As winter starts to bite across Australia, the working poor, unemployed and pensioners face an anxious battle between being frozen to … Continue reading Intolerable Cruelty: Rocketing RE Power Costs Punishing Poorest & Most Vulnerable
Wind & Solar Fantasy Unplugged: 100% RE Means Total Economic Destruction
There’s something almost comical when RE zealots try to outdo each other. Those that worship wind and solar are deluded, to be sure. However, those claiming that nature’s wonder fuels can deliver 100% of our power needs are truly ‘touched’. At a physical level it is, of course, possible. But building TWhs worth of pumped … Continue reading Wind & Solar Fantasy Unplugged: 100% RE Means Total Economic Destruction
If Wind and Sunshine are Free, Why Is It That Wind & Solar Power Are So Expensive?

Wind Power Output Collapses Send Power Prices into Orbit: The World’s Biggest Joke Just Got Serious
Intermittent wind and solar are a natural guarantee of grid chaos and rocketing power prices. The debacle that started in the renewable energy ‘superpower’, also known as South Australia has broken the border and is spreading fast. New South Wales is now being treated to a lesson on how increasing reliance on the ‘unreliables’ inevitably … Continue reading Wind Power Output Collapses Send Power Prices into Orbit: The World’s Biggest Joke Just Got Serious
Small Modular Reactors: Pint-Sized Performers Add to Long-Term Nuclear Solution
STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable and reliable it’s the perfect foil for those obsessed about carbon dioxide gas - because it doesn’t generate any, while generating power on demand. One of the feeble ‘arguments’ against it, is that nuclear power plants are of such vast scale that they take longer … Continue reading Small Modular Reactors: Pint-Sized Performers Add to Long-Term Nuclear Solution
RE Regrets: Germany Laments its ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar

State Sanctioned Theft: Australia’s Renewable Energy Subsidies a $60bn Wealth Transfer
Selling electricity is a complex caper, permitting a sharp and mercenary few to make out like bandits, at the expense of the gullible many. In Australia, the power market was hijacked around 20 years ago, with the creation of the National Electricity Market. Then the game changed entirely, as chaotic wind and solar were added … Continue reading State Sanctioned Theft: Australia’s Renewable Energy Subsidies a $60bn Wealth Transfer
