Alcoholics call it a ‘moment of clarity’. In wind powered South Australia and Victoria, hitherto fans of renewables call it a ‘mass blackout’. In 1919, after Engineer/Soldier, Sir John Monash returned to his home town of Melbourne from the Western Front, to a hero’s welcome, he set about establishing an electricity grid that would serve … Continue reading Blackout Nation: Insane ‘Reliance’ on Wind Power Delivers Pure Power Chaos

The Staggering Cost of Keeping the Lights on in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia
South Australians have a Labor government and its deranged, ideological obsession with wind and solar power to thank for their status as an international joke.

Renewables Reckoning: Power Prices Double in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia & Victoria, in Just 12 Months
One inevitable consequence of shackling your economy to intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar power is rocketing power prices.

Lunatics Paradise: Australia’s Renewables Fiasco Like Living in a Madhouse
Australia’s impoverished power consumers looking to their political leaders for solutions and/or respite can expect no relief.

A deluded band of eco-Nazis keep telling us that rocketing power prices and unstable grids are just minor ‘teething problems’ on our way to an inevitable ‘transition’ to a brave new world run entirely on sunshine and breezes. The trouble is that with every turn of this Blue Planet the inevitable consequences of their obsession … Continue reading ‘Transition’ to Wind & Solar Sends German Power Prices Into Orbit: 328,000 Families Chopped from Grid
Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia Pays $14,000 per MWh for Power that Coal-Fired Plants Can Deliver for $50
The cost of accommodating the chaos delivered by wind power is utterly staggering. And provides half the explanation as to why South Australia, Australia’s 'wind power capital' and the world's 'renewables leader', pays the highest retail power prices in the world.

Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark
In their more deluded moments, wind and sun worshippers claim that, if only fossil fuel guzzling, climate-deniers would shrivel up and die, nature’s ‘wonder fuels’ could easily provide 100% of everybody’s energy needs, now and until kingdom come - and do so absolutely free. Meanwhile, back on Earth, even on their best days, the contribution … Continue reading Ready to Rely on Wind & Solar For Your Power? Then Get Ready to Freeze or Boil in the Dark
Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
Way back in 1984, wind cultist Christopher Flavin’s told us that “in a few years’ time wind energy will not need to be subsidised.” 34 years on, the subsidies just keep on flowing and, without those subsidies, the so called wind 'industry' would disappear like a snowflake in summer. No matter where they ply … Continue reading Addicted to Other People’s Money: Wind Industry Howls Whenever Its Massive Subsidy Stream Threatened
