When RE zealots talk about the ‘transition’ to wind and solar, they never specify when. They say it’s ‘inevitable’, but always kick the can down the road when pressed about precisely when we’ll all be powered by nothing but sunshine and breezes. Perhaps it’s got something to do with sunset? Or maybe even the weather? … Continue reading Summer Holiday-Hell: Power Consumers Face Staggering Bill Whenever Wind Power Goes AWOL

Dark Ages Deliverance: Australia’s Energy Minister Contracts Coal-Fired Power to Avoid More Mass Blackouts
Intermittent wind and solar guarantee power supply chaos and are a recipe for mass load shedding and blackouts: ask South Australians. While the Federal Energy Minister, Angus Taylor’s public focus has been on reducing power prices, in reality his ‘mission-critical’ is ensuring that there is enough reliable electricity generating capacity in the system to prevent … Continue reading Dark Ages Deliverance: Australia’s Energy Minister Contracts Coal-Fired Power to Avoid More Mass Blackouts
Australia’s Power Crisis Crossroads: Energy Minister Battles to Keep the Lights On
Dubbed the “Minister for reducing electricity prices”, Angus Taylor’s biggest battle will be keeping the lights on this summer, and beyond. When Taylor took up the role of Federal Energy Minister in September, he inherited a toxic cocktail of renewable energy policies - the product of both Federal and State governments. The Mother of them … Continue reading Australia’s Power Crisis Crossroads: Energy Minister Battles to Keep the Lights On
Breakout the Candles: Chaotic Wind & Solar Mean More Mass Summertime Blackouts
The chaotic delivery of wind and solar has left Australia’s Eastern Grid on the brink of collapse. The Eastern Grid connects Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Reliable coal-fired generators have been knocked out of the game, made uneconomic thanks to renewable energy policies that direct more than $3 billion a … Continue reading Breakout the Candles: Chaotic Wind & Solar Mean More Mass Summertime Blackouts
Rural Communities Revolt: Opposition to Wind Power Grows as WHO Deems Wind Turbine Noise Serious Health Risk
When it comes to the threat of litigation from their victims, the wind industry has never been more nervous. In Victoria, a group of 10 plaintiffs have launched Supreme Court action against the South Gippsland Council and the owner of the Bald Hills wind farm, seeking $millions in damages for the nuisance caused by 52, … Continue reading Rural Communities Revolt: Opposition to Wind Power Grows as WHO Deems Wind Turbine Noise Serious Health Risk
No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
It won’t be long before RE zealots are forced to accept defeat: wherever you look, coal, gas, hydro and nuclear keep thrashing wind and solar. Not simply because they’re cheaper, but because they work. And when we say ‘work’ STT means delivering power when and whenever consumers need it. STT doesn’t promote coal-fired power … Continue reading No Contest: Wind & Solar Can Never Compete With Ever Reliable & Affordable Coal-Fired Power
SA Labor Government’s Wind Power Obsession Generates Crippling $815m Bill for Taxpayers
South Australians can thank their former Labor government’s obsession with wind and solar power for their status as an international joke. Paying the highest retail power prices in the world (with worse to come), routine load shedding and statewide blackouts, and a grid on the brink of collapse, is all the inevitable consequence of … Continue reading SA Labor Government’s Wind Power Obsession Generates Crippling $815m Bill for Taxpayers
French Kiss of Death: Paris Obsession Driving Australian Power Prices Through the Roof
For Australian households and businesses being crushed by out-of-control power prices the Paris Climate Agreement is a maniac’s suicide note. With nothing else to justify the $60 billion being thrown in subsidies at chaotically intermittent wind and solar, renewable energy rent seekers are clinging to the notion that the deal done in the City of … Continue reading French Kiss of Death: Paris Obsession Driving Australian Power Prices Through the Roof
Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia
South Australia is renowned for the world’s highest power prices and mass blackouts, thanks to its risible ‘reliance’ on sunshine and breezes. In Australia’s RE capital, sunset and massive, sudden and unpredictable collapses in wind power output not only result in mass load shedding (controlled blackouts), but send spot prices for power into the … Continue reading Power Surge: Weather Dependent Wind Power Means Massive Summertime Price Hike for South Australia
Marriage Meltdown: How A Love Affair With Intermittent Wind & Solar Ended In Tears
Australia’s grab bag of renewable energy policies are like a marriage made in hell. Destroying its once reliable grid and sending power prices through the roof, Federal and State Renewable Energy Targets are designed to destroy conventional generators. And, so far, they’ve done an admirable job. Australia now faces a summer of widespread blackouts and … Continue reading Marriage Meltdown: How A Love Affair With Intermittent Wind & Solar Ended In Tears
