Australia’s Renewables Debacle Killing Business, Jobs & Whole Energy Hungry Industries
Australia’s suicidal renewable energy policies have driven power prices through the roof and are driving energy hungry businesses and whole industries to the wall.

Virginia Signs Economic Suicide Note: Democrat Governor Sets ‘Heroic’ Wind Power Target
There is no surer way of wrecking an economy than cranking up energy costs. And there is no surer way of doing that, than by attempting to run on subsidised wind and solar power. Just ask a South Australian, a German or a Dane (who pay the highest power prices in the world, all … Continue reading Virginia Signs Economic Suicide Note: Democrat Governor Sets ‘Heroic’ Wind Power Target
Insane Cost of Ontario’s Wind Power Obsession Killing Thousands of Manufacturing Jobs Forever
The principles of economics are not hard, nor are they a mystery. Jobs require viable businesses, viable businesses require cheap and reliable electricity.

Here’s … Continue reading Renewables Fiasco: The Astronomical Cost of Germany’s ‘Green’ Energy Failure

As SA’s vapid Premier, Jay Weatherill purrs about his $150 million Elon Musk mega-battery that will power his economic backwater for all of four minutes - when the wind stops blowing - or blows too hard - meanwhile, back on earth, South Australian businesses have watched their power costs almost triple in three years. Large-scale … Continue reading South Australia’s Wind Power Obsession Sends Business Power Costs Out of this World
Australia’s Power Crisis Generated by a Conspiracy of Incompetents
To destroy the cheapest and most reliable power supplies in the world in less than 20 years takes effort, but it can be done. Take South Australia, Australia’s so-called wind power capital as the prime example. Despite its Premier’s recent (nonsensical) claims about SA power prices plummeting, they are still the highest retail power prices … Continue reading Australia’s Power Crisis Generated by a Conspiracy of Incompetents
Guilty: Subsidised Wind & Solar Drive Australia’s Rocketing Retail Power Prices
Among the dwindling band of deluded wind and sun worshippers, no two words are more prone to send them into apoplexy than ‘South Australia’.

Wind Power Subsidy Cuts Kill Thousands of Green Jobs: Siemens Sacks 6,000 Workers
The wind industry is little more than the most recent and elaborate effort to fleece gullible investors, in a list that dates back to “corporate investment classics”, like the South-Sea Bubble and Dutch tulip mania. In the wind industry, the scam is all about pitching bogus projected returns (based on overblown wind “forecasts”) (see our posts here and here and here and here); claiming that … Continue reading Wind Power Subsidy Cuts Kill Thousands of Green Jobs: Siemens Sacks 6,000 Workers
