The industrial revolution was all about harnessing cheap and reliable energy. Australia’s de-industrialisation has reversed that process. An obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has sent Australian power prices through the roof. Energy hungry businesses such as mining, mineral processing and manufacturing are watching their profit margins evaporate. Pretty soon those … Continue reading Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy

Follow The Money: Wind & Solar Lobbies Threw $Millions At ‘Climate Change’ Election (And Lost!)
The 2019 Federal election was billed as a referendum on Climate Change, with Labor’s Bill Shorten pitching up a 50% Renewable Energy Target and a whopping carbon dioxide gas tax, to boot. Bill also promised that he would eradicate Australia’s frequent and punishing droughts, with the aid of windmills and solar panels. Although no one, … Continue reading Follow The Money: Wind & Solar Lobbies Threw $Millions At ‘Climate Change’ Election (And Lost!)
Fading History: Britain’s Renewables Obsession Renders Reliable & Affordable Power Distant Memory
Back in August, Brits had their first taste of the kind of grid chaos inevitably delivered when you pin your hopes on the weather. Mass blackouts are the inevitable consequence of the notion that a modern economy can power itself on sunshine and breezes. As Brits are learning to their cost and consternation, electricity generation … Continue reading Fading History: Britain’s Renewables Obsession Renders Reliable & Affordable Power Distant Memory
Turbine Trouble: School Board’s Wind Turbine ‘Investment’ Ends in Financial Disaster
As Warren Buffett put it: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Buffett might have continued, that it’s the only reason anyone invests in them. Apart from the subsidies they attract, wind turbines … Continue reading Turbine Trouble: School Board’s Wind Turbine ‘Investment’ Ends in Financial Disaster
Energy Essentials: Clean, Safe & Ever Reliable Nuclear Is The Obvious Choice
The well-worn meme about the dangers of nuclear power doesn’t stand first contact with reality. As Katie Tub details below, nuclear power not only delivers a reliable and affordable stream of electrons, it does so in a manner that’s a whole lot safer than anything else humans engage in. Katie tallies up the tiny number … Continue reading Energy Essentials: Clean, Safe & Ever Reliable Nuclear Is The Obvious Choice
New Nowhere Land: Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens With Renewed Renewables Push
Australia’s embattled power consumers thought they were about to get a break, then their PM decided to throw another billion dollars in subsidies to wind and solar. And it’s not like taxpayers and power consumers weren’t already on the hook. The Federal government's Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) is costing all Australian power consumers over … Continue reading New Nowhere Land: Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens With Renewed Renewables Push
Wicked Waste: Voter Fury At The Staggering & Mounting Cost of Australia’s Wind & Solar Subsidies
By throwing another lazy $billion dollars at intermittent wind and solar, PM Scott Morrison has not only lost the constituency that voted for him, he’s lost the plot. 20 years ago, Australians enjoyed the cheapest power in the world; now they the prices they suffer are up there with the world’s most expensive. All … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Voter Fury At The Staggering & Mounting Cost of Australia’s Wind & Solar Subsidies
Forgotten People: New Wind & Solar Slush Fund Shows PM’s Contempt for Quiet Australians
The great unwashed in Australia’s suburbs and regions worked out long ago that heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar represent a problem, rather than a solution. Watching their power prices go through the roof, with much worse to come, the ambitious working classes were clearly none too keen on suffering more of … Continue reading Forgotten People: New Wind & Solar Slush Fund Shows PM’s Contempt for Quiet Australians
Numerical Nonsense: Why Claims Wind & Solar Can Power the Planet Just Don’t Add Up
That troubled teenage, Greta the Fretter has reignited the nonsense that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. The girl that can see carbon dioxide gas, heads up a mathematically challenged group, who pronounce the time and date when the world will happily operate without generating any CO2 at all, … Continue reading Numerical Nonsense: Why Claims Wind & Solar Can Power the Planet Just Don’t Add Up
Community Ecstatic as Planning Commission Slams Chinese Backed Wind Farm Project
The Gullen Range wind farm was a disaster from the get go (see our post here) – with hundreds of homes turned into sonic torture traps (see our post here). There are 32 non-involved residences within 1.5 km of turbines; about 60 within 2 km; and 118 within 3 km. Within 5 km there are about 240 … Continue reading Community Ecstatic as Planning Commission Slams Chinese Backed Wind Farm Project
