Wind turbines are as useless as they are dangerous. Their dangers include the ability of self-immolating turbines and/or the often shoddily constructed electricity infrastructure meant to support them to spark terrifying bushfires, especially in the tinder dry Australian countryside in summer - so far, at least 4 bushfires have been started by turbines in … Continue reading Wind Farm Neighbours Burnt Out by Bushfire Sparked by Infigen Pursue $Millions in NSW Supreme Court

Renewables Reckoning: Power Prices Double in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia & Victoria, in Just 12 Months
One inevitable consequence of shackling your economy to intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar power is rocketing power prices. Another is routine load shedding (controlled blackouts) and statewide blackouts (when the grid manager completely loses control). All of those consequences are playing out in wind powered South Australia and its neighbouring state, Victoria. Both … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Power Prices Double in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia & Victoria, in Just 12 Months
Lunatics Paradise: Australia’s Renewables Fiasco Like Living in a Madhouse
Australia’s impoverished power consumers looking to their political leaders for solutions and/or respite can expect no relief. A collective form of insanity - let’s call it the madness of herds - has overcome both sides of politics in Australia. The Liberal/National Coalition is headed by a pair of wind worshipping lunatics, Malcolm Turnbull and his … Continue reading Lunatics Paradise: Australia’s Renewables Fiasco Like Living in a Madhouse
Fossil Fuel Renaissance: Australia’s Energy Minister Promotes Coal-Powered Cars
Just when you thought Australia’s Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg couldn’t get any more ridiculous, he outdoes himself. Presiding over a self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity (for which his Liberal/National Coalition is just as culpable as the Green/Labor Alliance that helped set it up), Frydenberg has spent the last fortnight or so pushing all … Continue reading Fossil Fuel Renaissance: Australia’s Energy Minister Promotes Coal-Powered Cars
Fighting for Air: Communities Rally to Stop Wind Projects Wrecking Local Airports
All power generation comes with risk. However, those risks are traded off against the immeasurable societal benefits provided by reliable and affordable electricity. Where the power source is wholly weather dependent – and the industry that profits from it wholly dependent upon massive and endless subsidies and, therefore, wholly unsustainable – there is nothing to … Continue reading Fighting for Air: Communities Rally to Stop Wind Projects Wrecking Local Airports
‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit: 328,000 Families Chopped from Grid
A deluded band of eco-Nazis keep telling us that rocketing power prices and unstable grids are just minor ‘teething problems’ on our way to an inevitable ‘transition’ to a brave new world run entirely on sunshine and breezes. The trouble is that with every turn of this Blue Planet the inevitable consequences of their obsession … Continue reading ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit: 328,000 Families Chopped from Grid
Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Pays $14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal-Fired Plants Can Deliver for $50
The cost of accommodating the chaos delivered by wind power is utterly staggering. And provides half the explanation as to why South Australia, Australia’s 'wind power capital' and the world's 'renewables leader', pays the highest retail power prices in the world. The massive subsidies included in the cost paid by retailers for wind power, provides … Continue reading Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Pays $14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal-Fired Plants Can Deliver for $50
Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark
In their more deluded moments, wind and sun worshippers claim that, if only fossil fuel guzzling, climate-deniers would shrivel up and die, nature’s ‘wonder fuels’ could easily provide 100% of everybody’s energy needs, now and until kingdom come - and do so absolutely free. Meanwhile, back on Earth, even on their best days, the contribution … Continue reading Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark
Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind 'industry' would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply … Continue reading Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
Pointless & Pathetic: South Australia’s Wind Power Output Repeatedly Plummets During Summer Heatwave (Again)
Where coal, gas, hydro and nuclear just deliver, wind power delivers nothing but chaos. If you’re looking for support for that truism, look no further than Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia. It’s Premier, Jay Weatherill and his Energy Minister, Tom Koutsantonis are as deluded as they are dangerous, which means things will get a … Continue reading Pointless & Pathetic: South Australia’s Wind Power Output Repeatedly Plummets During Summer Heatwave (Again)
