If you’re looking for a definition of ‘hopeless joke’, look no further than the daily contribution of Australia’s 6,960 MW industrial wind power fleet. One hackneyed myth relied upon by the wind cult in this country (everywhere, really) is that the “wind is always blowing somewhere”. Which is complete and utter bollocks. Spread from Far … Continue reading Hopeless Joke: Australia’s Wind Power Output Just Keeps On Collapsing, Time & Time Again

Avoidable Self-Harm: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Destroying Australia’s (Once) Reliable Power Grid
An obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar poses an existential threat to Australia’s power grid. So far, it’s been limited to “demand management” (a euphemism for controlled blackouts) and in wind and solar obsessed South Australia, plenty of uncontrolled blackouts, including the big one in September 2016 when the whole State went black: … Continue reading Avoidable Self-Harm: Chaotically Intermittent Wind & Solar Destroying Australia’s (Once) Reliable Power Grid
Snap Back From COVID-19 Crisis? Try Snapping Out Of The Obsession With Wind & Solar
COVID-19 has left Australia’s economy a victim of involuntarily euthanasia; what’s not been wiped out by insane renewable energy policies has been finished off by government enforced lockdowns. Australia’s PM, Scott Morrison talks about the economy enjoying a “snap back”, once the restrictions on business and movements are lifted. As if the deliberate destruction … Continue reading Snap Back From COVID-19 Crisis? Try Snapping Out Of The Obsession With Wind & Solar
Recession Buster: Australia’s Economic Recovery Depends On Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
A Chinese virus has taken up where Australia’s suicidal energy policies left off; crushing the entire economy, rather than just energy hungry industries, like manufacturing and mineral processing. Well, in truth, it’s the political reaction to COVID-19 that’s done the damage, rather than the pathogen itself. Having destroyed the hospitality and tourism sectors overnight, … Continue reading Recession Buster: Australia’s Economic Recovery Depends On Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Climate Cult Hijacks COVID-19 Crisis By Demanding More Subsidies For Wind & Solar
It didn’t take them long. The climate cult has hijacked the COVID-19 crisis, demanding more subsidies for wind and solar. Apparently, more windmills and solar panels will operate like some kind of collective vaccine against the coronavirus. Never mind that the worst affected COVID-19 victims need to be admitted to ICUs and hooked up to … Continue reading Climate Cult Hijacks COVID-19 Crisis By Demanding More Subsidies For Wind & Solar
Renewable Energy Rip-off: Wind & Solar Consistently Fail to Deliver the Goods
Adding wind and solar capacity is a bit like pushing on string; the outcome never matches the effort applied. Across the globe, it’s true to say that there has been a massive expansion in wind and solar power capacity. However, as Rafe Champion points out below, there’s a yawning gulf between the notional capacity of … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rip-off: Wind & Solar Consistently Fail to Deliver the Goods
Water Wise: Time To Kill Off Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro White Elephant
Wind and large-scale solar are doomed, but the saviour is said to be pumped hydro; paid for, of course, with other people’s money. Touted by ex-PM Malcom Turnbull and his hapless sidekick, Josh Frydenberg as the Nation’s mega-battery, the heavily-hyped Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme (shelved in the 1970s because it was uneconomic then) has … Continue reading Water Wise: Time To Kill Off Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro White Elephant
Virus Victims: Government’s COVID-19 Response Spells Doom For Wind & Solar Subsidies
The wind and solar ‘industries’ are in meltdown, as Governments throw $billions at the unemployed, workers and businesses in their responses to their COVID-19 shutdowns. It seems like only yesterday when renewable energy rent seekers were able to tap into an endless stream of taxpayer subsidies, government backed fixed-price contracts, soft loans, mandates and … Continue reading Virus Victims: Government’s COVID-19 Response Spells Doom For Wind & Solar Subsidies
Mind The Gaps: Wind Power Delivers Massive Daily Output Collapses Across Australia
There’s nothing like wind power when it comes to delivering grid chaos. It’s all about the weather, really. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, what’s depicted above and below speaks volumes about just how pathetic is the ‘performance’ of Australia’s wind power fleet. Spread from Far North Queensland, across the ranges of NSW, all … Continue reading Mind The Gaps: Wind Power Delivers Massive Daily Output Collapses Across Australia
Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless
Weather-dependent wind power has no inherent commercial value, simply because it can't be delivered as and when it’s needed. The only “value” is the massive and endless subsidies that it attracts. The graph above depicts the output for the month of March, from every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid, with a total notional … Continue reading Power Point(Less): Routine Total Output Collapses Mean Wind Power’s Worse Than Useless
