Wind power is like that annoying tight-wad cousin who stays for a week, drinks your beer fridge dry and then leaves in the dead of night. We’re constantly told that the ‘transition’ to wind power is inevitable. But, in the same breath, we are also told that, at least for a while, it will need … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Wind Power Always Needs Gas, But Gas Can Always Go It Alone

Death’s Icy Grip: Climate Change Won’t Kill Granny, But Climate Change Policies Do
Children as young as five are now taught to fear global warming in the way their mean uncles once terrified them with tales of ghosts and bogeymen, in days gone past. Hysterical and overblown claims that runaway climate change is about to kill your granny are only half wrong: what’s likely to do the old … Continue reading Death’s Icy Grip: Climate Change Won’t Kill Granny, But Climate Change Policies Do
Renewables Rip-Off: Despite $4 Billion in Annual Subsidies, Wind & Solar Delivers a Trivial 2% of Australia’s Power Demand
In any bargain, those stumping up their own cash, tend to ask what they’re getting in return. When it comes to the billions in subsidies thrown at windmills and solar panels, the answer is: not much. Including domestic, rooftop solar annual subsidies to wind and solar add up to a staggering $4 billion. The cost … Continue reading Renewables Rip-Off: Despite $4 Billion in Annual Subsidies, Wind & Solar Delivers a Trivial 2% of Australia’s Power Demand
Energy Minister Dumbstruck as Renewable Energy Calamity Crushes Australian Businesses & Families
In the midst of a self-inflicted power pricing and supply calamity, you’d hope your Energy Minister could identify the cause and fix it. When the Minister happens to be Josh Frydenberg, any hope of a sensible solution fast turns to disappointment, on its way to frustration and exasperation. From the moment he took up … Continue reading Energy Minister Dumbstruck as Renewable Energy Calamity Crushes Australian Businesses & Families
Angela’s Angst: €Billions Squandered on Wind & Solar But Germany’s CO2 Emissions Continue to Rise
The one, nay the only, ‘justification’ for the $billions squandered on subsidised wind power is ‘saving’ the planet from CO2 gas. Except, that the wind industry has never produced a shred of credible evidence that chaotic and intermittent wind power has actually reduced CO2 gas emissions, anywhere on that planet. If CO2's your 'poison', wind … Continue reading Angela’s Angst: €Billions Squandered on Wind & Solar But Germany’s CO2 Emissions Continue to Rise
Black Plague: Wind Turbine Construction Turning Ontario’s Water Supply to Toxic Sludge
It’s not just that the wind industry is destroying Ontario’s water supplies that peeves people, it’s that they continue to lie about it. Those searching for a universally hospitable and polite group of people, need look no further than Canadians, and the industrious rural folk of Ontario, are no exception. These are the farming communities … Continue reading Black Plague: Wind Turbine Construction Turning Ontario’s Water Supply to Toxic Sludge
Frydenberg Fiddles as Renewables Disaster Hits Businesses with 30% Annual Power Price Hike
Flummoxed renewable energy zealots can’t escape the obvious connection between heavily subsidised and utterly unreliable renewables and rocketing power prices. As Malcolm Turnbull and Josh Frydenberg close ranks to protect renewables rent seekers (including the PM’s son, Alex), the casualties keep mounting. One of those is Len Morabito, who operates four independent supermarkets. In … Continue reading Frydenberg Fiddles as Renewables Disaster Hits Businesses with 30% Annual Power Price Hike
Renewables Reckoning: Close Coal-Fired Power Plants & Watch Power Prices Rocket
Adding massively subsidised and chaotically delivered wind and solar to a power grid is guaranteed to send power prices through the roof (see above). Witness a little economic backwater called South Australia which - due to a maniacal obsession with sunshine and breezes - suffers the highest retail power prices in the world, routine load … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Close Coal-Fired Power Plants & Watch Power Prices Rocket
Economic Fantasy: Battery ‘Solution’ to Intermittent Wind & Solar Would Cost $Trillions
It took the proletariat a nanosecond to work out that wind power cannot, and will never, work as a meaningful power generation source. Graphs like the one above - depicting the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (spread across four states, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia) - quickly gave … Continue reading Economic Fantasy: Battery ‘Solution’ to Intermittent Wind & Solar Would Cost $Trillions
Dog-Ate-My-Homework ‘Defence’: Wind Industry Blames Poor ‘Performance’ on the Weather
As Australia’s Energy Minister’s gathered for a panicked attempt to keep the subsidised renewable energy scam rolling for just that bit longer, the Wind Gods conspired to deflate their pumped-up rhetoric about Australia’s ‘inevitable transition’ to nature’s wonder fuels: sunshine and breezes. What’s depicted above, courtesy of Aneroid Energy, is the output from every wind … Continue reading Dog-Ate-My-Homework ‘Defence’: Wind Industry Blames Poor ‘Performance’ on the Weather
