Subsidised and intermittent wind and solar infiltrate and destroy power grids like an aggressive cancer. But, unlike cancer, the cause of Australia’s power pricing and supply debacle is precisely known, and was as perfectly predictable, as it was perfectly avoidable. The massive subsidies to wind and solar were deliberately designed to knock reliable and affordable … Continue reading Panic Stations: Daily Wind & Solar Shortfalls Threaten Australia’s Entire Electricity Grid

Wind Power: The Complete Joke That Just Isn’t Funny Anymore
If it were only intended as a joke, wind power would be hilarious. However, the power pricing and supply calamity that follows any attempt to rely on sunshine and breezes tend to sober things up. Random 3,000 to 4,000 MW wind power output collapses are at the heart of Australia’s self-inflicted renewable energy debacle. The … Continue reading Wind Power: The Complete Joke That Just Isn’t Funny Anymore
Power Cuts & Rocketing Prices All Part of Australia’s Wonderful Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Australians are getting a bitter taste of their ‘inevitable’ renewable energy transition: power rationing and rocketing power prices. What’s depicted above is the weather-dependent power generation chaos at the heart of Australia’s renewable energy-driven power pricing and supply calamity. The dismal data – courtesy of Aneroid Energy – is the output delivered by Australian wind … Continue reading Power Cuts & Rocketing Prices All Part of Australia’s Wonderful Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
No Net-Zero: China’s Rise Built On Insatiable Demand for Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
The economic and military rise of China is based on coal-fired power, and a firm rejection of the suicidal net-zero emissions targets adopted by their Western opponents. China’s love affair with coal and nuclear power continues to flourish and, contrary to Western myth, the CCP has turned on unreliable wind and solar, with a vengeance … Continue reading No Net-Zero: China’s Rise Built On Insatiable Demand for Cheap & Reliable Coal-Fired Power
Prices Double: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Causes Runaway Power Prices
Australia’s power pricing and supply calamity is the product of policies deliberately designed to wreck reliable and affordable power supplies. Massive and seemingly endless subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar have done what they were designed to do: drive the owners of reliable coal-fired power generators to the wall, by allowing wind and solar … Continue reading Prices Double: Obsession With Subsidised Wind & Solar Causes Runaway Power Prices
Nuclear Power Only Way to Meet Net-Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets
The climate alarmists and RE rent-seekers pushing net-zero carbon dioxide emissions targets hate nuclear power because it’s the only way of satisfying any such target. And at the heart of that proposition, is the fact that the true cost of wind and solar are truly out of this world. As a partial concession to their … Continue reading Nuclear Power Only Way to Meet Net-Zero Carbon Dioxide Emissions Targets
Renewable Energy Rip-Off: How Price Gougers Profit From Sunset & Calm Weather
Intermittent wind and solar are a natural guarantee of grid chaos and rocketing power prices. Every single country that’s chased the wind and solar pipe dream has watched their power prices go through the roof, with no exception. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. STT has been banging on about this since December 2012. The … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rip-Off: How Price Gougers Profit From Sunset & Calm Weather
Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
Death and taxes are certainties, so too the wind and solar industry’s critical dependence on massive and endless subsidies. Those pushing wind and solar keep telling us that the power they produce is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. Every so often, rent seekers and their political enablers are faced with the retort that, … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions
Reliable & Affordable Electricity Means Unscrambling Subsidised Wind & Solar Debacle
An aggressive and ambitious Russian has caused policymakers to reflect on the debacle that is subsidised wind and solar. National security is now taken to equate with energy security; a chap with an insatiable thirst for power has revealed what Europe’s renewable energy transition will ultimately mean for those still pretending an all wind and … Continue reading Reliable & Affordable Electricity Means Unscrambling Subsidised Wind & Solar Debacle
Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
Death and taxes are guaranteed, so are rocketing power prices and power rationing once intermittent wind and solar are added to the grid. Duplicating capital costs to destabilise and undermine a generating system that works, with one that only ‘works’ when the wind is blowing just right and the sun is shining in a cloudless … Continue reading Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies
