In response to the National Wind Power Fraud Rally in June, struggling Danish fan maker, Vestas paid $millions to a crack team of spin doctors to invent a campaign aimed at winning back the “moral” high ground. It called its new public relations model “Act on Facts” - we covered some of their “facts” in … Continue reading Vestas’ Danish Victims Lay Out the FACTS

When the Wick Ain’t Worth the Candle
**** Giant fans: costly; unsightly; noisy; inefficient; pointless, because they can never reduce CO2 emissions; the cause of millions of bird and bat deaths each year; and built with rare earths, the mining and processing of which is turning China into a toxic wasteland - what’s not to like? Notwithstanding the growing list of dubious … Continue reading When the Wick Ain’t Worth the Candle
Tony Abbott’s Business Advisor, Maurice Newman says: “RET is killing manufacturing”
Maurice Newman was the former head of Deutsche Bank, the ABC and ASX so you’d think he might know a thing or two about the big end of town.

Keith De Lacy: “New” Labor – Out to Punish the Poor & Get Rich
*** A few posts back we looked at how South Australia went from economic zero to economic hero during the 1950s and 1960s - with the help of a pragmatic Adelaide Hills farmer, Sir Tom Playford. Tom created a manufacturing and industrial investment paradise - principally by making cheap and reliable power available through the … Continue reading Keith De Lacy: “New” Labor – Out to Punish the Poor & Get Rich
Game On: the Race to Kill the RET
**** With the Head Boy, Tony Abbott recently signalling the demise of the RET (see our post here) Labor apparatchiks have gone into a flat panic. Labor is a party that’s controlled by Australia’s Unions - and fed and fattened on a steady diet of the money controlled by Union backed Superannuation funds. Over the … Continue reading Game On: the Race to Kill the RET
ETSA: Sir Tom Playford’s Ghost
**** Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there was a place called South Australia - and it enjoyed electricity delivered reliably and at retail prices amongst the lowest in the world (no, it wasn’t a dream). The brainchild of agrarian socialist, Liberal Premier, Sir Thomas Playford, the Electricity Trust of South … Continue reading ETSA: Sir Tom Playford’s Ghost
PAC Chair Garry West: Ignorance is the New “Black”
**** STT readers will recall our coverage of the sordid decision by the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) to spear 55 giant fans right into the heart of a peaceful and thriving NSW Tablelands community called Collector. The PAC was quite happy to overlook a suite of lies, treachery and deceit tossed up by Thai-turbine-terrorists, … Continue reading PAC Chair Garry West: Ignorance is the New “Black”

Macca shoulder to shoulder with Tony Abbott as PM signals end for RET
Last Wednesday, Action Man Abbott fronted the Canberra press gallery and delivered a speech that signals the end of Australia’s insanely expensive (and completely pointless) Renewable Energy Target (RET). Tony outlined the Coalition’s vision for restoring Australia’s beleaguered manufacturing sector, no doubt, in response to General Motor’s recent announcement that it will pull the … Continue reading Macca shoulder to shoulder with Tony Abbott as PM signals end for RET
