*** In Australia’s so-called wind power capital, South Australia, its hapless Labor government is crowing about having reached its ludicrous 50% renewable energy target. However, the cost of that vanity project is crippling what remains of South Australia’s productive enterprise. In our recent post - Economic Carnage: SA’s Rocketing Power Prices Crippling Miners, Bakers & … Continue reading South Australia’s Ridiculous Wind Power Push Driving Business to Bankruptcy: Power Prices Triple (Again)

Aboriginal Leader, Warren Mundine Demands End to the Madness: Australia’s Renewable Policy Punishing the Poorest & Most Vulnerable
A few weeks back we reported on a very timely call by an Australian Aboriginal leader, Warren Mundine for Australians to grow up and go Nuclear. Warren isn't about to let up. Clearly worried about the miserable future being laid out for the poorest and most vulnerable Australians, Warren is, quite rightly, demanding an end … Continue reading Aboriginal Leader, Warren Mundine Demands End to the Madness: Australia’s Renewable Policy Punishing the Poorest & Most Vulnerable
SA’s Wind Farms Guilty: 28 September ‘Black System’ Caused by Wind Power Output Collapse
*** Whichever way you slice it (and it's been cut from every possibly exculpatory angle), South Australia's infamous Statewide blackout on 28 September 2016 was due to the inability of its 18 wind farms to tough out a typically vigorous spring storm front. Where conventional generators have no difficulty chugging away in bad weather, 'systems' … Continue reading SA’s Wind Farms Guilty: 28 September ‘Black System’ Caused by Wind Power Output Collapse
Australia’s Energy Crisis: Hazelwood Closure Means Higher Prices & More Blackouts
The Federal Large-Scale RET has just claimed another scalp in the shape of 1,600MW of reliable base-load plant at Hazelwood, Victoria – as well as more than 1,000 well-paid blue-collar jobs and an entire regional community. That loss follows hot on the heels of the breathtakingly stupid decision by South Australia’s hapless Labor government to … Continue reading Australia’s Energy Crisis: Hazelwood Closure Means Higher Prices & More Blackouts
SA’s Deluded Labor Government Warned Wind Power Push Would Wreck its Grid Way Back in 2009
*** Desperate, delusional and in denial, South Australia’s hapless Labor government is taking a well-deserved flogging in the press. SA, the so-called ‘wind power capital’, instead of setting an example of how to run on sunshine and breezes, has become an international laughing stock. Rocketing prices, repeated statewide blackouts and mass load shedding have made … Continue reading SA’s Deluded Labor Government Warned Wind Power Push Would Wreck its Grid Way Back in 2009
Turnbull Plays ‘The Man from Snowy River’ in Uncosted Pumped Hydro Plan
Hardly renowned for his political masterstrokes, Malcolm Turnbull has just drenched the opposition with his Snowy 2.0 plan. The Snowy Hydro Scheme is – without doubt – the single greatest renewable energy project ever built in Australia – with a mammoth 3,950 MW of capacity, which is available on-demand (unlike the infantile nonsense that is wind … Continue reading Turnbull Plays ‘The Man from Snowy River’ in Uncosted Pumped Hydro Plan
Elephant in the Room: Australia’s Renewable Energy Target the Cause of an Energy Calamity
Australia's energy crisis is all self-inflicted and largely down to the scaremongering waged by global warming catastrophists. A rolling jumble of false premises and false promises, the frenzied and ill-thought-out reaction to the 'threat' posed by CO2 gas has all but destroyed Australia's once natural advantage of having abundant, cheap and reliable energy. Here's The … Continue reading Elephant in the Room: Australia’s Renewable Energy Target the Cause of an Energy Calamity
Australian Wind Lobby Joins Massive Opposition to Threatened Jupiter Wind Farm
*** Nothing generates more hatred and bitter community division than a wind farm. While all eyes are on Australia's brewing energy catastrophe and the Large-Scale RET that caused it, it's easy to forget that the battle against the great wind power fraud is still being fought town by town and community by community, in the … Continue reading Australian Wind Lobby Joins Massive Opposition to Threatened Jupiter Wind Farm
Renewables Revolt: Australians Refuse to Pay One Cent More for Wind & Solar
Among the mantras that feature in wind industry propaganda is the line about Australians being all in favour of renewable energy. That may well be. However, the wind cult are having a hard time convincing the thousands of South Australians who are often left sitting freezing or boiling in the dark - whenever wind power … Continue reading Renewables Revolt: Australians Refuse to Pay One Cent More for Wind & Solar
Reality Bites: ‘Green’ Dreamers Struggling to Spin Away South Australia’s Failed Wind Power Experiment
*** It's been barely 5 months since South Australia experienced a state wide blackout on 28 September, when a typically vigorous spring storm delivered wind speeds in excess of 90km/h, causing the majority of turbines operating at its 18 wind farms to automatically shutdown to avoid self-destruction. The ensuing collapse in wind power output overloaded … Continue reading Reality Bites: ‘Green’ Dreamers Struggling to Spin Away South Australia’s Failed Wind Power Experiment
