Germany has been held up by renewable energy zealots as the shining example of how to run on sunshine and breezes. However, like its doppelgänger down under, South Australia, eventually and inevitably, reality bites. German householders and businesses (just like those in South Australia) are being belted by rocketing power prices and - every time … Continue reading German Wind Industry Collapse Imminent: Engineering Professor Deems ‘Energiewende’ Terminal

Wrong Bet: Unreliable, Intermittent, Subsidised Wind & Solar Odds-on Losers
It’s said that you can’t keep a good man down and, in that respect, Ian Plimer is simply irrepressible. His latest book, The Climate Delusion and The Great Electricity Rip-off is jumping off the shelves. A précis (and where to purchase it) appears in our post here: Ian Plimer: The Climate Change Delusion and The … Continue reading Wrong Bet: Unreliable, Intermittent, Subsidised Wind & Solar Odds-on Losers
Subsidised Wind & Solar: Guaranteed Path to Rocketing Prices & Blackouts
Australia’s diabolically destructive renewable energy policies have led to rocketing power prices and a grid on the brink of collapse. Australian power consumers currently connected to the Eastern Grid (that connects Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania) have no idea just how close they are to watching their first total ‘system … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar: Guaranteed Path to Rocketing Prices & Blackouts
Why Wind Power is the Greatest Economic & Environmental Fraud in History
When called upon the think of certainties, gravity springs to mind (at least on earth). Although, for the wind industry it does tend to deliver harsh results - see above, yet another fatal collapse, this time in Lincoln, Nebraska. Another certainty, is that once people tackle the facts, they turn against wind power with a … Continue reading Why Wind Power is the Greatest Economic & Environmental Fraud in History
FAIL: PM’s Power Market ‘Game Changer’ Still Wedded in Delusion
Malcolm Turnbull’s attempt to save Australia’s electricity grid from imminent collapse has been tagged the National Energy Guarantee. Whether or not it guarantees that the lights stay on and the economy can keep limping along, is anybody’s guess. However, it is a guarantee of controversy. When the wind industry, its parasites and spruikers finally tumble … Continue reading FAIL: PM’s Power Market ‘Game Changer’ Still Wedded in Delusion
Renewables Debacle Rolls On: Power Politics Always & Everywhere About Power Prices
That a government decides to entertain a moment of self-congratulation - simply because the lights might stay on - would be understandable, if the Country in question was North Korea or Cuba. However, the primary purpose of Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee is just that: allowing the Federal government to claim ‘mission accomplished’, if Australia … Continue reading Renewables Debacle Rolls On: Power Politics Always & Everywhere About Power Prices
Blackouts Loom: National Energy Guarantee Aims to Keep Australia’s Lights On When the Wind Stops Blowing
With reliable power in short supply this coming Summer (and beyond), PM, Malcolm Turnbull was bound to act. In yesterday’s post, we detailed how the National Energy Guarantee is meant to work, what it does and what it will not do. At the heart of the NEG is a simple objective: keep everyone’s lights and … Continue reading Blackouts Loom: National Energy Guarantee Aims to Keep Australia’s Lights On When the Wind Stops Blowing
The Killing Season Begins: Renewable Energy Disaster Puts PM Malcolm Turnbull at Risk
In Canberra, political knives are being quietly sharpened in back rooms and corridors, with one target in mind. Malcolm Turnbull knifed sitting PM, Tony Abbott in September 2015, on the basis that Abbott had lost public support. Whatever Turnbull thought he might have done in power, if that included sorting out Australia’s self-inflicted power pricing and … Continue reading The Killing Season Begins: Renewable Energy Disaster Puts PM Malcolm Turnbull at Risk
Time to Tear Up Australia’s Economic Suicide Note: Renewable Energy Target Must Go Now
Malcolm Turnbull should come clean and explain to his party and the public that his son, Alex is heavily invested in wind power outfit, Infigen and did so at a time when it was on the brink of bankruptcy. In one of the luckiest bets of all time (see our post here), Alex Turnbull managed … Continue reading Time to Tear Up Australia’s Economic Suicide Note: Renewable Energy Target Must Go Now
