In a weather-dependent energy world, those lucky enough to get power when they need it are being forced to pay a king’s ransom for it. Having championed the use of tens of $billions in subsidies to destroy the coal-fired generators that gave Australia its reliable and affordable power supply, Australia’s new Federal Labor government is … Continue reading Power Price Shock: Australia’s Renewables Disaster Proves Wind & Solar Ain’t Cheap

Why Heavily Subsidised & Utterly Unreliable Wind & Solar Will Wreck Your Economy
The wind and solar cult will never admit it, but coal-fired power is the backbone of Australia’s electricity grid. Without it, this country would descend into Stone Age chaos in next to no time. With the announcement that another reliable coal-fired power plant will be shuttered in a few years’ time, the response from our … Continue reading Why Heavily Subsidised & Utterly Unreliable Wind & Solar Will Wreck Your Economy
Smug & Shameless: Exposing ‘Green’ Energy’s Dirty Slave Labour Secret
Unshackling the smug and self-righteous from the fixed and firm belief that their solar panels are saving the world, is no mean feat. The same characters also believe that the Teslas they occasionally drive to the local café and/or that they’ve strapped to their homes to capture a fraction of the six hours of solar … Continue reading Smug & Shameless: Exposing ‘Green’ Energy’s Dirty Slave Labour Secret
Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
The Sun and wind might be free, but wind and solar power are by far the most expensive power sources, of them all. Diffuse and dilute - entirely dependent on the weather (wind - in the case of wind power, and cloud cover in the case of solar) and, in solar’s case, where the Sun … Continue reading Why Intermittent Wind & Solar Are The World’s Most Expensive (Occasional) Power Sources
Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs
‘Bombs’ are designed to store and quickly release copious amounts of energy, so are the mega-batteries said to save wind and solar from their hopeless intermittency. The notion is that giant lithium-ion batteries will quell the power delivery chaos that comes with attempting to rely on wholly weather-dependent wind power and wholly sunshine-dependent solar power; … Continue reading Battery ‘Bombs’: More Giant Renewable Energy Batteries Explode in Toxic Fireballs
