One modern myth is that political annihilation awaits any government devoted to reliable and affordable power. The meme has it that 100% of voters are 100% in favour of 100% renewable energy. They just might be. But, when faced with load-shedding, statewide blackouts and rocketing power prices, their purported fervour for nature’s wonder fuels … Continue reading Ontario Ousts Renewables Obsessed Government: Wind Power Subsidies ‘Gone With The Wynne’

Wind Power: World’s Greatest Joke – UK Left Powerless During the ‘Big Calm’
The greatest joke ever played on the world is the idea that the wind can - and will soon completely - power modern economies. When the wind disappears for days and even weeks on end, those that promote it tend to get twitchy and change the subject. Sometimes it’s mutterings about mega-batteries (that don’t exist) … Continue reading Wind Power: World’s Greatest Joke – UK Left Powerless During the ‘Big Calm’
National Energy Guarantee: Means Guaranteed Economic Destruction
Renewable energy rent-seekers hijacked the proposed National Energy Guarantee in order to ensure their subsidy-soaked futures. The reliability obligation - which would have guaranteed electricity to all power consumers during any worst-case scenario (eg, the height of summer when air-conditioners are running flat out and breathless weather means wind turbines are flat out producing anything … Continue reading National Energy Guarantee: Means Guaranteed Economic Destruction
If Australians Want Reliable & Affordable Electricity: It’s Coal-Fired Power or Nothing
The debate surrounding Australia’s energy crisis is occupied by two camps: deluded zealots and pragmatic realists. STT sits with the latter: we couldn’t care less whether electricity was generated using doggie doo, provided it’s available and affordable, to all-comers. Australia, as the world’s third largest exporter of uranium, ought to be throwing its money and … Continue reading If Australians Want Reliable & Affordable Electricity: It’s Coal-Fired Power or Nothing
War For Australian Business & Families Begins: Government Splits Over Renewable Energy Disaster

Liberal MPs Demand End to Australia’s Economy-Wrecking, Hidden $60bn Federal Power Tax
Already suffering the world’s highest power prices, Australian power consumers have watched prices jump by anything up to 28% in 12 months. The greatest increases occurred, funnily enough, in the all-renewable obsessed Australia Capital Territory, home to the Australian Federal Parliament in Canberra. The ACT entered power purchase agreements to buy wind power generated (occasionally) … Continue reading Liberal MPs Demand End to Australia’s Economy-Wrecking, Hidden $60bn Federal Power Tax
Energy Minister Delivers Killer-Blow to Australian Industry: Mass Power Cuts Now Formal Government Policy
An obsession with the ‘unreliables’ - wind and solar - has destroyed Australia’s once reliable and affordable power supply. Consistent with that theme, Australia’s Energy Minister has just given the two fingered salute to Australian business. Josh Frydenberg is pushing a National Energy Guarantee which (as pointed out in last night’s post) could have … Continue reading Energy Minister Delivers Killer-Blow to Australian Industry: Mass Power Cuts Now Formal Government Policy
Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Down to Wind & Solar Obsession
At the heart of Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity is an obsession with intermittent and unreliable wind and solar. Mandated and massive subsidies - that those attempting to deliver electricity using nature’s wonder fuels have been wallowing in since the Australian Labor Party seriously upped the RE ante in 2010 - resulted in a … Continue reading Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Down to Wind & Solar Obsession
Irony Alert: Weather Destroys Weather Dependent Power Source – Lightning Incinerating Wind Turbines
The wind industry and those that promote it look more ridiculous, by the day. An entirely weather dependent power source, abandoned a couple of centuries back for pretty obvious reasons, exhibits all the resilience of a snowflake in summer. The irony that some ordinary old meteorological phenomenon (wind, rain and lightning) can easily knock wind … Continue reading Irony Alert: Weather Destroys Weather Dependent Power Source – Lightning Incinerating Wind Turbines
State of Delusion: Push to Kill-Off Arizona’s Nuclear Plant & Go 50% Wind & Solar
Believing that wind and solar can power your economy means sacrificing our good friends, logic and reason. It also demands ignorance of the most basic of facts: eg, sunset and calm weather. The inevitable consequence of those daily occurrences on wind and solar power generation ought to be apparent to all but those suffering … Continue reading State of Delusion: Push to Kill-Off Arizona’s Nuclear Plant & Go 50% Wind & Solar
