Our good friends’ logic and reason were sacrificed long ago by the High Priests of the wind and solar cult. Attempt to point out the inevitable effect of sunset on solar output and/or calm weather on wind power output and you’ll be branded ‘heretic’, before you know it. You’ll be sent off to an education … Continue reading Power Battle: Common Sense Abandoned With Push For More Intermittent Wind & Solar

It’s Subsidised Wind & Solar or Meaningful Well-Paid Jobs: But You Can’t Have Both
Australian power prices went through the roof as a result of its obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar (see above). The relationship is so stark, why even a blind man, open to reality, will readily see it. However, no amount of evidence appears to register with those who pretend to govern … Continue reading It’s Subsidised Wind & Solar or Meaningful Well-Paid Jobs: But You Can’t Have Both
Wrecking Ball: Australia’s Fixation With Subsidised Renewables Guarantees Economic Disaster
If the object was wrecking every last manufacturing, mineral processing and mining job, then Australia’s renewable energy policy has delivered on time and under budget. Starting in 2001 with John Howard’s Renewable Energy Target (massively expanded by Kevin Rudd in 2009), the subsidies being squandered on intermittent wind and solar are now in the order … Continue reading Wrecking Ball: Australia’s Fixation With Subsidised Renewables Guarantees Economic Disaster
Technology Tease: On The Cruel Promise of a Renewables/Hydrogen Fuelled Future
The wind and solar industries were built on lies, run on myth and are fuelled by subsidies, so the only way forward is more of the very same. It took politicians and punters around a decade to cotton on to the hopeless unreliability and chaotic intermittency of solar and wind power. Which required an … Continue reading Technology Tease: On The Cruel Promise of a Renewables/Hydrogen Fuelled Future
Power Politics: Want to Win Elections? Then Don’t Ignore Spiralling Electricity Prices
With Biden and the Squad in the White House, the Californian experience of spiralling power prices will soon be delivered to all Americans, thanks to a raft of suicidal renewable energy policies that are about to be landed across the USA. The energy hungry businesses and industries that Trump brought home, will soon start packing … Continue reading Power Politics: Want to Win Elections? Then Don’t Ignore Spiralling Electricity Prices
How to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Just Add Subsidised Wind & Solar
Australians once enjoyed the cheapest and most reliable power in the world; now they suffer the world’s highest prices and they’re lucky to get power, at all. Throwing billions at weather-dependent wind and sunshine dependent solar has had the inevitable consequence of destroying both the reliability and affordability electricity, in a country blessed with vast … Continue reading How to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies: Just Add Subsidised Wind & Solar
No Renewables Recharge: Busting the ‘Big Batteries Will Save Wind & Solar’ Myth
You know the wind and solar industries are in trouble when they’re reduced to muttering about humongous batteries saving their bacon. Around the world, renewable energy rent-seekers have been furiously peddling the myth that mega-batteries are a free and easy solution to the hopeless intermittency of weather-dependent wind and solar. The line goes that giant … Continue reading No Renewables Recharge: Busting the ‘Big Batteries Will Save Wind & Solar’ Myth
No Contest: Never Reliable Wind & Solar Can’t Compete with Ever Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Renewables acolytes have been massaging the numbers for years, in an attempt to show that wind and solar power are the cheapest of all. The standard bag of tricks includes ignoring the capital cost of having every single (unreliable) megawatt of wind or solar constantly backed up by another (reliable) megawatt of coal, gas, nuclear … Continue reading No Contest: Never Reliable Wind & Solar Can’t Compete with Ever Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Australia’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Rush Threatens Total Power Grid Collapse
Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Now, amongst the myriad of energy commissars and boffins, it’s a case of avoiding responsibility for the disaster that everybody (save them) saw coming. For years the likes of Kerry Schott - head of the inaptly named Energy Security Board - … Continue reading Australia’s Subsidised Wind & Solar Rush Threatens Total Power Grid Collapse
Power Policy Hijacked: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Holding Power Consumers Hostage
A slavish obsession with intermittent wind and solar has reliably delivered unreliable power and rocketing power prices. The politics of power has been taken out of the hands of voters and is now firmly in the grasp of cashed-up rent seekers - hell-bent on parachuting their own pet candidates into green-tinged seats, across the … Continue reading Power Policy Hijacked: Renewable Energy Rent Seekers Holding Power Consumers Hostage
