All care and no responsibility, the wind and solar ‘industries’ have been allowed to destroy the grid and the power market without consequence. At least on their part; at least for now. The retailer reliability obligation put in place by Federal Energy Minister, Angus Taylor (which was the only part of the National Energy Guarantee … Continue reading Loser Pays: Making Wind & Solar Pay the Staggering Cost of their Chaotic Intermittency

Code Black: Wind & Solar Chaos Guarantee Mass Summer Blackouts (Again)
As Summer approaches, Australia's wind and solar obsession means more mass blackouts are guaranteed. During January 2018, load shedding caught power consumers short in South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Energy hungry businesses such as aluminium smelters and even hospitals were forced to power down during a run of scorching days and nights, when temperatures … Continue reading Code Black: Wind & Solar Chaos Guarantee Mass Summer Blackouts (Again)
‘Green’ Hypocrites Want Industrial Wind Turbines in YOUR Backyard, But Never in Theirs
The green is always ready to spear hundreds of giant 240m (787ft) industrial wind turbines - into your backyard, but goes nuts if the ‘favour’ might be returned. Destroying your patch of paradise is a sacrifice that he is always willing to make. When former Greens leader, Dr Bob Brown started railing about the prospect … Continue reading ‘Green’ Hypocrites Want Industrial Wind Turbines in YOUR Backyard, But Never in Theirs
‘Green’ Magic: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ The Greatest Con Job in History
Sunset and calm weather mean that wind and solar will never be meaningful power sources. Talk about ‘storage’ overcoming their chaotic intermittency, is just that: talk. The sum total of the world’s grid scale storage capacity for electricity is risible. The biggest single battery in the world, sits in a sheep paddock in South Australia’s … Continue reading ‘Green’ Magic: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ The Greatest Con Job in History
Totally Unreliable Wind & Solar: Deliver Occasional Power & Guarantee Constant Chaos
Talking about wind and solar capacity is like pointing to a giant bucket, with a whole in its bottom; what's promised and what's delivered never match. The consumption of electricity is a here and now kind of thing. No one cares about how many windmills and solar panels there are, only that power is delivered … Continue reading Totally Unreliable Wind & Solar: Deliver Occasional Power & Guarantee Constant Chaos
Blown Away: Actual Wind Farm Output a Chaotic Fraction of Total Capacity
The renewable energy zealot occupies a world somewhere between fantasy and delusion, ignoring the consequences of sunset and calm weather. The mainstream media headlines still scream about a surge in wind or solar capacity, what they never talk about is actual output. And there’s a good reason for that. The data above comes from Aneroid … Continue reading Blown Away: Actual Wind Farm Output a Chaotic Fraction of Total Capacity
Solar Eclipsed: Renewable Energy Investors Fret as Share Price Plummets
The hopes of renewable energy investors depend on subsidies to wind and solar lasting forever. Sadly, for those with skin in the game, the longevity of the subsidies, targets, mandates, penalties and fines - that make intermittent wind and solar profitable - are limited. The idea was, of course, that after a decade or so … Continue reading Solar Eclipsed: Renewable Energy Investors Fret as Share Price Plummets
Just Deserts: Wind Power Outfits Sued For Causing South Australia’s Statewide Blackout
On 28 September 2016, the automatic shutdown of wind turbines in South Australia during a spring storm delivered a statewide ‘system black’. South Australia’s hapless Premier, Jay Weatherill led the wind industry’s propaganda charge, claiming that the collapse of a couple of power pylons in the state’s mid-North was what done it. The collapse of … Continue reading Just Deserts: Wind Power Outfits Sued For Causing South Australia’s Statewide Blackout
Victoria’s Suicidal 50% Renewable Energy Target Set to Wreck Grid & Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
Want to know what a 50% RET does to grid stability and power prices, then look no further than South Australia. Despite some desperate wind industry propaganda efforts suggesting that South Australians are currently enjoying 1970s power prices, Australia’s renewable energy capital still pays the world’s highest power prices – thanks to its ludicrous 50% Renewable Energy … Continue reading Victoria’s Suicidal 50% Renewable Energy Target Set to Wreck Grid & Drive Power Prices Into Orbit
‘Green’ Insanity: Why Chaotic Wind & Solar Are No Answer to World’s Woes
Suddenly, the Australian press are treating wind power with the contempt it deserves, due to an about-face by former Greens leader, Bob Brown. True it is you won’t hear Dr Bob explaining why heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind power is a meaningless power source. Bob won’t be talking about the toxic lakes of heavy … Continue reading ‘Green’ Insanity: Why Chaotic Wind & Solar Are No Answer to World’s Woes
