http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8hKSry09F0 The wind’s fickleness is no mystery to kite flyers and sailors, yet wind power still gets pumped as if it’s cutting edge technology. Those few places attempting to run on nature’s wonder fuels have become economic debacles. One of those, RE ‘superpower’, South Australia has suffered routine load shedding for years, and rocketing … Continue reading The Wind God’s New Clothes: Why Weather Dependent Power Generation Can Never Work

‘Green’ Vandalism: The Mounting Toll of Wind Industry’s Wave of Ecological Destruction
In 2018, it’s easier to find a deluded wind turbine hugger, than an old-fashioned tree hugger. Michael Shellenberger is regarded as one of America’s leading environmental advocates, but his avowed hatred of subsidised, intermittent and unreliable wind and solar puts him at odds with his contemporaries. To the extent that carbon dioxide gas concerns him, … Continue reading ‘Green’ Vandalism: The Mounting Toll of Wind Industry’s Wave of Ecological Destruction
Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Australian Power Prices Through the Roof
Power prices matter: and they matter most to society’s poorest and most vulnerable. In less than a dozen years, Australia went from enjoying the cheapest power in the world, to suffering the world’s most expensive. In the last three years power prices have risen at double-digit rates: 20 to 24% last year and 13 to … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Australian Power Prices Through the Roof
US Courts Ordering Wind Power Operators to Buy Out Noise-Affected Neighbours at Market Rates
Life next to industrial wind turbines is a living hell for all 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 US Courts Ordering Wind Power Operators to Buy Out Noise-Affected Neighbours at Market Rates
Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
Business operators have just worked out that Australia’s renewable energy policies are deliberately designed to destroy them. Concepts such as ‘demand management’ (state-ordered deliberate blackouts) are the natural result of seeking to run an entire economy on sunshine and breezes. This country wouldn’t be debating Josh Frydenberg’s National Energy Guarantee, the Australian Competition & Consumer … Continue reading Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
Bureaucrats Backtrack: ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Now Deemed Impossible Before 2040
Suddenly, came the realisation that subsidised wind and solar will never replace Australia’s coal-fired power plants. The idea that they ever could was, of course, a perfect nonsense. Talk about being ‘technology agnostic’, ‘inevitable transitions’ and wind and solar actually ‘competing’ with coal, gas and hydro, say more about the protagonist’s state of mental health, … Continue reading Bureaucrats Backtrack: ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Now Deemed Impossible Before 2040
Renewable Energy Zealots Surrender: Coal Will Continue to Power Australia for 20 More Years
Renewable energy zealots claim spiralling power prices and rolling blackouts are just ‘teething troubles’ as we ‘transition’ to our 100% all RE future. On their worldview, it’s a matter of when, not if, modern economies end up completely ditching ‘dirty’ coal-fired power plants, and otherwise wean themselves off fossil fuels, altogether. Trouble is, in places … Continue reading Renewable Energy Zealots Surrender: Coal Will Continue to Power Australia for 20 More Years
Corrupt Consultants Ensure Wind Power Capital, South Australia has World’s Worst Wind Turbine Noise ‘Rules’
Over the last decade, the wind industry has ridden roughshod over the rights of law-abiding citizens to live peacefully in their very own homes. The battle that’s followed proves that the value of any right is determined by the beneficiaries’ determination to fight for it. Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a cacophony of pulsing, practically … Continue reading Corrupt Consultants Ensure Wind Power Capital, South Australia has World’s Worst Wind Turbine Noise ‘Rules’
Scotland The Brave: Thuggish Wind Farm Developer’s Plan to Wreck Highland Homes Defeated
The Scots have been long renowned for their fighting spirit. Think William Wallace and his mates, armed with sticks and a few claymores, wearing nothing more than last year’s drapes and some overworked and misplaced blue eyeshadow, giving the English a right Royal thumping. Every victory counts. Even small ones. Especially when your enemy is … Continue reading Scotland The Brave: Thuggish Wind Farm Developer’s Plan to Wreck Highland Homes Defeated
Power Politics: Rocketing Power Prices Demand Immediate End to Wind & Solar Subsidies
The causes of Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster are all political; and have nothing to do physics, engineering, the weather or some kind of fossil-fuelled conspiracy. The policies were deliberately designed to destroy Australia’s affordable and reliable power supplies. And, according to their purpose, they’ve done just that. Last week, the Australian Competition & Consumer … Continue reading Power Politics: Rocketing Power Prices Demand Immediate End to Wind & Solar Subsidies
