Hubris drives the so-called wind and solar ‘transition’, which now depends upon the myth of giant batteries compensating for the vagaries of the weather and sunset. These mythical batteries come in all shapes and sizes and with enough added hyperbole have grown to include the entire island state of Tasmania.

Propaganda Unplugged: Claims Tasmania’s Power Supply 100% Renewable = 100% Fake News
Tasmania’s recent announcement that it is being powered 100% of the time by renewable energy is so much fake news.

Fake News: Tasmania’s 200% Renewable Energy Vanity Project, 100% Dependent on Coal-Fired Power from Victoria
The renewable energy zealot is all care and no responsibility.

‘Green’ Insanity: Why Chaotic Wind & Solar Are No Answer to World’s Woes
Suddenly, the Australian press are treating wind power with the contempt it deserves, due to an about-face by former Greens leader, Bob Brown. True it is you won’t hear Dr Bob explaining why heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind power is a meaningless power source.

Licenced to Kill: Government Endorses Wind Industry’s Rampant Eagle Slaughter
When it comes to killing majestic raptors, ‘green’ hypocrisy is the new black. Apex avian predators are top of the food chain for 60 m wind turbine blades with their outer tips travelling at over 350 Kph. RE zealots seem untroubled by the carnage.
