Just as Europe reverses course on its wind and solar-powered energy calamity, in Australia, the lunatics in charge of the asylum are determined to double down and destroy what remains of this country’s once reliable and affordable power supplies. With policies directed at wiping reliable coal-fired power plants off the map and rewarding the unreliables … Continue reading Australia’s Total Wind & Solar Push – Nothing Short of Total Insanity

No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises
Any increase in dependence on intermittent wind and solar guarantees ever-increasing power prices. In Australia, that trend was set in 2010, following a massive expansion in the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target, brought in under then Labor PM, Kevin Rudd. The cost to consumers was always going to be colossal; what the energy boffins didn’t … Continue reading No End In Sight: ‘Renewables’ Fixation Keeps Delivering Double-Digit Power Price Rises
Clown Factor: Trying to Explain Our Idiotic and Self-Destructive Wind & Solar Obsession
Remember the class clown? The idiot who couldn’t help himself, always in trouble and too witless to know why. Well, he’s now firmly in charge of energy policy, which in its design and implementation resembles the chaos of a mismanaged three-ringed circus. As the adage goes, don’t put down to conspiracy what can be chalked … Continue reading Clown Factor: Trying to Explain Our Idiotic and Self-Destructive Wind & Solar Obsession
Real Nowhere Plan: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Already Doomed to Total Failure
Sound engineering, not ideology sits at the heart of our reliable and affordable power supplies. However, in the veritable blink of an eye, engineers have been given the flick, so too, our good friends logic and reason. Australia might register as geographically significant and claims to be a world player, but still retains the mentality … Continue reading Real Nowhere Plan: Grand Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Already Doomed to Total Failure
Wind & Solar Wipeout: Reliable & Affordable Power Now Part of Ancient History
Pretty soon, the notion of having affordable power available on demand will be ancient history. Never before in the course of human existence have so few done so much damage to so many. Electricity prices are spiralling out of control in any place attempting to run on sunshine and breezes, power rationing (aka ‘demand management’) … Continue reading Wind & Solar Wipeout: Reliable & Affordable Power Now Part of Ancient History
Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
Before the wind and sun cult took charge, the power grid was designed and run by engineers - using coal, a little gas, hydro and nuclear (everywhere else in the world except Australia, that is). It ran like clockwork; power was cheap as chips and delivered on demand. Electrical storms were the only thing that … Continue reading Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
With the debacle playing out in Europe and the UK, it takes a special brand of delusion the claim that increasing reliance on wind and solar will inevitably result in falling power prices. And delusion, in that respect, is very much the order of the day amongst Australia’s Green/Labor Alliance. When it comes to anything … Continue reading No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
No Defence: Chaotic Wind & Solar Prime Culprits For Massive Retail Power Price Hikes
The insane cost of the wind and solar ‘transition’ is starting to bite; the wind and sun cult are struggling to shift the blame. While Vlad Putin may be a seriously thuggish dictator, he can’t seriously be held responsible for rocketing power prices in the UK, Europe and Australia, where power prices have been surging … Continue reading No Defence: Chaotic Wind & Solar Prime Culprits For Massive Retail Power Price Hikes
Destination Destruction: Deluded Virtue Signallers Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Every country chasing the wind and solar ‘transition’ is suffering from a mix of power rationing and rocketing prices. There is no exception. Which brings us to our sunny land, Australia. Blessed with abundant reserves of coal, gas and uranium, it ought to enjoy the world’s cheapest power prices (20 years ago, it did). Now, … Continue reading Destination Destruction: Deluded Virtue Signallers Destroying Reliable & Affordable Power Supplies
Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
In power-starved Europe, nuclear is back in vogue, principally because it’s cheap and reliable and doesn’t depend on the weather or Russian dictators who supply the gas to fill the gaps when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. There’s a reason that the French enjoy power prices half that suffered by their German … Continue reading Time to Grow Up: Australia’s Idiotic Ban On Nuclear Power Has to Go Right Now
