Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy calamity is existential for communities that support energy hungry businesses. Not that you’d know it from the noises that emanate from the Nation’s capital, Canberra. The Greens would destroy capitalism in a heartbeat, should they ever get control of the joint.

American Resistance: Rural Communities Reject Destructive & Disruptive Wind Power Projects

American Wreckers: Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is an Economic Suicide Pact
Out to destroy an entire economy? Start with energy. South Australia did. A 50% RET delivers the world’s highest power prices and the chaotic delivery of wind and solar has left the wind and solar capital an international laughingstock. Frequent and mass power cuts, along with Australia’s only statewide blackout, helped on that score. … Continue reading American Wreckers: Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ is an Economic Suicide Pact
Europe’s Wind Industry Faces Total Collapse: No New Wind Farms Built Since 2017

Fatal Attraction: America’s Big Freeze Reveals Deadly Danger of Unreliable Renewables
Relying on intermittent wind and solar requires a kind of blind faith that power might be delivered when needed most, such as the Big Freeze that hit America’s Mid-west last month, and the heatwave that hit Victoria and South Australia, the month before that. On that score, STT’s post - Minnesota Madness: Big Freeze Exposes … Continue reading Fatal Attraction: America’s Big Freeze Reveals Deadly Danger of Unreliable Renewables
