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

Out to Wreck Your Economy & Punish the Poor & Vulnerable? Try Intermittent Wind & Solar
A generation or so back, the ‘green’ was a well-meaning tree-hugger. Then along came CO2 gas which resulted in a new shade of ‘green’. Gone was any vestige of human empathy, let alone compassion, both replaced by a maniacal belief that humans are literally ‘cockroaches’, devouring planet Earth. Instead of hoping to improve the environment … Continue reading Out to Wreck Your Economy & Punish the Poor & Vulnerable? Try Intermittent Wind & Solar
Businesses & Families Despair Over Rocketing Power Prices: Energy Minister in Fantasy-land
Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity was caused by lunatics obsessed with wind and solar power: trouble is, they’re still in charge. The Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg demonstrates an astonishing lack of insight into the obvious cause and consequences of the debacle (further examples of which appear in the Alan Jones interview, laid out below). … Continue reading Businesses & Families Despair Over Rocketing Power Prices: Energy Minister in Fantasy-land
Zero Sum Game: Wind Power Always Needs Gas, But Gas Can Always Go It Alone
Wind power is like that annoying tight-wad cousin who stays for a week, drinks your beer fridge dry and then leaves in the dead of night. We’re constantly told that the ‘transition’ to wind power is inevitable. But, in the same breath, we are also told that, at least for a while, it will need … Continue reading Zero Sum Game: Wind Power Always Needs Gas, But Gas Can Always Go It Alone
Renewables Rip-Off: Despite $4 Billion in Annual Subsidies, Wind & Solar Delivers a Trivial 2% of Australia’s Power Demand
In any bargain, those stumping up their own cash, tend to ask what they’re getting in return. When it comes to the billions in subsidies thrown at windmills and solar panels, the answer is: not much. 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. From the moment he took up … Continue reading Energy Minister Dumbstruck as Renewable Energy Calamity Crushes Australian Businesses & Families
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
Renewables Reckoning: Close Coal-Fired Power Plants & Watch Power Prices Rocket
Adding massively subsidised and chaotically delivered wind and solar to a power grid is guaranteed to send power prices through the roof (see above). Witness a little economic backwater called South Australia which - due to a maniacal obsession with sunshine and breezes - suffers the highest retail power prices in the world, routine load … Continue reading Renewables Reckoning: Close Coal-Fired Power Plants & Watch Power Prices Rocket
Economic Fantasy: Battery ‘Solution’ to Intermittent Wind & Solar Would Cost $Trillions
It took the proletariat a nanosecond to work out that wind power cannot, and will never, work as a meaningful power generation source. Graphs like the one above - depicting the entire output of every wind turbine connected to Australia’s Eastern Grid (spread across four states, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia) - quickly gave … Continue reading Economic Fantasy: Battery ‘Solution’ to Intermittent Wind & Solar Would Cost $Trillions
Dog-Ate-My-Homework ‘Defence’: Wind Industry Blames Poor ‘Performance’ on the Weather
As Australia’s Energy Minister’s gathered for a panicked attempt to keep the subsidised renewable energy scam rolling for just that bit longer, the Wind Gods conspired to deflate their pumped-up rhetoric about Australia’s ‘inevitable transition’ to nature’s wonder fuels: sunshine and breezes. What’s depicted above, courtesy of Aneroid Energy, is the output from every wind … Continue reading Dog-Ate-My-Homework ‘Defence’: Wind Industry Blames Poor ‘Performance’ on the Weather
