It’s said you shouldn’t assume conspiracy, until you’ve ruled out incompetence. Australia’s energy debacle is, however, a mixture of both. In Mike Judge’s off-the-wall, futuristic comedy, ‘Idiocracy’, lunatics not only take over the asylum, they end up running the United States - into the ground. Starting on the premise that morons began out-breeding the vaguely … Continue reading Energy Idiocracy: How Australia’s Power ‘Policy’ Was Hijacked and Destroyed by Idiots

Giant Renewable Energy Debacle Demands Even Bigger Lies: Boffins Claim More Wind & Solar Guaranteed to Cut Power Prices
Efforts by RE zealots to maintain control of Australia’s energy policy have turned to high farce. Working on the adage that the bigger the lie, the more often that it’s told, the more people are likely to believe it, the AEMO’s Audrey Zibelman and the Energy Security Board’s Kerry Schott have decided to take reality, … Continue reading Giant Renewable Energy Debacle Demands Even Bigger Lies: Boffins Claim More Wind & Solar Guaranteed to Cut Power Prices
World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
The point, if there was one, of throwing hundreds of $billions in subsidies at wind and solar was to slash emissions of carbon dioxide gas. Taxpayers and power consumers who are on the receiving end of the bill for all this environmental piety would, after almost 20 years, be entitled to ask just how much … Continue reading World’s Most Expensive Joke: $2 Trillion Squandered on Wind & Solar (So Far)…
Wind & Solar’s Mega-Cost Delivers Mega-Failure: RE Supplying Less than 1% During Peak Demand
If you live in Australia, and you’re reading this post, you’re doing so thanks to coal. If you don’t like it, shut your device down now. The electricity that's powering it, your home, the internet, etc, etc isn’t coming from sunshine and breezes. It's coming from a coal-fired power plant. So, deal with it! Over … Continue reading Wind & Solar’s Mega-Cost Delivers Mega-Failure: RE Supplying Less than 1% During Peak Demand
Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Demands End to Wind & Solar Subsidies
What’s missing from Australia’s self-inflicted energy crisis, is reason and common sense. When you’ve dug yourself into a hole, the first remedial action is to stop digging. Instead, Australia has a PM, Malcolm Turnbull and an Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg, determined to wreck every last vestige of productive industry and enterprise in this country, while … Continue reading Crunch Time: Australia’s Self-Inflicted Energy Crisis Demands End to Wind & Solar Subsidies
Adding Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Spiralling Power Prices: Just Ask South Australians
Australia’s Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg reckons adding more wind and solar will cut power prices, like South Australia never happened. In his efforts to sell his National Energy Guarantee, Frydenberg and his coterie of ‘expert’ advisors have not only ignored reality, they’ve attempted to substitute it with their very own. Over the last decade, there … Continue reading Adding Intermittent Wind & Solar Guarantees Spiralling Power Prices: Just Ask South Australians
Descent Into Chaos: Australia’s Renewable Energy Policies Implode As Power Prices Rocket Out of Control
Blind panic doesn’t cover it: Australia’s energy crisis has MPs and rent-seekers running around like chooks with their heads cut off. Retail power prices (see above) have jumped anywhere between 20 and 28% in the last 12 months, in those states with major wind and solar capacity – adding to 13-20% increases, the previous year. Energy … Continue reading Descent Into Chaos: Australia’s Renewable Energy Policies Implode As Power Prices Rocket Out of Control
Rent-Seeker’s Nirvana: Ultra-Rich Pocket $Billions in Wind & Solar Subsidies at Our Expense
The hundreds of $billions paid in subsidies to intermittent wind and solar constitute the largest wealth transfer in economic history. In Australia, the Federal Government’s Large-Scale RET gouges $60 billion from power consumers over the life of the scam, and redirects it to such worthy outfits as AGL and our favourite whipping boys, Infigen. In the … Continue reading Rent-Seeker’s Nirvana: Ultra-Rich Pocket $Billions in Wind & Solar Subsidies at Our Expense
Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Australian Power Prices Through the Roof
Power prices matter: and they matter most to society’s poorest and most vulnerable. In less than a dozen years, Australia went from enjoying the cheapest power in the world, to suffering the world’s most expensive. In the last three years power prices have risen at double-digit rates: 20 to 24% last year and 13 to … Continue reading Subsidised Wind & Solar Driving Australian Power Prices Through the Roof
Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
Business operators have just worked out that Australia’s renewable energy policies are deliberately designed to destroy them. Concepts such as ‘demand management’ (state-ordered deliberate blackouts) are the natural result of seeking to run an entire economy on sunshine and breezes. This country wouldn’t be debating Josh Frydenberg’s National Energy Guarantee, the Australian Competition & Consumer … Continue reading Energy Minister Under Siege: Australian Businesses Refuse to Shut Down During Wind Power Collapses
