Blackouts Beckon as Cost of Britain’s Wind Powered Energy ‘Transition’ Rockets
*** Britain went into wind power almost as fast and hard as Germany: the costs have been colossal and the effects on its power grid chaotic.

Australia’s Renewable Target Kills 2,000 Victorian Jobs at Hazelwood & Portland
*** To call what Australian politicians refer to as energy “policy” is to flatter it as involving some kind of deliberate design. As things have panned out in South Australia, and are fast panning out in neighbouring Victoria, there is only one fair description: “total chaos”.

REC Price Surge Signals Doom for Australia’s Renewable Target & its Wind Industry
When a policy is unsustainable its failure is inevitable: Australia’s Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target is just such a policy. STT has been spelling it out since December 2012.
