*** The most astonishing thing about Alan Finkel's report on Australia's electricity market calamity, is that the only stand-alone, CO2 emissions free generation source - nuclear power - barely rates a mention and gets dismissed as if it were some far fetched technology used by aliens. Finkel, a climate alarmist if ever there was one, … Continue reading Nuclear Power: The Only CO2 Free Power Generation System Available

Renewables Disaster Sees Australian Power Prices Jump Another 20% – With Worse to Come
Life coaches and self-help manuals talk about dreaming the life and living the dream. In Australia, as elsewhere, wind and solar power were touted as promising not only an end to the pesky habit of the Earth's climate to change (a selfish obsession that our planet has been hard at for 4.5 billion years), but … Continue reading Renewables Disaster Sees Australian Power Prices Jump Another 20% – With Worse to Come
Renewables Rent-Seekers Panic as Wind Power Operators Forced to Pay Back-Up Costs
If there is one thing that renewables-rent-seekers dread more than calm and cloudy weather, it has to be uncertainty. Always keen to preach about how cheap wind power has become, but always reticent to release their grip on the subsidy teat, the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers are now in a flat panic after … Continue reading Renewables Rent-Seekers Panic as Wind Power Operators Forced to Pay Back-Up Costs
Finkel’s Fantasyland: Report to ‘Save’ Australia’s Power Grid From Renewables Chaos a Death Sentence for Business
*** In yesterday's post we described Alan Finkel's report on Australia's power market fiasco as a mixture of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ – residing in a place where the fundamentals of physics and economics, logic and reason are playfully and permanently suspended – and Goldilocks – the story about an infantile quest to make sure … Continue reading Finkel’s Fantasyland: Report to ‘Save’ Australia’s Power Grid From Renewables Chaos a Death Sentence for Business
Power Prices Rocket & Dunces Dither as Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens
Yesterday (Friday, 9 June), Alan Finkel released his long awaited report on Australia's calamitous renewable energy policies, to sighs of despair and disappointment amongst those who actually understand how Australia's electricity market works; or, rather, has been knowingly destroyed by massive subsidies to intermittent, unreliable, chaotic and expensive wind and solar power. Finkel's report - … Continue reading Power Prices Rocket & Dunces Dither as Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens
Last Chance Hotel: Australia’s Energy Crisis at the Crossroads
*** Australia’s energy crisis is a self-inflicted calamity with no apparent end in sight. The PM, Malcolm Turnbull seems intent on protecting his son, Alex’s investment in Australia’s most notorious wind power outfit, Infigen (see our post here). While his gormless Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg behaves like a punch-drunk boxer, who cannot land a punch … Continue reading Last Chance Hotel: Australia’s Energy Crisis at the Crossroads
Greens Founder Calls Germany’s Renewables Policy: “an Economic, Social and Ecological Disaster”
When people turn on wind power, it's a one-way proposition: they never, ever worship these things again. And when the convert was among those who first championed the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, they don't just quietly fall out of love, they tend to become the loudest critics of all; a bit … Continue reading Greens Founder Calls Germany’s Renewables Policy: “an Economic, Social and Ecological Disaster”
Wealth of Scientific Evidence Shows Wind Turbine Noise Wrecks Sleep & Health
The evidence proving the unnecessary damage done to wind farm neighbours by the noise generated by giant industrial wind turbines is mounting by the day: Germany's Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep disruption and more (see our post here); and a Swedish group have shown that it's the … Continue reading Wealth of Scientific Evidence Shows Wind Turbine Noise Wrecks Sleep & Health
Scotland Squanders ₤Billions on Subsidised Wind & Gets Stone Age Power in Return
*** A decade or so from now, when thousands of wind turbines are quietly rusting in some dimwit’s back paddock, the next generation will rightly ask why states and whole nations squandered $billions on a wholly weather dependent power source, abandoned centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons? Eventually, the spotlight will turn on the political … Continue reading Scotland Squanders ₤Billions on Subsidised Wind & Gets Stone Age Power in Return
Renewables Rent-Seekers Reel as Trump Defies Climate-Cult & Delivers Fatal Blow to Paris Agreement
Donald Trump continues to infuriate the intelligentsia by delivering on the things he promised to deliver when he ran for President (how dare he!?!). They collectively dismissed him as a presidential hopeful and are still seething at the fact that they failed to predict his triumph; or, rather, to have guaranteed his defeat. Where the … Continue reading Renewables Rent-Seekers Reel as Trump Defies Climate-Cult & Delivers Fatal Blow to Paris Agreement
