Industrial Scale Battery Storage of Wind & Solar Would Cause Surge in CO2 Emissions
Californian carpet-bagger, Elon Musk has been threatening South Australia with a plan to scoop up at least $150 million of the $550 million its hapless Labor government is about to squander on non-fixes for its self-inflicted wind power disaster. So no time like the present to reflect on just how 'green' is SA's plan to … Continue reading Industrial Scale Battery Storage of Wind & Solar Would Cause Surge in CO2 Emissions
Donald Trump’s War On Wind Power: Wind Industry Panics as Republicans Plan to Slash Subsidies

Australia’s Renewable Policy Destroying Jobs: Miners Facing Power Price & Supply Crisis
Australia's enviable prosperity isn't due to sunshine and breezes, it's down to iron ore, coal and a bevy of other minerals including copper and uranium of the kind being gouged out of the ground by BHP Billiton at Roxby Downs in South Australia's North (see above). How long Australia maintains its wealth is down to … Continue reading Australia’s Renewable Policy Destroying Jobs: Miners Facing Power Price & Supply Crisis
Greeks Rally Against Subsidised Wind Power & Wind Industry’s Unlawful Land Grabs

Another claim worth crowing about is their ‘get-your-hands-dirty’ take on democracy, … Continue reading Greeks Rally Against Subsidised Wind Power & Wind Industry’s Unlawful Land Grabs

Australians Duped by Constant Green Washing: Renewables Ain’t Cheap & Ain’t Reliable
The one thing we have to hand it to the wind and solar industry is how they've been able to convince so many, for so long about the 'wonders' of their massively subsidised, skittish wares. As Mark Twain put it: “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” Getting the … Continue reading Australians Duped by Constant Green Washing: Renewables Ain’t Cheap & Ain’t Reliable
