Make electricity unreliable and unaffordable and you’ll soon turn your economy to ashes. Australia is on the brink of a major recession, and energy costs are front and centre. Power prices will jump by 25 to 30% next month following the closure of yet another perfectly operable 2,000MW coal-fired power plant. Since the Federal Government’s … Continue reading Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Turning First World Economies Into First Order Disasters

Never Sustainable: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Just Another Failed Utopian Dream
The wind and solar ‘transition’ is being sold as Utopia - but anyone prepared to believe that will believe anything. In Germany and Britain, a growing number are starting to work it out. They’ve been lied to; they’re angry and there will be a political vengeance against those who have delivered misery of a type … Continue reading Never Sustainable: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Just Another Failed Utopian Dream
Woke Wonderland: Billionaires Determined to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Al Gore springs to mind when it comes to woke billionaires determined to wreck your living standards, while improving their very own. But there are plenty of other well-connected rent-seekers around the globe with similar insidious ambitions. As Australia blunders its way towards another Federal Election in May, a gaggle of particularly slimy crony capitalists … Continue reading Woke Wonderland: Billionaires Determined to Destroy Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Why Heavily Subsidised & Utterly Unreliable Wind & Solar Will Wreck Your Economy
The wind and solar cult will never admit it, but coal-fired power is the backbone of Australia’s electricity grid. Without it, this country would descend into Stone Age chaos in next to no time. With the announcement that another reliable coal-fired power plant will be shuttered in a few years’ time, the response from our … Continue reading Why Heavily Subsidised & Utterly Unreliable Wind & Solar Will Wreck Your Economy
Manufacturing Unemployment: Net-Zero Target Will Destroy 650,000 Australian Jobs
Net-zero carbon dioxide targets are all about giving more subsidies to unreliable wind and solar which inevitably drive power prices through the roof. Increase power prices, as with any input cost, and profits inevitably diminish. Meaningful employment depends upon healthy and sustainable profits. So, as any student of that dismal science will readily tell you, … Continue reading Manufacturing Unemployment: Net-Zero Target Will Destroy 650,000 Australian Jobs
Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
The apparent object of renewable energy targets is to make power so expensive and unreliable that eventually no one will bother to use it. At least that’s what occurred in Australia, thanks to its Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, which will redirect more than $60 billion to chaotically intermittent wind and solar over the life … Continue reading Renewable Energy Targets: Unaffordable & Unreliable Power Threatens Every Mineral Processing Job
