The industrial revolution was all about harnessing cheap and reliable energy. Australia’s de-industrialisation has reversed that process. An obsession with chaotically intermittent and heavily subsidised wind and solar has sent Australian power prices through the roof. Energy hungry businesses such as mining, mineral processing and manufacturing are watching their profit margins evaporate. Pretty soon those … Continue reading Suicide Watch: Insane Wind & Solar Obsession Helping Wreck Australia’s Economy

New Nowhere Land: Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens With Renewed Renewables Push
Australia’s embattled power consumers thought they were about to get a break, then their PM decided to throw another billion dollars in subsidies to wind and solar. And it’s not like taxpayers and power consumers weren’t already on the hook. The Federal government's Large-Scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET) is costing all Australian power consumers over … Continue reading New Nowhere Land: Australia’s Energy Crisis Deepens With Renewed Renewables Push
Wicked Waste: Voter Fury At The Staggering & Mounting Cost of Australia’s Wind & Solar Subsidies
By throwing another lazy $billion dollars at intermittent wind and solar, PM Scott Morrison has not only lost the constituency that voted for him, he’s lost the plot. 20 years ago, Australians enjoyed the cheapest power in the world; now they the prices they suffer are up there with the world’s most expensive. All … Continue reading Wicked Waste: Voter Fury At The Staggering & Mounting Cost of Australia’s Wind & Solar Subsidies
Numerical Nonsense: Why Claims Wind & Solar Can Power the Planet Just Don’t Add Up
That troubled teenage, Greta the Fretter has reignited the nonsense that we’re a heartbeat away from an all wind and sun powered future. The girl that can see carbon dioxide gas, heads up a mathematically challenged group, who pronounce the time and date when the world will happily operate without generating any CO2 at all, … Continue reading Numerical Nonsense: Why Claims Wind & Solar Can Power the Planet Just Don’t Add Up
Power Supply Crunch: Mass Blackouts Guaranteed When Demand Spikes Coincide With Wind & Solar Collapses
Pin your power needs to the weather and expect results to vary. Last summer saw mass load shedding and blackouts across Victoria, South Australia and NSW when spikes in demand combined with collapses in wind and solar output. Demand patterns are as predictable as the delivery in wind and solar are chaotic. That chaos … Continue reading Power Supply Crunch: Mass Blackouts Guaranteed When Demand Spikes Coincide With Wind & Solar Collapses
Nuclear’s New Dawn: Australians Get Serious About Serious Power Generation
Australians fed up with crushing power bills are talking about a nuclear powered future, like there’s no tomorrow. Having recognised that climate alarmists will never relent in their crusade against carbon dioxide gas – being a proxy for eradicating cheap, reliable and affordable coal-fired power – anyone interested in a future where hot showers and … Continue reading Nuclear’s New Dawn: Australians Get Serious About Serious Power Generation
Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Lamenting their rocketing power bills and dreading mass blackouts this coming summer, Australians can be forgiven for their sense of despair. Australians once enjoyed the world’s cheapest power, reliably delivered, just like running water. No one talked about their power bills at backyard barbecues, or kept promising themselves that must have diesel generator to keep … Continue reading Reboot Required: Fixing Wind & Solar Debacle Means Winding the Clock Back 30 Years
Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Subsidised into existence, intermittent wind and solar now pose existential threats to Australia’s once reliable power supply, this summer and beyond. No industrialised country has ever run itself on sunshine and breezes; no country serious about maintaining first world living standards, ever will. So just how Australia’s energy boffins still cling to the notion … Continue reading Power Drain: Risible Reliance on Intermittent Wind & Solar Means Summer Blackouts Beckon
Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
Like night follows day, adding chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid sends power prices into orbit. South Australians know it: they suffer the world’s highest power prices as a result of their 50% RET. Other Australian states are heading in the same direction. Victoria’s great wind rush has already sent prices rocketing: wholesale … Continue reading Punishing Price: Australia’s Wind & Solar Obsession Means Power Prices Keep Rocketing
New Inquisition: Renewable Energy Zealots Can’t Face Facts Like Sunset & Calm Weather
The Spanish Inquisition literally roasted heretics alive, these days it’s anyone who dares question the mantra that wind and solar power are our only salvation from imminent climate doom. No country has ever powered itself on sunshine and breezes; no country ever will. The simple daily occurrence of sunset and calm weather provides the … Continue reading New Inquisition: Renewable Energy Zealots Can’t Face Facts Like Sunset & Calm Weather
