Suicide Pact: Subsidised Wind & Solar Designed to Wreck First World Economies
One of China’s principal strengths is its ability to harness cheap and reliable nuclear and coal-fired power. Contrast that with Australia’s energy policies deliberately hostile to coal and nuclear power, and it’s hard not to conclude that our political betters are in cahoots with the CCP. The Roman Empire didn’t collapse because the barbarians to … Continue reading Suicide Pact: Subsidised Wind & Solar Designed to Wreck First World Economies

Nothing Sustainable About Wind & Solar Power Generation – Except Massive Government Subsidies
After 30 years of operation, enterprises that would collapse overnight without massive subsidies ain’t “industries” - which is what wind and large-scale solar outfits spuriously claim to be.
