Following South Australia’s lead on wind and solar was never going to end well. The State that set and met its very own 50% RET is renowned for mass load shedding and Australia’s only statewide blackout. SA also suffers the world’s highest power prices. So, it should come as no surprise to Victorians that … Continue reading Victorian Vortex: Wind & Solar Obsession Guarantees Mass Summer Blackouts & Power Prices Soar (Again)

Wanna Know What’s Really Powering Australia? It Ain’t Sunshine & Breezes – It’s Coal
After almost 20 years and tens of $billions in subsidies, wind and solar’s combined contribution to Australian energy demand is risible. And that’s on average. Those pesky facts (sunset and calm weather) mean that there are hundreds of occasions each year when their combined contribution is a big fat zero. Meanwhile, back on Earth, … Continue reading Wanna Know What’s Really Powering Australia? It Ain’t Sunshine & Breezes – It’s Coal
Own Goal: Michael Moore Documentary Tackles Dark Side of Wind & Solar
Renewable energy zealots must hit the panic button when someone from their own team calls the wind and solar ‘industries’ rotten to the core. The hard green-left and so-called “progressives” take as an article of faith that those among them will worship wind and solar until kingdom come. So, when one of their own starts … Continue reading Own Goal: Michael Moore Documentary Tackles Dark Side of Wind & Solar
Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Squandering other people’s money is what the wind and solar industries do best. Let’s face it, they wouldn’t exist without massive and endless subsidies. The chaotic power they occasionally produce has no commercial value and as Warren Buffett put it “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the … Continue reading Subsidy Farming: Wind Power Could Never Make a Profit Without Massive Subsidies
Solar Eclipsed: Renewable Energy Investors Fret as Share Price Plummets
The hopes of renewable energy investors depend on subsidies to wind and solar lasting forever. Sadly, for those with skin in the game, the longevity of the subsidies, targets, mandates, penalties and fines - that make intermittent wind and solar profitable - are limited. The idea was, of course, that after a decade or so … Continue reading Solar Eclipsed: Renewable Energy Investors Fret as Share Price Plummets
100% Ruinable: Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal Would Cost Americans $4.5 Trillion
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘New Green Deal’ heralds a new Dark Ages nightmare. Although, in fairness to the original pixie dream girl, the notion that the world’s leading energy consumer can operate entirely on sunshine and breezes is an utter fantasy. Ocasio-Cortez and her clueless acolytes run the line that because the sun and wind are … Continue reading 100% Ruinable: Democrat’s New ‘Green’ Deal Would Cost Americans $4.5 Trillion
Red Faces: Mainstream Journos Quietly Drop Support For Intermittent Wind & Solar
Often wrong, never in doubt, the mainstream press is responsible for the idea that we’re well on our way to an all wind and sun powered future. The need for massive and endless subsidies is ignored; and the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar, brushed aside with waffle about mega-batteries saving the day. The mainstream … Continue reading Red Faces: Mainstream Journos Quietly Drop Support For Intermittent Wind & Solar
Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory
The ‘shock’ Federal election result has left RE energy rent seekers reeling. What was meant to be a Green/Labor landslide - with the promise that subsidies to wind and solar would double and be extended until kingdom come - returned not only the Liberal/National Coalition to power, but left the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor … Continue reading Crunch Time: Australia’s Renewable Energy Rent-Seekers Suicidal After Coalition Victory
Beggaring Belief: No Sensible German Believes in Wind & Solar ‘Transition’, Anymore
Mainstream media have gone quiet on Germany’s ‘inevitable’ transition to an all wind and sun powered future. The debacle that’s playing out in Deutschland apparently doesn’t suit their narrative, anymore. It’s like kids hanging onto the belief that Santa Claus is real, long after they've tumbled to the fact that it's their fat Uncle … Continue reading Beggaring Belief: No Sensible German Believes in Wind & Solar ‘Transition’, Anymore
Blown Away: Australians Reject Labor’s 50% RET & Plans for Giant Wind & Solar Roll-out
Bill Shorten’ 45% CO2 emissions reduction target and his 50% Renewable Energy Target was meant to deliver a Labor landslide. It didn’t. Bill Shorten and his acolytes believed that Australian voters would flock to his grand - ‘save the planet’ - plans for sunshine and breezes. Their propaganda wing, GetUp! made it seem like … Continue reading Blown Away: Australians Reject Labor’s 50% RET & Plans for Giant Wind & Solar Roll-out
