Sunset and calm weather mean that wind and solar don’t compete with coal, gas or nuclear power, but that doesn’t stop pointless cost comparisons. Electricity generated when you don’t need it, is worthless - and wind or solar power that you can't get, just when you need it most, can't be bought at any price. … Continue reading No Contest: Intermittent Subsidised Wind & Solar Most Expensive Electricity of All

Falmouth’s Two Turbine Wind Farm Fiasco: Shutdown Order Leaves Town $7,000,000 in Debt
Take a small Massachusetts township, add two wind turbines, mix with hubris and arrogance and you have a perfect recipe for disaster. In the beginning, there was the notion that a wind turbine or two would help Falmouth save on power costs and unite the community in an effort to purportedly save the planet. That … Continue reading Falmouth’s Two Turbine Wind Farm Fiasco: Shutdown Order Leaves Town $7,000,000 in Debt
Eve of Destruction: Australia’s Economy First Victim of Renewable Energy Fiasco
If the objective of Australia’s energy policy is destroying its economy, we’re well on the way. With more than $70,000,000,000 squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, both large-scale and domestic, power prices rocketing out of control, routine, mass power cuts, whenever the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in, and the destruction of … Continue reading Eve of Destruction: Australia’s Economy First Victim of Renewable Energy Fiasco
100% Lunacy: Australia’s Power Policy Becomes Playground for Deranged Virtue Signallers
Australia’s energy policy crisis is like Game of Thrones starring complete idiots - every crazy plot twist is matched by something crazier still. The latest comes from New South Wales. NSW Labor opposition leader, Michael Daley isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last, maniac to suggest the world can be powered entirely … Continue reading 100% Lunacy: Australia’s Power Policy Becomes Playground for Deranged Virtue Signallers
Déjà vu All Over Again: Liberal PM Determined to Squander $10 Billion on Pumped Hydro White Elephant
Australia’s obsession with hopelessly intermittent wind and solar has rendered its power supply both unreliable and unaffordable: it’s time to stop digging. Except, on both sides of the political divide, it seems the obsession is one without reason or respite. Labor’s opposition leader, Bill Shorten is determined to destroy Australia’s economic prosperity - literally … Continue reading Déjà vu All Over Again: Liberal PM Determined to Squander $10 Billion on Pumped Hydro White Elephant
Renewables Rip-Off: Massive Subsidies Make Offshore Wind Power Most Expensive Of All
The true cost of chaotically intermittent wind power is staggering; the cost of offshore wind power is astronomical. In Australia, the Labor backed construction union is howling about the fact that they can’t get an enormous offshore wind project up and running off the coast of Victoria. Throwing scorn at the Federal Coalition government about … Continue reading Renewables Rip-Off: Massive Subsidies Make Offshore Wind Power Most Expensive Of All
Noise Matters: Why Wind Turbine Noise Drives Wind Farm Neighbours Nuts
Life next to industrial wind turbines is a living hell for far too many rural residents. Practically incessant turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound drives neighbours nuts, preventing them from sleeping in – and otherwise enjoying the comforts of – their very own homes. An Australian Court found long-term exposure to wind turbine noise to be … Continue reading Noise Matters: Why Wind Turbine Noise Drives Wind Farm Neighbours Nuts
Nuclear Power Works: That’s Why The Wind & Solar Industries Hate It So Much
Only the most delusional climate alarmist still believes that wind and solar power can help in their global crusade against carbon dioxide gas. As we have said repeatedly, nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source which is capable of delivering power on demand, without CO2 emissions being generated in the process. Perversely, notwithstanding … Continue reading Nuclear Power Works: That’s Why The Wind & Solar Industries Hate It So Much
Labor’s 50% RET: Rocketing Power Prices Bring Guaranteed Economic Destruction
Australia’s renewable energy policy is already a disaster. But Labor’s Bill Shorten promises total catastrophe with his National 50% RET. In yesterday’s post, STT picked up on economic analysis put forward by Dr Brian Fisher, which provided a wake-up call to Australians. The economic cost of current so-called ‘climate and energy policy’ is in … Continue reading Labor’s 50% RET: Rocketing Power Prices Bring Guaranteed Economic Destruction
Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle: Government Mandates Economic Suicide
Australia’s energy policy reads more like a Greek tragedy. An obsession with wind and solar has left Australians with rocketing power prices and an unstable grid. Renewable energy rent seekers have profited (obscenely) from the greatest government mandated wealth transfer in history: $70,000,000,000 worth of subsidies and soft loans will be thrown at wind … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle: Government Mandates Economic Suicide
