Neighbourhood Theft: Why Your Neighbour’s Solar Panels Are Costing You a Fortune
Electricity generation started off as an extension of science. These days, it’s all about vanity and virtue signalling.

Bill Shorten’s ALP: Loves Subsidising Chaotic Wind & Solar/Hates Real Industry & Real Jobs
Australia was once an energy superpower, supporting mining, mineral processing, manufacturing and energy-intensive agriculture (think irrigators, dairies, aquaculture and horticulture). Pretty soon, if Bill Shorten’s Labor Party gets anywhere near the controls, power prices will be driven to astronomical levels and those industries driven out of existence. Hundreds of thousands of well-paid, meaningful jobs … Continue reading Bill Shorten’s ALP: Loves Subsidising Chaotic Wind & Solar/Hates Real Industry & Real Jobs

As … Continue reading Labor Lunacy: Industry Wipeout Looms as Bill Shorten Doubles-down on Wind & Solar Insanity
Dark Ages Deliverance: Australia’s Energy Minister Contracts Coal-Fired Power to Avoid More Mass Blackouts
Intermittent wind and solar guarantee power supply chaos and are a recipe for mass load shedding and blackouts: ask South Australians.

Dubbed the “Minister for reducing electricity prices”, Angus Taylor’s biggest battle will be keeping the lights on this summer, and beyond. When Taylor took up the role of Federal Energy Minister in September, he inherited a toxic cocktail of renewable energy policies - the product of both Federal and State governments.

Battered Power Consumers Cry Mercy as Climate Cult Ramps Up Renewables Rhetoric
Wind and solar power have never been about logic and reason, it’s a deranged form of ideology that drives their promoters. The zealots that promote that pathetic pair are screaming blue murder, as the political tide turns against them. The rhetoric gets ramped up, even as reality bites.

Powering Australia: Keeping the Lights On Means Coal-Fired Power For Generations to Come
Australia is in the process of destroying what was the world’s most reliable and affordable power supply.

Game Over: Australia’s Energy Minister Slams Chaos Delivered by Subsidised Wind & Solar
The reason Australia’s renewable energy rent seekers are suicidal has a name: Angus Taylor. The Federal Energy Minister hates subsidised wind and solar with a passion.

Last week, Taylor appeared … Continue reading Game Over: Australia’s Energy Minister Slams Chaos Delivered by Subsidised Wind & Solar
