Wind and solar power were both founded on lies and myth, and can only exist when and where massive subsidies are practically perpetual. Now that it’s become impossible for them to hide the obvious relationship between intermittent wind and solar and rocketing power prices and grid instability, the pleading to maintain the subsidies that sustain them, … Continue reading Threat to Endless Subsidies Sends Australia’s Renewable Energy Companies Into Meltdown

Renewables Rent-Seeker Round-Up: Time to Shame the Bad, the Worse & the Ugly
The next generation of Australians will be eager to string up those responsible for turning an energy superpower into an international joke. Coal, gas and uranium rich Australia shouldn’t be paying the highest power prices in the world; and it shouldn’t be cutting power to businesses and hospitals during hot weather, when demand spikes and … Continue reading Renewables Rent-Seeker Round-Up: Time to Shame the Bad, the Worse & the Ugly
Chaos Reigns Supreme: Erratic Wind and Solar Destroy Australia’s Once Reliable Power Grid
The natural result of plugging into wind and solar power is absolute chaos. It’s like inviting the Hells Angels to your daughter’s 21st birthday party and not expecting mayhem. Those that kid themselves otherwise, fall into roughly 2 camps: dreamy, eco-zealots, happy to ignore everything the real world throws at them (especially facts antithetical … Continue reading Chaos Reigns Supreme: Erratic Wind and Solar Destroy Australia’s Once Reliable Power Grid
Renewables Rip-Off: Despite $4 Billion in Annual Subsidies, Wind & Solar Delivers a Trivial 2% of Australia’s Power Demand

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.

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
Economic Mercy Mission: Monash Forum’s Drive for Reliable & Affordable Power Gets Steamed-Up
Coal powers Australia: not sunshine, not breezes and, if you’re told otherwise, you’re being conned. So, keeping big base-load power generators in the game matters. That’s if you’re concerned about having power available 24 x 365 at prices that both businesses and households can afford. It’s that simple metric that has motivated the Monash … Continue reading Economic Mercy Mission: Monash Forum’s Drive for Reliable & Affordable Power Gets Steamed-Up
Atomic Reaction: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Prompts Push for Nuclear Power
If CO2 gas really is the existential threat it’s made out to be, then nuclear power is the only solution. That’s if you want to provide reliable and affordable electricity to all comers, rather than destroying businesses and punishing households? In 2018, with debacles like wind ‘powered’ Germany, South Australia and Victoria on show, for … Continue reading Atomic Reaction: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Prompts Push for Nuclear Power
Monash Forum: Rattles Renewables Rent Seekers with Threat to Endless Subsidies
In a little over 15 years, Australia has gone from an energy superpower to an international joke. Power prices are rocketing, and its Eastern Grid is on the brink of collapse. All for the sake of a pointless, ideological obsession with wind and solar power. Thankfully, a solid rump of 30 Liberal and National … Continue reading Monash Forum: Rattles Renewables Rent Seekers with Threat to Endless Subsidies
Wind Power Collapses Send Power Prices Into Orbit in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia
Wind power outfits often claim that their particular operation ‘powers’ 30,000 homes; RE zealots even claim that South Australians get 50% of their power from the sun and wind. Whacked with the obvious retort of ‘when?’, the wind cultist changes tack and starts mumbling about mega-batteries (non-existent and insanely costly), pumped hydro (non-existent and costly) … Continue reading Wind Power Collapses Send Power Prices Into Orbit in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia
