America’s resurgent prosperity is partly the product of its recent shale oil and gas revolution. From sea to shining sea, the US is awash with cheap gas; adding to its already abundant supplies of coal. With electricity prices around one third the cost paid in wind and solar obsessed Australia, anyone promoting that pair in … Continue reading US Wind Power Fraud: It’s Coal, Gas & Nuclear That Powers the Land of the Free

The BIG Lie: Energy Boffin’s Claims Australia Can Go 100% Renewable = 100% Fantasy
Renewable energy zealots talk about the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future being ‘inevitable’. Except that the only thing inevitable about running on sunshine and breezes, is grid chaos and rocketing power prices. And the reason for that can be all spelt out in a picture: see above the collective output of … Continue reading The BIG Lie: Energy Boffin’s Claims Australia Can Go 100% Renewable = 100% Fantasy
Looking for Reasons Why Wind Power Can Never Work? Here’s the Top 21

Affordable Energy Wars: Australian MPs Determined to End Subsidies to Wind & Solar
The solution to Australia’s self-inflicted energy calamity involves a battle between deluded zealots and pragmatic realists. In the former camp sits Audrey Zibelman (head of AEMO) and Kerry Schott (head of the Energy Security Board), along with a band of equally deluded fellow travellers. In the latter, it’s the 30 or so Liberal and … Continue reading Affordable Energy Wars: Australian MPs Determined to End Subsidies to Wind & Solar
Delusion & Fantasy Drives RE Advocates’ Bizarre Claims of All-Wind & Solar Powered Future
Anyone pumping wind and solar in 2018 is rightly regarded as a little ‘touched’, but those still suggesting an all wind and sun powered future are positively ‘certifiable’.

Australian Business Despairs: Renewables Obsessed Energy Minister Throws Economy to the Wolves
Australia’s Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg’s obsession with wind and solar is literally crippling his country: rocketing power prices have left tens of thousands of families powerless; and energy hungry businesses are gobsmacked at his every gormless utterance.

Wind Power Fraud: Wind Industry’s Greatest ‘Capacity’ is for Total Delusion
Those pumping wind and solar only ever talk about capacity, which is like being told that the cheque is in the mail. The kind of fantastic promise made by those who hope it never collides with reality. But, like the cheque that never arrives (and bounces when it does), promises that wind power delivers are … Continue reading Wind Power Fraud: Wind Industry’s Greatest ‘Capacity’ is for Total Delusion
Threat to Endless Subsidies Sends Australia’s Renewable Energy Companies Into Meltdown
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
Redbank Power Station’s Renaissance: Bitcoiners Sign Up to Buy Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
For power consumers searching for the cheapest and most reliable power, coal is the only answer. Crypto-currencies, like Bitcoin, have been a bonanza; not only for risk-hungry techie investors (not to mention risk-averse drug smugglers and money launderers), they’ve been a windfall for power generators - provided those generators can deliver it reliably and … Continue reading Redbank Power Station’s Renaissance: Bitcoiners Sign Up to Buy Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
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.
