Enduring frigid weather in unheated homes is one of the biggest killers of the elderly. Thanks to an obsession with heavily subsidised, unreliable and expensive wind and solar, the poor and vulnerable drop like flies every winter. That hundreds of thousands of households are suffering energy poverty in what was once the World Power is … Continue reading S-O-S: If COVID-19 Doesn’t Kill Your Granny, Energy Poverty Will

Suicide Squad: Green Energy ‘Experts’ Destroyed Australia’s Reliable & Affordable Power Supply
Australia’s suicidal energy policies are the product of a squad of rent-seekers masquerading as energy ‘experts’. These sanctimonious windbags all carry PhD’s in spending other people’s money, and all graduated from the University of Endless Subsidies. The Federal Government has to share its responsibility for the debacle; it started it, after all. But, every time … Continue reading Suicide Squad: Green Energy ‘Experts’ Destroyed Australia’s Reliable & Affordable Power Supply
Grow Up Now: America Tells Australia to Get With The Program & Go Nuclear
The USA, the world’s largest nuclear power generator, has 99 nuclear power reactors in 30 states, operated by 30 different power companies, and in 2016 they produced 805 TWh. Since 2001 these plants have achieved an average capacity factor of over 90%, generating up to 807 TWh per year and accounting for about 20% of total electricity … Continue reading Grow Up Now: America Tells Australia to Get With The Program & Go Nuclear
Post Modern Power: Scots Face Whopping Bill For Government’s Wind Power Obsession
Scotland’s energy policy was hijacked by lunatics and the canny Scot, renowned for their parsimony, is paying a very heavy price, indeed. The subsidies paid to wind power outfits have been colossal; and all that state-mandated largess is being tacked onto Scottish power bills and/or picked up by taxpayers, south of the border. One of … Continue reading Post Modern Power: Scots Face Whopping Bill For Government’s Wind Power Obsession
Last Gasp: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Leaves Australian Economy On Life Support
The coronavirus is hitting Australia’s economy, but it will pass; whereas, its self-inflicted renewable energy calamity is here to stay. Where the former was unforeseen and fatal for a few, the latter was perfectly predictable and will have calamitous effects for the many, and for generations to come. What’s left of Australia’s manufacturing and mineral … Continue reading Last Gasp: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Leaves Australian Economy On Life Support
Crazytown: German Professor’s Solution to Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency: More Wind & Solar!
Our good friends, logic and reason have taken a pounding from wind and solar obsessed renewable energy rent seekers and zealots over the years. For the best part of 20 years, they’ve been trying to convince us that wind and solar are reliable, affordable and as safe as houses. If you’re looking for a singular … Continue reading Crazytown: German Professor’s Solution to Wind & Solar’s Hopeless Intermittency: More Wind & Solar!
‘Green’ Energy Rip-Off: Consumers Paying Double For Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Sunset and calm weather mean wind and solar can and will never replace conventional power generators. By ‘conventional’ we mean coal, gas, nuclear and, where geography and geology permit, stored hydro and geothermal power. Show a picture like the one above – the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (with … Continue reading ‘Green’ Energy Rip-Off: Consumers Paying Double For Intermittent Wind & Solar Power
Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Virtue signalling with heavily subsidised and hopelessly intermittent wind and solar power comes with a staggering cost. Ask a virtue signalling victim from Germany, Denmark or South Australia where wind and solar obsessions have left them paying world’s highest power prices. Like the aforementioned, Ontario is another place where ideologues destroyed a perfectly reliable and … Continue reading Rotten Bill: Ontarians Count Staggering & Mounting Cost of ‘Green’ Energy Obsession
Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Power prices have rocketed and businesses and whole industries are under threat, thanks to a political obsession with intermittent wind and solar. And their unreliable and chaotic delivery also threatens to destroy the power grid that connects Australia’s Eastern States. If Australia was looking to de-industrialise, then squandering $60,000,000,000 in subsidies to wind and … Continue reading Mission Possible: Building New Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Hope for Industry & Decent Jobs
Frozen: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Into Power Pricing & Supply Disaster
Because RE zealots crowed about Germany’s ‘inevitable transition’ to wind and solar from the outset, it’s no surprise that its disastrous conclusion is attracting attention, much like a freeway pileup. Germany’s so-called Energiewende (energy transition) has turned into a power pricing and supply calamity. Which was as perfectly predictable as it was perfectly avoidable. Jonathan … Continue reading Frozen: Germany’s Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turns Into Power Pricing & Supply Disaster
