means Life: Fossil Fuel Use Continues to Surge And The World’s All The Better For It
Grinding poverty is synonymous with the absence of reliable and affordable fossil fuel-based energy systems. Whether it’s oil for transport, gas for heating and cooking or coal for electricity, any country with a living standard worth having has access to at least two or more of the foregoing. Take a peek at a night-time satellite … Continue reading Energy Means Life: Fossil Fuel Use Continues to Surge And The World’s All The Better For It
