South Australians suffer the world’s highest power prices because they rely on heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind & solar. It’s a relationship for which the economic backwater has become world renowned. Along with its notoriety as a (notionally) first world economy with a third world power supply. If you’re looking to attack the infantile … Continue reading South Australia’s 50% Renewable Energy Fail: World’s Highest Power Prices Caused by Subsidised Wind & Solar

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.

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
Atomic Reaction: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Prompts Push for Nuclear Power
If CO2 gas really is the existential threat it’s made out to be, then nuclear power is the only solution. That’s if you want to provide reliable and affordable electricity to all comers, rather than destroying businesses and punishing households? In 2018, with debacles like wind ‘powered’ Germany, South Australia and Victoria on show, for … Continue reading Atomic Reaction: Australia’s Renewable Energy Debacle Prompts Push for Nuclear Power
Dunce School: Electricity Generation 101 for the Wind & Sun Worshipper
It takes a special brand of ignorance to still believe that the world can run on sunshine and breezes. Whether you blame a breakdown in the education system or a Trotskyite takeover of the mainstream media, the results are the same: there’s a stubborn rump who continue to turn fantasy into ‘fact’; who are incapable … Continue reading Dunce School: Electricity Generation 101 for the Wind & Sun Worshipper
Wind Power Collapses Send Power Prices Into Orbit in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia
Wind power outfits often claim that their particular operation ‘powers’ 30,000 homes; RE zealots even claim that South Australians get 50% of their power from the sun and wind. Whacked with the obvious retort of ‘when?’, the wind cultist changes tack and starts mumbling about mega-batteries (non-existent and insanely costly), pumped hydro (non-existent and costly) … Continue reading Wind Power Collapses Send Power Prices Into Orbit in Wind ‘Powered’ South Australia
Reliable Power Play: Monash Forum Australia’s Last Best Hope for Sensible Energy Policy
Australia’s mainstream media occupy a fact and consequence free zone, where the sun always shines and the wind always blows. How else can their cult-like veneration of wind and solar power be explained? With a growing group of National and Liberal MPs joining the Monash Forum, and dictating the terms about Australia’s energy future, … Continue reading Reliable Power Play: Monash Forum Australia’s Last Best Hope for Sensible Energy Policy
