South Australia is renowned for the world’s highest power prices and mass blackouts, thanks to its risible ‘reliance’ on sunshine and breezes. In Australia’s RE capital, sunset and massive, sudden and unpredictable collapses in wind power output not only result in mass load shedding (controlled blackouts), but send spot prices for power into the … Continue reading Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia

Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!
If you’re reading this post in Australia, you’re doing so thanks to coal-fired power. Don’t like it? Then get off the internet. And, while you’re at it, turn off your lights, your air-conditioner, let your smart phone run flat and, just for laughs, start tackling busy intersections without the benefit of traffic lights. Wind ‘powered’ … Continue reading Living in Australia? Then You’re Being Powered By Coal – So Deal With It!
Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
The world was overrun by insanely costly and chaotically intermittent wind and solar, thanks to an endless stream of other people’s money. Preaching the gospel about nature’s wonder fuels, isn’t simply about moral posturing and virtue signalling. It’s also about separating taxpayers and power consumers from their hard-earned: over the life of the Federal … Continue reading Energy Minister – Angus Taylor: Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Virtue Signalling with Other People’s Money’
Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
The wind and solar industries are built on lies and fuelled by subsidies. Angus Taylor is alive to the former and focused on ending the latter. Barely a month into the job, for some reason, the very mention of Angus Taylor sends renewable energy rent seekers into a state of apoplexy. One reason could … Continue reading Mortal Enemy: New Energy Minister – Angus Taylor Spells Doom for Subsidised Wind & Solar
Time to Die: New PM Must Bury Turnbull’s $10bn Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Boondoggle
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 Time to Die: New PM Must Bury Turnbull’s $10bn Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro Boondoggle
Marriage Meltdown: How A Love Affair With Intermittent Wind & Solar Ended In Tears
Australia’s grab bag of renewable energy policies are like a marriage made in hell. Destroying its once reliable grid and sending power prices through the roof, Federal and State Renewable Energy Targets are designed to destroy conventional generators. And, so far, they’ve done an admirable job. Australia now faces a summer of widespread blackouts and … Continue reading Marriage Meltdown: How A Love Affair With Intermittent Wind & Solar Ended In Tears
Farmers Fightback: Investigator’s Noise Nuisance Finding Leaves Australian Wind Industry Furious
For too long the wind industry has ‘owned the game’. Thanks to a determined lawyer and her equally determined clients, they’ve just lost it. Following on from Saturday’s post - Victorian Vengeance: Neighbours Launch $Multi-Million Noise Nuisance Law Suit Against Wind Farm Operator & Local Council - STT takes another look at the case that's … Continue reading Farmers Fightback: Investigator’s Noise Nuisance Finding Leaves Australian Wind Industry Furious
Wind & Solar Rewind: Victorian Labor Promises to Repeat South Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster
Ignoring neighbouring South Australia’s wind & solar debacle, Victoria’s delusional Labor Premier Daniel Andrews is determined to repeat it. Despite some recent 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 Target. SA’s 50% RET … Continue reading Wind & Solar Rewind: Victorian Labor Promises to Repeat South Australia’s Renewable Energy Disaster
New Australian PM’s Energy Reboot Screaming Out for Nuclear Option, Now
If CO2 gas really is the existential threat it’s made out to be, then nuclear power is the only solution. That’s if you want to provide reliable and affordable electricity to all comers, rather than destroying businesses and punishing households? In 2018, with debacles like wind ‘powered’ Germany, South Australia and Victoria on show, for all the World … Continue reading New Australian PM’s Energy Reboot Screaming Out for Nuclear Option, Now
