The truth about the great wind power fraud
What passes for political leadership in this country is engaged in a wind and solar-fuelled economic suicide mission.

Green virtue signalling among Australia’s energy giants is now a ‘thing’. However, dig a little deeper and it’s clear that the thing is all about making money from a gullible proletariat, aided and abetted by a witless media. Fortunately, Terry McCrann isn’t among them. BHP displays suicidal tendencies in support of green policies The […]
AGL shows why power generators shouldn’t be energy retailers The Australian Judith Sloan 26 September 2017 Former senior executives of AGL must surely be shaking their heads in dismay.
